[@seesterran3822]

I like that you talk and explain during your video, not just video with music. I like that you take the time to answer comments and questions. I love your hair! 👍

[@JessicaRiddy]

Aww thanks!! I work hard on providing as much value as I can in each video, thank you for your kind encouragement & comments! ♥️ xo

[@dkyelak]

Saw the same method and time on a different video and this confirms it. I tried it and it was perfect. Thank you!

[@rachelmcquality1017]

I found this recipe to be the actual thing I was looking for. It went perfectly in the insta pot. ❤️❤️

[@AlexBlueYoga]

*Finally* using the Instantpot I years ago, discovered at my dad's house (brand new, never used) and loving it! Thank you for sharing! I am going to make some quinoa now to have ready for dinner tonight. 💙🧘‍♀️💫

Hello, I'm going to try my dog, who has allergies, and now is doing great on home made dog food. I haven't eaten quinoa in ages..but have some sealed in ball jars. I want to slowly introduce my dog to grains in her new food..which right now is salmon, sardine, veggies and supplements..all organic and natural. I'm going to use quinoa because I think it will be better than brown rice and more nutrias for her and agree with her. Since I've read quinoa is not so much considered a grain quit like rice. I never gave her grains when she was on kibble...kibble is such garbage for my little Daisy and totally doesn't agree with her allergic body. Now she's pretty well detoxed and nearly no itching, hair growing back...doing great. She needs some carbs to maintain a good weight...so quinoa is going to be tested. Home made grains are a completely different animal compared to the junk food, adulterated grains in dog food. So I'm pretty sure they will agree with her. I will see. I have several instant pots and use them daily pretty much so. Thank you for the easy IP recipe.

Perfect first time!! One minute cook 16 minutes set. Thanks !!

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yay! So happy to hear! Thanks for sharing ♥️

[@cbmcrae09]

I was cooking it like rice and it was so mushy I stopped eating it, but with your recipe it came out perfect! 😋😋😋

[@JessicaRiddy]

So glad you liked it!!

[@kathiagrijalba1865]

Hi 👋🏽, Just followed this recipe for my husband and I . I had to taste test beforehand and this was delicious! I also doubled the recipe. Thank you so much . 💚, Kathia

[@PatriceHeadington]

Perfect! Just made it. So fluffy!!

[@jyothsnasastry9387]

Works like magic 😀 Thanks so much for sharing this here so others like me can benefit from watching this. Cooked to perfection 👌

[@user-uv6of3ul3b]

Perfect size for party of 8 or just 2. Very cool features, very sturdy.

[@nelsonneves8867]

This is the only way I make quinoa now, Thank you!

[@kellyschaefer1710]

I would love more basics like this.

[@JessicaRiddy]

Thank you! I will have more coming :)

[@idalmiscooks4u]

Voy hacer guacho de jamón con frijoles y en vez de arroz le voy añadir quinoa! Great video. I normally make my quinoa on my rice cooker but instant pot is winning with the cooking timing for both 👍

[@baggerbob4374]

I'm trying to be more healthy and eat healthier. I was skeptical about quinoa, but your recipe was amazing! It came out perfectly just like you said it would! Thank you very much!

[@AlexQ]

Thank you! Can’t wait to try this easy to learn recipe. 😇

[@katiem6773]

Nice simple recipe..thanks Jessica, just what I was looking for...

[@JessicaRiddy]

So happy to hear it! ♥️

[@patriciacarroll2804]

Perfectly cooked. Thanks

[@divineunion]

I finally used my instant pot. This is the 1st thing I tried. I noticed that the floqt alve didn't drop, but when I touched it, it did drop... I moved the steam release handle to vent and could tell it was done as there was very little steam coming out.. my quinoa seemed a tad wet but still cooked. Will definitely try again..

[@marvingates3045]

By the way, tried this recipe and it turned out perfect. Thanks, I can't wait to try adding salsa and peppers to it.

[@JessicaRiddy]

So glad you enjoyed! You'll love the salsa Mexican-style quinoa!

