I made this recipe with the same ingredients, except I sauteed everything in a separate pan on the stove top because I was concerned about getting the food burn warning. I also warmed up the chicken broth and mushroom liquid a bit before adding, since in the written recipe the pot would have been warmer from all the sauteing so this was a substitute for that. Still got a food burn warning! Was not worth the extra steps lol. I released pressure and then kept it on Keep Warm for 10 minutes and the rice still ended up cooked through, but with all the finagling I would probably just recommend the stove top recipe instead. It was very tasty and we had less leftovers than expected.

I just made this and the flavors are nice and mellow and comforting. Everything about it is comforting and yummy. I didn’t have any issues with a burn warning or anything like that. It turned out perfectly for me.

In reply to Devo.

Hi Devo, I’m sorry to hear the recipe didn’t work for you.
I suspect that the wrong water ratio was caused by the type of glutionus rice we use. Just like long and short grain white rice, glutinous rice has different varieties too and requires different water ratio.
I used the short grain type, which uses less water usually. I’ve tested this recipe with more liquid before but the rice turned out quite soggy.
The recipe has been had mixed feedback and quite a few people reported the “burn error”. However, I have tried making it in three different generations of Instant Pot and had not been able to replicate the “burn error” issue.
Sticky rice is challenging to cook using the method of regular rice, because it requires soaking in advance then steam.
If you would still like to give this dish a try, I think the dutch oven method might work better: https://omnivorescookbook.com/sticky-rice-stuffing/ because the result is more consistent.

Followed this recipe perfectly. Didn’t miss a step, didn’t get a measurement wrong. Pressure cook didn’t even complete its heating cycle before I got a burn error. Took the lid off, all liquid was gone, rice was burned to the pot, and the rice that wasn’t burned to the pot was crunchy. These measurements are incorrect. How do you expect to cook 1.5 cups of rice with less than 3 cups of liquid. The math doesn’t work. Ruined a special dinner.

In reply to Jane. I think you can. I used the 6qt instantpot but the rice didn't fill up to half of the pot after cooking.

Can I cook this in a 3qt Instapot?

In reply to Tena. I think you definitely can and that might solve the burning bottom issue. I would follow the recipe to saute all the ingredients. Then combine everything in the pot that you will place inside of the IP. Please let me know how it turns out if you decided to try this method. Happy cooking!

I have questions. When I cook sticky rice in my IP in the past it is in a pot inside the IP. Do you think this would help with the burnt rice on the bottom of the IP? I cant wait to make this I just picked up some of the sausage at Castco and I have sticky rice and mushrooms and this sounds so good all my favs in one place.

In reply to Alex.

I’ve never tried it so I cannot say for sure. I’m quite surprised that the burn warning is a common problem because I was never able to recreate it at home…
Another alternative is to use this recipe: https://omnivorescookbook.com/sticky-rice-stuffing/
It is essential the same dish but using the stovetop method, which prevent the burning issue.

Is it possible to do a pot in pot method for this? I’ve had trouble with the burn warning coming up, and was thinking this could help get around this!
