I disagree slightly. As adorable as she is, and as enjoyable as she is to listen to, this video could've been only 6 minutes instead of 12+. Literally the _only_ difference between all the types of rice covered here was length of cooking time. Everything else was complete repetition. However, that may not be a bad thing, because repetition is the best way to learn anything. So she's forgiven. 😁
So 30 min plus 20 to release pressure plus about 8 minutes for the instant pot to come to pressure dang about an hour for cocking rice. ugh 😂thank you for your tips I guess I’m inpatient 😅
The best explanation for cooking different types of rice on the planet. I sauté my onion, garlic, turmeric, sea salt, black pepper with chicken broth and put every in the instant pot based on her method for more nutrient properties .
totally agree, Believe it or not these are the best teachers who give you a relatable explanation for something and it immediately registers! Like fractions and the cutting-a-pie explanation!
Thanks from a 68 year old bachelor who just bought an Instant Pot Pro Crisp - don't know a thing. This video sooo helpful, just the facts in a fun way. Looked at other rice videos, never explained rice cooking nor the cooking times for all the different types of rice I love! Thks. This is bookmarked! Well done, thank you!!
Hi, I haven’t purchased my pot yet but I really want it for the multi grain cooking as well as rice porridge and the pressure cooker. Does no one use the preset rice settings?? Do they just not produce a satisfactory result??
I like to turn on Saute and put a little oil or butter into and toast the rice a little before I add the water and pressure cook. It adds an extra depth of flavor that is so delicious. Thanks for the informative video! :)
I've never heard of this before! How long do you sauté the rice for? I mean, does it change color, like "toast" it, like you said? I'll have to try this in the instant pot!
@@nicot9305 I just turn it on Sauté - More, and when it's hot add a little oil and butter to the bottom. Then throw in my rice (even freshly rinsed, just takes a little longer) and saute it. It's best to do it with brown rice but it can be done with white. You'll start to smell a nutty fragrance after about 5-6 minutes and the golden color on the brown rice will deepen a little. Brown Basmati is a really tasty one to do this with, as it just intensifies the nutty flavor even more. Brown jasmine turns out super tasty as well.
I do the same thing! But I learned it from Brazilians. They saute garlic and onion in oil first, then toast the uncooked rice before adding water. It makes the rice next level good. 🇧🇷
What I like to do is put the rack in the instant pot put water to the top of the rack put my rice and water one to one ratio in a Pyrex bowl in the instant pot and cook. Works beautiful and your instant pot isn’t hardly dirty at all. Thanks for your thorough video
Your communication style and intelligent approach has my mind blown 🤯 I’ve been watching videos for years re. cooking and NO ONE has mentioned this until now. Thank You so much! Clever lady 💐 Please do a video on cooking beans and lentils in instapot please? 😊
I'm so happy to read you found the video useful. YAY!!! I don't have a video on beans but I do have a whole blog post about it :) Here you go: greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-beans/
I love the fact that you put in the exact times of where to find the rice you want to cook! I have come to your site so many times! I saute garlic, onion and mushrooms (I love the release of the toasted mushrooms) and then add my rice and water with bouillion. It smells amazing while cooking and instant stand alone dish or a side dish to a main entree.
I just came across this recently and its been immensely helpful! I couldnt figure out why my rice was so mushy. I also followed another commenters suggestion about sauteing the rice beforehand with butter and now I have perfect fluffy rice everytime.
Great information, this was the one thing I wasn't sure I could do is cook one cup of rice in a 6 qt instant pot because it needs the larger capacity for things like a whole chicken or brisket. Now I realize it has the flexibility to cook smaller volumes of food especially rice. I also recommend adding a tbsp of melted butter or oil and pre-washing the rice until clear eliminating the starch that makes it sticky. You can also switch up the plain water water and salt to chicken broth.
I am applauding you...as a teacher..you are an excellent one...The Rice Growers of the World should give you an award. You have given a true gift to us rice lovers..who are freaked out by our InstaPots!
