Looks great and I love PR Rice. A bunch of Chef's and myself, spent a summer cooking for and feeding kids in a Hispanic neighborhood. Our Thank You banquet was put on by the neighborhood Mom's. The food was amazing, especially the Pernil, Rice and Flan. Can you post a recipe, Please...JJ

So I've got an Instant Pot and also an Induction/pressure/fuzzy-Logic Cuckoo rice cooker, and neither of the damned things will make just plain, not-stuck-together long grain or Basmati rice anywhere near as well as the first generation Japanese fuzzy cooker that I bought 20 years ago.
My wife had spent most of her teen life in Brasil, and had made it clear to me that it was requisite to spend 30-45 minutes rinsing rice prior to cooking it in a pan, and when I got the first cooker, it rocked our worlds.

Not so much now...

I really have to assume that this is operator error, as the Instapot is the world's darling now, and the Cuckoo (absolute best internet ratings, and WAY more expensive than it has a right to be) will do such arcane things as "Korean fermented rice" 72 hr cooks, and will keep your rice edible for up to a week after cooking without drying it out, while the old Japanese one had, I think, "sticky" and "fluffy" as options...

Help...

Cancel Sauté

Hit rice 12 minutes. Let the rice in the closed position for 2-3 mins before taking lid off.
Note: The rice button is low presure and you may have some rice stick to the bottom.

My SIL is PR and his family likes the sticky rice.

Thanks...That's almost identical to a stove top recipe a friend gave me. His had 2 packs Sazon and 1 pack Goya Ham Base. No Salt needed. Looks really good...JJ
