Brown rice in Instant Pot

[123LuckyMom]

I used to cook it all the time, but we haven't had brown rice in a while, and I can't remember my water to rice ratio or timing for brown rice. I had figured out a different ratio/timing than that recommended by the Instant Pot manual, but I can't remember anymore! Help, please!

I do 1 cup brown rice to 1 1/4 cups water (and a pinch of salt) for 22 minutes, natural release. HTH!

I haven't tried either of these but here are two of my favorite food bloggers and their methods. Maybe one is similar to yours?

Yesterday, I did rinsed brown rice 1:1 with water. Rice button.

I do this, but just double the amounts (2 cups brown rice, 2 1/2 cups water), 22 minutes on high, 10 minute natural release. It takes 45 minutes total (including time to come up to pressure) and is perfect every time.

Okay! I'm trying this now, because I know I didn't ever use a 1:1 ratio. I'll let you know how it comes out.

I'm making this, by the way, which I've made a couple of times with white rice and is incredibly delicious!!! The whole family gobbled it up last time, and it's a good potluck/new family dish. It's from Skinnytaste, my new favorite source for recipes:

I did 1:1.25 for 22 minutes. The rice was very slightly wetter than I'd like for plain eating, but it was great for the dish I made. I do like my rice pretty dry. Next time I might go for 24 minutes or do just a bit less water.
