Notes

- Brown Rice: I would recommend rinsing your brown rice before cooking, partially because the outer layer can carry a lot of dust and germs. It can also keep your rice from getting gummy, although rinsing the rice makes a larger difference with white rice than it does with brown rice.
- Olive Oil:I often receive questions about using butter instead, but would caution against this. Butter has a lower smoke point than olive oil and we just don’t want your rice to burn.
- Water: You could use chicken broth instead of water to infuse some extra flavor into the rice.
- While this recipe is labeled as an Instant Pot recipe, it will work in any electric pressure cooker you have.