This is an amazing! Tutorial Video on All the different types of rice and its cooking times! You were absolutely correct! = Black Rice + a pinch of salt = 30 minutes later ( and I waited for the instant pot to depressurize on it’s own)🎉= Perfection 🎉 After , I Immediately transferred the rice to a different container 😊 (let’s say that I am here because I already burnt 🔥 the first cup of black rice ) Thank you kindly 😊
Without a doubt this is the best! It only took me 53 years and this 12 minute video to learn to make perfect rice. And really, only a couple minutes to fast forward to the type of rice I am using at the moment. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the 'straight to the point' style and video short cuts to the specific rice grains - very helpful. Just a tip: if you are looking to cut down on depressurizing time - turn the instant pot OFF. It helps despressurize a little bit quicker. I set my fitbit watch timer to 12 minutes. Hope that helps!
I bought a dedicated rice cooker. It turned all my efforts to risotto/sticky/mushy. I've NEVER cooked mushy rice in the pot on the stove way. So I'm really interested in the Instant Pot method for rice, because...I don't want to baby sit food. :-) My next kitchen gadget is the Instant Pot (which slightly terrifies me because pressure cookers looked dangerous before I saw this type). Thank you for this video. Much appreciated.
THANK YOU so much for this video!! I just started a rice diet to reverse diabetes, and had no idea I could make rice in my instant pot. Even my "anti -instant pot" husband thought is was good. I usually rinse my rice first, so instead of adding 1 cup I added 3/4 cup and it came out perfect. God bless!
I came here for the wild rice but this is such a good descriptive and instructional video that I watched the entire thing! This video is among the best I have seen for a focus on rice. I also appreciate how you marked each type of rice so people could just go to it without watching the whole video- very slick! I tried wild rice with a different method and was happy with it but will try this since the ratio is easy to remember, It's........let's see....... One part water aaaaaaand. SUBBED!
Hello! I've been trying to motivate myself to use my Instant Pot and cook rice. This morning around 4:00 AM in Pennsylvania, I decided to go for the gold. I started with my Goya black beans with onion and some spices. While the beans were cooking, the only rice I found was a two lbs bag of brown rice. I checked to make sure how much time to set my instant pot, 22 minutes, and a natural release of 11+ minutes. I opened a can of corn, and I feasted like a king, delicious. The last time I ate this good was when my mother cooked for me, 24 years ago. Again, thank you!!!
Great information. I must say, in my experience red rice needs 2 measures of water for every 1 measure of rice and one hour of cooking on high pressure, I tried cooking it exactly the way it's explained in this video but had no luck. I understand red rice must be a bit sticky and chewer than most rice varieties. After cooking it for one hour the rice acquires a similar texture to that of sushi rice but in my opinion better. 😉
I link to your recipe instructional anytime anyone asks about rice cooking in the Instant Pot. I didn’t see the video before now but that link has been added to my saved recipe instructional. Excellent job! I’m now subscribed! ❤
Many thanks for the video, i have just tried this method, on long grain rice, it worked surprisingly well, but caught very slightly on the bottom of the pot But i did forget to wash the rice beforehand, and not get the sealing correct for a couple of minutes But many thanks for the effort making the video 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much for this video! Your explanation, and instruction is exactly what I was looking for. I have tried multiple times to cook white rice in my Instant Pot, spending excessive time rinsing the rice (because all the instructions online say to rinse). I followed your directions today (without rinsing) and for the first time, produced perfect results. THANK YOU!
Most rice brands in North America and Europe have already been washed so no need to rinse but the method works even with rinsed rise if you ever want to rinse it :)
@@omaha88888 because the pot simply needs triple the time to "get to pressure" so it automatically takes longer before the pressure cooking time starts. That's why you don't have to add any extra time yourself. The more volume is in the post, the longer it takes to get to pressure and to depressurize. Which is why natural pressure release is so important.
