As easy as 1-2-3!
Here you will learn how to make the no-fail perfect instant pot brown rice in under 20 minutes! No more under cooked or mushy brown rice, simply set and forget really.
I am a part of a few instant pot Facebook groups and surprisingly one of the number one thing that people have a hard time cooking in the instant pot is RICE… I didn’t really understand it and I was thinking “rice really? That’s so easy right?” Until I tried it myself and boy did it take a lot of trial and error to get the times and amounts to a perfect setting.
I thought about giving up because I had already mastered it on our stove, well, mostly right? But I stuck at it because I love my instant pot and anything that I can cook in it I will try. Also, because I don’t have to worry about the water over boiling on the stove and I didn’t have to baby it. That was the main reason because “ain’t nobody got time for that!” Especially with a toddler on the loose and boy she keeps me on my toes!
If you are in the market for an instant pot my readers and I strongly suggest this one and if you can find it under $100 you have got yourself a STEAL!

Notes
A few tips if you have less than perfect instant pot brown rice:
- Too mushy or sticky means you have too much water
- Too watery means your rice is under cooked
- Burned or hard means you didn’t add enough water or you rice is overcooked
If you follow this recipe to a tee you shouldn’t have any of these problems. Usually when I make rice on the stove, and sometimes in my rice cooker (that takes 30 minutes) I usually end up with mushy rice. Sometimes I can get it almost perfect but why risk it when I can do it in my instant pot now and it turns out perfect every single time?

As always all of my recipes are easy and most are super quick so I want to make sure I incorporate those aspects into these recipes as well.

The Instant Pot is one of my favorite things ever. Thanks for sharing.
If we will make this rice in black clay pot on the ”Chula ” it gives super delicious taste and nutrients remains stored in it . So nice recipe.
Instant pot is really a blessing. This brown rice has cooked perfectly.
I cook rice and most other things in my pressure cooker and that works for me because of the constant powercuts. But you know I’ve had an eye on an instant pot. Your recipe sounds really easy as 1-2-3. And I do know people struggle to cook brown rice over the stove. Takes ages and no guarantees of the perfect cooked grain! Thanks for the tips, Felicia!
I didn’t realize you use a 1:1 ratio of water to rice in the IP, compared to 2:1 on the stovetop. So nice to have a specific method to try. We always soak our brown rice – do you?
I have been thinking to make this brown rice in the instant pot from a long time, But i was not sure of it. Today after reading your post I got confident in making this. You explained really well. Thanks for sharing it.
I love the fact that it is set and forget – I don’t like having to baby my rice as you so eloquently put it. I would love to get an instant pot and make rice like this. It is certainly on my kitchen wish list!
I already follow keto diet brown rice is so nutritious for my diet, this recipe is very easy to follow!! thanks for sharing
It looks so perfect and brown rice is very healthy too…
Brown rice is very healthy and this recipe will definitely work for me
I always end up making a very soggy brown rice. I’ve no idea what goes wrong but my rice never turns up grainy they’re always mushy, which white rice the proportion of water is ok but not with brown rice. I’ll try 1:1 proportion now and see how it turns up. thanks for the recipe
Hi there. I am wondering how your rice turned out when you used the 1:1 ratio..
Brown rice is really healthy and this is a nice recipe. So easy and simple to cook. Instant pot rice recipes are our favourite too. Sometimes we add cut veggies along with the rice and later season it with spices so as to add more flavour and taste.
