Instant Pot Brown Rice Recipe

An easy perfect brown rice that takes less than 30 minutes to make.

Before I purchased the instant pot making Rice was a chore and it took too much time to make. Now I can come home from a long day and have brown rice ready in 20 minutes. And it comes out perfect each time.

If you prefer white rice which takes 3 minutes in the instant pot, then here is my White Rice Instant Pot Recipe.

Pairs nicely with Butter Garlic Shrimp, with some beans for Rice Burrito Wraps, or on its own as a side dish with a little Tamari (Gluten Free Low Sodium Soy Sauce) or Teriyaki Sauce (low sodium)

Left overs tend to dry out and make the rice hard. To avoid this, I recommend you let it cool first, then place the rice in a zip lock bag and press all of the air out of the bag as you close it.

This makes an easy grab and go lunch for the next day. Simply add a half a can of strained any kind of beans, green peas, chickpeas or protein of choice.

Perfect Instant Pot Brown Rice

Faster than boiling water method. 1 cup of rinsed rice, 1 cup water then add both to instant pot, turn on for 15 minutes. Done in less than 30 minutes!

  • 1 cup Brown Jasmine or Basmati Rice
  • 1 cup Cold Filtered Water (must be cold)

  1. Rinse the Rice in a fine strainer under cool water until water runs clear. Use your fingers to move the rice around. Remove from the running water and shake out most of the remaining water. Then add the rice to the instant pot.

  2. Add Water to Instant Pot making sure all the rice is under the water.

  3. Close lid and turn clock wise to lock. Set the Venting knob to "VENTING" position.

  4. Press "MANUAL", and plus or minus button to read 15 minutes or press the rice button. The instant pot will begin to start to pressurize which takes approximately 10 minutes.

  5. Once the timer goes off, wait until the silver pressure dial drops (approx LO:15 on the screen). Put on an oven glove to manually release the steam. Once the steam has been released and the silver pressure dial drops, then slowly open the lid and put aside. Take care of the hot steam.

  6. Use a fork to fluff up the rice. Rice is already to serve!
