Scroll to the bottom of the page for a comprehensive guide on how to cook all kinds of rice in the Instant Pot!  In case you’re new here, let me welcome you to The Foreign Fork. I’m cooking one meal from every country in the world, which means that I eat a LOT of rice. And by a lot, I mean like…. A ton. Cooking rice on the stove is one of my least favorite things to do. It takes forever! You have to soak it and then boil it and leave it to fluff… It takes so long, and sometimes I want my meal to be ready now. I recently acquired a pressure cooker, and it has been a lifesaver so far in terms of making dinnertime easier. We have loved making creamy macaroni and cheese, chicken marsala, and this awesome pasta with palomino sauce in the Instant Pot! So then I had an idea… Why not cook my rice in my Instant Pot?

Common Mistakes when Cooking Long Grain White RiceBelow are the most common problems that people run into when cooking white rice and how to fix them:
Recipe FAQsWhat Is the Ratio of Rice to Water?When cooking long grain white rice in the Instant Pot, I use a ratio of 1:1.5. This means that for every 1 cup of rice, I add 1.5 cups of water. In fact, those are the exact measurements I normally use. If you want to double the recipe, it would be 2 cups of rice to 3 cups of water, etc. Can I Double or Triple this Recipe?Of course! The good thing is, doubling an Instant Pot recipe is easy. If you double the rice, make sure that you double the amount of water and vice versa. If you increase the amount of rice/water in your Instant Pot, make sure not to cross the No-Fill line. This could create an overflow or a disaster! However, if you increase the amount of rice in the Instant Pot, you shouldn’t need to increase your cooking time at all. No matter what, cook your rice for the same amount of time. The pressure building function may take a little longer to process with more rice/water in the pressure cooker. However, the specific cook time will stay the same. How Long Should I Cook my White Rice in the Instant Pot?There are a lot of different opinions on how long you should cook your rice. Some people say 5 minutes on high with a natural release…. I’ve found that my favorite way to cook White Rice in my Instant Pot is to cook the rice for 10 minutes on low with a quick release. If you use the Zavor LUX pressure cooker, this is the automatic setting that your pressure cooker will default to for long grain white rice. If you use the Instant Pot brand, you may have to manually set your pressure cooker to this. How Long will Long Grain White Rice Last in the Fridge?If you are storing your Long Grain White Rice in an airtight container, it should last for up to 7 days. If you put the container in the freezer, you can freeze your rice for months! It’s easy to thaw the rice and have it for a dinner later on if you’d like. You can even prep your white rice in the Instant Pot in bulk, and then separate it into frozen meal preps for an easier time later on. Can I Use the RICE Button on my Instant Pot?Yes! In fact, I do that all the time. Using the RICE function on your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker is a very easy way to cook rice, especially long grain white rice. The problem is that if you use types of rice outside of white or brown, the RICE function can’t always handle it. When you begin cooking more uncommon types of rice– like wild rice, arborio, or sushi rice, for example– the pressure cooker doesn’t have specific functions to handle each kind. Instead, you can also use the normal pressure settings to cook any type of rice. This method is more comprehensive, and includes cooking methods for all types of rice! The graph below details each type of rice and how to cook it using the manual functions instead of the pre-designated RICE function.
