  • Notes
  • High-quality rice will cook more evenly and have a better texture.
  • Some people prefer a bit drier or wetter rice, and you can adjust the ratio accordingly by adding a little more or less water.
  • For extra flavor you can sauté the rice in oil to gently brown the grains before mixing it with the water in the Instant Pot. 
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 10  minutes. Opening the Instant Pot too soon can release the pressure and cause the rice to be undercooked.
