Rice and Grains
Instant Pot’s built-in “Rice” and “Multigrain” function keys normally provide the optimal
way of cooking rice and grains. The marks on the inner pot provide a general guideline
on the total amount of grain + water. However, if you want to cook some specialty rice
or grains, please use the following grain:water ratio.
The provided measuring cup (180ml) can be used to measure the required grain to
water ratios. One cup of grain yields about one serving to one adult.
