How to make pot-in-pot rice in the Instant Pot--Instant Pot Tips

How to make pot-in-pot rice in your Instant Pot--this method for cooking rice is perfect when you want to cook rice, along with your main dish, but in a separate vessel.
Today I'm showing you a trick I use all the time! Making rice in my Instant Pot at the same time as something else. The rice turns out great and you don't need to get out a separate pot to cook the rice on the stove. Winning!
If you'd like to see more of my Instant Pot KZbin videos make sure to subscribe to my channel bit.ly/2x3YfZb . I post a new Instant Pot video every Tuesday.
We'd love to see you over in our 365 Days of Instant Pot Recipes facebook group as well. / 2141251326087178
Pot in Pot Cooking Tips:
White Rice, Jasmine, Basmati, all work well for recipes that call for less than a 15 minute cooking time.
Brown Rice and Wild Rice are sturdier and take longer to cook. If your recipe calls for at least a 22 minute cooking time you can use one of these types of rice.
If your rice isn't quite done when you open the pot then cover the rice and allow the rice to steam, while you are tending to your main course.
See the printable rice cooking chart (www.365daysofc...) for rice to water ratios and cooking times. If you like a firmer rice, use less water. If you want a softer rice, use more water. I'd start experimenting with just a tablespoon at a time.
I like to use my stainless steel pan* (amzn.to/2AAH5at) to cook my rice in. Sometimes I use a Fat Daddios cake pan* (amzn.to/2EH7OR8). Glass and Pyrex pans don’t work as well, as they need a longer cooking time.
In the video I used my silicone sling from the OXO brand* (amzn.to/2STGtEX). It's my favorite!

Another excellent tutorial! Even though I’ve been using an instant pot for almost 2 years, I’m learning tons of stuff from your fantastic channel. Thank you very much! 💐

[@karenc.3689]

Thank You. Really love the rice cooking time cheat sheet. Will come in really handy.

[@isabelespinoza2394]

Can you please show more videos recipes cook using the pot-in-pot in instant pot. Please. Thank you 😊. 👍👍🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Great idea. Love having rice done when the entree is done. Thanks.

[@semco72057]

That is a nice idea and does save time when preparing a meal. I have to try making rice dishes using the method you spoke of and see how they turn out.

Looking forward to your Garlic Parmesan Bacon Chicken dish on page 166. I going to make my wife’s world a little difficult. She typically finds one dish that she enjoys and sticks with 90% of the time. Your book has so many great dishes she will have a hard time choosing a favorite.😍😜😍 Thanks. Be Well and Good Journey Richie

This looks so good! I just did a broccoli cheddar soup in the Instant Pot over on my channel! Love seeing how others use their pressure cooker! Yummy!! 🍰💕Maria

Can you put a small IP container/bowl (ceramic) inside a bigger IP bowl?

[@kinglord5429]

I'm wondering trying pot in pot. Bottom pot will hold halved sweet potatoes sprinkled with cinnamon and some bourbon and pat of butter. Top will hold baby carrots sprinkled with cinnamon and pat of butter using steam lid. Each will be served in a bowl with the bourbon/butter mix poured over sweet potatoes. .

[@MMH21998]

Thank you for this thorough explanation, Karen! I followed my first PIP rice recipe and the recipe called for less water and the steam function. Needless to say, it was a total flop. I’m definitely going to give your method a try. I have a question about the time in the video vs. on the chart; If I’m making long grain rice by itself, I’d use the 3 minutes from the chart, right?

[@NaturalSilverSista]

Thx for the recipe! Do you just sit the trivet & pot directly on top of the chicken (or whatever you're cooking) w/o anything separating them?

What kind of gloves are you using in the video or do you have any recommendations for gloves? Thanks. Great videos!

Would it be possible to use your pot in pot recipe with your chicken adobo recipe?

[@dougharlow6037]

I have the instant pot 8 qt. duo nova. I don’t have the pot n pot. I tried your recipe for short grain rice, 1 cup rice, 1-1/2 cup of water, 8 minutes with a 10-minute release time. The rice come out mushy. I tried 1 cup rice, “1-1/4” cup of water, 8 minutes with a “12”-minute release time and still mushy. What am I doing wrong? Should I cut back more on the water? Thanks. What size is your instant pot?

Thank you .. Mixed was a disaster 😬

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Karen, I have a question; I made your recipe for enchilada chicken and rice tonight. It was good however I got the burn message when the pot was ready to start the slow release. Now, I have to tell you tat I used everything that you have in the recipe + I added a can of diced tomatoes, a can of chopped chili peppers. I didn’t think that would make that big of a difference. Could the burn notice have been because the rice went in first before the liquids and no stirring? I shut it off right away and it wasn’t burnt just brown on the bottom and everything was cooked and very good. Help, what did I do?

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Thank you. I was going to try this next, had I not heard from you. Love your videos and I just joined the FB group and I love it, Thanks.

[@adande1]

Thanks for the great tips on cooking pot in pot rice. Did you let it naturally release for a few minutes before doing a quick release and opening lid or did you quick release as soon as your 10 minutes were up?

[@TeamFish15]

It looked like she released after 7 minutes of natural release.

[@adande1]

Thanks Karen😃

Question. I put rice and water in a pan without a lid on a sling and water in the IP as if there was chicken in the bottom. Rice came out uncooked in the water. I see videos using a lid on the inner pot and others off. What am I doing wrong?

[@thekat268]

@@karenbellessapeterse Thank you for replying. I followed fhe recipe for Basmati rice. Soaked it 15 min prior, cooked for 4 min, natural release fully. I saw later that you should add time because the food isnt in contact with the pot's surface. The mystery was seeing recipes where it was done both ways. How much time shld I add to rice? Do I add even more time if there is a lid on it with stacked holders? I hv been bragging to my husband abt what can be done in the IP and now he thinks I'm deranged.

[@bonnie_gail]

you are showing it without anything else in the pot; what happens if the pot with the rice sitting on top of the chicken is over the safe mark; I tried this and the pot with the rice was over the safe mark, I did not attempt it because it seemed unsafe

[@TinaRice4]

Is the Instant Pot you are using in this video a 6 quart? TY!

How did the chicken turn out?

[@ruthranieri9268]

[@gdhall4092]

Per her cheat sheet it is 25 mins and full natual release, 3 cups of water 1 cup of wild rice
