Notes

Plan Your Portions: Remember that 1 cup of uncooked wild rice will give you about 3 cups of cooked wild rice.

Softer Rice: If you want the wild rice to have a softer texture, you can extend its cooking time by 5 minutes, or simply turn on the ‘keep warm’ setting while you’re doing the pressure release.

Cook Just Right: The ideal way to cook wild rice is such that it absorbs all the water, and is cooked through, but not mushy.
