I just wanted you to know. I am 68 years od. I have never ever, made a perfect pot of brown rice, until TODAY. This was too easy. Where have you been all of my life. Thanks, Glenn
Yum! Perfect long grain brown rice!.. thank you! I did rinse it first, used 2.5 cups (plus just a tad more) of water, added a tablespoon of butter and teaspoon of olive oil, a little salt, garlic powder, onion salt, and black pepper... all TO TASTE, sealed the lid, followed your time/instructions exactly, and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and delicious rice was the result!! THANKS for the simple instructions and to the point! Excellent video! ( 6 qt Instant Pot used) By the way people.....the "Pressure Cook" and "manual" buttons are the SAME thing!
I make a 4-cup (dry) batch in my 8-qt Instant Pot, and divvy it up into about 6 sandwich size ZipLoc bags. Flatten & freeze for later use. Pop a bag into the microwave to reheat and you're good to go! Clean up once, enjoy six times!
Holy mouse manure, I just made the long grain wild rice, did as you said, 2 cups rice, 2.5 cups water, set for 22 mins, pressed go, and placed on seal, watched it steam up, then the display went to 22, waited for it to get to 'L', then vented it, gezz, the rice is perfect, I tried samples from all over the cooking pan, ALL the rice is the same, all cooked evenly, I'm sold, what I like about it, I don't have to stir, watch it, consider the time, just put in the stuff, with the water, next batch I am going to try 50/50 for veg broth and water, and just leave it alone to do its thing, I don't have to watch it, which is great for me, thanks again for your great tut..
I have never said this to a TH-camr before... but I think I love you!!!!!! I have struggled to make rice for my entire adult life. It ALWAYS comes out either soaked and mushy or underdone and weird. I tried this and aced it on my first attempt. I’ll absolutely never go back to the traditional stove-top method. This made the most delicious brown rice I have never had. I wish I could hug you!!!!!
4 years since I found this video, and I still come to it every time I need to remember how to make brown rice. Thank you!!! This is the only video I ever follow to make my DELICIOUS brown rice
My tried and tested version: 1 cup brown rice dipped in warm water 1.5 cup water (1.5 cup for each cup of rice) 1 tsp salt Bay leaf or any other optional spice some oil for bottom of pot. Leave on manual for 25 min. Fluff and serve.
MINI-INSTANTPOT RECIPE HERE! At first I did not know if I could make this in the 3 quart mini instant pot but it worked! The rice is beautiful and I have now added this to my recipes. Thanks so much for sharing. I tried other recipes with not so good results. I wish there was a legit, simple recipes instant pot channel to follow.
Had my instant pot for over a year gathering dust as the instructions and lack of recipes were useless!.. finally found the time to delve into doing brown mixed rice thanx to this vid cheers! :)
Thank you SO MUCH! Brown rice is a staple in my weight watchers diet so when my rice cooker died I was so sad. I busted out the instapot and this video helped me. The rice came out PERFECTLY!!
MY RICE WAS PERFECT!! I do recommend to use 2 cups of water if you are rinsing the rice. The first time I made it I was a bit skeptical and added a bit more water even though I rinsed the rice and some parts are more mushy. Should have just taken the advice and not doubt it. THANKS!!!
Always have been a fan of brown rice. Never had the courage to make it. This is just plain stupid simple (not you the recipe). It was Soo easy to make and I'm pairing it with my cuban black bean insta pot recipe. I'm living the high life now. Thank you so much for this.
Hi Kristen. For the 1st time ever, I made brown rice in my IP as per your directions and ---- oh my goshhh --- they turned out super good and delicious!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Kristen for giving me the confidence in cooking brown rice in the IP. Your recipe is definitely a KEEPER! and oh, i've subscribed to your channel as well. 😊
thank you! just made this today, 100% perfect, I have been struggling to cook my brown rice on the stove top with weird random hard rice, was ready to buy a rice cooker, and saw this, best rice ive ever made!
I always come back to this video because you make it so fucking clear and so simple. Likewise to other individuals comments you keep it brief and you inform us on what needs to be accomplished.
I don't usually eat brown rice but got a bunch of it recently. Wasn't aware of the different cooking times, it was a little crunchy. Did 15 minutes this time and still a little crunchy so decided I should probably look it up. I have a Power Pressure Cooker XL which comes to pressure in about 5 minutes. with the build up, cook time, and release it still beats a pan on the stove using way more electricity and not very accurate temps on older stoves which means less chance for burning.
Thanks for the recipe. I soaked my brown basmati rice overnight. 2 cups hot water on manual with 2 cups of water for 20min. The pressure released in 10 min. I enjoyed the texture. I figured since I soaked it I could cut the time by 2 min. It probably didn't matter.
Got this going now. I have had no luck with rice in my IP. But everything I have tried of yours has had me shook. So I figured I’d try this too! 😊 ***as a follow up.... it was freaking prefect!!!! Omg!!!
OK so I’ve had a instant pot for two years. I’ve been struggling with making rice. You are a Insta pot answer to prayers thank you so much. The Rice came out great
You have explained why my brown rice comes out like mush. I didn't know that if you pre-wash you use less water. WOW...I'm going to make it both ways. I searched "how to cook brown rice in Insta pot" and your video was first.😄 thanks.
Just made it! Turned out perfect! Usually I’m not a fan of brown rice but the texture was perfect. My picky 3 year old even ate a whole bowl of it plain believe it or not.
It's so interesting that you can reduce the cooking liquid by half a cup if you don't rinse the rice first. I didn't think that rinsing would add that much moisture. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion regarding the merits of rinsing versus not rinsing the rice before cooking? Please share if you do. Thanks for the simple recipe!
I know people who soak their rice (and all their grains). She said it helps with digestion. As far as reason I thought it helped the rice to cook better the traditional way.
Great video through and through, I did exactly what you did but with 5 cups brown rice (prepping for this week) and it still came out great! 1:1 ratio of water to rice has always worked for me and it worked this time as well. Thanks again c:
Twenty two mins is not enough for short grain. I do 26-27 mins depending on how much rice I use. I also live alone, so I do 1 1/4 C. rinsed rice and 1 1/2 C Water. I also use the saute function and saute about 1 T. chopped garlic and about 1/4 chopped onion in some Olive oil prior to adding rice, then water. Anyway, that is what works best for me.
Yay! Thanks for showing every setting and detail bc I’m a newbie to the instant pot 🤗 I cooked my chicken first and used that broth to make the rice...DELISH!
That is an easy recipe. I just found out Type 2 Diabetes. I have love rice all my life. White rice that is. Now I need to tone it down and go brown rice. Thanks for the Instant Pot way.
Sorry to hear about your type 2. If u want to reverse it completely naturally you should give up rice all together as it spikes your insulin levels.. check out the video lectures of Dr.Fung... good luck to you.. remember the good news is type 2 is completely reversible.
This recipe makes the best tasting brown rice I've ever had. Love that it's fuss-free and comes out perfect every time. Thank you for sharing it! I wanted to ask - I have an Instant pot mini (three quart size), and just one cup of brown rice in my pantry at the moment. Can I make one cup of rice using the same ratio and cooking time? Thank you again! 🙏
@@rosechase2056 Rose, they were talking about the ratio of rice to water. So 2 cups rice to 2 1/2 cup of water or broth becomes 1 cup rice to 1 1/4 cup water or broth.

