Pink rice <\/em><\/strong>is cooked to perfection in an electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot). Pressure Cooker Pink Rice lightly milled to retain the wholesome bran but it cooks in a fraction of the time of brown rice. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Diana, a sweet Pressure Cooking Today reader, emailed me asking advice on cooking Madagascar pink rice. Diana said the package described the pink rice as having a subtly sweet flavor, elusively aromatic of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, that the rice was nutritionally dense, and milled to retain most of the bran.<\/p>\n

She wrote:<\/p>\n

I just purchased some Madagascar pink rice and for the life of me I can’t seem to find a chart that tells how long pink rice needs to cook in a pressure cooker…..would you have any idea?  I don’t want to turn it into mush and I don’t want to cook it on the stove top because rice comes out perfectly in my Instant Pot!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

I couldn’t agree more. I love cooking rice in my electric pressure. I haven’t cooked rice on the stove since I got a pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

How to Make Pink Rice in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this fluffy pink rice!<\/p>\n

The package directions said to use a 20 minute cook time on the stove, the same as long grain white rice<\/a>, so I suggested using a 3 minute cook time with a 10 minute natural release.<\/p>\n

After cooking the rice, Diana emailed me again and said the rice was really good, had a nice texture, and “it’s pretty too.” So I definitely had to find some and give it a try. I bought my pink rice at Whole Foods for about $4.00, but if you can’t find it in a store near you, you can buy it online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Diana made the rice a second time, she increased the cook time to 4 minutes and said it was perfect. I thought so too. If you’re a fan of brown rice, I think you’ll think this pretty rice is pretty perfect too.<\/p>\n
