Instant Pot Rice
Description
The Instant Pot Rice recipe combines rinsed long grain white rice with measured water in a pressure cooker. Rinsing removes excess starch for less sticky rice. Cooking under high pressure for four minutes, followed by a natural release, ensures rice is tender and fully cooked. The quick release at the end prevents overcooking. Once done, fluffing the rice separates grains and improves texture. This technique yields rice that complements many dishes by providing a consistent, fluffy base.
Rinsing the rice multiple times until water runs clear is essential to achieve the proper texture and prevent clumping. The balance of water and rice is equal, simplifying preparation. This recipe's method keeps the kitchen cool and frees up time compared to stovetop cooking. It pairs well with diverse main courses or as a simple side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain white rice (or Jasmine or Basmati rice)
- 2 cups water
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place 2 cups of rice in the Instant Pot liner and cover with water. Agitate the rice with your hand and drain off the water. Repeat until water runs clear.
- Drain off all the water, then add 2 cups of water to the rice.
- Cover the Instant Pot with the lid and turn knob to the sealing position. Pressure cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Natural pressure release 10-12 minutes, then quick release by turning the knob to the venting position.
- Uncover and fluff rice with fork before serving.
