PERFECT Instant Pot Brown Rice Every Time! 

@johnnysilverfoot9751 same I only cook white rice and my I followed the video instructions and my husband was like its not cooked right , it came out crunchy and hard! I'm like what? Isn't that how brown rice is supposed to be cooked? He is like no 😅 I am glad I found this comment !

Made it this way! Came out perfect! Thanks

11/4?

ICcccreg one and one fourth cup of water

Thank you 😊❣️

If it’s 2 cups of brown rice instead of 1 how much longer? Or is it same temperature?

@@usofine0690 same

That is perfect! Yum!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is much better and healthier option.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

I have a 3qt & 6qt. Haven't used cause I am sooo intimidated by them 😂 I thought rice may be a good start ?

Hetty DeVroom I just got one myself.. the 8 qt. Thought I wouldn’t like it took me about a week to decide to keep it. I made the best shredded chicken in it 1st then froze the chicken stock in a mason jar bc it’s flavor was so delicious.. Wish I had her email bc I made frozen sirloin steaks whole russet potatoes and gravy that was out of this world delicious.. I have watched several videos on frozen meat in the pot but I’ve not seen one like I made. I browned the frozen steak nicely before I added liquid and potatoes threw in generous portions of garlic and fresh herbs like rosemary thyme oregano and a splash of red wine into beef stock instead of water I had in the fridge and it was so delicious.. browning the steak made a big difference in flavor.. it was super tender and had the browned look so it was eye appealing instead of a grey piece of meat. Good luck with your instant pot. I really like mine now. Super easy meals minimal clean up ..

@@jadebell550 Thanks for commenting. Sounds super delicious. I just made a lentil soup that was also very good. I think potatoes come out so smoooooth and creamy. Also have cooked acorn squash. So many choices. Keep on cooking!

Hetty DeVroom your welcome and thank you I will keep cooking. You too.

What is qpr? Thanks

@@judith1216 I'm just completely guessing but perhaps she meant: NPR = Natural pressure release QPR = Quick pressure release Referring to opening the vent as shown in the video, and this girl is saying if you just leave the vent closed and let the safety pin drop naturally that is the condition she is referring to.

@@kiraPh1234k Thank you for taking the time to explain that. Not quite sure why people do that. Makes me feel like I'm not in the cub or something :)

Hi Laura, I happen to have the perfect rice pudding recipe. 2 cups of cooked white rice or brown rice. 2 cups of milk, whole preferred, or half-and-half, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla. The vanilla goes in at the end. Boil the sugar maple syrup milk and rice together until you have a glossy creamy consistency. The rice greens will swell up even more than they already have by being cooked in the milk, you can also add raisins into if you like dried fruit. Enjoy. This was one of my favorites as a kid.

@@ablindgibsongirl sounds yummy

Christophe Germe I don’t have a rice button. Thanks to this video I know what to do.

you use it with brown rice? I'm new to the instant pot thing

@@shellijohnson9918 Yes brown rice works good. Use the rice function set the pressure to High pressure and 1 1/2 rice volume of water. As with all rice in the IP, to avoid sticking, do a natural release and not quick. Hope this helps.

Thanks!!

Thanks for info Cheryl 🌹

Love your name! I just had lentil soup for lunch and split pea for dinner, up all night out-gassing!

eminusipi my sister spent quite a bit of time in the Middle East and made a wicked lentils and Brussel sprouts curry. Her trick to preventing after affects was to put the lentils in boiling water and soak for 30 minutes. Discard the water and you are ready to go Gas is caused by the starchy carbohydrates and soaking them in the hot water removes it into the water. I make the curry in the instant pot and it is great

Mrs. T is Going Debt Free ditto! I thought she’d been hacked! Lol

Ha ha! Fixed! It went live when I was still writing the title!!!! ha ha!

yes, i was confused.

@@skpjoecoursegold366 Oh man! I didn't even realize it had happened!!!!! ha ha ha. Sorry about that!

Kristin we love that you’re human! Relatability has its advantages!

I followed her directions to make 3 cups of rice when my family was came for dinner and it turned out perfectly. I did add an additional quarter cup of water after her measurements so that came out to an even 4 cups of water instead of 3 and 3/4 of a cup. I hope that makes sense. It made perfect brown sticky rice.

Kim - looking for help with this as well. I've tried 4 times now to cook brown rice (following the inx per this video). It has been hard every time. Help!

If your feeding more then 5 people or want left overs, go with 8qt, that's what I have for a family of 5 and it's perfect.

Try cooking for 20 min. instead of 22 and then let it slow release for 10 min.

For brown rice you need to add a bit more water. If you use the rice cooker the general ratio is one cup of brown rice to 2 cups of water. I’m not sure for the rice cooker though because I’m trying to determine if I should buy it.

Nancy Taylor I also rinse until water is clear. Rice has debris in it just like beans

Nancy Taylor washing the rice isn’t necessarily a must but doing to removes a lot of the excess surface starch. A good rule is to wash the rice 3 times (which is about when the water starts to be clear from washing the rice) with room temp water making sure to stir the rice around so the excess starch comes off. It’ll overall increase the quality of the rice because that surface starch is what makes the rice get gummy and clump together. Again if it’s not necessary and if you like your rice a specific way, hey you do you. 👍🏻

Just cook it for 26 minutes instead of 22!

On my pot, I click on "adjust" and it switches between "less", "normal" and "more".

@1:50

Make sure your release isn't in the venting position?

Katherine Sullivan it removes the excess surface starch.

Good question I’m about to find out

@@gregwienholt9864 so, what did you find out?

@@shellijohnson9918 Yes. I've been playing around with the amount of water added though. It seems that 2 to 2.25 cups water to rice works. If it is still too watery, I let it sit in warming mode for a bit.

Soak the rice for couple of hours and drain the water. Reduces arsenic to a greater extent. Agreed that Quino is the best.

Search "instant pot-magnetic wrap"

see below

I don't use that button!

Instant is set and forget, one and done. Pot requires you to be there/watch it more.

@@cr1197 but that makes cooking sound like a chore

@@lieutenantdark7867 Because for a massive number of people, it is. Only 32% of people across 60+ polled countries claim to actually enjoy cooking. Only 10% in the US, and 45% claim to actively hate it. (hbr.org/2017/09/the-grocery-industry-confronts-a-new-problem-only-10-of-americans-love-cooking) And even among those who enjoy cooking, how much time do they have to devote to it? With how busy people are, spending more time than needed in the kitchen is a waste. The only reason I won't say the majority of the world's population doesn't enjoy cooking is that I don't know how that study reflects east Asian and Indian preferences. And I'd bet COVID got quite a few people into cooking recently. But the global trend of people who enjoy cooking is most certainly plummeting. If you enjoy watching water boil, pop off. Others don't find that to be worth their time.

@@cr1197 that truly is saddening

@@lieutenantdark7867 I mean, it's only food. What if they're using their free time to read a book, paint, garden, spend time with their family? Any other of the thousands of things a human being can enjoy. Not everyone has to enjoy life the same way you do, you know. To some, cooking is a hassle. To others, something you dislike doing is the highlight of their day. Let people be happy, yo.

I wondered the same thing!
