Skip the stove, and make rice in your Ninja Foodi or instant pot instead! Instant pot / Ninja Foodi white rice is so easy to make. Just toss in the rice–no waiting for the water to boil, no hovering over the stove, and you get perfect rice every single time!

Instant Pot / Ninja Foodi White Rice Recipe

Do you have a Ninja Foodi? I love ours because it really does it all! It takes the place of so many other appliances since it can pressure cook, air fry, slow cook — even steam, bake, broil, dehydrate, sear, and sautรฉ! 

If you have a Foodi or an instant pot, you know they can definitely make life easier. 

One of the things we’ve been making in our Foodi, using the pressure cooker feature, is rice. Making white rice on the stovetop seems simple enough, but it can come out sticky or overdone very easily.

This instant pot / Ninja Foodi white rice recipe takes away the guesswork, to give you delicious, fluffy rice every time.

When it’s done, fluff your rice with a fork, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips 

  • This easy recipe calls for water. To infuse your rice with more flavor, you can replace the water with vegetable or chicken broth.
  • Salt is optional, but will add a little more flavor.
  • You can easily double or triple this recipe. However, you do not need to adjust the cooking times. I know, it sounds crazy, but donโ€™t increase the cooking time, or your rice will not turn out as well.
  • I used a six-quart pot. However, none of the steps should change if your pot is smaller or bigger than mine.
  • I do not suggest using Minute Rice for this recipe. I used long grain white rice, which cooks up beautifully.
