Seasoned Advice Asked on May 31, 2021
I have an older instant pot pressure cooker (ip-lux50 v3) and I’ve tried making rice according to various recipes I’ve found on the internet and none of them have turned out well
This is one recipe I’ve tried
https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-rice/
The rice came out gummy and stuck to the pot. I’m hoping for suggestions of a way to make good rice based on this recipe
The rice can make the difference. The rice:water ratio can make the difference.
I don't know the figures for Jasmine, but quite famously half the bags of Basmati sold are not, in fact, Basmati. See The Great Rice Scam.
The images shown on that site give the impression they do aim for 'slightly sticky' so you can pick up with chopsticks.
First tests would be…
Reduce your water content.
Let it sit an additional 15 minutes once finished.
Experiment with leaving the lid on vs removing it & placing a sheet of kitchen roll over the top with the lid on just enough to hold it flat. [Greek/Turkish method]
Personally, I never rinse rice & I never use anything other than a regular saucepan. Perfect rice every time, in 30 minutes.
1 : 1.6 rice : water. [more than a pressure cooker of course]
Drop boiling water onto ready-salted rice in a pre-heated pan. This causes a flash boil which immediately separates the grains.
Quick stir once. Heat to minimum, lid on.
15 minutes at lowest heat.
Switch off. Leave 15 minutes more.
Done.

I have a similar electric pressure cooker and a budget price basmati rice turns out perfect (1 mug measure of rice to 1 mug measure of water, 3 minutes maximum pressure, natural release, about 5-8 minutes total). I don't even have non-stick insert, and the rice comes away freely from the bottom. If anything, the rice is very slightly under cooked (al dente) rather than over cooked.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with the recipe. The most common sign of a bad recipe for a pressure cooker would be rice that turns out too mushy. Gummy rice is usually about the starch.
So, to troubleshoot:
