Step 1
Rinse Rice

Rinse rice under cold water by gently scrubbing the rice with your fingertips in a circling motion.

Pour out the milky water, and continue to rinse until the water is clear. Drain well.

*Pro Tip: Don’t skip this step as it helps get rid of excess starches on the surface and prevents the rice in becoming gluey.

Step 2
Pressure Cook Rice

Add rice and water in the pressure cooker.

Close the lid and pressure cook at

·       Pressure Cooking Method: High Pressure, then

·       Pressure Release Method: Natural Release for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure

Open the lid quickly.

*Pro Tip: Be sure to cook the rice immediately after you pour the water in the Instant Pot – this prevents throwing off the water:rice ratio.

Pressure Cooker Rice (Instant Pot Rice) Tips

1. Double the Recipe: If you want to cook more rice, double/triple the amount using the 1:1 rice:water ratio with the same cooking time.

2. Rice Storage: store white rice in a sealed container in a dry and dark place.

3. Rinse the Rice: It’s important to rinse the white rice under cold water until the water is clear. This will get rid of excess starches on the surface and prevent the rice in becoming gluey.

4. Cook the Rice Immediately: Cook the rice as soon as you pour the water into the pressure cooker. If you let the rice sit in the water, the rice will continue to absorb the water, which will throw off the ratio.

5. If the rice turns out a bit wet when you open the lid, first fluff the rice with a fork to let the moisture escape through the steam. Then let it rest a bit before serving it.