This is by far the best and most informative video on instant pot rice cooking. Thank you so much. And you have conquered the language as well, I cannot tell that English is not your first language.
Thank you very much!!! Love the way you explain things 💕 Here’s my question: You mentioned basmati white rice, but what about “regular” white rice? The regular kind we use in Mexico is thicker than basmati rice. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you , I appreciate your attention to detail. Do I turn the Instant Pot off immediately to stop the warming while waiting for a natural release? Captain Kent (ATP USMC)
I have also cooked black rice. Perfection! I don't know how you arrived at this method of cooking different varieties of rice - amazing!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I printed out the table and it is mentioned 28 minutes for the wild rice blend and 30 minutes for the wild rice. What I heard from you was 30 minutes for the wild rice blend and 28 minutes for wild rice. Thanks
Always trust my written recipes. I have to recite all my instructions by heart when I make videos because I want to look into the camera and talk to you and not read from a piece of paper. I mess up a lot in my videos. Ugh. Sorry.
I really appreciate the thoroughness of your presentation. I've had hit and miss results with my past "few" rice cooking attempts, and thrilled to have found your video. This is brilliant. I was looking for very specific way to make black rice, and this video is so much more. Thank you sooooo much.
Green Healthy Cooking black rice/forbidden rice is probably my favorite of all rices! It is SO yummy! Glutinous rice is great too. But that's for Thai rice pudding (a different kind of black rice).
Awesome video. The rice I've always made always came out overcooked and mushy. That was using the instant pot pre-set setting for Rice. However your method has now allowed me to master perfect long grain rice that is no longer mushy. Thanks! Your 1:1 ratio and 3 minute time is perfect. I used to use 2:1 ratio and 10 minutes on the cooking setting, and it just never came out.
So it's one cup rice, one cup, water, and a ;inch of salt, right? LOL. Just kidding. Good video. The information in the beginning was something you rarely see mentioned. Appreciate the time information using the Instant Pot.
Perfect and takes advantage of the consistency the IP offers...using full natural release makes it all so simple, feel free to tweak the pressure cook times a tiny bit if you must, but this is an excellent guide. 🙂
Good advice. Thank you. I finally got my brown rice to come out good enough so that I can serve it to my family. I’ve been getting the ratio wrong all this time. However you didn’t mention rinsing the rice. Wouldn’t that affect the rice? BTW, I rinsed my rice first.
I mention it in the blog post, forgot to mention it in the video. Sorry :) It makes no difference though. As long as you drain the rice well, the recipe works with both dry and rinsed rice. I personally never rinse my rice.
I have heard from reliable sources on both sides of the great Rice Rinsing Debate. This short video seems to explain that rinsing is not "necessary" but will affect how sticky your cooked rice comes out. th-cam.com/video/gsENVMHH3KQ/w-d-xo.html
This is the best how-to-cook rice vid out there. It’s my go-to every time I cook rice. My rice turns out perfect every time. Thank you especially for the time stamps!
Oh noooo :( I'm so sorry to read that. That recipe has given me grey hair. It is the recipe with the most 5-star and 1-star reviews. There is no in-between. Either people are successful and love it or it simply doesn't turn out and they get the burn warning. I've even contacted Instant Pot and asked them to review my recipe and help me figure out why some people were having trouble and they didn't figure it out either. It makes me so sad :( It's one of my favorite recipes and always turns out great for me.
@@Greenhealthycooking well the ninja foodi has a hi and low setting for the pressure part of it. I didnt know which one to choose so I chose hi. Perhaps I will try it again on the low setting and see how it turns out.🙂
@@knittingnana2939 I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the Ninja at all :S In the Instant Pot I definitely use only the "high" pressure setting for everything.
