Instant Pot Brown Rice

This Instant Pot Brown Rice recipe is an easy, hands-off way to cook fluffy brown rice! Serve it as a side dish, with stir fry, or use it to make fried rice, stuffed peppers or casseroles.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 cups long grain brown rice
• 2 1/2 cups water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
2. 2Pour 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.
3. 3Close the Instant Pot lid and move the steam release valve to the sealing position.
4. 4Set 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.
5. 5When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes (just leave the Instant Pot alone).
6. 6After 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.
7. 7Fluff rice and serve.
