I have tried for years to make perfect rice: rice cooker, in a pot on the stove, etc. But not until I purchased the Instant Pot pressure cooker and followed the directions and script for Perfect Jasmine Rice have I been pleased with the results. In the Instant Pot it's perfect every time. Thanks for your video, Flo.
When I got my Instant Pot, the very first thing I did was get rid of my rice cooker and there are absolutely no regrets. The IP makes perfect rice every time.
+Flo Lum - I LOVE my Nojirushi rice cooker though.. and having it helps me to make rice AND cook in the instant pot so they are both done at the same time.
If I had a Zojirushi rice cooker, I would probably have kept it too but I have been getting away from using non-stick and now I have 2 Instant Pots so I can still have my rice done at the same time. 😊
Flo Lum Yes.. I agree about non-stick in general.. but boy oh boy that zojurishi (yikes.. not nojirushi!) is one quality product... perfect rice every time and thx to hand washing it - the lining on the bowl is still like new (3+ years later). thinking of getting a second IP bowl though.. will make it easier to start a 2nd batch of soup, etc.... thx again for your fine video.... welcome back too!
+Flo Lum : I really love it , but I wanna buy the 220v smart pot with BT, where can I get it ? I have found for 1 week but failed. I am in China . could you help me?
Just watched Perfect Jasmine Rice. Please also include Setting and Time for people who can’t start the pot with the App. Thank you! Am enjoying-you’re very concise and clear.
Thanks, Lyn! Hope you enjoy the channel. The recipe should be in the recipe book that came with your pot but mind you I’ve had my pots for almost 3 years now. Manual high 4 mins, 10 mins natural release.
Hello from the USA/ Missouri!!!! I just followed your vid about making rice in the Instant Pot. Delish!!! We are rice foodies in this house! It turned out perfect. Some days all I want for lunch/dinner is a bowl of rice with a bit of butter and some fresh ground pepper. Thank you for the great video:)
Thank you very much. I just bought an IP yesterday, but have been checking them out since Christmas. I’ve only seen a couple of your videos so far, but I like how easy you explain and show things!
Perfect Basmati rice - thank you! I followed the Instant Pot instructions for Basmati and it was a soggy disaster! So glad I found your channel, you have been a huge help (ribs tonight, yum and so fast!)... I hope you don't mind but I answered another reader about brown rice as we cook it in the instant pot all the time! No soaking, no rinsing and a 2 cups rice to 2.5 cups water. I am using a short grain brown rice from a large bag from T and T markets...22 minutes at high pressure and 10 minute natural release...
+Claire Maunsell Absolutely don't mind you answering questions here! Especially when I don't have an answer. 😊 So glad you are finding the videos helpful! Thanks, Claire!
Basmati rice is far better than jasmine rice. Basmati rice has the kernel that is 18% more fiber than any rice and it has flavor. it grows only in india and Pakistan. it doesnot need to rinse because if it's clean and rinsing takes away the vitamins. it does not have the starch dust like jasmine rice. if basmati rice is brown then it will out beat any quality of rice in the world. basmati rice = 1.5 cup ratio to get a perfect rice and 1tsf olive oil will make the rice not clinging at all.
@@skylark304 Thanks, I was wondering about rice types and qualities... all we usually eat is white rice, I'm not even sure what kind... But short grain... I want to experiment with different rice, I love rice!
Ah, humble beginnings. When you whipped out your phone and started the instant pot, my mind was blown! I didn't know that was possible. I hope my instant pot can do that.🤞It looks like the same brand and I got it last year. I have your cookbook in Kindle format. Have cooked many meals for the fam from it. Heard you have a new book now. Will check it out. Keep up the good work!
Flo Lum, thank you for sharing these videos. I have two stove top pressure cookers. However, I recently purchased the Instant Pot, so happy to see how easy it will be to use. Thank you again for all the great recipes you have shared thus far.
I got my instant pot yesterday and i'm glad i saw your videos.Thank you for teaching me how to use it.I like your kitchen.it's not horrible as you said.you are adorable.yx again
Hi Flo, watched your video on the sticky rice a couple of times and finally tried it today. Just wanted to thank-you for this wonderful recipe as it turned out so great and delicious.