Absolutely great video--I agree with everyone's comments about your efficiency and clarity. I lived in SE Asia for some years. We always, always, always washed the rice. Just rinse til the water is clear and be sure you pour off all the water before you add the cooking water. The rice 'dust' gives a 'dusty' taste, in my opinion. Takes less than 30 seconds to add this step in.
I address this in the blog post. Most rice sold in North America is commercially washed before being packaged. The good thing is that my cooking method works with both washed and dry rice.
Felt compelled to leave a comment. What a fabulous, informative, complete and helpful video. Covered all possible questions in one shot. Well done. Thank you so much. 👏🏼👍🏼😊❤️
Love your video cause you go thru all of the different types of rice and the exact temps and what's truly wonderful you give the exact point of the video to go where you need to go to watch the type of rice you want to cook! Love it, a truly BIG fan!
¡Mi héroe! Hello, Lorena! Today, I accidently found my birthday present while I was searching for something else in our garage (DH had taken it out of the box and I could see its shiny exterior). I found a pressure cooker with a brain. It had a manual, but no cookbook. Onto TH-cam I went. There you were and your perfectly staged bowls of different rice. And there you were and your excellent explanation about rice cooking in one of these gadgets. Your explanation made so much sense: it's not the amount of water; it's all about the evaporation! I love the way you organized your video - you should advise others. I wanted to know how to cook rice. I had thought I had to take a guess as to the amount of water for my short grain brown rice. You went above and beyond to reveal recipes for cooking a variety of rices. And thanks for time-marking where I would find what I needed. I agree with Jonathan Cineus: you should win an award for your expert organization and presentation. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. My family loves how the rices comes out. When I use to cook it on the stove top, I would make 1 1/2 cups and they wouldn’t eat it all. Now I have to make 3 cups. They love it!
Thank you very much for all the information. I've been rather leary about cooking rice in my IPs since I use a regular rice cooker regularly. Your cooking time chart has enabled me to cross over and do some of my rice dishes in IP!
Excellent! Just what I needed except for one type of rice: Uncle Ben’s CONVERTEd rice (in other words, rice that has been parboiled. Thank you again for such clear instructions.
Thanks for a wonderful video. Straight to the point, very clear, nothing left to the imagination, no time wasted in bla, bla, bla. My congratulations and I have subscribed.
@@Greenhealthycooking As a long time rice cooker user, I've had varying results with brown rice. Sometimes too wet & often dry. But I don't know how to return to the rice cooker after trying your method. Granted, my family's preference is to have drier, less glutinous rice so I will try washing my rice 1-2 times before cooking. Have you had any experience with washing rice before cooking in the IP?
@@BRANDOAN My method works with both, dry or rinsed rice. If it's too hard for your liking add more high-pressure cooking time. You cannot get the pot back to pressure once you opened it. You will get the burn warning. My brown rice always comes out perfect after 22 minutes so I've never had that problem but if you have that problem consistently, try 25 minutes instead of 22. That should do the trick.
Hello Lorena, I'm so happy to have found out about your channel last week. I just bought my IP a month ago and still learning how to use it and looking for recipes. I tried cooking white rice last week following your method and it was perfect. But my husband doesn't like the rice hard, so i made it again today and make the time 5 minutes and it was the softness that the husband likes. I also made your cabbage soup and it turned out sooo delicious. I have been watching your videos and reading your blog since last week and printing some recipes. Thank you so much
Julai, I'm so sorry, I just now saw your message. How wonderful that you found your perfect timing and you are enjoying the recipes :) Thanks for coming back and letting me know. I appreciate it :)

Couldn’t agree more Jonathan Cineus, brilliant explanations of everything.
Thanks so much for your sharing 💖
I disagree slightly. As adorable as she is, and as enjoyable as she is to listen to, this video could've been only 6 minutes instead of 12+. Literally the _only_ difference between all the types of rice covered here was length of cooking time. Everything else was complete repetition. However, that may not be a bad thing, because repetition is the best way to learn anything. So she's forgiven. 😁

The earmark of a great teacher is repetition and clarity. Thank you for a clear and informative guide.
