yes soak or cook a bit longer.
I stick with my rice cooker although the POT is very fast! _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

I'll try that next time and see if it helps. It's crazy dry and comes out in one solid chunk if I don't chop it up with the little scooper. It's rice. I'm basically fucking up boiling water.  _________________ "Hmmm. I've been looking for a way to serve the community that incorporates my violence." -- Leela |

Do everything the same as always. But pour in a beer, just before you close the pot. Hey, it can't hurt. Or use half a bottle of vodka instead, and even if it doesn't work, eat the rice and you won't care! _________________ -Jeff How can I help you, and/or make you smile, today?

It's Basmati rice. Oh, well,.. that's definitely water. Do you want rice that's clumpy, or not? If not, rinse it first, and then try 1:1 water:rice by weight, plus a quarter cup for steam in the environment. |

 That's white chicken chili from Pressure Luck: https://pressureluckcooking.com/recipe/ ... ken-chili/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO6jRjTQfVA Taste was EXCELLENT, I really loved it. It wasn't spicy at all; I might kick it up a little in the future. I would have liked it to be slightly thicker, maybe I'll use more corn starch next time, or a little cheddar that might melt down better than the monterey jack. It filled the 8-quart pot to within an inch of the "max" line, so no doubling of this recipe. I forgot to add the corn.  But yeah, I really liked this chili and I'll definitely be making it again! _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

My corned beef recipe said to cook the veggies for only 4-5 minutes, but I did 11 instead. Veggies were a little on the mushy side.

The recipe isn't showing up correctly on my iPad, so I'll offer 2 or 3 general ideas used in the food world to increase thickness... Since I can't see the recipe, I can't make a direct reference, but the first thing you can do is reduce the overall liquid...so, if it's 5 quarts of broth, r whatever, reduce it to 4, or reduce 6 to 5, etc., ... One of the more popular ways, is to take 1/4, or 1/3 of the soup/chili/stew, and blending it...and then adding it back to the soup, chili, etc. You can also add arrowroot as you blend it, much like a slurry with flour....just add a tsp or so... Another option is putting the chili in a pot on the stove, and letting it simmer on low without a lid for a bit....moisture evaporites, and the flavors will concentrate, much like a sauce....or use the sauté feature on the Instapot... Anyway, just a few suggestions. |
