Step 1

Rinsing the rice is important to remove excess starch, which can cause stickiness. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and the appropriate amount of water to the Instant Pot inner pot.

Step 3

Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position.

Step 4

Select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" setting on your Instant Pot. High pressure is recommended for most types of rice.

Step 5

Cook 3 minutes at high pressure.

Step 6

After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes. This means letting the pressure release on its own without manually turning the valve

Step 7

After the NPR period, you can do a quick pressure release by turning the venting knob to the venting position to release any remaining steam.

Step 8

Open the lid carefully and fluff the rice with a fork. Fluffing helps separate the grains and keeps them from sticking together.
