10 instant pot rice recipes

This collection of 8 Instant Pot Rice Recipes for Every Mealtime ranges from beginner to an advanced level of cooking. It's amazing how much you can do with Instant Pot from making Yogurt to Pressure-Cooking.

It's been 3 years now since I'm using Instant Pot. And since then I have been turning all of my recipes into an Instant Pot version. There is nothing that you cannot make in an Instant Pot. If you're looking for more Instant Pot Recipes then CLICK HERE .

Instant Pot has replaced my stovetop pressure cooker, yogurt maker, slow cooker, and rice maker. With Instant Pot 7-in-1/9-in1/or 10-in1 you can make Boiled Eggs, Baked Potatoes, Spaghetti/Noodles, Yogurt, Cake, and all pressure-cooking recipes. These rice recipes are full of flavors, but you can also serve them with some curries to make into a perfect meal.

STOVE-TOP COOKING vs. INSTANT POT COOKING

I have been using Stove-Top Pressure Cooker for ages, and Indian cooking is incomplete without a pressure cooker. I used to make lentils, boil beans & chickpeas, make curries using my Stove-Top Pressure Cooker.

Now I make everything in my Instant Pot with ease. I put food in my Instant Pot and meanwhile finish my household chores. Another added advantage of using Instant Pot that I like the most is an auto-shut option. Once the timer is beeps, Instant Pot automatically shuts the cycle, and layover time displays on the screen.
