Are you tired of constantly monitoring the stove while cooking Rice-A-Roni? Well, fret no more! Imagine a world where you can effortlessly prepare this beloved dish without all the hassle. The Instant Pot is our go-to no-hassle kitchen equipment and now you can use this magical appliance to whip up perfect Rice-A-Roni every single time. Whether you’re a busy parent looking for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner or an amateur chef wanting to impress your guests, this article will guide you through the simple steps of using your Instant Pot to create fluffy and flavorful Rice-A-Roni with minimal effort.

1. Instant Pot

1. Butter
2. Water
3. Box of Rice-A-Roni (We like chicken flavored)

Directions

Start by setting your Instant Pot to Saute. Throw in your butter (we use half of what it says on the box and don’t notice the difference) and get it all melted.

Stir in the rice and let it cook. We want it to have some color. These steps aren’t much different than cooking it on the stove.

Once you have the color that you are looking for, push the cancel button on the Instant Pot.

Add in the water according to the table below.

MAKE SURE TO USE THIS TO MEASURE OUT YOUR WATER! It is the rice cup that comes with the Instant Pot. It doesn’t measure liquids the same as everything else in the world.

Number of Boxes	Cups of Water
1	1 3/4
2	3 1/2

Stir in the Spice Mix. (Yum… Spices…)

Now you just need to close the Instant Pot up and select the ‘Rice’ button. Don’t have a rice button? Set the timer to 12 minutes and walk away.

When it is done, do a Quick Release and you should have something that looks like this.

Stir it up and it is ready to eat.

We decided to have ours with green beans and BBQ chicken.

Until next time,
