For every 1 cup of brown rice, add 1 1/4 cups water. That’s the formula for brown rice in the Instant Pot.
You will end up with double the amount of cooked rice as uncooked rice.
If you are a rice texture purist, cooking 2 cups or more of Instant Pot brown rice does give it the best texture.
About 45 to 50 minutes is how much time it takes to cook brown rice in a pressure cooker:
If you have lots left over and want to know how to freeze brown rice, it’s super simple! Spread the cooked, cooled rice on a baking sheet, then freeze until solid (this helps your rice freeze flat for easy storage). Transfer the frozen rice to an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating or use directly from frozen.

In the bottom of an Instant Pot, stir together the rice, water, and salt (I do not rinse my rice first, because I like it a little sticky; if you’d like less starchy grains, go ahead and rinse it first in a fine mesh strainer).
Cover and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on HIGH pressure (manual mode) for 22 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for at least 15 minutes, or until the pin drops.
Carefully open the lid. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
