You may be wondering whether Instapot rice is as quick, easy and perfectly cooked as rice made in a rice cooker.

Once I learned how to cook rice in the Instant Pot, I’ve found that I have no need for a rice cooker at all. Making rice in the Instant Pot works just as well, if not better.  

It’s so convenient because there’s no need to plan ahead. I don’t need to soak the rice when I’m making it in the Instant Pot, so if I need white rice at the last minute when I’m making a curry like Instant Pot fish curry or Instant Pot beef curry, I can make a fresh pot of rice in short order.

There are two ways to make Instant Pot rice:

  1. Inner Pot Rice: You can cook it directly in the inner pot that comes with the Instant Pot, as I do in this Instant Pot Jasmine Rice recipe.
  2. Pot in Pot Rice: You can cook it in a smaller oven-safe bowl placed on a trivet inside the inner pot. This is called the “Pot in Pot” method (often referred to as “PIP”).  I use a Pyrex glass bowl and it works perfectly for one or two cups of uncooked long grain rice.

💡 Recipe and Ingredient Tips


🍚 Rice-to-Water Ratios: The ratio of rice to water is important for perfect results. Use the same measuring cup for both the rice and water to ensure accuracy.

  • For long-grain white rice or basmati rice, use a 1:1 ratio. This means 1 cup of rice needs 1 cup of water, 1.5 cups of rice needs 1.5 cups of water, and so on.

🥣 Bowls for Pot-in-Pot Cooking: Always use an oven-safe bowl for the pot-in-pot cooking method. Metal or ceramic bowls work well, but they must be oven-safe.

  • Be sure to follow your bowl manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid any issues.
  • I use an older PYREX glass bowl and haven’t had any issues. However, newer Pyrex bowls may crack.
    A helpful tip: glass bowls with the uppercase “PYREX” logo are typically safer (made with borosilicate glass), while those with the lowercase “pyrex” may not be as durable.

❓FAQS


Can I make this in an 8 quart Instant Pot?

Making PIP rice in the 8 quart Instant Pot may require more time. Add an extra 2 to 3 minutes to the pressure cooking time.

Can I double the recipe?

You are only limited by the size of the container. A 7-cup container is just right for 2 cups of rice and water.

Can I use the Instant Pot rice setting?

The Instant Pot rice button cooks rice on low pressure for 12 minutes. I prefer using high pressure for pot in pot rice. The rice setting works best when you’re cooking the rice directly in the inner pot.

Can I cook the rice directly in the inner pot or liner?

If you’d like to make a larger quantity, you can cook the rice directly in the inner pot using my Instant Pot Jasmine Rice method, but use the time and ratio from this recipe.

    Hi! My chicken recipe calls for 8 minutes on manual. Will that be too long for pot-in-pot jasmine rice?

      JB, yes I think it would get mushy. What you could do is cut the chicken into small pieces. I cook bite-size chicken thighs for 4 minutes – the same time as Jasmine rice. Or cook the chicken for 4 minutes, do a quick release, add the rice and cook for 4 minutes. Good luck.

    FINALLY! Rice that came out perfect! I am usually cooking for just two and 1 cup of rice makes the perfect amount for dinner with two servings for leftovers. I love making it with the “pot-in-pot” method–less cleanup–but couldn’t get the texture right with other recipes. I used a “Texmati” rice (Texas basmati-comes in a plastic container), and it was just right. Thank you!!!

    Hi Nina,

    Do you need to soak the Basmati rice for 20-30 minutes before cooking it using the Pot in Pot method given above? I’m so used to soaking my Basmati rice before cooking it in my electric rice cooker, so I was just wondering.

    Thank you for your help!

    I have an off brand pressure cooker and it does not have high and low pressure. It is only capable of 8lbs pressure. If the person with the DUO had the same situation that would explain why their rice was not done. Gotta add more time for lower pressure machines.

    Hi Neena! So glad to have found your site! I am of Indian origin so I do like to cook Indian dishes every now and then although mostly I cook Italian/American food on the stove. I just bought myself this Duo60 V3 (which does not have a MANUAL and ADJUST button) for Christmas. I had a Fagor 4 QT Elite Stove top Pressure cooker which I may have used about 5 in total for the last 3 years I had. I wanted an electric pressure cooker, but it seems complicated and I don’t want to experiment on and on and waste valuable raw materials in the process. I love your simple step by step instructions and will follow as soon as I get the courage to even do the steam cook for water, LOL! I will post then the result of the Basmati rice as that is the rice i eat everyday. Thanks again!

      Hi Kanwal, thanks for commenting! So the ‘Manual’ mode on your model is ‘Pressure Cook’ and to adjust the level of cooking between less, normal and more, you will repeatedly press the button of your choice. e.g. press ‘Saute’ multiple times to toggle between the settings. I think you’re really smart to start with rice (eggs is good too) so you get used how the IP works. Watch my beginner’s guide videos (first videos I did – so forgive the production quality 🙂 ) to get started. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I try to respond as quick as I can. Good luck!