I'm so happy to read you found my video useful :)
Of all the videos I've watched, they all focused on water to rice ratio and never mentioned the difference a pot makes. Thanks!!
jillhbaudhaan I missed this bit, what difference does a pot make?
Gurmukh Panesar in the beginning she talks about the size of pots and the lids.
Even the instructions that came with my pressure cooker state a 1:1 1/4 ratio, the 1:1 ratio is so much better.
totally agree, Believe it or not these are the best teachers who give you a relatable explanation for something and it immediately registers! Like fractions and the cutting-a-pie explanation!

This has to be one of the best teaching videos ever.! Rice is basic to food serving.
Rice also contains protein and I'm guessing why Asians are so skinny, no processed food either.

You mentioned basmati white rice, but what about “regular” white rice? The regular kind we use in Mexico is thicker than basmati rice.

If it is thicker it might take 1 more minute on high pressure. Try 4 minutes on high pressure + full natural pressure release.

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you , I appreciate your attention to detail. Do I turn the Instant Pot off immediately to stop the warming while waiting for a natural release? Captain Kent (ATP USMC)
kentatp ahí Captain Lent, no you leave the warm function on during natural pressure release :)
I have also cooked black rice. Perfection! I don't know how you arrived at this method of cooking different varieties of rice - amazing!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you :) I just started testing and testing and testing some more. We ate rice breakfast, lunch, and dinner for MONTHS, hahahaha
@@Greenhealthycooking Well done!
thanks anxious to try this Very informative simple but percise . Thanks
Best video on Instant Pot ever! The time is key, you are awesome 👏
Thank you! I've been adding too much water, too much time etc etc... You are most appreciated
Best video ever on how to cook rice in an instant pot!
Yay! Thank you!
Excellent instructional.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I printed out the table and it is mentioned 28 minutes for the wild rice blend and 30 minutes for the wild rice. What I heard from you was 30 minutes for the wild rice blend and 28 minutes for wild rice. Thanks
Always trust my written recipes. I have to recite all my instructions by heart when I make videos because I want to look into the camera and talk to you and not read from a piece of paper. I mess up a lot in my videos. Ugh. Sorry.
Extrordinarely clear!
I really appreciate the thoroughness of your presentation. I've had hit and miss results with my past "few" rice cooking attempts, and thrilled to have found your video. This is brilliant. I was looking for very specific way to make black rice, and this video is so much more. Thank you sooooo much.
I'm so happy to read you found it useful :D
Love the finger wag! Thanks for these tips! Now I will try unusual types of rice!
Yes! The black rice was new to me, too. Super yummy!
Green Healthy Cooking black rice/forbidden rice is probably my favorite of all rices! It is SO yummy!
Glutinous rice is great too. But that's for Thai rice pudding (a different kind of black rice).
Awesome video. The rice I've always made always came out overcooked and mushy. That was using the instant pot pre-set setting for Rice. However your method has now allowed me to master perfect long grain rice that is no longer mushy. Thanks! Your 1:1 ratio and 3 minute time is perfect. I used to use 2:1 ratio and 10 minutes on the cooking setting, and it just never came out.
Yay!!! I'm so happy my method worked for you :D
So it's one cup rice, one cup, water, and a ;inch of salt, right? LOL. Just kidding. Good video. The information in the beginning was something you rarely see mentioned. Appreciate the time information using the Instant Pot.
lol, I'm happy to repeat it again :P
@@Greenhealthycooking lmao
La meilleure vidéo pour l'instant, c'est clair, net, précis, et très bien détaillée, sans truc superflu, efficacité absolu.
I've got it: one cup of rice, one cup of water, ... Repetition is the key!
