Liked and subscribed! First time making this rice. My grandma made it my whole life.. now I’ve got an instant pot and I’m excited to taste

[@shelly7017]

Good morning Deb, it's 6 am here in Vermont. I recently watched your video on making this rice on the stove top. I was thrilled to see this instant pot version pop up on my feed. I will definitely try making it. I've always used the 1 to 1 ratio with water and jasmine rice with a 4 minute cook time and a 10 minute wait time before releasing the rest of the pressure. I always turn the keep warm button off before I start the cooking time because it turns the burner off completely. I'm dreaming of eating some of those beans you had bubbling away on the stove. Thank you for sharing this video Deb, I really enjoyed it. 🫂

Your welcome

[@jcar287]

I have my own recipe similar to this but never made it in an instant pot. If you like your rice a little more on the dry side, not dirt dry just dryer lol. I did a 1:2 ratio, 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. I cooked it on high pressure for 6 minutes, another 6 minutes on low heat or natural release whatever you call it. It came out perfect 👌🏽

Hello Ms. Deb, I have been searching for an Instant Pot Mexican Rice recipe, and I found your channel yesterday. I had most ingredients on hand, but only had long grain rice, so that is what I used. I made this rice today (04/19/22), and it came out perfect. I followed your instructions and used the liquid measuring cup, so used 5 cups of salt-free chicken broth and 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon because I did not have Knorrs. Thank you for the recipe and tutorial.

I also use long grain rice as well as Jasmine which is Also delicious! WELCOME !

I can’t make rice to save my life and it drives me crazy! I have tried so many recipes and methods and still can’t get it right. Some of the rice (in the same batch) is mushy and some is crunchy. I live at 5000 feet above sea level and I don’t know if that the a factor. I’ll give yours a try. Thank you for this video.❤

[@In_DebsKitchen]

Thank you and I haven't tried it but I'm kinda curious now 🤔

[@lbchristensen8732]

Deb, I have a question do you use the same pot for everything in your instant pot. or do you have other pots for each dish you make. I only have one pot insert, and i' only use it for ribs.I was always told to use different insert for different foods. because the smell will come out in other foods. now remember I'm still learn. I made be old but i want to learn. So thank you for teaching and helping me.

[@In_DebsKitchen]

I use the same pot for everything. I think what might make it smell is the rubber seal so if you change that out every once in a while you should be fine. I also spray the seal and clean it whenever I'm done making something that has a strong smell and let it air out.

[@lbchristensen8732]

Thank you.

[@homehelpheart7440]

Hi Deb and thanks so much for this super easy recipe! I'd have to go back and watch it again to be sure, but I thought you said you were putting cilantro in it at the beginning and then I didn't see you put cilantro so maybe you were talking about cumin?

[@In_DebsKitchen]

I meant cumin,😄 When I rewatch my tapings I often see where I meant one thing and said another!🙄 I usually catch it,and if I don't my camera/ editing guy should!🤪

[@webcrawler3332]

Do set your instant pot to low pressure or high pressure for the 5 min?

[@In_DebsKitchen]

High pressure

[@jesuschild515]

Can I use the chicken buillion cubes and if so, how many and would it change the flavor too much? Thanks

[@In_DebsKitchen]

I'm sure you can use the boullion cubes I would probably use 3 since I used three tablespoons of the knorr powder. My only concern is that I don't know how it will dilute in the instant pot without stirring it. So what I would advise is to heat one cup of your liquid in the microwave dissolving the bouillon first ,before adding it into the instant pot. I have found even with a powder that if I don't stir it it will concentrate in one spot and make my rice salty. Let me know how that works for you.

[@jesuschild515]

@@In_DebsKitchen Thanks. I will try this and let you know.

[@jesuschild515]

I disolved 3 cubes in water first to make chicken broth and stirred in all my liquids and seasonings before pressure cooking. I cooked on the rice setting for 10 minutes and slow released for 13 minutes. It's really good.

Hi Deb, I LOVE mexican rice and when i cook it on the stove i burn it every time. So i got an IP and my first time cooking it. I did different on the water, and since my kids love it i made 2 cups rice but used 2.5 cups water. It came out so sticky and dry but the rice was moise and cooked. So should i use more water? Definitely note 1-3 i think it would be way to much. I also used my IP Rice button and instant release once it was done. Any advise?

Hello QUESTION? I need to make 12 cups of finished mexican rice. Can I cook six cups of rice with 18 cups of water in an instant pot? or will in need to do this in batches?

[@In_DebsKitchen]

I have never done it like that amount especially in the instant pot which can be fickle I would suggest you be safe and make it in batches especially when there's such a quantity that you do not want to potentially ruin.

[@jericapaliga7711]

Thank you for sharing this!! I just made it following the directions but it’s still coming out really watery.. it’s been on the low pressure for 20 min and still watery.. is that normal or did I mess it up 😅

[@In_DebsKitchen]

You might be cooking it too low . You need to put it at a med low simmer that still has some bubbles, it has to be a notch higher than gently bubbling. Try making it again but try urning up the heat a little higher than what you have been using . Sometimes it's trial-and-error before you get it right, don't give up you will get it if you keep trying ...and like I said use a liquid measure for 5 cups of water &2 cups of rice.In my video I use the same dry cup measure for rice to measure out water, but I should just specify that those 6 cups of water I'm using in the dry measure cup is equal to 5 liquid measure cup, hope that makes sense. If not stay tuned I'm going to remake.

[@In_DebsKitchen]

Hurry I thought you were referring to the rice I made the stove but if you make instant pot rice leave it for 6-7 minutes then quick release but leave covered about6-10 min. It could also depend on your instant pot so if it comes watery try cooking it for 7 minutes and then quick release but leave it covered for about 8 minutes or so 8 minutes or so before you open it you have to also keep experimenting!don't give up

[@rickrock93277]

I have the same issue. 6 cups of water, dry or wet it’s the same measurement. That is just confusing.

[@mariekourtelidis3045]

I think she said 2 cups of rice to 6 cups of water. I think that's too much water! I do 2 c rice e for 3 c of water.

[@mikeb6389]

Knor products contain lots of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and many people are allergic to MSG. Use home made Chicken stock and spices.

[@In_DebsKitchen]

That is certainly an option for those with concerns, I often use my homemade chicken broth when I have it on hand.

[@its_so_edna]

Have you ever made this in just a regular rice cooker?

[@etiopisk4life]

Soggy rice, wtf!!

[@In_DebsKitchen]

You must have had flame to low? Most have reported success, but even I had instances in the beginning, when it came out soggy because I failed to let it reach a rolling boil before I turned it down, to allow boil before setting 20 minute timer. Then remove from heat covered about 10 minutes then uncovering. The liquid absorbs as it sits. Do not uncover or stir while boiling. Make sure it is above a simmer, and you see gentle bubbling action while it is cooking. Practice makes perfect. I assure you most people report success making it.