Each and every video is an imprimatur of your own style and elegance. it bears that poise in simple rice cooking video into an unglazed beauty and grace. you express your love for cooking as an eastern grace to western kitchen. highly educative intuition and comment is truly an addition of family value and a bliss. instant pot should select you as their cheer leader.
Great videos! I have tried almost every recipe you offer including the creme caramel and you are right on. Thank you. I love my IP and use it almost every day. I'm having a birthday group this weekend and I'm doing ribs again, soooo good and easy.
+Rob Marchetti Thanks, Rob! I was spoiled by my trip to France where I had a beautiful modern kitchen to cook in just before moving into this apartment. Check out my Beef Bourguignon or Roast Chicken videos to see what I mean.
Thank you, Flo. I just received my IP and the first thing that I made was rice. I used the measuring cup that came with the pot but had no idea that the inside measurements correspond to the cup. That will make it easier the next time. Also, I did not pre-rinse my rice and it was quite gelatinous! Thanks for the tips!
I so enjoy your videos (also like the background jazz) and all the wonderful recipes. You two are a great team....After seeing you use the smart pot I ordered a Smart Instant Pot from one of the links you provided thank you Flo. l am having fun using it with some of your recipes.
Thanks Flo - love your videos! I'm a newbie to the IP Community as well as a first-time IP DUO pot owner. I want to make better use of my IP and am eagerly learning along with the rest of your subscribers! I think anything you want to make will be great to watch and learn.
Thanks so much, Angeline! You'll love your IP! Sometimes people just need to see it in action. Glad you're finding the videos helpful. Hope you're subscribed so you will be notified of new videos.
Sitting here and catching up on a few of your videos that I haven't watched yet. A while ago, I asked what rice you used for your every day cooking. That question was generated because wanted to watch your Instant Pot Rice video - I knew you had made one, but when I was hunting for it, I couldn't find it. Of course, now I found it and my question was answered a second time! LOL
Thank you Flo for your recipes. I have watched a few of them, and each one looks delicious! Thank you for all the work you both put into making your video's.
Hello Flo! That was an excellent video tutorial! It had a short, informative but sweet intro. You covered ALL the details and you were overall concise with the information while being as cute as you are naturally. I would love to learn how to make traditional sushi rice. I hope that you can make one because you are one of the few people who naturally know how to teach on a video. Thank you so much! Jay
Thanks so much, Jay! That is very kind! I will add sushi rice to the list. In the meantime, I usually soak Japanese short grain rice for at least 30 mins before cooking. Hope that's helpful.
Liked! Wish this were titled specifically jasmine rice because I found it searching for brown rice. Going to look now to see if you have one for brown rice. Thanks!
+Amanda Moran While Instant Pot has a web page for cooking different grains and rice here: instantpot.com/cooking-time/rice-and-grains/ they also have posted a page on cooking perfect rice here: instantpot.com/how-to-cook-perfect-rice-in-an-electric-pressure-cooker/. And basically what they say is since the rice is damp (soaked) from washing, then you only need a 1:1 ratio for the water and then the only thing which varies is the cooking time.
Hey Flo, I bought an Intant Pot today - was looking for recipes... and what do I come across but my friend from good ol Rye High - Glad to see you doing well. :) Julia x
Great video Flo, you have a nice style. I am new to the IP, am hoping to master cooking other whole grains (hulled barley?) & beans. My first attempt at beans did not work (mushy), despite following instructions. Would love to see videos on this if you have experience. Thanks!
Yes-Do some more cooking videos please..Id like to learn how to make chicken curry, Indian dishes-Also some Chinese dishes-Beef or chicken Lo mein maybe..Your kitchen looks great..Thanks for the rice recipe!
