Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the rice well.
  2. Add about 2 cups of water to the inner pot of the pressure cooker.
  3. Add the rice, salt and the two cups of water, oil or butter, to an Instant Pot safe dish/pot. Stir to combine.
  4. Add a long legged trivet to the Instant Pot. Add the pot with the rice onto the trivet. Cover with aluminum foil and pinch a few times with a fork. If using the same pot that I did, it comes with a steamer lid.
  5. Cook:
  6. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release. Turn off the heat. Release the remaining pressure. Open the lid.
  7. Remove the pot with the rice, let it rest covered for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Before serving, fluff the rice with a fork.
