1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Unbroken Whole Wild Rice
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Combine the 1 cup of wild rice and 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot.
  • Select the Multigrain program, and adjust the program to "less" or "normal". See above blog post for the difference in cooking times.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot ensuring it is properly latched and the vent set to 'sealing'. Allow the Instant Pot to heat, and cook.
  • Once the Instant pot beeps indicating the cooking program is over, allow the pressure to release with the 'natural release method' Do not release the steam manually by turning the valve to 'venting'.
  • Serve the Instant Pot wild rice while hot, or cool it down and use in other recipes.

If Your Instant Pot Doesn't Have A Multigrain Setting

  • If your Instant Pot lacks the 'Multigrain' program, you can manually set the cooking time and pressure by using the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cooking' setting. Select 'normal' and then adjust the time to 28, 30, or 32 minutes depending on how well done you like your rice.
