Perfect Instant Pot Rice

Recipe Description

I love rice, and this Perfect Instant Pot Rice is my favorite way to cook it. This method makes delicious fluffy rice which is ready in 15 minutes. The best thing about using the Instant Pot for this is that you can switch it on and leave it as you prepare the rest of your meal. Simple.

To make the rice, start by rinsing under cold water. I use my fingertips to swirl it around. Pour out the starchy water, and continue to rinse until the water runs clear. Drain well. Add rice and cold water to the Instant Pot and close the lid. Turn the Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Cook at High Pressure briefly, then Natural Release for 10 minutes. Turn the Venting Knob to the Venting position to release the remaining pressure. Open the lid quickly and add salt to the rice for seasoning if using. Fluff the rice with a fork, then serve warm and enjoy!

To make Perfect Instant Pot Rice, you will need the following ingredients:
