Method… RICE SETTING. This is Basmati. Well rinsed and well drained. 1 Tbsp oil swished with the rinsed rice. Ratio was 1 c rice to 1 1/8 c water. Rice setting. 12 min (low pressure) 10 min NPR. The result is a smoother even tender bite. If you have time, you may like this method.

NOTE: Video above.. You can also cook your rice in a separate PIP pot for the same amount of time that you cook your beans or pot roast IF you subtract 2 TBSP liquid per c of well rinsed and very well drained Rice!
Rice, made in the IP is different than stove top or rice cooker rice. You will use a 1:1 ratio rice to clear liquids + or – depending on your personal taste, but start with 1:1. Also you may be adjusting plus or minus, 1 Tbsp per cup. Once you have made it once, you will know if you want more or less liquid next time. You will learn as you go.
Rice that has just a tad too “little” liquid is an ez fix. ….You can add more and shut the lid while the rice is on keep warm because it keeps absorbing liquid as time goes on. You may want to even turn the pot OFF so that it keeps from sticking as time goes on.
Too much water is a harder fix . (You will end up with gooey sticky rice).

Rice in the Instant Pot is usually a 1:1 ratio of clear liquids and Rice. You can use:
White or Brown Basmati
White or brown Jasmin
Calrose (Sometimes called Friendly, Family or even used for Sticky Rice) for Sweet Rice use 1-2 Tbsp less water per cup of water)
Regular white
Long grain brown (add 2 min more time. ..also If you like it A little wetter, add 1-2 Tbsp extra water)
Green Infused
Mixed
Sushi
Calasparra
Black Japonica
Directions
Put the Rice In a fine mesh colander. your going to use 1:1 ratio of Rice to Liquid after (or use broth in place of water after you rinse it).. rinse it well, until the water runs clear… then drain well and shake it out. If your making the rice directly in the Pot then add it and the 1:1 Ratio of Liquid to the pot.
Set the time for 3 min and allow 10-15 min NPR. Turn pot off to prevent sticking or at least keep warm low.
For Pot in Pot or PIP Rice (seen in pics).
Pour 1 cup water in inner pot. More or less once you have made it. Adjust for next time, for your preference. Add the trivet.i
I use a STAINLESS STEEL (important) mixing bowl with sides not too high.
Put the rice and its liquid in a stainless bowl.
Put the bowl on the trivet, then the lid on and vent to sealing.
Set manual or Pressure cook for 3 minutes, and give it 10-15 min of NPR at least 10.(Natural Pressure Release). Then you will QR (quick release) any remaining pressure. Fluff the Rice and return the lid until your ready to eat. It should be on stay warm and will keep warm for hours. Keep warm is an automatic feature and is easily turned off if you desire.
*For Brown Calrose rice, Red Rice, or Multi grain Rice Medley including Brown, Wild, regular white and grains …. Manual 8 min…15 min NPR, Or 4 min with full NPR plus a few, depending on when you need it. See pic.
Note* I would not use the rice button and PIP with BROWN rice in the newer models. they actually cook differently than the older ones.
For normal Brown Rice cooked in the inner pot … cook at Hi pressure for 8 min and 10 min NPR.. or Rice setting and 10-15 min NPR . See pic.
Directions for direct IN POT RICE:
Remember the 1:1 Ratio of Rice to Clear Liquids.
Add your wellll rinsed and welllll drained Rice to the inner pot. If using the RICE BUTTON Press the Rice Button.
For using the Manual or Pressure cook button. Press your Pots button for Pressure cooking and set your time for 3-4 min. Allow for 10-15 min NPR.
Note*** With the Newer Pots I would NOT do PIP Brown Rice using the Rice button. Use the MAIN Pressure cook cycle on Hi
If using RICE BUTTON: The Rice button is 12 min at Low Pressure Only.
For SAUTEED RICE:
There is More than one way to do this?
Do not rinse the Rice for this method.
Sauté your choice of Rice in the butter, oil or ghee until it starts to pop and starts to become chalky looking, careful not to burn.
Using this method, you must deglaze the pot with your liquid and carefully scrape off any, and all brown from the bottom.
Add your liquid and press Manual or Pressure Cook and adjust the time to 4 minutes manual. When the pot beeps, leave it in the pot for 15-20 min to NPR.
Another method to doing Regular Rices with the Sauté, is after Sautéing, just press the Rice button and QR …this takes about 20 min.

I did Par Boiled medium grain Rice experiment today. 3/4 c rice to 3/4 water. thrown in the pot directly. I just set the rice button. It turned out fine, a lil wet, and sticky at first, but that went away as it set. See pic.
