How to make rice not sticky in pressure cooker- How to make rice not sticky in pressure cooker
Or, rarely, to compensate for a low-quality pressure cooker or a particularly strong heat source that consistently results in burned rice using the classic method. Then, lower the steamer basket into the cooker. To the heat-proof bowl add the rice, water and oil. Lower the un-covered bowl onto the steamer basket in the pressure cooker.
Remove the heat-proof bowl from the pressure cooker, fluff with a fork and serve. I normally cook my rinsed Jasmine rice on high pressure; tonight, on a whim, I chose low. Used the same cooking time and natural release as always, and the rice turned out to be a bit on the crunchy side.
We still ate it. So, I conclude that if your stove is quick with the temperature changes like an induction stove is , you might be better off either selecting high pressure for rice, or, if using low pressure, lenthening cooking time. Anette, the Natural Release from low pressure will be shorter than the one from high pressure.
Next time, use the min Natural and keep the lid closed even if the pressure indicator has come down — as the rice keeps on cooking during that time. I had this problem with my Instant Pot question the other day, too. Thanks for this. I found that I preferred the results of the Bain Marie method for Basmati rice and I also appreciated the easier clean-up smaller bowl.
Only minor glitch was that it was as awkward to get the bowl I happened to have no handle out of the pressure cooker as I expected. Could you recommend a source for the type of bowl shown in the picture i. Cross the two strips over each other and staple where they cross about four times. Voila — a sling. The other option is to buy a silicone sling online. I now have one. I had to trim it so it would fit my 6-qt. Ultra, but it works great. It kind of grabs the bowl, too. No matter what, use caution.
Hope this helps. Do you have any advice on best approach with these seeming contradictory results? I note that you say nothing about adding salt—could that help? Thanks, Jon. Even the use of the rice will depend on whether you rinse it or not — for example, you would never rinse Arborio since you want to keep the surface starch to make risotto creamy. I have not tested PIP rinsed Basmati — maybe it needs and even lower liquid ratio.
Maybe there was too much liquid and the steam only cooked the water above the rice. Water heated by steam is at a lower temperature than water cooked in the base of the pressure cooker. Marilyn, I already tested rinsed and soaked Basmati rice, you can see the indications in the timing chart.
Any of these comments would be helpful if there were some explanation with your terms. Pressure cooking time. Natural real ease. Sorry just a dad with no cooking experience trying to figure this out with no explanation. I have a really old pressure cooker and was trying to follow a suggestion to use it to cook perfect rice. I guess you have to learn somehow.
Learn to use it be pressure cooking water first. Do I follow instuctions for white rice or Basmati or Jasmine? This is my fovorite rice that i grew up eating and i would love to cook in bain marie. Thanks Karen. Can i cook just the rice in another dish and no other food? Thanks for your earlier rrply, but i need more help. Hi Karen, no need to rinse the rice, and yes, you can cook the rice in a container on a steamer basket with just the liquid in the base to bring the cooker to pressure bain marie.
Ask as many questions as you like. Had somewhat undercooked rice recently and feeling pretty that this was the culprit as that was the only thing differentiating it from my multiple attempts. And could I also tweak the volume of rice being cooked to alter this a little bit as it should take longer to heat a higher volume of rice this way?
Dave, the Bain Marie technique does not require the bottom of the container come in contact with the steaming liquid below. The table of recipes using different cookers is partially masked on the right side by links to recent recipes.
Is there a way to see your entire table? Sorry about that, Pat. Please can I have recipes to cooking brown rice? How many minutes of pressure cooking? I own a Philips Viva All in One. Thank you. Hi Laura. Probably an issue to do with his browser as I have no trouble. Love the bain marie method. Keen to try it with your confetti rice. Like most other appliances, the Instant Pot can be an amazing appliance to use in the kitchen, but you need to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
If you have recently bought the Instant Pot, it would be a wise idea to go through its manual to understand how to cook different dishes. Sticky rice is always a problem, especially when you consider that most people like to pair their rice with other dishes.
But, not all is lost. There are ways to fix this issue and make sure that the rice you make in your Instant Pot comes out fine. If your rice comes out too sticky when using the Instant Pot, there is often a valid reason for it being so.
In many cases, sticky rice is an indication that there is not enough water or liquid in the pot to begin with. It can be frustrating when you follow a recipe as carefully as possible, only to find that the rice in your pot is all sticky by the end. Thus, you have to experiment and find what works best depending upon the quantity of rice you are making. This is not something that you can perfect right from the start.
However, with that being said, the definition of perfect is different for everyone, especially when it comes to food, so you may need to adjust it a little bit to your liking.
Overall, while rice can be tricky to cook at times, you must keep trying until you find the method that works the best for you. The method outlined in this article has been done repeatedly and is seen as a great way to make rice.