Flo love it love it you are awesome and just make it all look so good I bet your old man is so well feed, don't worry about the kitchen my kitchen is much smaller that is why I purchased my Instant pot small worktop I am going to use my pot to make Natto but as yet have not found any information online to using it for Natto
I liked your video, learned that I should rinse the rice before cooking...good idea...no sticky rice....I just made some rice and it came out OK, but it was a bit sticky...at the bottom of the pot...I will be sure to rinse before cooking...thanks
I'm really enjoying your videos. I just got my IP about a week ago. I don't have my slow cooker anymore and wonder if you can give some tips or do some videos about using what you would make in your Crock-Pot and how to do it in the IP. For instance, does it need more water or how do you figure the time if you want to pressure cook it and not slow cook it. Thanks.
+Julie Green Thanks, Julie. I tossed out my slow cooker once I picked up the IP. To be honest, I never liked cooking with the slow cooker and I’ve tried all sorts of recipes. I can’t remember a single one I enjoyed. A rule with the pressure cooking is you will need liquid to create the pressure to cook but the liquid will not evaporate and will create more liquid while cooking. Hope that helps.
+Nancy Giorlando Thanks, Nancy! I always give instructions for the DUO at the bottom of all my IP recipes on the blog. This particular recipe is not mine. It is found in the recipe book that came with your IP and on the app. 😊
+Nancy McCormack Hi Nancy, when I am using my own recipes, I always give instructions to those without the Smart IP on my blog. However, when I am showing how to make a recipe that is not my own, I give the source. Hope that's helpful!
I can’t believe I haven’t tried to cook white rice with my 3-year-old instant pot until later this morning! I have a feeling it would taste 10x better than my $15 rice cooker🤣🤣🤣. If it works, I will be saving a couple of hundred from having to buy a Korean Cuckoo “smart” rice cooker which suppose to make the best tasting white rice ever. Keeping my fingers cross🤞
+Rosmali Chiba The longer you keep it on "keep warm", it will start to crisp and stick to the bottom of the pot. As soon as it's done, make sure keep warm is off. I usually stir it around before serving. If there is rice leftover, I store it in an air tight container in the fridge. Then I usually use it for fried rice or will reheat it in microwave.
I own the Instant Pot duo since Wednesday this week. And now I found your videos (which are awesome and inspireing) and have to find out that in the USA there is a bluetooth version of this pot. Unfortunately it is not available in Germany. Will keep on watching your videos and make some of your recipes
It would be very informative if you could also mention what buttons you would be pushing if someone doesn't have a smart phone. Great videos as always!! Thanks for you for the great info!!!!!
Hi Flo. Enjoyed your video, very informative. Only problem is we do not have the smart app instant pot as they are not available in uk. So we are unable to use the app to cook anything, would we just use the rice button instead to do jasmine rice?
Hi Flo, love your videos! Just purchased my instant pot and have had good success with the things I’ve cooked, mostly meat dishes. Can one successfully cook broccoli and the softer veggies with out them getting mushy? Thanks!
I don't often cook veggies in the IP as I believe it is just another tool in the kitchen. It does not eliminate other cooking techniques. Vegetables need precise cooking to get the texture you like. However, here is one time I do broccoli: th-cam.com/video/RoMI4PBn5CA/w-d-xo.html
There is also now a free app that has IP recipes/cooking times/tips for all IP models that you can get off of the app stores for apple and android. make sure you choose the red icon for this app =)
hi flo, i was very intrigued that you can use an app for your IP. that is amazing! i have had my pot for almost 3 years, but i have never used the app to control the pot. is it from IP ? thanks so much
Flo, yes, I belatedly remembered you said at the beginning it is from the IP included recipe book. And yes, that’s what mine says. Thanks for replying! Lyn
Hi Flo! I've been a fan of yours for years but have never cooked rice in my instantpot. You make it look really easy but I don't have measurements on my liner. Should I jus follow the rice bag instructions 2: parts water to 1 part rice or is it different using a pressure cooker? I'm using Kirkland enriched long grain.
It is equal amounts of rice to water. If you measure 3 cups of rice with the cup that came with your pot and then measured 3 cups of water in that same cup, you will find that the water will reach the 3 cup line in the pot.
So, if I have a recipe that says use 3 cups water, or broth or whatever, and I fill that empty pot up to the three cup measurement mark on the pot, I'm getting more than 3 cups then? Because in your explanation above, you used an equal amount of rice to displace that equal amount of liquid. In my scenario, it's all liquid.
