    Here is a failproof method of making perfect rice. Bring a couple of quarts of water to a boil on a stove, I'd go with that small pot, add 8-16 oz of rinsed rice. When it returns to a boil, turn the flame down, start your timer set to 25 minutes and read a book or watch some videos. Don't stir it or do anything else she thinks you should do. Drain and rinse rice three times. No, you don't need an instapot. Rice ain't hard people. I suggest donating your instapot to the goodwill and freeing up your counter space from gadgets you shouldn't have bought.

    Hello Lorena, I'm so happy to have found out about your channel last week. I just bought my IP a month ago and still learning how to use it and looking for recipes. I tried cooking white rice last week following your method and it was perfect. But my husband doesn't like the rice hard, so i made it again today and make the time 5 minutes and it was the softness that the husband likes. I also made your cabbage soup and it turned out sooo delicious. I have been watching your videos and reading your blog since last week and printing some recipes. Thank you so much

    Good production style for your videos. Why are the cooking times different in the video than the times listed in the Show Notes? Also, I usually rinse the rice to reduce the amount of starch. While I am rinsing the rice, I boil water in my kettle then add the hot water so the Instant Pot gets to temperature immediately.

    thank you very much for your clip, so useful. however, i'm just wondering why you don't use the ' RICE ' feature on the instant pot? is it better cooking your way ? is the RICE feature as useful as the high presure cook? thanks.

    OMG I loved this video. I think your english is wonderful. I needed this video. Finally explained so that I understand. The IP cuts out the pot type/water amount and the cooking time. The IP is a 1-to-1 ratio. I just bought the new IP Duo Evo Plus so I want to learn to make rice (all varities), lentils, beans & quinoa. Thank You

    Doesn't work in India. Polished long grain rice needs a ratio of rice to water of 1:1.3
    For brown/red rice it is best to soak 24 hours (more detestable) and the same water ratio. I cook it on the default rice function

    So it's one cup rice, one cup, water, and a ;inch of salt, right? LOL. Just kidding. Good video. The information in the beginning was something you rarely see mentioned. Appreciate the time information using the Instant Pot.

    Rice contains Arsenic and arenic is water-soluble. You really should be rinsing your rice before you cook it. Rinsing also helps it from becoming gummy b/c you take some of the starch off the surface.