The Instant Pot can cook rice by a considerable margin once you learn how it works exactly. Remember, if you want more watery rice, add a bit of extra water. On the other hand, if you want stickier rice, reduce the amount of water by a little bit.
What to do if Your Instant Pot Rice is Too Sticky - Miss Vickie -
Sometimes I add a few TBSP of chicken stock, water or salsa depending on what we are having for dinner as I fluff the rice. So good! I made this rice both ways — rinsing it in hot water until all the starch was washed off and then soaking it till it was white.
Then I made it by just cooking it per the above directions. It was noticeably more tender. Also if you make the soaked rice I would decrease the amount of water by a smidge. Hi Barbara, I loved all the information you provided. Thank you for taking the time to educate us. I realize there are many subtleties of rice making and it seems you are trying to help us learn to cook to our preferences. Some people are new to cooking, others like myself can sometimes struggle to get rice just right and they may also have a new gadget which they need help to use.
The cook time will be the same. I use a stovetop pressure cooker and I live at 4, ft. Using your instructions, the rice came out a little dry, not fully plumped, and a bit toasted on the bottom. Followed your timing instructions exactly. It came out perfectly and so soft with the changes. Can someone please HELP? Hi Debbie — with our recipe using a 3 minute cook time, we do not use the Rice button. The Instant Pot will say On until it reaches pressure and then the cook time will start counting down.
Hi Dee — I would use the same ratio and cook time when making 6 cups. Just be sure not to fill your pressure cooker more than half full when making things that foam like rice. I follow the recipe to a T. Have you used different brands or always the same brand? Do you use a rice paddle to stir it at the end? No the rice is the rice my mom and I have used forever. I used it in my rice cooker and it never comes out sticky.
And yes I use the rice paddle. But you may just prefer rice the way your rice cooker cooks it. Neither of those would work in this method. Just a suggestion: might want to make that clear in the recipe that you need to use regular rice, and not the instant stuff.
I just finished serving a meal with your instant pot rice. It came out perfect. It was excellent—I thought that 3 minutes pressure would never have been enough to cook it through, but it was great. At age 69 I can finally make a good white rice!
Thank you. Thanks so much Rosie! Go rice to water for pressure cooker. Hi Mathew — some people like to use the ratio but for me, this ratio works better.
Thanks for sharing! W use Japanese rice or short grain sushi rice and my manual of course says cook on low but I am going to try the high method. For short grain Japanese rice, do you think it is still 3 min? I followed this recipe to a T. Used long grain white rice and doubled the recipe, so I used the oil. It came out pretty sticky and gummy. I doubled the recipe.
Natural release for 10 and then immediately fluffed with the rice paddle. The only thing I did not do was rinse the rice at all. It still turned out perfectly! I used a 6qt Instant Pot duo. Thank you so much for the recipe! I did it exactly the same way. No rinsing but water, oil, rice, and a pinch of salt. Thank you for the recipe. Idk what happened. Jasmine rice seems to be a lot easier to cook in my instant pot.
As long as I follow a recipe on Google. Hi Jessie — do you live at altitude? Did you have a good seal or see steam escaping around the sides of the lid? Oh yeah and if anyone wants a easy yummy meal idea. I scramble egg, add it to rice, top with pace salsa!! Usually do with Jasmine, but used the long grain white rice following this recipe so good. I like a stickier rice so didnt rinse..
I forgot to add oil, for doubling batch as suggested.. Thank you for this recipe.. Mushy rice like other said. I followed the directions perfectly. Hi Jillian — thanks for the feedback. It works for most people, my daughter and I both make it weekly, so I know the recipe works.
What pressure cooker did you use? What type of rice did you use? Did your pressure cooker have trouble coming to pressure? I followed the directions and my rice came out a little sticky.
I also added a tablespoon of butter…. You can put a towel over the inner pot when the rice is finished cooking and the 10 minute natural release has ended to absorb some of the steam and that will help.
Do stir you rice after cooking, use a rice paddle or a fork. Barbara thank you very much for the many beginners recipes. One of may favorites is white rice but as you say its a painful and lengthy process to do on the stove.
Is it possible that this is not repeatable and every time you make it its a lottery. Please address this and if the type of rice has a bearing on solving this using your recipe please state the type we should be using to avoid this. I for one once I get it right will continue to repeat the process for ever. Thank you for the great service you provide and the good recipes you post.
How can I know a recipe is for a 2 quart pressure cooker? Thanks for any ideas. Hi Janet — most recipes, including mine, are created for a 6-quart pressure cooker. So for your two-quart pressure cooker you can divide many recipes in half, soup and pasta recipes in third. About how long does the rinse process usually take you? Just turn on the faucet and let the water run on top of the rice until the water draining from the bottom is clear.
