Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot In Pot Rice

Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot In Pot Rice is great when you want to cook rice, right in the serving bowl or, if you want to cook rice, along with your main course, but in a separate vessel.

This Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot In Pot Rice is wonderful when you just want to make a couple bowls of rice using the Pot in Pot Method.

These directions and method are also terrific for all your favorite Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker recipes that have a less than 10 minute cook time.

A great example would be Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli. What a time saver to make your main course and your rice at the same time!

 

White Rice, Jasmine, Basmati, all work well. Did you know that those little plastic looking cups that come with Rice Makers, most Pressure Cookers and Instant Pots are called “rice” cups and are specifically for measuring rice? They are not standard 8 oz measuring cups. They measure 6 oz of dry rice.

So, when I talk about “rice” cups, I am talking about a 6 oz rice cup. Think of it this way, so you don’t get confused.

A coffee cup can be any size, right? You would not use your favorite coffee cup to measure and assume it is a standard 8 oz dry or wet measuring cup. The coffee cup I use in the morning holds 10 oz of liquid. Okay, so, now you now. A “rice” cup is just that…a vessel for measuring rice.

 

This is the Tall Legged Trivet I use for “Pot in Pot” Rice when cooking my rice with another recipe. The legs are almost three inches tall and fits over food I am cooking in the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker cooking pot.

So, for example again, if you want to make rice at the same time that you cook Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli, you would use the Tall Legged Trivet and add the pan of rice, right on top. When using this Pot In Pot Method on top of your entrée, so not add the additional water, which you only use if you are just making rice in the pot.

It’s really simple. Rice, Salt and Pressure Cooker Bone Broth, or water! If you want more flavor to your rice, try my Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice for a toasted and buttery experience, or Pressure Cooker Thai Triple Coconut Rice. Both of those are really delicious.

 

Place your rice in a Salbree Steamer Basket and rinse under cool water, until the water runs clear.

I love to use Jasmine rice, but any white rice will be awesome in the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Ninja Foodi.

 

I like to use a steamer basket when making Pressure Cooker Jasmine Rice, so that I can heat my Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker while the rice is draining.

Plus, this Salbree Steamer Basket does double duty. It’s great for cooking vegetables. It is great for cooking pasta, so that I can lift the basket right out of the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker.

No need for a separate plastic rice washer basket accessory!

 

If you make a double recipe of rice, make sure to use the Short Legged Stainless Steel Steaming Rack/Trivet, instead of the Stainless Steel Tall Legged Trivet.

I highly recommend either the set of Ekovana Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Stackable Pans Set The Pans are flat and make for very even cooking.

The Ekovana Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Stackable Pans Set set is works really well for PIP Potatoes, Vegetables,  my Choco-Spice Layer Cake and more. They are also great for desserts like my Egg Cupcake Frittatas, Pressure Cooker Grandma’s Quick Egg Custard and more!

Add in the fresh water. If you want to use Broth or other flavorings, that is fine.

For perfect rice, use the measurements in the recipe. If you want a firmer rice, use a tad less water. If you want a softer rice, use a tad more water.

You will notice the water amount is less than if you cooked the rice directly in the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker cooking pot.

That is because you need to take into account the condensation from the water below the trivet. You don’t want mushy rice. 🙂

Glass and Pyrex pans don’t work as well, as they need a longer cooking time.

 

Place the Tall Legged Trivet into the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker cooking pot and place the pan of rice on top.

 

 

Place the Pot in Pot Pan of rice on top of the Tall Legged Trivet and you are ready to cook.
