Would aluminum not work as well because it conducts heat better than steel so it might burn the rice?
Asking because I have an aluminum pressure cooker and I'd like to try it still.
Give it a whirl! I was only recommending against aluminum because I use a steel spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan after cooking, and I would worry that the steel would scratch up the softer aluminum. But you could use a sturdy plastic spatula instead, should work fine.
Update: I just finished stuffing my belly with half the rice I cooked using your recipe, it came out delicious, thank you for that!
The reason why I left the other half outside of my belly is not due capacity limitations of any kind, but rather because I suspect this kind of rice will lend itself really really well to food-dehydration as it's already almost dry (in a good crunchy way!). I do this sometimes with leftovers pasta and rice and later use it as backpacking meals (either by cold soaking or super quick boil).
