The recipe i have calls for 1 cup Arborio rice and 1 1/2 cups water to be cooked at high Pressure for 3 minutes and NPR for 10 minutes. Are you saying that if I put it in my CSO which has been preheated to 250F on the super steam setting, would also take 3 minutes? I would then turn the oven off and leavs the rice in there for 10 minutes? If so, i might never cook arborio rice any other way again.
I don't think so because when you make rice, there's a lot of water surrounding the rice and the rice is brought to a boil directly from the heating element. So, under pressure, the water surrounding the rice is at 248F at high pressure (assuming the IP works like my PC). This is different from the idea of putting a bowl of water/rice into the 250F steamy oven because the oven doesn't heat the water by conduction - so I think cooking rice in a PC would be different.
When @Shelby makes teh gizzards, they're basically steamed in teh PC on a rack above the liquid, so in that case, it would be the same as in a 250F steam filled oven.
