Instant Pot Basmati White Rice

Once again we are blessed with Tom’s persistence in figuring out how to make perfectly granular white rice in the Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. If you use his method you will turn out perfect white rice every time. Our grandchildren love white rice and we enjoy it from time to time as well.

Sometimes you just want a bowl of white rice – enjoy!

Tom is the official rice maker in our house and he always batch preps a pot full. He divides it into freezer safe containers so we always have rice ready to thaw and eat.

Here is a link if you would like to order Tom’s favorite Holland Bowl Mill Wooden Rice Paddle.

Souper Cubes come in a Variety of sizes from 2 Tablespoons to 2 cups. Choose the ones that are best for you. Our favorites for soups, stews and grains are the 2 Cup Souper Cubes and 1 Cup Souper Cubes. We have all the sizes and use them for a variety of foods in our freezer. Once frozen, pop out the frozen cubes and put them in gallon size freezer bags – freeing up your silicone trays for more batch prepping.

Here is a short video showing you exactly how to make this in your Instant Pot.

Equipment

• 1 6 QT Electric Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 cups Basmati white rice
• 6 cups water

Instructions

 

• 1. Put basmati rice and water in the SS liner of the 6 QT Instant Pot, Take notice of the water level with the measurement markings inside the pressure cooker liner. In a 6 QT it comes up to the 7 cup marking.
• 2. Take the SS liner to the sink and rinse the rice with more water, pouring off and rinsing again. Stir the rice with a spatula or large spoon while rinsing to free up the rice dust and husks that need to be rinsed away. Lastly, refill with fresh water up to the level you noted earlier, a 6 qt liner = the 7 cup marking.
• 3. Close the lid on the pressure cooker, set the valve to "sealing" and start the pressure cooker on High for 4 minutes. Once completed, leave the pressure cooker on sealing for another 10 minutes before quick-releasing the remaining pressure.
• 4. Divide into flat stackable containers or your preferred size of Souper Cubes and freeze for future use.