It should only take a minute or two. I also have never done this how do you rinse it in a strainer without it going through the holes I laid down a paper towel and it seemed to kind of work okay is that how you guys do that?
The way my grandma always did after being taught by her Japanese exchange students was to use warm water and a bowl.
Add water maybe an inch over rice and use hand to swirl rice and water until the water is milky. Then drain. Keep doing that until when you swirl the water is clear. Works every time for our family. Followed this to a T and rice came out so sticky and gummy. Rinsed, less water, high pressure, 3 min, natural release for 10 min, quick release after….. Did your pressure cooker have a hard time coming to pressure? What do you mean less water?
For rice, something my daughter asked me — After the natural release and then the quick-release at the end , should she pull the plug or should she let the Keep Warm setting continue until she is ready to serve?
I made this today and it was SO good! Followed everything exactly. However, I first sauteed some onion and garlic to make it similar to Hispanic white rice. After the 10 minute natural release, all the pressure was gone.
I just got my instant pot. When I made my rice, it came out so sticky! Do you think manually setting my time and pressure level will help it? Also, rinsing the rice before cooking can help the rice be more fluffy. I do prefer using the manual setting instead of the rice function. Hi Sue — what did you do differently each time? The first time when it was soupy, did you remember to let it naturally release for 10 minutes? The rice absorbs the water as it releases. I love rice cooked in the Instant Pot.
Perfect every time. My husband took our rice cooker to work, so this will be my first time in the pressure cooker. This might be a game changer if this turns out in the pressure cooker. My rice was really sticky. I cooked it for 3 min. Forgot the oil. Still nervous using it. Hi Pat — did you let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing the pressure? Did you rinse the rice before pressure cooking it?
Followed your recipe exactly, doubling everything. Rice well rinsed and drained. Too wet. Suggest less water. Did not work in an instant pot exactly as specified gave me the burn error and the rice stuck to the bottom of the pot. Hi Colleen — I write my recipes for electric pressure cookers, not just the Instant Pot, and not all of them have a rice button and not all rice buttons give people the result they like. I prefer my ratio of water to liquid. I really appreciate this. Maybe the rice functions use a different temperature?
I followed your instructions tonight with the high pressure function, and it worked like a charm on the first try. Thanks Nicole — glad the recipe was a hit! Manufacturers tend to keep secret what the different functions do exactly, so it can be very confusing.
If I need to do it for 6 serving sizes would I just multiple the time by 6 along with rice and water? What am I doing wrong?? Have you tried this recipe? Are you rinsing your rice? What brand are you using? Same here. I doubled the recipe and used jasmine rice. It came out sticky and mushy. I also added oil.
Sounds like you may have used too much water if it was mushy. To avoid it being sticky, be sure and rinse it well. Yes, doubling above recipe just yields to mushy rice. High pressure 6 minutes, natural decompression. Multiply away. Delores — I think you misunderstood the question. I rinse jasmine rice in a wire sieve under cold running water for two minutes, stirring it with a chopstick to get all the loose sticky stuff off.
After two minutes rinsing the rice I dump it into the now-hot oil inside the pressure cooker and saute it for two minutes, allowing the oil to coat all the rice grains. This makes the rice fluffy and easy to separate after pressure cooking. It never sticks. Barbara, your site, your recipes and your wisdom are invaluable. This was absolutely spot on!
I brown some leftover pork Adobe, onions, and veggies then added the rice and water. Holy cow was it delicious! I will use this recipe over and over! Thank you for the perfect rice recipe! Does anyone know why?? This was plain white rice. Nothing special. Does anyone know WHY it would have come out gummy? Should I have used a little more or less water? Set the timer to 5 minutes or even turned it to the warm cycle after just for 10 minutes and then releasing?
Would a natural release have made it less sticky? Hi Susan — when you pressure cook rice you need less water. The natural release time allows the rice to finish cooking by steaming. I have a Bella 6. Like yours, my timer only goes as low as five minutes, too. Anyway, I followed the above instructions precisely, and, overall, my white rice Jasmine, I believe turned out good enough. It was a bit gummy and seemed to be a bit wetter than I expected.
Using the same measurements, cook the rice for a total of five minutes, changing nothing else 2. Depending on the results of the above changes, I may also choose to add a little Kerrygold butter to the mix.
This is prior to adding the rice. At five minutes, I remove the lid, and fluff with a fork. Such a great recipe. Keep posting this type of recipes.. Hi Lisa — it depends on the size of your pressure cooker, but you could easily cook 4 cups of rice in a 6 quart. The simplicity of this recipe is fantastic considering how well it turns out.