Perfect and takes advantage of the consistency the IP offers...using full natural release makes it all so simple, feel free to tweak the pressure cook times a tiny bit if you must, but this is an excellent guide. 🙂
I'm sensing a theme.
amsterling1 lol, my 9 yr old and I were repeating the whole after your rice is cooked schpiel 😆 by the 3rd round
Absolutely the BEST IP rice!!! This should be included with the IP recipe book. Thank you!!!
Good advice. Thank you. I finally got my brown rice to come out good enough so that I can serve it to my family. I’ve been getting the ratio wrong all this time. However you didn’t mention rinsing the rice. Wouldn’t that affect the rice? BTW, I rinsed my rice first.
I mention it in the blog post, forgot to mention it in the video. Sorry :) It makes no difference though. As long as you drain the rice well, the recipe works with both dry and rinsed rice. I personally never rinse my rice.
I have heard from reliable sources on both sides of the great Rice Rinsing Debate.
This short video seems to explain that rinsing is not "necessary" but will affect how sticky your cooked rice comes out.

@@guycoburn1633 which method do you use rinse or not rinsed
This is the best how-to-cook rice vid out there. It’s my go-to every time I cook rice. My rice turns out perfect every time.
Thank you especially for the time stamps!
I’m so happy to read you find it useful :)
I have a ninja foodi (instant pot on steriods) and i tried a chicken and rice recipe and the rice was a horrible, gloppy mess.
Oh noooo :( I'm so sorry to read that. That recipe has given me grey hair. It is the recipe with the most 5-star and 1-star reviews. There is no in-between. Either people are successful and love it or it simply doesn't turn out and they get the burn warning. I've even contacted Instant Pot and asked them to review my recipe and help me figure out why some people were having trouble and they didn't figure it out either. It makes me so sad :( It's one of my favorite recipes and always turns out great for me.
@@Greenhealthycooking well the ninja foodi has a hi and low setting for the pressure part of it. I didnt know which one to choose so I chose hi. Perhaps I will try it again on the low setting and see how it turns out.🙂
@@knittingnana2939 I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the Ninja at all :S In the Instant Pot I definitely use only the "high" pressure setting for everything.
Absolutely great video--I agree with everyone's comments about your efficiency and clarity. I lived in SE Asia for some years. We always, always, always washed the rice. Just rinse til the water is clear and be sure you pour off all the water before you add the cooking water. The rice 'dust' gives a 'dusty' taste, in my opinion. Takes less than 30 seconds to add this step in.
I address this in the blog post. Most rice sold in North America is commercially washed before being packaged. The good thing is that my cooking method works with both washed and dry rice.
IF YOU WANT THE RICE ASIAN STYLE DO NOT USE SALT.
So perfect instructions down to the T, no BS, I got what I wanted in a matter of few seconds. You're awesome! Keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video. I frequently come back as a reference. I appreciate that you put the exact time of the video in your notes. Thank you. Subscribed!!
Thank you for subscribing :)
Thank you so much. My Instantpot did not come with a recipe book so this is great! I look forward to lots more recipes. So easy to understand.
Felt compelled to leave a comment. What a fabulous, informative, complete and helpful video. Covered all possible questions in one shot. Well done. Thank you so much. 👏🏼👍🏼😊❤️
thank you :)
Love your video cause you go thru all of the different types of rice and the exact temps and what's truly wonderful you give the exact point of the video to go where you need to go to watch the type of rice you want to cook! Love it, a truly BIG fan!
I'm so happy to read you found the video useful :)
¡Mi héroe! Hello, Lorena! Today, I accidently found my birthday present while I was searching for something else in our garage (DH had taken it out of the box and I could see its shiny exterior). I found a pressure cooker with a brain. It had a manual, but no cookbook. Onto TH-cam I went. There you were and your perfectly staged bowls of different rice. And there you were and your excellent explanation about rice cooking in one of these gadgets. Your explanation made so much sense: it's not the amount of water; it's all about the evaporation! I love the way you organized your video - you should advise others. I wanted to know how to cook rice. I had thought I had to take a guess as to the amount of water for my short grain brown rice. You went above and beyond to reveal recipes for cooking a variety of rices. And thanks for time-marking where I would find what I needed. I agree with Jonathan Cineus: you should win an award for your expert organization and presentation. Thanks so much!
