I noticed comments in another thread about pressure cookers and using them to make rice. We eat a fair amount plain jasmine or long grain rice, and the instant pot does a nice job of cooking larger quantities vs when I make it on the stove top (it's just a little more fool proof). BUT i don't like how the original stainless steel pot that came with the instantpot works with rice - the clean up is painful.
SO - I replaced the original stainless steel with a non-stick version (also bought from instantpot). Honestly, the non-stick version of that pot is only slightly easer to clean. The original pot is actually heavier... i think they thinned out the bottom of the non-stick version, my guess is that although it's non-stick, the bottom gets too hot, and the rice sticks to it anyway.
Does anyone have an alternate brand to instantpot (like a Ninja) that they use to make rice and do pressure cooking for stews and etc? Does it have a decent non-stick option? I don't really want to have an electric pressure cooker and a rice cooker... My kitchen is "mid sized" at best. Counter space and storage space is fairly limited.
