Rice is the one thing I love to make in the instant pot it always turns out perfect whether I’m making my Crack Chicken rice casserole , Stick of Butter Rice, or just plain rice for my Red Beans and Rice; it’s always fluffy and delicious.
There have always been a lot of controversies in the Instant Pot world over how to cook Rice. I have been cooking electric pressure cooker and instant pot rice dishes for many years and have never got the dreaded “burn” message on my rice dishes. Never cook rice on high pressure settings, and I always do a quick release. Let me show you how I do it!