Thank you so so much for your wonderful words Beverly! I am so happy to read you found the video useful. Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you for this video. My family loves how the rices comes out. When I use to cook it on the stove top, I would make 1 1/2 cups and they wouldn’t eat it all. Now I have to make 3 cups. They love it!
YAY!!!!
Is it the same time if I want to cook 3-4 cups of rice than if I want to cook only one?
I don't normally comment but beautiful job The BEST VIDEO I've Ever watch on instant pot rice
thank you :)
You are brilliant, in a foreign language. Wow. I'm 56, thinking for the first time about evaporation. Great video.
The best rice video on utube.
thank you 🥰
This video just made me subscribe to your channel sight unseen, without having seen any other content on your channel. Superb!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you very much for all the information. I've been rather leary about cooking rice in my IPs since I use a regular rice cooker regularly. Your cooking time chart has enabled me to cross over and do some of my rice dishes in IP!
I love this instruction style. People that can communicate patiently and clearly is huge in my books. Subscribed!
I'm so happy to read you found it useful :)
Thanks for the information. As a new I pot owner it's what I needed to know. Love your accent!
thank you :)
Such an excellent reference with good detail and practical tips. Thanks so much.
You are a fantastic teacher! You hit all of the important details and filled in the gaps I was looking for. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Best rice video on TH-cam.
Glad you think so!
Best rice video out there!
Thank you so much!
Awesome video. The repetition on how to cook the types of rice is a great learning technique. I got it at the end of your video. .
You have Mastered the Instapot rice methods. Thank you so much for sharing, the best rice I have ever made.😊
My pleasure 😊
I have watched so many and this...THIS.IS.THE.BEST.VIDEO!!!
Excellent! Just what I needed except for one type of rice: Uncle Ben’s CONVERTEd rice (in other words, rice that has been parboiled. Thank you again for such clear instructions.
Thanks for a wonderful video.
Straight to the point, very clear, nothing left to the imagination, no time wasted in bla, bla, bla. My congratulations and I have subscribed.
First time IP user here. Thank you for the clear instructions. The clean video editing is a plus. Thank you for that.
You are very welcome. I'm so happy to read you found the video helpful 😃
@@Greenhealthycooking As a long time rice cooker user, I've had varying results with brown rice. Sometimes too wet & often dry. But I don't know how to return to the rice cooker after trying your method. Granted, my family's preference is to have drier, less glutinous rice so I will try washing my rice 1-2 times before cooking.
Have you had any experience with washing rice before cooking in the IP?
@@BRANDOAN My method works with both, dry or rinsed rice. If it's too hard for your liking add more high-pressure cooking time. You cannot get the pot back to pressure once you opened it. You will get the burn warning. My brown rice always comes out perfect after 22 minutes so I've never had that problem but if you have that problem consistently, try 25 minutes instead of 22. That should do the trick.
What a well organized video and information. Very helpful and easy to watch and understand with no waste time! Thanks!
so happy😀 I found your video ! I received a instant pot as a gift and recently starting using it - you have been so helpful
Hello Lorena, I'm so happy to have found out about your channel last week. I just bought my IP a month ago and still learning how to use it and looking for recipes. I tried cooking white rice last week following your method and it was perfect. But my husband doesn't like the rice hard, so i made it again today and make the time 5 minutes and it was the softness that the husband likes. I also made your cabbage soup and it turned out sooo delicious. I have been watching your videos and reading your blog since last week and printing some recipes. Thank you so much
Julai, I'm so sorry, I just now saw your message. How wonderful that you found your perfect timing and you are enjoying the recipes :) Thanks for coming back and letting me know. I appreciate it :)