My wife asked me what i did to make the rice come out perfect. My pressure cooker is a bottom of the line model, so I tried the 5 minute steam setting and it works great. It even works for risotto covered with butter and olive oil.
Hi Barbara, I wanted to know if I could add 2 more eggs with the potatoes for the potatoe salad? Hi Linda — yes, people often cook a few more eggs when making the potato salad recipe. Tried this recipe for the first time. I was making stir fry and remembered that my husband likes rice with his. I needed a quick fix so I decided to try this recipe. It worked perfectly. The rice was a perfect texture.
I have a Wolfgang Puck 6-quart Bistro electric pressure cooker. Using a separate timer, I manually timed it for 3 minutes and then turn my PC unit off. When I do a Natural release, it only takes 5 to 6 minutes for the float valve to drop … should I be letting it sit longer AFTER the pressure is released naturally before I remove the lid? I made the recipe as stated, including rinsing the rice, and some of it came out slightly crunchy.
Yes, you want to let it sit 10 minutes even if the float valve drops so that the rice has time to steam and get tender. If it was slightly crunchy I would add a minute to the cook time next time. Have fun!!
Hi Marie — yes, elevation does affect cooking times. If doubling rice should I stir the olive oil into the water and rice mixture or just pour on top? I want to cook 6 cups of jasmine rice in my 8 quart IP. Do I have to adjust the cook time from 3 minutes or do you think that should be long enough? Thank you in advance!
Just made this for fried rice tomorrow. Used 2 cups rice, 2 cups water. Rinsed the rice until near clear. Used the 3 minutes with 10 minutes natural release, fluffed with fork and it was perfect!!! I am Asian-American with a Japanese mom who made rice on a daily basis. I used to use a rice cooker but it eventually died. I made white rice in the IP using your instructions and it came out perfect!
I doubled to 2 cups dry rice and 2. My Japanese mom always says to rinse with super hot water until clear and then let the rice sit in hot water until it turns bright white.
I used that technique before cooking in the IP. I set the IP on manual, high-pressure for 3 minutes. Let naturally depressurize for 10 minutes and fluffed it and served it.
Thanks for the perfect rice in the IP recipe!! Thank you June and Barbara for sharing. I used white rice and made 5 cups and 5 cups of water and my rice was sticky. What am I doing wrong? I used the pressure butting for 4 minuets and natural pressure release. Hi Olivia — did you rinse the rice? You can also put a towel over the pot after cooking to absorb some of the steam and that will help make it less sticky.
Hi Gina — what size pressure cooker do you have? I live at 8. The 3 min. Any suggestions? Just manual. Thanks, Cindy. I actually prefer using the manual button to the rice button. Anytime I type in Faberware on the search engine, I only get instate pot sites.
The pre-set time on the rice button is not adjustable, so I would not use that button. Be sure and do a natural pressure release at the end of 3 minutes. Yes, it is a combination of rice and liquid. How many people are you feeding? I followed a recipe for black beans that called for 8 cups of water to 1 pound of beans. I added sauteed onion, seasonings, etc. The beans came out adequately hydrated, but at least half the water was left in the pot and the beans were tasteless. Was this just because I used too much water, or would it make more sense to cook beans in two stages: first, just pressure-cook them in water; then, saute them as you would canned beans with all the other ingredients?
Thanks for your reply! I just cooked another batch — this time with only 5 cups of water for a pound of beans soaked for 8 hours. And, yes, I discarded the soaking water first. I could try even less water as with your baked bean recipe , but I worry the beans may not be fully hydrated. Seems like my two-step process makes more sense, but no black bean recipes I can find online suggest this — or acknowledge the problem.
We like to cook jasmine rice in coconut milk …. Overall, while rice can be tricky to cook at times, you must keep trying until you find the method that works the best for you. The method outlined in this article has been done repeatedly and is seen as a great way to make rice.
The Instant Pot can cook rice by a considerable margin once you learn how it works exactly. Remember, if you want more watery rice, add a bit of extra water. On the other hand, if you want stickier rice, reduce the amount of water by a little bit. As you continue to cook day in and day out, you will realize how to balance the rice just right, which will make the whole cooking process much easier for you.

Less water will leave the rice uncooked and more water will make it extra soft and mushy. Both these textures are undesirable. If you want to use this perfect pressure cooker rice for pulao and biryani , allow it to cool for some time in the pressure cooker itself. Then remove it from the pressure cooker and spread it in a bog flat plate, by separating the cooked rice grains gently with a fork. Once the rice is cooled completely, it is ready to be used for pulao and biryani. Once steamed rice in a pressure cooker , you can serve it as such with a cup of dal or curds, or use it to prepare other rice recipes.