The marks are IF YOU USE THE PLASTIC CUP TO MEASURE. Otherwise, if you use a real measuring cup, 3 cups rice, and then a real measuring glass, 3 cups water.
Well I hope you read this. Last comment made was 2 years ago. Anyway, all I can do is try. Do you think you could make a Mexican rice recipe in the ip for me? It would be greatly appreciated. Love your recipes have tried several with good results. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing your labor of love.
I have tried SO many times to make "flavoured" rice in the IP and I almost always get a BURN message. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for checking though, Lydia!
For brown Jasmine rice I use 2 water to 1 rice ratio for small batches in my (non-clamped top) rice cooker. Less water to rice for larger batches. Hope to get an insta-pot to experiment with idea ratio.
I just bought an Instant Pot. I was conflicted between a Japanese rice cooker and the IP. But your videos convinced me to get the Smart IP. I haven't cooked anything yet. Rice is going to be my first. Would you prepare short grain rice the same way? I've read that it's good to soak the rice for and hour and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Would you do that as well? Thanks for your help. I can't wait to try some of your recipes. Keith
Welcome to the club, Keith! Yes, I would soak short grain rice for at least 30 mins. You can prepare it the same as long grain and simply delay the time to start cooking. Enjoy!
Being from South Georgia....I always cooked my rice on the stovetop but typically added salt and butter to my recipe. When making rice in the insta pot should I not use salt or butter until after the rice is cooked?
+Kevin Dufresne I have made sushi rice but I made sure I soaked the rice for about 30 min but I still use 1:1 ratio and cook as I do in this video. I never use the rice setting.
I sometimes use a long grain rice from GOYA that has been "enriched". There is a cautionary notice on the front of the bag, "Do Not Wash". Washing depletes the nutrients in that rice. All rice is not alike.
I’ve poured water into the pot twice. The first time I had just gotten the instant pot. The second time I was in la-la land and making rice without thinking. Luckily I was able to dry out the bottom.
Thanks Flo enjoying your videos. I dont' have my IP yet ( I should in a couple weeks as a gift). You are on the few folks I've found who has the Smart IP which is the one i'm getting. You are happy with it?
i am thinking of buying an instapot I enjoyed your video and music was relaxing I also thought your kitchen was nice. I think in the video you were talking about spillage into the outer container and that is why you removed the inside and put the rice in but I am thinking you should have put the water as well before you placed the inside container back in the instapot cooker
+Myrna Lincoln Probably a good idea. So many people dump things in without the liner. I still don't understand. And thanks for liking my kitchen. 😉 We had just moved into this apartment when we filmed this after our trip to France where I had an amazing kitchen to cook in. Check out my Beef Bourguignon video if you haven't yet. Spoiled.
This may be a silly question, but does the pressure cooker release steam during the entire cooking process when used on "high" like a stove top pressure cooker does. I have tried to see this cooker in use on other videos, but everyone seems to just edit out the cooking part. Great video, by the way
Thanks. This is different than the Instant Pot manual. I followed the instructions for Basmati Rice (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water), and it was a wet soggy sticky mess (and I did wash 5 times and soak for 30mins). I see you use 3 plastic cups of rice then pour the water up to the 3 on the side of the pot - but AFTER the rice is in the pot. So that must be LESS than 3 cups of water?! How much water are you actually adding?
+Trish Meyer I grew up using a rice cooker so, the lines on the pot have always corresponded to how much rice was measured with the cup it came with. I assume this to be the same with the IP. I don't know for sure but when I do only 1 cup of rice, I use equal amount of water measured with the same cup I used to measure the rice. (Not dry measure and liquid measure.) Hope that helps.
I understand you had spiffy digs in Paris, that being said, many people see the kitchen you are presently in as far nicer than their own, and don't undetstand.
I have tried for years to make perfect rice: rice cooker, in a pot on the stove, etc. But not until I purchased the Instant Pot pressure cooker and followed the directions and script for Perfect Jasmine Rice have I been pleased with the results. In the Instant Pot it's perfect every time. Thanks for your video, Flo.