[@klopke36]

Thx for this recipe

[@aileendq]

1:1 ratio works better. Otherwise you'll get a very runny/mushy quinoa. Make sure to REALLY shake that water out after rinsing - I use a fine mesh strainer. I also spray some olive oil on the bottom of the pot and release about 7-8 minutes. The quinoa should not stick together at all - the individual gains should have a TINY bit of firmness. I've basically replaced my rice with quinoa (with a very few exceptions).

[@allentenderfoot8712]

Yummy. Thank you 😊

[@seancambern1235]

WoW! What a great instructional video! It's easy to follow, with good visuals, and it gives all the information needed without running too long. Thanks! I'm definitely subscribing. :0)

[@vickigallo2378]

Thks

[@jerrykitich3318]

Love the hat and the quinoa.

[@thebrain678]

I came for the recipe but stayed for Jessica

[@danaroy8596]

Have to try this. I have done stovetop no issues, but it's nice to set and forget. Do other stuff while it cooks. Are you using 1 dry cup of quinoa? Wanna try this but wanna make sure i do it right.

[@minute32]

I'm new to this😭 but if I want to do 2 cups of quinoa, should I double the water to 3 cups? Thank you!

[@DESDallasTX]

Do I need to adjust liquid if I want to add several herbs?

[@Chitukuravi]

it was perfect! thanks

[@bytienl]

Question: when the high pressure is done it goes to keep warming during thr natural pressure release.. or do I need to set my ip to off and than npr?

[@doulabug2]

@JessicaRiddy I have a recipe that calls for 2 cups of cooked quinoa. How many cups of cooked quinoa does this recipe make?

[@tntwashpro3863]

Do I double the water?

[@georgeasafo]

Perfect!

[@aaaproject]

This is my go to recipe! :)

[@elizabethc.z]

Tried this yesterday, but I found that my quinoa ended up slightly mushy. It stayed on keep warm for about 30 minutes. Not sure if this could have affected it. This was my first time using my instant pot. I think next time I'll try 1 1/4 cup water instead.

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yes it may have affected it’s moisture content since it’s staying warm longer.. It’s a little trial and error learning curve, but glad you tried your first recipe yay!! I have a ton of other basics you can try on my channel, happy cooking :)

[@danicaatchley483]

Perfect! Thank you

[@pboxelement]

Thank you

[@babandeeprathore]

Thanks!

[@kiddougblast]

great. how about for 2 cups, what will be the water?

[@conniecoffman2699]

Why does my insta pot not have a pressure cook button?!?! Is it still going to work on manual for 1 min?

[@clrkkdd12]

Thanks

[@MoE-il8yw]

NICE!!

[@clrkkdd12]

Excellent 👊🏽

[@navajomandi]

Recipe for chicken broth please:]

[@JessicaRiddy]

Thanks! Recipe will be up soon! :)

[@yeyajuarez1637]

Video of different way to cook Quinoa please

[@kevinmorenoquiles]

Hi, I loved the video. Thank you so much. For NR do you press cancel? Because mine was like 20min and I was afraid o open it

[@JessicaRiddy]

Thank you! Yes, that's right just press cancel and wait till the red pressure button goes down on its own. Don't be scared to open if the pressure is all gone!

[@govindaescobar8902]

When would you add veggies, like before or after the pressure cooking?

[@JessicaRiddy]

When I make quinoa with mixed frozen veggies, for example, I add them in together with the quinoa + liquid and cook at the same time. No changes needed for the cook time 👌🏽

[@katherineborrero2780]

Did exactly what you did, not sure why mine came out mushy? Even after the minute pressure cook and natural release there was so much liquid remaining. Any suggestions?

[@aileendq]

Way too much water. The ratio is 1:1.

[@renanuneza8932]

So do you have release the lid after 1min? Or just let it warm up for a couple of min?

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yes after the one minute is up, just let the pressure release on it own. It takes about 5-8 minutes. Open the lid only when all the pressure has been released. Hope that helps!

