I want to cook rice in a pressure cooker using the "pot in pot"
method, but I can't find a suitable looking pot on the internet. Does
it have to be stainless steel - would a pyrex glass bowl be OK - I can
find plenty of those. (I think they are oven proof up to 300C.)

What logical reason would you site for doing this? Beans, etc. will
boil up and the liquid residues CAN clog your steam vents.

Go ahead, don't let us stop you. Come back and tell us how the rice
turned out, how long it took, whether it required extra care or
attention, and whether it entailed extra cleanup.

Most people start the rice in a pot or cooker and then prepare the
rest of the meal while the rice is cooking. This works out quite
easily with just a bit of time-planning. -aem

This is an foolproof method for cooking rice in a pressure cooker
using the PIP (Pan In Pot) method for perfect, fluffy white rice.
Position the rack in the cooker and add 1/2 c. water. Rinse 1 c. long
grain white rice until water runs clear. Drain the rice. Using a small
(1 to 1 1/2 qt.) stainless bowl that fits inside the cooker, add the
rice and 1 1/2 cup water. Place the bowl on the rack in the cooker.
Lock the lid in place and bring to 15psi, reduce the heat to the
lowest setting that will just maintain that pressure. Cook exactly 4
minutes. Remove from heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Open
the lid. Use an oven mitt to remove the bowl and fluff rice with a
fork before serving.
