3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Add brown rice (long grain) (1 cup brown rice, 1.25 cups water, 1:1.25 ratio) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 22 mins.
2
Pressure Cook
Cook at High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 22 mins. Use 10-minute natural release.
3
Check & Rest
Grains are chewy but fully cooked through; no hard or crunchy centers; bran layer is tender. After 10-minute natural release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Verification Basis & Testing Rig
Instant Pot Duo 6-Qt (IP-DUO60); tested with long-grain and short-grain brown rice across 4 batches.
Pro Tip: Brown rice needs more water (1:1.25) and time than white rice. Do not skip the 10-minute natural release or grains will be undercooked in the center.
