Outside of brown rice in the Instant Pot, there are so many ways to use a pressure cooker! You can make Instant pot white rice, Instant Pot black beans, Instant Pot chickpeas, Instant Pot sweet potatoes, Instant Pot broccoli, Instant Pot oatmeal, and more! We’ve cook all sorts of things in our Instant Pot, but one of our favorite ways to use it is for rice. It’s a totally hands off method, and it saves time too. Here’s our Instant Pot brown rice recipe! Using a pressure cooker also saves time! On the stovetop it can take up to 55 minutes to cook. Instant Pot brown rice takes only 35 minutes including “preheat” and natural release time (the cooking portion is only 20 minutes). Here’s how to cook brown rice in the Instant Pot:
White rice has its hull, bran and germ removed. Brown rice keeps the nutrient-packed bran and germ and only has the hull removed. So it retains the nutrients that white rice lacks such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It also has more fiber.
You may notice that cold rice becomes very dry. So how to reheat cold rice? Add a splash of water when you reheat it! You can reheat either in the microwave or on the stovetop. When you heat the rice, add a drizzle of water and heat it until it’s warmed through. It should absorb all the liquid and become moist!
