Instant Pot Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups long grain white rice (such as basmati or jasmine)
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water. Drain rice well and put it in the Instant Pot.

2. 2

   Add water to the pot, and salt, if desired. Stir. Make sure that all of the rice is in the water, not stuck to the sides of the pot.

3. 3

   Close the Instant Pot lid and move the steam release valve to the sealing position.

4. 4

   Use the Pressure Cook or Manual function to cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.

5. 5

   When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 15 minutes by leaving the Instant Pot alone.

6. 6

   Carefully move the steam release valve to the venting position to quick release any remaining pressure. When the pin drops down, open the Instant Pot lid.

7. 7

   Fluff rice and serve.