Kristen Pound Does the “Rice” setting work for brown rice too or just whit rice?
what brand of brown rice do you buy cause this looks very good
Thanks! My brown rice came out perfect! I love to add either Quinoa or Brown Rice to my salads. Fills me up more.
🤦🏻 mine still comes out sticky
Do you show how to make sweet potato and chickpeas ?
I just wanted you to know. I am 68 years od. I have never ever, made a perfect pot of brown rice, until TODAY. This was too easy. Where have you been all of my life. Thanks, Glenn
Way to not turn a simple instructional video into a 10-20 minute one. Love your brevity.
I second that!!

Whoa! You can freeze rice, that’s a game changer
Whats a "dry" batch?
How much water do you use with 4 cups? Or what do you mean by dry batch?
I think they mean not rinsed.
Never microwave foods contained inside a bag or wrapped in plastic, or in plastic containers. It’s highly toxic!
Holy mouse manure, I just made the long grain wild rice, did as you said, 2 cups rice, 2.5 cups water, set for 22 mins, pressed go, and placed on seal, watched it steam up, then the display went to 22, waited for it to get to 'L', then vented it, gezz, the rice is perfect, I tried samples from all over the cooking pan, ALL the rice is the same, all cooked evenly, I'm sold, what I like about it, I don't have to stir, watch it, consider the time, just put in the stuff, with the water, next batch I am going to try 50/50 for veg broth and water, and just leave it alone to do its thing, I don't have to watch it, which is great for me, thanks again for your great tut..

OMG YESSSS!!! This just made my day! I'm so glad it worked so well for you too! ❤️
@@KristenPound Lol, me too! 31 years old and still can't make rice hahaha. I'm taking my instant pot out of the closet now. Thank you!!
I've tried this recipe so many times and my brown rice always comes out perfectly cooked.
Just made this with water 💦 for 22 min on high, didn’t rinse. Came out perfectly 👍🏻

I also have the IP Mini. Are you saying you used the same measurements? I was afraid the 2 c rice/2.5 c water amoub=nts would be too much in the Mini.
Yea this was great easy and to the point! As a mom and wife and 4 fur babies DEF don't got the time 30 min videos! Thanks girl!
I double this recipe for meal prepping and it works fine. Thanks Kristen!
when you double it up do you add more time when cooking it?
@@OscarGonzalez-oc8vo no

I just use my instant pot for the first time and did this rice. It was perfect. Thank you.
I have made the brown rice using your method and it works perfect every single time. Thank you.
This worked perfectly! Thank you! I rinsed my rice and only used 2 cups of veggie broth.

Me too!!!!
Thank you! Now I enjoy eating brown rice since it is perfectly cooked.
Yay! This makes me so happy! :)
I should have watched this first. I used the rice button and my rice is crispy. Will use this method next time. Thank you!
Thank you- this was so helpful!! I hate reading instructions and would much rather just watch a video😆

Perfect!!!! I add just a bit of oil too and it was *chef’s kiss*
I could not figure out how to cook rice with this thing until I saw your video! Thank you !

I think it’s the opposite. Reduce 1/2c if you DO rinse
@@AbbeyOnAtkins yes reduce the water, since your washing the rice will add moisture.
Thank you so much for this. It was so simple but I did not know how to do it, So thank you for showing us.
Great video through and through, I did exactly what you did but with 5 cups brown rice (prepping for this week) and it still came out great! 1:1 ratio of water to rice has always worked for me and it worked this time as well. Thanks again c:
Yayy! You're so welcome! :)
Same time or you added some more?

Kristen you don't reduce the water when only cooking one pound of rice?
@@rosechase2056 Rose, they were talking about the ratio of rice to water. So 2 cups rice to 2 1/2 cup of water or broth becomes 1 cup rice to 1 1/4 cup water or broth.
It works! Thank you very much

I did it!!!! Thanks 😊
