Can I cook rice with meat in an Instant Brands rice cooker?

Many people wonder if they can cook rice with meat in their Instant Brands rice cooker. The answer is yes! An Instant Pot or other multi-cooker brand can be a versatile tool for cooking all sorts of dishes, and cooking meat with your rice is just one example.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for cooking rice and meat in your Instant Brands rice cooker:

  1. Rinse the desired amount of uncooked white or brown rice and place it into the inner pot of your Instant Brands rice cooker.
  2. Add water to the inner pot according to the recommended ratio on your package of rice (usually 1:1.5 cups water to 1 cup of uncooked white rice, or 1:2 cups water to 1 cup of uncooked brown rice).
  3. Place seasoned raw meat (such as chicken, beef, or pork) on top of the uncooked rice.
  4. Close and lock the lid, ensuring that the pressure release valve is set to “sealing”.
  5. Select the “rice,” “pressure cook,” or “manual” setting on your Instant Pot, depending on your model.
  6. Set the timer for 20-25 minutes for white rice, or 35-40 minutes for brown rice (or use a pre-set option if available).
  7. When done cooking, allow natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure using a long-handled utensil like tongs.
  8. Open the lid carefully away from you and fluff up both the cooked meat and cooked rice using a fork.
