Best instant pot version of the chipotle rice I’ve found! I stirred in a little bit of olive oil with the lime juice and cilantro, bit otherwise no changes.

In reply to Jean. Hi Jean! This recipe can be doubled in a 6-quart and tripled if using an 8-quart Instant Pot. Remember the cooking time remains the same.

Oh. My. Goodness!!! YUUMMMMM!!! I just made this for dinner tonight and it is DEEEELISHHH!!! It is so flavorful! I did add a bit more lime juice and salt . Not too much, just for mine and my husband’s tastes. For the past 5 years I have been cooking brown rice in the instant pot according to another bloggers instructions and now I realize after following your recipe that I have been doing it all wrong. Following your instructions, my brown rice is soft and fluffy, not mushy or dry. Thank you so much for this recipe. This will be my go-to from now on!

In reply to Tricia. Hi Tricia! I realize I am responding in the morning, but adding the lime/cilantro right after cooking or right before serving both work--but I would lean slightly to adding before serving. As for reheating, I would place the rice into a heat-safe container and add a splash of vegetable stock and cover it with plastic wrap. Heat in the microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring in between intervals to fluff it up. Enjoy!

Making this tonight for a party tomorrow. I’m cooking the rice now. Should I hold off on adding lime juice and cilantro until tomorrow? Or add it then refrigerate? Tips on reheating? (I’m using brown rice) thank you. This looks so good!

In reply to carol emig. Hi Carol! Each cup of dried rice makes about 3 cups of cooked rice. So this recipe makes about 6 cups of rice. So each serving is 3/4 cup. I hope that helps!

Hi. I would like to make your recipe but was wondering how much is a serving? 1/2 c cooked rice, 2/3 c or 3/4? 8 Servings is great but trying to plan for a wedding and need to know how big the servings are to allow for 8. Thanks for your time

In reply to Lauren. Hi Lauren! Yes, that is correct. It simply takes longer to cook whole grain rice than white rice. You can see that is the case when prepared on the stove as well. The reason is that the white rice has had the bran and germ removed, making it easier to break down while it cooks, but also losing key nutrients and fiber.

24 minutes for brown rice and only 3 minutes for white? Is that correct? Why the huge difference?

In reply to Natalie. Hi Natalie! I have doubled this recipe with success, but I am not sure tripling will work. You need to be sure you don't exceed 2/3rds of the way full, so it will depend on your size of the instant pot. When doubling recipes the timing should remain the same :)
