I have to dispute your dispute, I wonder if you might be doing it wrong? I thought the same thing until I tried precisely following the rice cooking instructions for instant pot. You have to use a lot less water in the instant pot that you would in a rice cooker because it's not loosing water to steam.
To me there is no contest, instant pot is a much better rice cooker - faster, more energy efficient and most importantly better texture. We got rid of our rice cooker once we figured that out.
I remember in Jiro Dreams of Sushi they use an ad-hoc pressure cooker to make the rice, so I think there really might be something to cooking rice under pressure that improves it.
Haven't tried the pot-in-pot method yet, but that's meant to be even better.
- Zircom 4y agoHow much water do you use then if not the recommended amount?
- leetrout 4y agoNot OP but white rice in instant pot is 1:1 rice to water. For brown rice i use a bit more water. Maybe 1:1.25 rice to water.
- aussieshibe 4y agoAre you measuring volume or weight? That doesn't sound like anywhere near enough water to me. I do roughly 1 cup of jasmine rice to 1.5 cups of water in my instant pot, comes out perfect every time.
- leetrout 4y agoVolume and I often do jasmine rice as well. 1 cup of water, 1 cup of rice and cooked on the rice setting.
- elevaet 4y ago1:1 volumetrically is about the ratio I use as well with great success 1:1.5 sounds like a very mushy rice. Horses for courses I suppose.
- aussieshibe 4y agoMushy rice is best rice. Plus if you can hydrate while you eat, it's more efficient!
