Pressure Cooker Brown Rice

Did she really just post something this simple? Yes folks I did, because I think it's great and want to make sure you know about it too! I read a few weeks ago that someone makes a big bowl of brown rice on the weekend and leaves it in the fridge for quick meals during the week-I think that's brilliant! What's even better is using the pressure cooker, talk about an amazing consistency-flaky, fluffy single grains, not wet and mushy... and in way less than 30 minutes!
 I used my ♥4 qt electronic pressure cooker from QVC♥ and set the timer to 13 minutes. 
Gotta mention again that this is one of my favorite kitchen toys of all time. 

Pressure Cooker Brown Rice
1 C brown rice
1 1/2 C water
-Set pressure cooker to 13 minutes and let the pressure come down naturally.

Notes: 
  • You barely even need to fluff this folks, it's just beautiful. 
  • I freeze a lot of soups but don't care for frozen rice so this is perfect for adding to soup, etc. as I'm heating up my lunch for the thermos.
  • Did anyone else grow up eating rice for breakfast? Pour milk over warm rice and top with cinnamon and sugar-good stuff:@)
  • Note to self: Smallest amount = 1 C water + 2/3 C rice.
Eat well and have a happy day!

    I guess I'd better dig out the 'ol pressure cooker... I received a new one for Christmas about 10 years ago, used it a few times, then lost it to the back of the cupboard. Then it seemed like too much work to try to dig it out and relearn how to use it!

    I guess I also had better peruse the past posts with pressure cooker recipes from my 'ol friend the muddy pig!

    Blessings, Debbie

    I've heard of this before, but I haven't tried it. I need to get out my pressure cooker as well. My favorite thing about this recipe is I won't have to yell at everyone for lifting the lid on the rice while it's cooking. :-D Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for submitting your recipe to Hearth and Soul. :)

    I love my pressure cooker too and sure appreciate you sharing your uses for it. - I would like to try white rice, do you know if it would be the same amounts? I guess I could look and see if it is in the book. - When I was young, we did have rice for breakfast on very rare occasions, but it was like a side dish with cinnamon, butter and cream..Yum! xo

    Lynn,
    My mom gave me her pressure cooker a couple of years ago because she no longer uses it. I have yet to use it, (I can tomatoes and preserves with hot water bath)but plan to this year - and this would be a great way to familiarize myself with it!
    Mister does love rice.
    The breakfast idea sounds wonderful too.

    I don't own a pressure cooker any more, but they are fabulous appliances. Great idea to cook ahead for the week.

    I don't need even ONE more kitchen appliance...... but now you have me thinking about pressure cookers! Wow, thirteen minutes? Amazing!! I might have to put one of these on my "wish list"! :) You're not a very good influence on my de-cluttering, simplifying program :)

    If only my daughter hadn't ruined my pressure cooker (sigh). I love rice almost as much as I love beans and rice : )
