**Cooking Pot-in-Pot is not an exact science. We have done extensive recipe testing and found that this method works best for us. You may find that you need to slightly adjust water ratios and/or times to better suit the type of rice/grain you are using, your elevation, the type of inner pot you are using, etc.