[@10GolDenHeaRts]

Anyone know how long I would leave it in if made with a rice cooker ??

[@SriSri-ei1yi]

Do we need to soak quinoa before hand? Or just give it a wash and cook?

[@aileendq]

No need, but rinse well using a fine mesh strainer then really shake to get the water out. Otherwise the saponins on the quinoa (which actually a seed but classified as a grain) will give it a bitter taste.

[@boobsax]

[@yummycakes4422]

Hello my is oldest so what shall I do

[@angelinafl2427]

I want your chicken broth recipe

[@JessicaRiddy]

Coming soon! Thank you :)

[@hotwireman49]

do you keep the "keep warm" on?

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yes I usually do. But it’s optional and can be turned off. All it does is keep your food warm after done cooking, I haven’t had a problem with it so far 👍🏽

[@dkyelak]

Is it the same for red quinoa? I can't find any information but have heard it may take longer.

[@JessicaRiddy]

Great question. I haven’t tried red quinoa before, but I will look into it! If you do try to put more time, I would add just 1-2 minutes?

[@dkyelak]

@@JessicaRiddy I made some the same way as regular quinoa. It is a bit firmer, but it's fine. I also learned that because it is firmer, it would work better in salads and such. I don't notice much of a flavor difference.

[@JessicaRiddy]

Nice! Thanks for sharing! I need to try this for myself.

[@miranda8405]

I can't seem to get it right! I've seen 1 minute as the standard time for instapot quinoa, but it never turns out 😥. Any sugguestions?

[@aaaproject]

I put my pot on warm before I started and added the water and vegetable juice. I used 2 cups instead of 1+1.5. After the 1 minute, the instant pot should move to keep warm automatically, do not turn it off. Hope this helps. . The only other think I can think of is to make sure the pot is on high in manual mode and not low.

[@miranda8405]

@@aaaproject Thank you! Will try putting mine on warm first next time. Appreciated :).

[@vlvr]

I use less water. Equal parts quinoa and water. Same when I cook rice.

[@christinegill3186]

Did you notice the 'keep warm' button was on the whole time, is this normal?

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yes this is normal. You can turn that off if you don’t want it. It keeps your food warm for hours after cooking 👌🏽 comes in handy sometimes, but not necessary

[@jefbiggs1583]

Can this same method work in the ninja foodie

[@JessicaRiddy]

It should! I've never tried that specific one but I imagine all pressure cookers work similarly. Let us know how it goes!

[@MR-xf8xg]

Quinoa may be higher in protein but rice is very nutritious lovely Jessica. I think this culture has told us that white rice is nothing but evil starch. That isnt even true and there are many variety of rice. I'm going to try your recipe right now. Liked and subscribed. Forgive me bec I'm sure you love it, but you are much too beautiful for bleached hair. Love you.

[@JessicaRiddy]

Yes! Completely agree, both are nutritious in different ways thank you for clarifying that! :)

[@lilikoi8888]

Does not work for red quinoa

[@cld1665]

skip to 42 sec mark,

[@kevinishki]

Wow really? One minute and let it sit for a bit. I might need a pressure cooker. I had issues with overflowing cooking alternative grains in mine, on the grain setting so I tossed it.

[@FullSend-dd6wk]

Thanks bruh

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

pronounced "keen-wa"

[@JessicaRiddy]

My Latina accent comes through sometimes oops! 😂

[@TruthFLA]

Quinoa on stove top takes the exact same time. this is not time saver IMO

[@JessicaRiddy]

Totally, it just helps me get other things done on the stove and not worry about burning it lol 🤦‍♀️😅

[@TruthFLA]

@@JessicaRiddy ok. that makes sense

[@Red-gy9gx]

You speak Spanish, your parents american born or?

[@horseman6138]

Just so you no there are 2 tees in the word button

[@SeanHavlik]

Well, that method definitely burnt all of my quinoa to the bottom of the pot, and caused my instapot to fail. Interesting.
