Instant Pot Perfect Fluffy White Rice ~ Pressure Cooker Rice ~ Amy Learns to Cook

when I first started cooking one thing I had a lot of trouble with is cooking fluffy steamed rice when I do it on the stovetop it either comes out still chewy and hard or way overcooked and wet and soggy I started using a rice cooker and I had a lot more success with that but I got an instant pot and I have found that I can make a nice quantity of steamed rice in the instant pot it's easy its quick and it comes out absolutely fantastic so join me and let's cook some fluffy steamed rice in the instant pot [Music] you so I understand how challenging it is to make steamed rice it takes a lot of practice to get it right on the stovetop I have still not mastered it on the stovetop but I found that the instant pot just rocks some rice right I just put in some rice I don't use as much water as I do in the stovetop I set it on the rice function and it comes out really really good I tend to make two three four cups of rice because I cook it for leftovers I cook it to use during the week sometimes I cook it for freezer meals so we hardly ever cook one cup of rice you can but today we're gonna do three cups this can do a whole heap arise you could probably do six cups of rice in this bad boy we're going to do three cups today because we're going to be using it during the week for lunches and stuff and this is a great way to do it because you could make a lot of it so let's get to it the first thing we're going to do is we're gonna rinse our rice and the reason you want to rinse your rice is you want to get all that extra starch off otherwise it will be sticky we're going for a fluffy rice not a sticky rice so I'm going to put whew my three cups of rice in here this is just a strainer and what I do is I just dump it in the strainer here and then I go over to the sink and I run it under the sink run it and run it and run it until it is nice and rinsed you want to make sure you get all that starch off so let me go rinse it and I'll be right back so we have a basic garden-variety grocery store long grain rice to me this rice almost looks like medium grain the package said long grain but I'll know that's up for debate right so the longer the grain the more separate your grains will be if your grains are short and they're more starchy you will have stickier rice so this rice will come out fluffy because the grains are super-long you know it might be a little sticky but we will see right so I rinsed it and then what's great about Rin sitting is this was when I bring it over here you could just put it on your bowl and you don't drip all over the counter so let's get this into the instant pot so we got our instant pot I'll set up here a little song and we're going to go ahead and put our rice in and this recipe is kind of unique for rice it is exactly a 1 to 1 ratio rice to water so since we're doing 3 cups rice 3 cups water some people do 1 and 1/2 cups 2 cups when you're on the stovetop in the instant pot it is exactly 1 to 1 so I'm gonna give us a little salt and you can salt to taste we're gonna put in our water now don't get nervous that we're only doing one to one ratio but I've cooked it all three ways two to one one and a half to one and one to one and one to one is the winner so we're going to put our lid on our instant pot you want to make sure that your lid is on sealing now this recipe is one-to-one rice to water a little bit of salt run it on the rice setting which is a low pressure setting we're gonna run it through the setting we're gonna let it come to pressure it's going to cook when it's done we are going to naturally release it for 10 minutes exactly and then we're going to release the rest of the pressure manually so we do that just so it continues to steam take up that steam and finish cooking and drying out so right setting then spot will come on and we'll go ahead and cook it when it's done I'll let you know and then we'll do a 10 minute natural release okay so for the purpose of this recipe we are doing a basic fluffy plain rice one of the reasons you might do it is you're probably going to eat this with a dish that has a lot of flavor and you don't want the rice to bring flavor to it because the flavor is in your other recipes so if you're doing a stir-fry with a sauce if you're doing something else that you're gonna combine with the rice and you want just a plain rice but you could take the same exact procedure and flavor this rice you can put in chicken broth you can put in any kinds of seasoning if you put in cumin and chili powder you can make Spanish fries if you put in herbs de Provence you could put in pinzhi sunny Paris you can put in mrs. dash you can put in barbecue rub you can put any kind of seasoning mix you like and make a different type of rice every single time that you make it so experiment with it use beef broth use chicken broth use vegetable broth throw some seasonings in there play with this and make it your own but for right now once you get this process down of making basic fluffy right rice you can season it any way you want so practice with just plain rice first and then go for it right so the instant pot just sealed and now it's a 12 minute cycle we have 10 minutes left and when it's done we will naturally will let naturally release for 10 minutes so we have about a minute left the cooker is going to end the cycle and we will let it naturally release for 10 minutes there goes we're going to let it just sit here for 10 minutes and then we will release the rest of the pressure okay so it has now sat for 10 minutes and we are going to release the rest of the pressure let's see if there's any pressure left in here a little bit boom right no kidding oh there's our eyes on the salad rice oh right right so roni roof okay let's take this off and see what we got oh okay so this dropped and now we're free to open the lid so let's see what we have always open it away from you so you don't get a face full of steam so here's our rice and looking at well look at that nice look at how nice and fluffy that is let me tell you every single time I have done rice in the instant pot with this one-to-one ratio it looks just like this it is beautiful fluffy whew it's hot and Wow perfect so let me put a little bit in a bowl with a little bit of butter and we'll take a taste oh yeah okay so let's serve us up a little bit here yeah uh-huh mmm smells very good kind of toasty and I don't know how you guys do it but around here we do it like we did do it like that stir it up here so I get Fidel now melty melty woohoo oh my gosh it smells so good it's nice and fluffy the go dry it is it's not sticky at all I'm not sticky rice don't get me wrong sometimes I prefer it more than fluffy but I do like sticky rice but this is fluffy style today yeah look at that now let's taste it nutty flavor all the grains are separate the grains aren't stuck together hmm nice built it even mm-hmm really good this would be great with the stir-fry this would be great alongside anything ma'am we made quite a bit so there's enough for all week mm-hmm really game thumbs up for the instant pot making rice thumbs up for the one-to-one ratio
