Brown rice cooks with water or broth and kosher salt under pressure, then rests before the remaining steam is released.
Servings: 6 servings
Course: Side
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 C organic brown rice
  • 2½ C water, chicken broth, or vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Add the brown rice, water or broth, and kosher salt to the Instant Pot’s inner pot. Stir and secure the lid.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to Manual High Pressure for 25 minutes.
  3. When the timer ends, allow a 10-minute natural release. Then release the remaining pressure. When the pin drops, open the lid and serve.
  4. If the rice seems wet, leave it in the Instant Pot on Warm to dry out, as the source suggests.

Notes

The source uses 2 cups brown rice to 2½ cups liquid and notes that the rice can remain on Warm if it seems wet after cooking.
