Electric Pressure Cooker Rice {Savory Parmesan} Notes
- I used a 6 qt Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker on the Rice Setting.
- You need to use a long grain rice. I use Jasmati or Jasmineย Rice.
- If you don’t have cooking sherry, you can use additional chicken broth.
- If you don’t have shallots, you can use 1/8 cup chopped onion
- If you are using an 8-quart Instant Pot, you may need to use a half cup more liquid to make sure your Instant Pot will come up to pressure.
- This recipe can be made in any 6 quart electric pressure cooker including:ย Instant Pot,ย Ninja Foodiย andย Crock Pot Express.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly.

- Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes shouldย always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.

This looks small enough to fit in my 3 qt instant pot. Would I need to change liquid or anything else?? Thanks ;-D
We haven’t tested this recipe in a 3 quart Instant Pot, but think the recipe should work as it is. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
Forgot to rate it with 5 stars.
Thanks so much, Kathy!
This recipe is awesome. I could just eat the whole thing and nothing else for dinner lol. I have tossed in some asparagus at times to make it a meal for me. Also, I’ve tossed in some toasted slivered almonds for some crunch.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome to see a pressure cooker recipe too….love to slow cook but love my PC also ๐
I agree with Fayleen… if you have a PC link, that would be awesome!!! ๐ I am looking forward to making this for dinner!!!