    By “cup of rice” are you referring to the 6 oz. rice cup that came with the IP, or a standard 8 oz. measuring cup? I just discovered why so many of us have had trouble with the difference in those two!

      December 20, 2017 at 4:35 pm

      Hi Barbara – I never use the IP measuring cup 🙂 The important point is that it’s a matter of ratios. So even if you were to use the smaller cup, as long as you use that same cup for the rice AND liquid, you should be fine. Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Hi! What fantastic info you have in this post and love all the additional varothat have come from the comments. I’ve been using my IP for about a month and in most recipes (for rice and beyond) the guidance is to use the manual setting versus the programmable settings that are in the IP ( such as “rice” or “soup” ). What is your opinion about the programmable settings? Are they valuable or just a gimmick? Thank you!

    Reply
    • Paint the Kitchen Red says

      November 16, 2017 at 1:52 pm

      Hi Sydney, if you have an Instant Pot that ‘remembers’ your previous settings for a particular program, then I feel the programs are valuable. For example, I cook eggs at 2 minutes (with 15 minutes natural release), always. So if I pick the egg function and change the time to 2 minutes, the next time I want to cook eggs I can just select the egg program and press start – that’s pretty convenient. However on some Instant Pot models, some specialized functions (like ‘Rice’ which cooks at low pressure) are not useful for me because I like to cook rice at high pressure. btw, this does not apply to the Ultra, where I can change the Rice pressure to high. I hope that answered your question. Thanks for visiting!

    I have 6 qt DUO, used long grain white rice in 1:1 ratio, pyrex glass bowl on trivet that came with the IP, water on the bottom. 6 Min Manual, 11 min natural release, rice is not even cooked, maybe 1/2 cooked. Pot came to pressure fine. I wonder if it’s because long grain requires more water like the jasmine?

      Marie, sorry you had trouble. I don’t think the timing should have been a problem – I suspect it was the quantity of water. Did you rinse the rice before cooking? Next time, you might increase the water to 1:1.25 or maybe even 1:1.5. Best of luck.

      If you want to use coconut milk you’ll need to dilute it with water or broth. Otherwise, it will probably stick to the bottom and not come to pressure. You can experiment by trying 1/3 quantity coconut milk and then increase the next time you try. good luck.

    • Paint the Kitchen Red says

      February 06, 2017 at 8:32 pm

      Hi Anne, I’m sorry you had trouble. So some basic questions: 1. Did the Instant Pot come to pressure (i.e. did the float valve come up?) 2. Did you use white rice? Could it have been brown rice? 3. Have you made anything else in the Instant Pot, and was your time close to the recipe time? This method should have worked for you, even if you’re off by a minute or two, but not by 10 minutes. I would definitely give it another try after double checking what I mentioned above. Please do keep me posted and best of luck.

        Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been using the IP for about a year and have cooked all kinds of things in it. The float valve came up and the time counted down as usual. It was medium grain Nishiki white rice. I will try it again sometime. When I finally DID get it to cook it was good.

          Sounds like you’re a pro! Hmmm, Nishiki rice I have no experience with but look at what I found from a user on the Instant Pot official website: “The ratio of Rice to Water is 1:1.25 (same as brown rice). I rinsed rice; used rice button on Instant Pot; 10-minute natural pressure release. The rice was perfect – even better than when I use our Japanese electric rice cooker….” Maybe you can try this. Best of luck.

            Thanks for this. I did try it again with the specifications you mentioned, and it was still not cooked. So yesterday I used jasmine rice, did 10 minutes on the rice button and then quick release and it was perfect. Maybe it’s just the type of rice, or my particular pot. Anyway, thanks again , happy rice cooking!

            I’m so sorry that you had trouble with the Nishiki rice. I do use this same method with Jasmine rice as well, just a tiny bit more water (1:1 1/8) and 4 minutes. Good luck and thanks for the update.

    January 23, 2017 at 2:28 pm

    Thank you. How would you make 4 or more cups of rice in IP? Are the rice to water ratio same for other types of rice – i.e. long, white grain?

    Reply
    • Paint the Kitchen Red says

      January 23, 2017 at 8:41 pm

      Hi Linda, you can cook long grain rice at the same ratio, but for Jasmine I add a tiny bit more water (about 1: 1 + 1/8) and cook for only 4 minutes. For larger quantities of rice, I just cook directly in the inner pot (not pot in pot) with the same ratio as PIP. Just make sure you don’t fill past the 1/2-full mark, because of expansion.

      Jenn, it’s the ratio that’s important. So just use the same cup to measure the rice AND water – it doesn’t matter which cup you use. I use just a regular cup measure because it’s a larger quantity than the measure that comes with the Instant Pot and we eat a lot of rice! For the water in the inner pot, I just fill the inner pot to the line that says ‘2’ (2 cups). Hope that helps!

          Candice, you can use the ‘Rice’ button for sure. It cooks at low pressure for 12 minutes. I like having control of the time because I use different times for different types of rice and I like using high pressure because my rice is done in 4 minutes (Jasmine). Also, some of my readers use my recipes with other brands of presssure cooker and some don’t have the same features as the Instant Pot.
