You dont fluff up your rice with a fork or something and let it sit after that covered for 10 minutes or so?
Haha, sometimes I do that, but when I'm cooking for myself, often no. I think most other households do though, since we (Pinoys in general) often serve rice on a separate plate and not straight from the pot, so that takes care of the fluffing part.
That makes sense thank you. I'm currently in a battle with rice - my pressure cooker recipe keeps failing me and I'm really unhappy with the results. Maybe I'll just return to using a pot.
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.
I feel like I'm tossing my cooker if your recipe doesn't work lol.
absolutely never. it is not needed. just cook until done and serve hot
