For enhanced flavor, try toasting the brown rice in the Instant Pot with the oil for a few minutes before adding the water. Adjust the water ratio based on the type of brown rice used; short-grain varieties may require slightly more water. Experiment with adding herbs, spices, or a bay leaf to the cooking water for aromatic rice.

May 6, 2025The rice turned out a little mushy for me. I'll try reducing the water slightly next time.
