How to Make Rice in an Instant Pot

It is so easy to make rice in the instant pot, and it comes out perfect.This is one on the reasons I LOVE my Instant Pot.

Plus, I got rid of my rice cooker, because the Instant Pot is so much more universal.

I follow the same water to rice ratio listed on the bag, for any type of rice.

We happened to be making Long Grain Rice. 

(Sometimes I like to do half rice and half quinoa for more nutritious benefits)

Long Grain Rice

2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice

(Look at the amount of cooked rice to ensure your desired amount will fit in the instant pot)

Pour in the rice.

Pour in the water.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure it is turned to seal.

Press the rice button.

The rice button cooks for 10 minutes.

Carefully, release the steam.

Use the handy dandy rice paddle that came with your instant pot, and fluff up the rice.

Enjoy!

I like to throw the inner pot into the dishwasher, and hand wash the lid for easy clean-up.

It's as easy as that.

Quinoa and Rice

My girls like the taste of Quinoa, but the size and texture feels weird to them.  So, we add it to the rice for a more rice-like texture.  If you want them to only eat Quinoa, this is a good way to slowly transition from rice.

We prefer Jasmine Rice and Red Quinoa

1 1/2 Cups Jasmine Rice or other Rice

1/2 Red Quinoa or White

Boil 4 Cups of water, add Jasmine Rice and Quinoa

Reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 min.

Remove from heat and let stand 5 min.

Fluff with fork and enjoy!
