Notes

  • We cook our white rice in the Instant Pot. Rinse the rice with water and then place in the Instant Pot. Top with an equal amount of water. (1 cup rice, 1 cup water, etc.) Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Let release naturally for 10 minutes and then do a quick release and fluff with a fork.
