Perfect Pressure Cooker Brown Rice

Yield:  6 cups

Approximate Total Time:  55 minutes 

Electric Pressure Cooker Size:  6 quarts

2 cups long grain brown rice

2 1/2 cups water

1 tsp. Kosher salt*
1 Tbsp. butter*

Measure rice into a 2-qt. bowl and cover with cold water.  Swish with your fingers to remove starch.  Drain, and continue rinsing the rice using this process until the water is clear.  Drain. Place all ingredients into the pressure cooker pot; stir.  Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to Sealing. Select PRESSURE COOK (Manual) and cook for 24 minutes on High pressure.  Once the 24-minute cooking cycle is complete, select CANCEL or unplug the unit. (This will turn off the pressure cooker as any extra heat can cause the rice to stick.) Allow the pressure to release naturally, which will take about 15 minutes. Remove lid, fluff with fork, and serve.

*Salt and butter are optional or can be adjusted as desired.

Note: Use a standard dry measuring cup for the rice and a glass liquid measuring cup for the water.
