Notes

  • Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. 
  • Recipe is made using an 8 qt pot.
  • The most obvious ingredient! Brown rice is incredibly healthy and if often chosen as the more health-conscious option over white rice. It is gluten free, high in fiber, and has no cholesterol, fat or sodium. Brown rice takes much longer to cook than white rice, making the Instant Pot the perfect choice!

  • Olive Oil: I use olive oil in the bottom of my pot just to prevent any sticking or burning. 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.
  • If you would like to make different kinds of rice in the Instant Pot (like long grain white rice), follow the graph below! 
  • Make sure to rinse your rice before cooking! 
  • While this recipe is labeled as an Instant Pot recipe, it will work in any electric pressure cooker you have. 
  • Feel free to sub in chicken broth instead of water. This will provide a little more flavor to your Brown Rice.
