    The Instant Pot is a game changer in my house. It's not just great for meals, it's great for meal prep and it makes ah-mazing rice. Here's an easy, foolproof way to make Instant Pot brown basmati rice. The real key to this recipe is adding just a touch of olive oil and salt to the water before cooking.

    Gather up your ingredients.

    Ingredients for Instant Pot brown basmati rice

    Rinse the rice! When you rinse rice before you cook it, you remove surface starches from the grain. These starches can gum up your rice and cause it to become sticky while cooking and then cook unevenly.

    Add the rinsed rice, olive oil, and salt to the instant pot. Stir.

    Add ingredients to the Instant Pot

    Seal the pot and set to cook on high pressure for 24 minutes. Be sure the vent is sealed.

    Allow for a natural release and then fluff with a fork.

    To store the rice, allow it to cool and then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 6 days.
