Quick Release
03
When the cook cycle is complete, perform a quick release. Enjoy!
I use olive oil in the bottom of my pot just to prevent any sticking or burning. Butter has a lower smoke point than olive oil and we just don’t want your rice to burn..
TIPS
Rinse your rice in a strainer to remove surface starch from the rice and allows the rice to cook more evenly.
TIPS
There are so many options that you can choose to make brown rice tasty. My favorite is a simple approach of butter, salt, garlic, and onion powder. I swear, that combination can improve ANYTHING.
TIPS
If your rice is burnt, you did not add enough water. If you are confident that you added enough in this batch, try adding another ¼ cup of liquid when you try again.
TIPS
If your rice is hard, you might not have cooked it long enough. Check and make sure that you set your pressure cooker to HIGH. If your rice needs more time, cook it for another few minutes.
TIPS
If you have watery rice, try cooking your rice for a few extra minutes until the extra water is soaked up.