+Julie Green Thanks, Julie. I tossed out my slow cooker once I picked up the IP. To be honest, I never liked cooking with the slow cooker and I’ve tried all sorts of recipes. I can’t remember a single one I enjoyed. A rule with the pressure cooking is you will need liquid to create the pressure to cook but the liquid will not evaporate and will create more liquid while cooking. Hope that helps.
I love your videos but I don't have the programmable Instant Pot. It would be useful to add the directions for the 7 in 1 Duo pot as well. Thank you.
+Nancy Giorlando Thanks, Nancy! I always give instructions for the DUO at the bottom of all my IP recipes on the blog. This particular recipe is not mine. It is found in the recipe book that came with your IP and on the app. 😊
Thank you for these videos. My rice often is too sticky, I'll try it your way.
So glad you enjoy the videos. Hope this version works out for you!
Wonderful recipe video, Flo! You are so relaxed and informative. Please post more recipes.
+Bill Danzeisen Thanks so much, Bill! I appreciate that!
No it wasn't. She didn't even state cooking time. Some of us don't have or use a Dumb phone.
For those who don't have a Smart Instant Pot, would you please give settings and times for what you're making? Love your videos!
+Nancy McCormack Hi Nancy, when I am using my own recipes, I always give instructions to those without the Smart IP on my blog. However, when I am showing how to make a recipe that is not my own, I give the source. Hope that's helpful!
Flo Lum it is your show, but I think you should give the settings and time.
I can’t believe I haven’t tried to cook white rice with my 3-year-old instant pot until later this morning! I have a feeling it would taste 10x better than my $15 rice cooker🤣🤣🤣. If it works, I will be saving a couple of hundred from having to buy a Korean Cuckoo “smart” rice cooker which suppose to make the best tasting white rice ever. Keeping my fingers cross🤞
I am so glad I found your you tube page I really like this Jasmine rice recipe. Thank you so much for having a great video page.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
the rice looked great. Could you tell me how is the rice if we leave leftover to eat at the next day on the keep warm setting. TIA
+Rosmali Chiba The longer you keep it on "keep warm", it will start to crisp and stick to the bottom of the pot. As soon as it's done, make sure keep warm is off. I usually stir it around before serving. If there is rice leftover, I store it in an air tight container in the fridge. Then I usually use it for fried rice or will reheat it in microwave.
I own the Instant Pot duo since Wednesday this week. And now I found your videos (which are awesome and inspireing) and have to find out that in the USA there is a bluetooth version of this pot. Unfortunately it is not available in Germany.
Will keep on watching your videos and make some of your recipes
+Stephanie Pelkmann Great! Someone else just commented that there isn't a Bluetooth model available there yet. Hope you're enjoying the DUO!
Great video, I'm glad you enjoyed my rice technique in the Instant Pot booklet! Adding this to my channel's play list. Ciao, L
Thank you so much, Laura! Perfect every time!
Love the video. I want rice now 😝🤓 🍚
Thanks I just got my pot and this video really helped me! I think I can get rid of my rice cooker now. 😄
+cindih1956 Yes! I got rid of my rice cooker and slow cooker.
Excellent. Will try to see if this is available in India too.
+Saurabh Banerjee Hope you can find it!
It would be very informative if you could also mention what buttons you would be pushing if someone doesn't have a smart phone.
Great videos as always!! Thanks for you for the great info!!!!!
Hi Flo. Enjoyed your video, very informative. Only problem is we do not have the smart app instant pot as they are not available in uk. So we are unable to use the app to cook anything, would we just use the rice button instead to do jasmine rice?
Hi Sue, the recipe I used here is in the recipe book that came with your IP. 4 mins manual high pressure, 10 min natural release. Hope that helps!
Hi Flo, love your videos! Just purchased my instant pot and have had good success with the things I’ve cooked, mostly meat dishes. Can one successfully cook broccoli and the softer veggies with out them getting mushy? Thanks!
I don't often cook veggies in the IP as I believe it is just another tool in the kitchen. It does not eliminate other cooking techniques. Vegetables need precise cooking to get the texture you like. However, here is one time I do broccoli: th-cam.com/video/RoMI4PBn5CA/w-d-xo.html
What app are you talking about? I love the idea of the everyday receipts. The "staples" of everyday receipts. Cool idea!!
