    Those little rice cups normally come with electric rice cookers. The little cup doesn't equal any regular measuring cup, wet or dry. In a rice cooker, there are marks on the inside of the pot that indicate where the water level should come to AFTER the rice and water have been added. That way, even if you rinse the rice and therefore have some water clinging to it, the measurement will always be correct. So, if you add TWO of the little "cups" of rice to the rice cooker (measured dry; you can rinse it after measuring), you then add water to come to the TWO cup measure on the inside of the pot. Instant Pot is following that protocol. So, there is no correlation with dry or wet measuring cups and those little rice measuring cups. As for rinsing rice, do a search on Google for removing arsenic from rice by rinsing and soaking before cooking. Rice is very high in arsenic, but with proper rinsing and soaking, you can reduce it up to 85%.

    Great videos John. I’m in the market for either an Instant Pot (IP) or Ninja I’ve heard that cooking rice in a ceramic pot is better than a metallic pot. If so, maybe that could explain why some rice stuck to the pot’s bottom in the IP but not int he Foodi? If this logic is also correct, then wouldn’t using an IP ceramic pot be very similar & have mostly the same result as the Foodi’s ceramic pot?

    Why can't they just write grams and millilitres. This is what they taught me at school. This is what i use when baking. Great vids i always turn my rice into couscous, i spend more time trying to work out the ratios. I'm in the uk and we don't use cups.

    I thought this was supposed to be a comparison between the two pressure cookers. Instead, it's a comparison of recipes. The fact that one of them turned out to be more to your liking than the other one may have nothing to do with the pressure cookers themselves but with the recipes. for a real comparison between the two pressure cookers, it should be fixed exactly the same way with both of them. For example, a roast the same size and same weight in each and prepared exactly the same.

    I do jasmine rice or Jasmine rice tidbit. The jasmine rice tidbit is broken up rice that may have broken in processing. It Cooks the exact same way that any rice Cooks it just helps me to spend less money at times when I need to save money. I find that basmati rice no matter how well I cook it I have to chew it forever and it's cooked all the way through I think it's just that you get more rice on a forkful. There's also a wonderful race that I love from Korea which is Gaba rice and it almost doesn't register in blood sugar so that in Korea it is marketed to diabetics but I like it anyway.

    It would be fluffy if you had fluffed it with a fork instead of stirring it around with the rice paddle. Rice paddle is pretty much for scooping out and not for fluffing rice. Just the tip! 🙂

    Normal rice:
    1c rice
    1c water for sticky. (1/4c more for dry to moist )

    Sticky rice comes from not letting the rice dry or over cooking (Less time: leaving more water in the pot (sticky) – More time: Over cooking the rice drying the grains of rice (warm can help over cook the grains removing moisture (5mins on warm/standby) To much water will make rice mushy… Water: 1/4c at a time will make or brake your rice.

    Research rice ethics of japanese rice cooking.
    How to make rice.
    How water works with rice.
    Prep time and wait times to let the grain open.

    I know your saying what dose all that have to do with foodi or pressure cooking rice?? Simple? pressure cooking rice is not or will it ever be the best way. You want fast rice? you get fast food rice, thats yuk… You want good rice it takes time… Time is what rice needs to be so good..
