Make Perfect Instant Pot Rice (Pressure Cooker Rice) with this easy Foolproof method. Fragrant and fluffy white rice ready in 15 minutes. Set it and forget it, no need to tend the pot. No more uncooked, burnt, or mushy rice!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (230g) Jasmine rice
• 1 cup (250ml) cold water
• 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt

Procedure

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 water is clear. Be sure to drain really well.
2. Pressuree Cook Rice: Add 1 cup (230g) rice and 1 cup (250ml) cold water in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Close the lid, turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutes. Turn Venting Knob to Venting position to release the remaining pressure. Open the lid quickly.
3. Optional Seasoning: Add salt to the rice for seasoning.
4. Fluff & Serve: Fluff rice with a fork

Cook’s Notes

1. Double the Rice 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.

Rice usually Fails to Cook in a Few Ways:

• Too watery: this means your rice is under-cooked.
• Hard, chewy, or burnt: this means you didn’t add enough water or it’s overcooked.
• Too mushy and sticky: this means you added way too much water.

So, the water-to-rice ratios and the cooking times are the utmost important factors for making perfectly cooked rice. Every grain is different though.
