Quick Parboiled Rice 2 Qt Pressure Cooker Recipes

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."

Entered for safe-keeping. From Kuhn-Rikon's instruction manual (15 psi cooker). K-R specifies a different cooking time and rice:water ratio for different types of rice. This recipe includes none of the additional seasonings associated with risotto, it simply describes how to cook this type of rice by itself. Note: add rice only after water has come to a rolling boil. This recipe steams the rice on LOW pressure. If making larger amounts, be mindful of the max fill level (for grains: 1/2 full). Per Wikipedia, "the principal varieties used in Italy are Arborio, Baldo, Carnaroli, Maratelli, Padano, Roma, and Vialone Nano. Carnaroli, Maratelli and Vialone Nano are considered to be the best (and most expensive) varieties, with different users preferring one over another. They have slightly different properties. For example, Carnaroli is less likely than Vialone Nano to get overcooked, but the latter, being smaller, cooks faster and absorbs condiments better. Other varieties like Roma, Baldo, Ribe and Originario may be used but will not have the creaminess of the traditional dish. These varieties are considered better for soups and other non-risotto rice dishes and for making sweet rice desserts. Rice designations of Superfino, Semifino and Fino refer to the size and shape (specifically the length and the narrowness) of the grains, and not the quality." Don't use any larger cooker pot than you need, or it will take much longer to come up to pressure.

Plain brown rice, if you have taken the time to soak the brown rice for best results. From my Kuhn Rikon instruction manual (15 psi pressure cooker). If you increase the amounts, do not exceed the 1/2 full mark on your pressure cooker pan. Kuhn Rikon strongly recommends cooking grains on LOW pressure (actually "MEDIUM" pressure of 10 psi per Miss Vickie, but K-R has only 2 settings so one is HIGH of 15 psi, and the other is LOW of 10 psi) so the rice won't burn on the bottom; it's more like steaming. I have made separate recipes for unsoaked brown rice and parboiled brown rice, because there are differences between the rice:water ratios and cooking times. If you have a different brand cooker, please consult your manual for recommended cooking time. Updated 4/10/14: made with 2 cups rice and 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth in K-R Duromatic Top 3-L pressure cooker; added second burner grate after pressure was reached and had few adjustments to make (my stove runs hot). It took about 7 minutes for pressure to fall completely. There was a little unabsorbed liquid left, which I cooked off at Simmer setting. Note that using 10 psi is less likely to clog the safety valve.

Plain brown rice, if you don't have time to pre-soak the rice, from Kuhn Rikon's instruction manual (15 psi cooker). If you increase the amount, please make sure that you don't fill the cooker over the 1/2 mark. Kuhn Rikon strongly recommends cooking grains on LOW pressure - like steaming it; this prevents burned rice. I have made separate recipes for soaked brown rice and parboiled brown rice because there are differences in the rice:water ratios and the cooking times.

Plain parboiled brown rice, from Kuhn Rikon's instruction manual. From my Kuhn Rikon instruction manual (15 psi pressure cooker). If you increase the amounts, do not exceed the 1/2 full mark on your pressure cooker pan. Kuhn Rikon strongly recommends cooking grains on LOW pressure (8 psi) so the rice won't burn on the bottom; it's more like steaming. I have made separate recipes for soaked brown rice and unsoaked brown rice, because there are differences between the rice:water ratios and cooking times. If you have a different brand cooker, please consult your manual for recommended cooking time. Personally, I was very disappointed by Uncle Ben's parboiled brown rice (and I grew up on Uncle Ben's Converted White Rice), but I love the nutty brown rice taste of premium brown rice (using one of the other recipes). Before you decide that you "hate" brown rice, be sure to try a premium brown rice.
