Rice in the pressure cooker is simple and turns out fantastic! Not mushy or sticky, just perfectly cooked grains of rice.

ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup brown rice, short or long-grain
1 3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
directions
Pick over, rinse, and drain the rice. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Saute the rice until lightly browned, stirring frequently, about 1-2 minutes. [This avoids foaming and reduces the possibility of rice sticking to the bottom of the cooker.]
Turn off the heat and stir in the boiling water (watch for oil sputtering), flavoring options, and salt if using.
Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure drop naturally while the rice steams in the residual heat for 10 minutes. Reduce any remaining pressure with a quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
If the rice is not sufficiently cooked, stir in a few tablespoons of boiling water if the mixture seems dry, and replace the lid. Simmer over very low heat for another minute or two, or until done. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Rice turned out perfect and took less time than cooking on the stovetop and had better texture than cooking in the microwave.

The rice was perfectly done! It was my first experiment with rice in the pressure cooker and it will definitely be a cooking method I'll continue to use.
