The above is an affiliate link and I may receive a small commission.
There was no one particular recipe that I used but pulled from several. Key points are:
1 cup of rice to 1 cup of cold water
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.
Natural release for 10 minutes.
Vent release and once machines states open lid, open the lid and fluff the rice.
This rice is so nice and fluffy and not sticky.

I'm thinking some red beans and a batch of cornbread would be great with this. Thanks for the video Cathy, I love the Instant Pot tutorials - still waiting to purchase but maybe for Christmas. I've got your pot roast recipe going right now in my slow cooker 😉

[@myhobbyhomelife]

I made the cornbread off camera and it was all so delicious!

Great video. I'm using the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Duo Crisp Pro with crisp lid. I have live in mobile homes and enjoyed it. I could not tell by your kitchen that it was a mobile home. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Have a blessed day. 😊

Thanks for sharing!

I am looking at the instant pot RIO wide plus and the RIO wide like yours. I am a novice when it comes to cooking with these tools and was wondering what your thoughts were as to which one would be the best option. I found your channel yesterday and I am so enjoying watching and learning from you.

[@myhobbyhomelife]

Thank you. The one I have is the Instant Pot Rio Wide Plus. So far, I have loved it. I "boil" eggs in it every week and it is so easy. I am learning so many things I can do with the IP.

[@michaelmattichiii1595]

Cathy are there any accessories for this ?

[@myhobbyhomelife]

You can use the same accessories as the regular instant pot. The main things I use are the rack and a small springform pan.

That scoop is one cup? Um, no!

[@myhobbyhomelife]

Actually it is. I thought the same thing when I got it so I measured out in the scoop and poured it over into another dry measuring cup. I was shocked too.

Really loving these videos about the wide Rio, I am really wanting to get one. I love pressure cooking especially this time of year. Great video!

[@myhobbyhomelife]

Thank you! I am really loving the IP Rio. There is a bit of trial and error with it since I have never had an IP.

[@ShyraR]

I ordered one and it's great! It's large and does it all! You'll truly enjoy it!

LOL! As usual, I didn't finish your video before replying...yes, red beans and rice! So, have you tried the slow cooker function yet? I love my slow cooker basically because I like the aroma for hours on end with the pot roast and stews. I start off with a 5 to 6 pound rump roast and put carrots on the bottom with a pack of onion soup mix, then the roast. Cook that for 4 hours then add in a pack of brown gravy and onions then cook that for another 8 hours. First meal is roast, carrots, green beans (I don't cook those with the roast) and garlic bread. 2nd feasting (sandwiches) - I put the roast back in the crock pot and shred it, add Italian dressing and pepperoncini and cook for another couple of hours OR Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce so everything melds together. That gets served on grilled hot dog buns with chips as the side. 3rd feasting (stew) - If there any left overs, it goes back into the crock pot with a bag of frozen all vegetable mix, a large can of tomato sauce if it was BBQ or a packet of brown gravy mix and 2 cups of broth if it was Italian roast, cook it for an hour and serve with either biscuits or cornbread. 4th feasting with crossing eyes from all the roast - If there's any left over from the stew I add mac & cheese and make soup. Have I mentioned I love pot roast? Closely followed by ham and beans and red beans and rice. Oh my! Guess I grew up in the south!

I did try the slow cooker function yesterday and actually just loaded the video to start editing.

[@aperson1181]

can you set temp on yogurt function to 98, 99, or 100F ?

[@myhobbyhomelife]

It looks like this is low, medium or high. The owners manual gives instructions on the different yogurts and settings.

[@defnastys8117]

Informative! Love the shirt!!!

[@myhobbyhomelife]

Thank you for watching!

[@Andrew-hx9tz]

[@myhobbyhomelife]

Thank you. I think so too.
