Ninja Foodi rice both brown and white is easy to make! Here are tips on how to make the best pressure cooker rice so it’s done fluffy every single time.
Making Ninja Foodi rice is simple really. But if you’re new to making any Ninja Foodi recipes then this will be quite helpful. We make brown and white rice several times a week. Whether we’re serving it plain with butter on top for a snack or with chicken or beef served on top it’s a cheap dish we love.
Ninja Foodi rice directions are different from our Instant Pot white rice. In this post we’re sharing how to make fluffy brown rice too.
It is versatile, naturally gluten free, and brown rice has fiber in it which we all need.
If you too are obsessed with your Ninja Foodi pressure cooker air fryer machine, here are a few resource to start with:
- You can bookmark our Ninja air fryer recipes page, we add to that weekly.
- Here’s a printable air fryer cook times chart here for your fridge.
- Be sure to save this link to the best pressure cooker recipes too.
- Grab a Foodi cookbook here, we love this one.
Then join our Ninja Facebook group where you can share and find more ideas you’ll love. We have an air fryer page that shares daily ideas too.
If you need to know how to cook frozen meat in a pressure cooker, we have information on that. NO, you aren’t the only forgetful one. 😉
Since this time we have perfected pressure cooker brown rice too. I don’t make this quite as often as white is our favorite.
BUT I will say it is more tender and fluffy than I’ve ever had it at a restaurant.
I will admit that we make white rice in the pressure cooker 90% of the time. My kids prefer that, and I kinda’ do too.
I am however trying to eat healthier and brown rice is on my radar to integrate into my diet more often.
- Using the timing below to make Ninja Foodi rice will ensure that you’ll have fluffy white or brown rice every single time!
Tips for making the perfect pressure cooker rice
- After combining your rice and water stir them together
- Keep track of timing when it is done
- Do a 10 minute natural release for white rice
- Allow brown rice to naturally release steam for 5 minutes, then release the rest immediately after that
- Fluff when done
- Turn pot off when done. I even transfer it to a serving bowl so it doesn’t continue to cook in the pot.
Serve immediately for best results.

These recipes are all over the net. This site is so annoying and even somewhat insulting having to scroll through inane remarks and comments and ADS that pop up covering the script! I can't even see. see what I'm typing because of a little ad that keeps jumping in front of the screen! Its pathetic.

@Carole thorn, I could not agree with you more!! I just want a recipe. I don’t want to learn about somebody’s likes or dislikes their 100 year history with the recipe. Just give me the recipe and then maybe down below you could have all your BS writing.

Great post!! So based on your experience, which Foodi should I get? We are family of 4, and I usually cook in large batches to freeze.

If I cut the amount of rice in half, do I still cook it for 2 minutes or do I reduce the cooking time?

Aloha from Hawaii jAsmine...I purchased my rice that already comes pre-mixed with white and brown. We call it “hapa” rice (Hawaiian term mixed of heritage; in this case, mixed of white and brown rice). Would you think I should still do equal parts (1:1) or add a 1/4 more water since there’s brown rice in it? How long should I cook this for? Looking forward to getting your opinion. Mahalo
