How to make Long Grain White Rice in your Instant Pot

Hey guys! I'm Lisa Childs, welcome back! In this new video, I'll be sharing with you how to make perfectly cooked white rice in the Instant Pot (I'm using long grain white rice). White rice in the Instant Pot is super easy and quick- all you need is rice, water, and salt if you prefer.

1 cup of rice to 1 and 1/4 cup of water.

Put lid on, knob turned to sealing, cook for 3 minutes on high pressure, with 10 minutes natural release.

❤ Great video! ❤

I tripled the recipe and used jasmine rice. Same ratio and same time as she suggested and it came out perfect! Just in case anyone is curious :)

I know this is an old video but I've made white rice in the IP a few times and it always sticks to the bottom! Wasting a full cup of rice. I did it this way and it came out perfect! Perfect texture and no burning on the bottom of the pot! Thank you so much!

I recently purchased an Instant Pot. I followed the recipe (using 2 cups and the same ratio) and the same 3 minutes cooking time followed by 10 minutes depressurizing, and it turned out fantastic. I definitively will try more of your recipes for the Instant Pot. Keep up the great work!

This is PERFECT rice!! I did what she suggested. I don’t want a “bite” to my rice. I added the extra qtr cup water and cooked for 5 mins. Same pressure release. PERFECT rice.. Thank you so much for sharing your perfect IP rice recipe 😋 You have been my go to for necessary IP utensils, delicious yogurt, yummy lava cake, creamy Mac n cheese and now RICE!!

So happy!! I just cooked this, (2) 1 and 1\4 cups of water and 2 cups of rice unrinsed Mahatma extra long grain rice 3 minutes and full natural pressure and it came out perfect! I was making meal prep for 2 people 8 meal packs and realized 2 cups is too little of rice for all 8 meal packs so will triple or quadruple next time. I was so scared but for no reason. Thanks a million!!!!

Wonderful Video! Just got my first Insta-Pot at age 54 in 2024. I have been going to "Get around" to learning to cook one day but it is finally time and I think using the Insta-pot is less daunting. You did such a great job explaining with a bunch of great tips like putting water on the scoop spoon. Thanks for making this video it helped a ton! ❤🤘

Tried ur suggestion of cooking white rice on one of ur videos. I followed ur instructions to instant pot cook regular grocery store white rice for 3 min. It turned out crunchy! I live 6300 ft up. Perhaps u need to warn those of us who live high up what to expect if anything. Next time I will cook it for 4 minutes. That nite our meal was a lil bit crunchy. However, I’ve learned a lot by watching ur show & all ur other IP recipes I tried turned out fine. Kudos to u teaching me how to IP cook spaghetti squash! Thank you❤

I love rice but have never been able to get it perfect. This is an absolute life saver! I get perfect rice every time, thank you so much

Great recipe! My mother would probably beat me if I didn't rinse my rice first. We usually wash our rice and then measure with our index finger, but this method makes the rice too watery in an instant pot. Your method was perfect.

Victory - I followed her instructions to make Mexican
Sauté the rice with avocado oil till golden. Turn off the IP. Then add 1.125 one cup of water or chicken broth add .250 of tomato sauce plus 2 tbsp of water. Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder to taste. Don’t ask me how much, as a Mexican you want to make sure you taste your flavors of spices plus salt to taste. No need to add extra oil as you just sauté with oil. I added a bit of cayenne pepper, because that’s just how I like my kick and a pinch of smoked paprika. No need to add this, only if you want to go to the wild side. Then mix all together in the IP. Plug your IP set to rice 12 min. Let depressurize min for 10 min or more. Set to vent and release all steam. Wala- Authentic Mexican rice. I appreciate her ratios though and added the extra tbsp because she said that when you have oil, it can be not done.

Their you go Mexican family approved. My son loved it. So did I and that says a lot for a Mexican that only cares to cook Mexican food at home because the recipes are authentic at home. This actually came out better than my regular in a pot.

Enjoy and God bless you all who try it.

Reminder I have a IP Duo Plus and did not know how to set for 3 min, so I pressed rice (12) min and it worked.

Praise the Lord🙏🏻

To avoid being, "super sad" make sure you set it to sealing. Dig it.

Just did this with brown rice on a different model 6qt instapot. Used 3 cups of rice and 3.5 cups of water. Perfect, thank you 👌

As a first-time IP user, I'm so glad you made this video! (I'm trying to start simple.) I hope someday you'll post tutorials for the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer. It doesn't come with recipes and it doesn't have the preset buttons (like rice and yogurt), so I'm having trouble finding instructions that I can translate. And frankly, the whole thing is a little overwhelming. 😬 Your videos are thorough, concise and very helpful. Thanks!

(Specific to Long Grain Rice)
Rice proportions: 1 cup of water to 1 cup and a quarter of water

Knob in IP is turned to sealing, cook for 3 mins on high pressure, natural release for 10 mins, open up the IP lid after manually venting

So I just made it your way, I made a 4 cup rice using your ratio and it turned out perfect. My InstaPot doesn't do L10, so I just used a timer, then released the pressure, tasted it. Fantastic.
Can not thank you enough.

[cybermiss]

the reason I searched for this video because i cooked twice the jasmine rice in my new duo plus instant pot. Both times came out burned badly rice on the bottom, but on the top were soaked with water. Both times used the rice function automatically low pressure! I will try your instruction of high pressure 3 minutes next time.
I have a Power XL 8 cups for long time and still happy with its cooking different dishes.

[Alejandro-zibq]

I found your video and it was perfect. I did 3 cups of rice, 3.75 cups of water for 3 min and took it out at L10. It came out Perfect and fluffy.

Just found your channel and made white rice for the first time and you have saved my marriage 😁. Amazing thank you

Just bought a pressure cooker. Thank you for showing not just the recipe but what to expect with the pressure cooker!
