Quick Parboiled Rice - 2-Qt. Pressure Cooker

Submitted by KateL

"Works better than my Aroma rice cooker (no burnt rice), and done in 10 minutes. Following recommended time from Kuhn Rikon, this worked perfectly for me. It will keep my dog happy, as she thinks plain rice with "chicken broth gravy" makes her dry dog food gourmet. It will also serve us anytime we need "cooked rice.""

 

• Ready In: 13mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Yields: 3 cups
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 1 cup parboiled rice, rinsed and drained

directions

1. In pressure cooker, pour in water and bring it to a rolling boil.
2. Pour in well-drained rice, stir well.
3. Secure lid, and bring to low pressure (8 psi). Once pot has reached low pressure, adjust heat to stabilize at low pressure. (My stove runs hot for a simmer, so I press the steam valve of my Kuhn Rikon p.c. lid to keep the pressure at 1 bar.) Once low pressure has been reached, begin timing for 6 minutes and cook for 6 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Let pressure reduce naturally (this will absorb some of the excess water, if any).
5. Remove lid, and serve.
