Making rice in the Instant Pot is very easy and fast. I would venture to say that after making it in your pressure cooker, you won’t go back to struggling with making it on the stove. While my husband still does enjoy making rice on the stove, I can’t remember the last time I made it without the Instant Pot. It’s probably been years. The pressure cooker just makes cooking rice incredibly convenient.
