Instructions
- Rinse the rice in a colander.
- Add rice and water/broth to Instant Pot. (Important Tip: Do not fill your Instant Pot more than halfway with the rice and liquid. This prevents excessive foaming that can block the mechanisms in the lid.)
- Lock and seal the lid and cook at high pressure for 23 minutes.
- Let Instant Pot naturally release pressure for at least 10 minutes (that means, just don’t touch it). Then, do a quick release of the rest of the pressure by opening the pressure valve.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and eat up!

If cooking basmati rice in the Instant Pot, cook at high pressure for 4-8 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
If cooking jasmine rice, cook at high pressure for 4-10 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
