I got an Instant Pot!

Used it to make beans, they cooked fast and soft and not gritty, so yay.

Buuuut then I wanted to use it for a rice cooker, and the suggested proportion for brown rice was 1:1. I'm used to cooking brown rice (mixed with quinoa) on a 1:2 grain:liquid ratio... and I noticed that their proportion for white rice was also 1:1. Is this a typo, or is that really what you're supposed to use for rice cooking, equal parts rice and water, even if it's brown? (The rice, I mean. Don't cook with brown water.)

Do you normally do rice in a saucepan or a rice cooker? I think the IP and its ilk retain a lot more of the steam than a covered saucepan, so you can use less liquid - but I admit I do almost none of the cooking at my house so I don’t know for sure and don’t see why you couldn’t err on the side of too much and adjust if your grain turned out soggy.
