- 1 cup rice

Equipment
Instructions
- Rinse rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Put rice into the Instant Pot.
- Then add in water (or broth).
- Lock the lid and set the steam valve to its “sealing” position.
- Select the RICE button, MANUAL button, or HIGH PRESSURE button and follow the cooking chart below.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally for 9 to 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.
- Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
Notes
Rinsing your rice before cooking can help remove some of the excess starch. Some people believe this excess starch may lead to sticking and getting the dreaded “BURN” notice on the Instant Pot. So, while this may seem like an unnecessary step that adds time and a dirty strainer, we highly recommend it! It will be worth it if you want your final product to be fluffy rather than gummy.
