Ingredients

  • 2 cups Long Grain White Rice, very well rinsed
  • 2 cups Water
  • pinch of Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Butter or Olive Oil (optional, but yields a nice result)

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to the inner liner pot of the Instant Pot®.

  2. Place the lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

  3. Press the Rice button* (or use the dial on the Ultra).

  4. When the cook cycle ends turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to do a Quick Release of the steam. Turn off the pot.

  5. When the pin in the lid drops down open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

  6. Serve immediately, or save for another recipe.

Recipe Notes

*If you don't have the RICE button, set your pressure cooker to LOW pressure for 12 minutes. Quick Release.

If you don't have the LOW pressure option, set time for 2-3 minutes (depending on how soft you like your rice) at High pressure. After cook cycle finishes, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, then do a Quick Release of the steam. Follow the remaining steps.
