How to make Long Grain Brown Rice in your Instant Pot

long grain brown rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa adds protein and fiber, while white rice is often less expensive.

Make sure you have long grain brown rice; medium or short grain takes longer to cook.

Add 1 cup of long grain brown rice to the Instant Pot.

Optionally rinse the rice, but the package advises not to for nutrient retention.

Add 1.5 cups of water to the Instant Pot.

Add salt for flavor if desired; do not add oil as it prevents the rice from absorbing water properly.

Lock the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the knob from venting to sealing.

Press the manual button and set the cooking time to 15 minutes on high pressure.

After cooking, allow for a 10-minute natural pressure release; this is important for the rice to absorb water and steam properly.

After 10 minutes, open the lid and fluff the rice.
