Perfectly Cooked white long-grain rice in an Instant Pot #TexasHomesteader

Instant Pot Long-Grain White Rice

Rice is a very inexpensive staple. And Instant Pot Rice only needs 3 minutes pressure cooking and 10 minutes natural release time. Plus by cooking a batch of rice at one time you have rice ready to serve in many different ways later in the week. #TexasHomesteader

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Long-Grain White Rice (185 grams), rinsed
  • 1 Cup Broth or Water (259 grams) (NOTE: 1 cup for firmer/drier rice, up to 1¼ cups for softer/wetter rice)
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of rice until water runs clear. Then place in the pressure cooker's inner liner along with 1 - 1¼ cups of broth or water. (1 cup broth for firmer rice or up to 1¼ cups of broth for softer rice) Salt to taste.

  2. Cook in Instant Pot on high pressure for 3 minutes.

  3. When cooking time is up, allow 10 minutes natural release, then manually release remaining pressure by flipping the lever to 'venting'. (careful, steam can burn)

  4. Fluff with fork & serve hot. Refrigerate leftover rice for subsequent servings.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: You're using one cup of rinsed white rice to 1 - 1¼ cups broth for this recipe. (depending upon whether you want firm or softer rice)

But depending upon the size of your pressure cooker you can multiply your quantity by 2, 3 or 4 for more rice. The same pressure-cook time of 3 minutes and natural release time of 10 minutes remains the same.  

Most often when I'm batch-cooking rice: 3 cups rice, 3½ cups broth, 2 ¼ tsp salt. Pressure cook 3 minutes, natural release 10 minutes, fluff and serve!
