Covered backpacking pots from 1 to 2 liters made from pure titanium transmit heat well for faster cooking. I use REI’s own TiWare and Evernew. Frozen boneless chicken breast right on top of the rice. Weighing out the rice and broth in grams yields consistent results. The drippings flavor the rice nicely. Low pressure yields breasts which are more plump. Fresh herbs or dry sodium-free seasoning. The pots are expensive but will last forever while saving energy. Look for tight fitting low lids which also allow dry roasting and heating frozen burritos. Titanium does not retain heat and cools to the touch really fast. I.P. red sling allows the use of no-handle pots. Featherweight easy to handle and store. Purportedly Ti offers a health benefit over SS for chromium and nickel sensitive folks. A non-stick coating is O.K. as it won’t deteriorate in PIP.
For less money MSR has quality stainless versions. Thank you for promoting PIP method and its many benefits including even cooking and reduced over-cooking.

Hi Mari,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

The pot-in-pot method is an indirect heating method, so the cooking time will vary depending on how many ingredients you have.

Take care & have fun cooking

Thank you for the great recipe!

I use duo crisp 6qt, and have problems making normal rice, esp pot in pot. (Risotto, briyani etc turns fine. I normally don’t do plain rice in instant pot as I have a rice cooker.)

In your recipes, for direct in pot cooking, you said 3min high pressure and 10min QR whether the amount is increased.

But for PiP, you said 7 min for 1cup, 15 min for 2cups.

Would you please explain why the significant difference?

Btw, I’m Japanese, so I normally use short grain (sushi) rice.

Thank you!

Hi Carolyn,

thank you for your kind words and question.

It will take roughly 25 – 28 minutes plus another extra 1/4 cup of liquid to cook the brown rice properly with this method.

Take care & have a wonderful weekend

I have been using this pot-in-pot method with white jasmine rice and medium grain white rice to make one-dish meals. Would this method work with brown rice? What adjustments would I need to make? I love your recipes. Thanks.

Hi Don,

thank you for your question 🙂

It is best to leave the inside pot uncovered.

Hi Amy and Jacky, When using the Pot in Pot for rice, do I put the inner cover on the inside pot or leave it uncovered when pressure cooking?
