    How (and why) to cook rice in an Instant Pot

    The beauty of the Instant Pot is that it does so many things very well. But today I’m talking about its use as a rice cooker. I’ve owned a Zojirushi rice cooker and when I got my IP, I sold the Zojirushi immediately. The IP cooks white, brown, and wild rice perfectly, and I saw no need to have two…
