If you got one of these handy multi cooker Crock Pot Express pots you might be looking for basic recipes! Other than a great side dish it has been a complete meal for me a few times I will say and itโs just a staple in our house. You can find this and tons of other easy Crockpot Express recipes here too.

Crock pot Express Rice Recipe
We eat a lot of white, Jasmine, brown and how to cook Arborio rice isnโt a whole lot different! I guess it is the perfect cheap side dish that all 5 of us like and itโs super easy to make rice in your pressure cooker now.
Gone are the days when you had to make it on the stovetop and watch it, just throw your 2 ingredients into your pot, push the button and walk away. Then youโll have fluffy Crockpot Express white rice when it beeps. Once the steam is released, just serve and enjoy!
Jasmine rice
For this one you would follow the directions in our Instant Pot jasmine rice for that type. Only difference is that there is less high pressure time and a longer natural release so it can fluff up at the end when done. Same time but 6 minutes + 6 minutes broken down that way.
Brown Rice
Ok so the darker the grains are the longer they will take to cook. You will need to increase the cook time from 12 to 22 minutes. Then you have to allow a natural release for 20 minutes after that to fluff up, yes it is a lot longer with a bit more water too but really good. You can follow the full instructions here with pressure cooker brown rice instructions.
How long does it take to cook rice in Crockpot Express?
Long grain takes 12 minutes. The rice button will automatically set it to that cook time which is handy, you can press high pressure and if making jasmine variety you instead set to 6 minutes with a 10 minute natural release. Different grains need a subtle tweak to get perfectly tender.
What to serve with
Most often we will serve this on top of Ninja Foodi chili with cheese, at least a few times a month this is a dinner we all love. We will even make Pigs in the Blanket with Cabbage with this as part of the filling.
- Served next to Crock Pot Express beer can chicken as a simple side dish
- With Crockpot Express barbecue chicken on top of it
We have made crock pot express grits for a breakfast side dish which were good so we moved on to another basic recipe that we use all the time. If you are new to using your multi cooker pressure cooker machine it is easier than you think and I have step by step directions below on how to make this.

Absolutely. Anything labeled as Instant Pot or pressure cooker recipe will work in this pot with the low or high pressure button. Brown is the same as the IP saute button instructions you may find.
Yes you can and it works really well too. There is a rice button or you can customize the cook time with the high pressure function. Wild takes the longest followed by brown rice, and long grain or Jasmine take the same time.
Can I use brown rice instead of white.
Hi!
Did you wash your white rice before placing it in the express crock?
Thanks!
Yes, til the water from the rice runs clear.