Thanks! There's an app that works with the Instant Pot Smart model called Smart Cooker.
There is also now a free app that has IP recipes/cooking times/tips for all IP models that you can get off of the app stores for apple and android. make sure you choose the red icon for this app =)
hi flo, i was very intrigued that you can use an app for your IP. that is amazing! i have had my pot for almost 3 years, but i have never used the app to control the pot. is it from IP ? thanks so much
Flo, yes, I belatedly remembered you said at the beginning it is from the IP included recipe book. And yes, that’s what mine says. Thanks for replying! Lyn
Hi Flo! I've been a fan of yours for years but have never cooked rice in my instantpot. You make it look really easy but I don't have measurements on my liner. Should I jus follow the rice bag instructions 2: parts water to 1 part rice or is it different using a pressure cooker? I'm using Kirkland enriched long grain.
So you didn't actually use 3 cups of water if you used the scale in the pot, because the rice displaced the measurement.
It is equal amounts of rice to water. If you measure 3 cups of rice with the cup that came with your pot and then measured 3 cups of water in that same cup, you will find that the water will reach the 3 cup line in the pot.
+Flo Lum ahh, witchcraft.
LOL
So, if I have a recipe that says use 3 cups water, or broth or whatever, and I fill that empty pot up to the three cup measurement mark on the pot, I'm getting more than 3 cups then? Because in your explanation above, you used an equal amount of rice to displace that equal amount of liquid. In my scenario, it's all liquid.
The marks are IF YOU USE THE PLASTIC CUP TO MEASURE. Otherwise, if you use a real measuring cup, 3 cups rice, and then a real measuring glass, 3 cups water.
Nice video. How many minutes is that manually?
Well I hope you read this. Last comment made was 2 years ago. Anyway, all I can do is try. Do you think you could make a Mexican rice recipe in the ip for me? It would be greatly appreciated. Love your recipes have tried several with good results. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing your labor of love.
I have tried SO many times to make "flavoured" rice in the IP and I almost always get a BURN message. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for checking though, Lydia!
I wa so surprised how fast I received the instant pot . Ordered it Friday night through Amazon and got it Monday evening from UPS.
Amazon is great at getting your items to you quick. Hope you're enjoying your pot!
Flo this was very helpful. Our first recipe. Can you share how to make Golden Milk?? Thanks so much!
+cindy marty Excellent! Glad it helped. I have no idea what Golden Milk is. 🤔
For brown Jasmine rice I use 2 water to 1 rice ratio for small batches in my (non-clamped top) rice cooker. Less water to rice for larger batches. Hope to get an insta-pot to experiment with idea ratio.
Thanks! Will try it.
I just bought an Instant Pot. I was conflicted between a Japanese rice cooker and the IP. But your videos convinced me to get the Smart IP. I haven't cooked anything yet. Rice is going to be my first. Would you prepare short grain rice the same way? I've read that it's good to soak the rice for and hour and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Would you do that as well?
Thanks for your help. I can't wait to try some of your recipes.
Keith
Welcome to the club, Keith! Yes, I would soak short grain rice for at least 30 mins. You can prepare it the same as long grain and simply delay the time to start cooking. Enjoy!
You are so sweet and relaxed!!! It is actually a pleasure watching your videos...
+Bruce Kersman Aw... So kind! Thank you, Bruce!
Flo Lum
you are so correct Bruce, like having a good friend cooking and education you. Wonderful.
Very cool! THANK YOU😊
+gscotty311 Glad you think so! 😊
Fantastic video.
Dreamy soundtrack!
I can't believe what an idiot I am, all I had to do was erase it! keep helping those of us that have never cooked like me!😊
+Ramon Donestevez LOL! Don't sweat it! Glad to help you get started. Did you get your pot yet?
i like to mix my white jasmine rice with quinoa, wild rice, and brown rice. Sometimes lentils too.
+Ryan Y. 👍🏼 Sounds good!
