Servings: 5 cups
Calories: 136kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain brown rice
- 2 ½ cups water
Instructions
- Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
- Pour the rice into your Instant Pot. Add the water and stir to combine. Make sure that all of the rice is in the water and that no grains of rice are on the sides of the Instant Pot.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and move the steam release valve to the sealing position.
- Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook (manual) at high pressure for 22 minutes. The Instant Pot will take some time to reach pressure and then the cook time will start counting down.
- When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes (just leave the Instant Pot alone).
- After the 10 minute natural release, carefully move the steam valve to the venting position. I like to use the handle of a long spoon to do this. Wait while the rest of the steam escapes. Once the pin has dropped down, carefully open the Instant Pot lid.
- Fluff rice and serve.

Notes
- Recipe can be halved to cook less rice. The cook time will stay the same.
- Recipe can be doubled to cook 4 cups of dry rice in a 6 quart Instant Pot. The cook time will stay the same. I do not advise cooking more than 4 cups of dry rice in a 6 quart Instant Pot.
