🍚 INSTANT POT RICE
Cooked in @mychefiq 6Q Smart Cooker
Pot in Pot method – 1c water in main pot liner
Place smaller pot on trivet stand with rice + liquid
~ Rinse rice well ~

RICE [time below + Natural Release]
Depending on how soft you like your rice – liquid ratio will vary from 1:1 for a firm rice and 1:1½ for a softer rice. I like to use stock but you can just use water.

White Rice – 5min / 8min for a softer rice
Jasmine / White Basmati Rice – 18min
Brown Rice Short Grain – 22min
Brown Basmati Rice – 24min
Red Rice – 30min
Wild Rice – 28min
Black Rice – 30min
Rice Blend – 30min
If you want a softer texture – increase water by ⅓-½c.

If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.

More information about what is wrong as well as the resources I’m using to track histamines and oxalates are here:
