    is it possible to make super soft, well cooked white rice with soft grains in the MINI Duo?

    I have severe chronic bowel issues and I can only eat soft rice. I´m looking for a kitchen tool/machine where I can cook soft rice in bulk (300-400g raw weight)

    I appreciate every tipp or suggestion or a review if the instant pot is a helpful tool for cooking really soft rice without texture but not total mush.

    thank you very much for your valuable time and help

    Best regards,
    Helmut

    Just so people know, the Rice button actually uses the Instant Pot's internal sensors to judge when to stop cooking the white rice. This makes the Instant Pot more like a rice cooker which also uses sensors to ensure perfectly cooked white rice. So, while you can manually set up your Instant Pot to cook rice according to your preferences, the Rice button takes all of the guesswork out of cooking the white rice like a dedicated rice cooker.

    Hi Nili, Thanks for the pot in pot demo; I've been looking for info on that. I have the stacking pots, so I can try it. I just want to say that I have cooked both short grain and long grain, brown rice using the rice setting and it comes out great(for my taste). I don't understand why everyone I've heard, says that the rice setting is ONLY for white rice.

    So to cook white jasmine rice, you use 2 pyrex measuring cups worth or is it 2 cups, of the small, plastic cup that comes with the IP Mini?
    And the 2 cups water, that is 2 pyrex cup sizes, then?

    I didn't even think of that. I was making some meatballs earlier for lunch and could have cooked my rice in with it. I just used my 3qt pot to cook my rice. Good to know. Thanks

    Thanks so much for this video! I wanted to get rid of my non-stick rice cooker and was hesitant about cooking perfect rice in my instant pot. I’d seen several different instructions of which I tried, but my rice wasn’t quite the way I liked it. Your method seems foolproof, so I am cooking rice tomorrow. 👍🏾

    A great and very helpful video. I've cooked rice twice with mixed results. This video has answered some of my questions and next time I do rice, it will be with more confidence. Thank you!

    I find the rice cooked in an insta pot tends to stick to the bottom of the metal pot. Will try your method to see if it comes out better. We don't rinse our rice. Would you show us how to cook brown rice?

    Never had luck with white rice, brown rice or Jasmine rice in my Instant Pot.

    Almost gave up on rice altogether until I tried basmati rice PIP. Came out absolutely perfect first time. So I make it at least once a week now.

    I almost always use PIP in my Instant Pot, for easier cleanup and for quickly storing the leftovers in the bowl it was cooked in. (Easier to get every grain out of a bowl than the deep inner pot!) I do this for grits and oatmeal as well because I always want to make enough for leftovers.

    I would love tips on PIP quinoa and brown rice. Couscous and barley PIP would also be great. I love grains when I have just a little meat/fish or leftover roasted vegetables to use up.

    I only cook in the inner pot if I need to brown, make soups or large amounts, like greens.

    Thanks for the info. Love your IP videos. I am one of those people who just uses the rice button and I also use the measurements inside the pot for rice. Perfect every time. I have also found that for wild rice (I also make your wild rice soup. Love that!) I just cut the time in half and cook on high pressure.