Ryan Y. How long do you cook it for if it's mixed?
Being from South Georgia....I always cooked my rice on the stovetop but typically added salt and butter to my recipe. When making rice in the insta pot should I not use salt or butter until after the rice is cooked?
I don't see why you couldn't add your salt and butter while cooking.
HI, did you try to make sushi rice? is the ratio is the same as regular rice? can i use the preset setting or should I go on manuel? thank you
+Kevin Dufresne I have made sushi rice but I made sure I soaked the rice for about 30 min but I still use 1:1 ratio and cook as I do in this video. I never use the rice setting.
Best video for this pot. Well done :)
Thanks so much, Paul!
I sometimes use a long grain rice from GOYA that has been "enriched". There is a cautionary notice on the front of the bag, "Do Not Wash". Washing depletes the nutrients in that rice. All rice is not alike.
I’ve poured water into the pot twice. The first time I had just gotten the instant pot. The second time I was in la-la land and making rice without thinking. Luckily I was able to dry out the bottom.
Love your videos!! I'd like to see some ideas for fish --non salmon, please!! 😀
Thanks, Amy! Have you checked out my bouillabaisse video? th-cam.com/video/hlHiolQ9vEs/w-d-xo.html
I love mine. Still learning how to use it.
+Katacus Great to hear! It'll get easier as you get more used to it.
How long did you cook the rice and at what setting. There is a setting for rice on mine. Do you ever use that?
I never use the rice setting. I fell in love with this method and never looked back. 4 minutes manual high pressure, 10 mins natural release.
I have the ultra, I need to order that insert with markings.
They don’t have the marking anymore?! I did notice my new 8qt didn’t have the marking either.
omg the IP Bluetooth is awesome!
+girl raven Isn't it?! Love it!
Thanks Flo enjoying your videos. I dont' have my IP yet ( I should in a couple weeks as a gift). You are on the few folks I've found who has the Smart IP which is the one i'm getting. You are happy with it?
My Smart is my go to pot. See my Smart vs DUO video to see why: th-cam.com/video/mK43nI5hmRU/w-d-xo.html
i am thinking of buying an instapot I enjoyed your video and music was relaxing I also thought your kitchen was nice. I think in the video you were talking about spillage into the outer container and that is why you removed the inside and put the rice in but I am thinking you should have put the water as well before you placed the inside container back in the instapot cooker
+Myrna Lincoln Probably a good idea. So many people dump things in without the liner. I still don't understand. And thanks for liking my kitchen. 😉 We had just moved into this apartment when we filmed this after our trip to France where I had an amazing kitchen to cook in. Check out my Beef Bourguignon video if you haven't yet. Spoiled.
This may be a silly question, but does the pressure cooker release steam during the entire cooking process when used on "high" like a stove top pressure cooker does. I have tried to see this cooker in use on other videos, but everyone seems to just edit out the cooking part. Great video, by the way
+thejimmilner It does not release and steam while cooking. And if it does, there is something not right. Hope that helps.
Wow rice made easy. Love it.
Flo - do you use the Rice button or do High or low pressure and how many minutes for 6 cups rice/water? Thanks.
Flo, do you have a video for brown rice? Is there any difference in cooking brown rice compared to white?
Sorry, I don't have a video for brown rice because we don't eat it. My understanding is that it needs double the cook time.
Thanks. This is different than the Instant Pot manual. I followed the instructions for Basmati Rice (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water), and it was a wet soggy sticky mess (and I did wash 5 times and soak for 30mins). I see you use 3 plastic cups of rice then pour the water up to the 3 on the side of the pot - but AFTER the rice is in the pot. So that must be LESS than 3 cups of water?! How much water are you actually adding?
+Trish Meyer I grew up using a rice cooker so, the lines on the pot have always corresponded to how much rice was measured with the cup it came with. I assume this to be the same with the IP. I don't know for sure but when I do only 1 cup of rice, I use equal amount of water measured with the same cup I used to measure the rice. (Not dry measure and liquid measure.) Hope that helps.
I understand you had spiffy digs in Paris, that being said, many people see the kitchen you are presently in as far nicer than their own, and don't undetstand.
