Instant Pot Tomato Garlic Brown Rice Recipe
Reading Time: 3 minutes
This is our favorite way to eat rice! It’s also one of our favorite uses of our Instant Pot.
An Instant Pot is a countertop pressure cooker. It sautés, slow cooks, makes rice, yogurt maker, steams veggies and cooks all types of proteins. You can even bake bread in an Instant Pot!
It’s an all-in-one device, which means you can toss multiple ingredients into the pot and cook it all at once.
The pressure cooking function locks steam created by the liquid in the pot. The steam keeps your food moist and flavorful.
In most cases, Instant Pot meals are ready to serve in less than an hour.
Our Instant Pot tomato garlic brown rice will takes minutes to make and will go with proteins, veggies or eaten alone. There is so much flavor and it’s super satisfying.

Add all the ingredients to your Instant Pot!
Pressure cook the rice on HIGH for 17 minutes.
Decide to do a natural or quick pressure release.
And voila! Our rice is ready to be fluffed.
Natural VS Manual Pressure Release
Once the cook time is up on your Instant Pot, you’ll need to release the pressure in one of two ways.
Natural Pressure Release: The valve on the lid remains on “Sealing” position and the pressure dissipates naturally over time. This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to more than an hour depending on what you were cooking. Low-liquid meals will take much less time than high-liquid meals, like soup or stews. Keep in mind that food will also still be cooking if you take the natural release route.
Manual Pressure Release (also known as Quick Release): Carefully move the valve into “Venting” position and watch the steam shoot upwards from the pot. This method is much faster but can take longer (up to 15 minutes) if you are cooking high liquid dishes.
Can I Save My Rice for Later?
Yes, you can! You can store the rice an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can also pop it the freezer in a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze it up to 3 months.
