Tell me the details like what makes yours perfect, why, and your cultural influence if any. I mean, rice is totally different with Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Persian food just to name a few. It is not just the spices or sauces I’m mostly interested in. These matter too. I am really interested in the grain variety and specifically how you prep, cook, and absolutely anything you do after. Don’t skip the cultural details that you might otherwise presume everyone does. Do you know why some brand or region produces better ingredients, say so. I know it seems simple and mundane but it really is not. I want to master your rice as you make it in your culture. Please tell me how.
So, how do you do rice?
Instant pot rice:
-Wash rice several times, more if you want to avoid the rice all sticking together. Drain thoroughly after each wash.
-For rice that typically uses 2 cups of water per cup of rice, like long grain rice or basmati rice, add 1 1/4 cups (1.25 cups) of water per cup of rice.
-Pressure cook for six minutes.
-Natural release for at least ten minutes, more is also okay.
-Fluff rice before serving.
This works perfectly every time for me and is just as good as the fancy rice maker I used to have. I haven’t made rice on the stove in years. Even when I was making it on the stove, it was never this good, and definitely never this consistent.
Max pressure? Mine goes from 1-6. It’s an electronic one so I assume even at its highest it’s not that high of a pressure.
Yes, max pressure. My model instant pot doesn’t have different pressure settings and it comes out great.
