I have some questions:
1) Can I use “keep warm” setting for rice? I have to make 4 cups for a family dinner and I want to make it in advance the same day.
2) I have a recipe with chicken broth instead of water. Have you tried that? The water (broth) and rice ratio is the same?
3) The time for basmati rice is 22 min even for 4 cups?

Thank you!!!

Hi Lisa! The three minutes is for REGULAR white rice. 🙂 I haven’t used instant before, but a quick google search tells me it’s possible. Because I haven’t tried it, I don’t want to tell you a time and be wrong. But I know that the 3 minutes for regular rice works! 🙂 You’ll still need to allow the time of the pressure coming down naturally, so I’m referring to 3 minutes of actual cooking time when setting the time on the Instant Pot. Because you don’t have to monitor it at all, it’s nice to have it going in the background while you do other things, then it’s ready when you are! 🙂 Hope that helps.

Just wondering something about cooking rice. I want to use the same cooker to make the rice and then then use it for the main dish. I know a pan can be set on the trivet in the bottom of the cooker for “baking”. Could I put my rice and water in a bowl (glass or metal?) and cook it that way so I don’t have to transfer & wash the instapot insert? Just trying to streamline the process. Thanks for any feedback!

And it came out perfect. I used seasoned yellow rice. And I threw in some leftover chicken pieces from a rotisserie chicken we had the day before. I used the manual setting for 4 minutes and 10 minute quick real ease. I love my instapot. I work full time and I allows me to cook nutritious meals from home instead of eating. Both my husband an I have health issues and this has been a great buy for us. I’m thinking of buying another one so I can cook two items at a time.

Weird. Brown rice only takes 45 minutes in my rice cooker.

Hi! I know it seems like a big difference, but it absolutely works. The additional time is required to completely cook the brown rice but does not leave it mushy.

Hi Jackie, it shouldn’t make a difference at all, although it might take slightly longer for the pressure to come down, but you can release the rest manually after 15 minutes or so. Hope that helps! 🙂
