Ingredients

  • 2 cups long grain white rice such as basmati or jasmine
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt optional

Instructions

  • Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water. Drain rice well and put it in the Instant Pot.
  • Add water to the pot, and salt, if desired. Stir. Make sure that all of the rice is in the water, not stuck to the sides of the pot.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and move the steam release valve to the sealing position.
  • Use the Pressure Cook or Manual function to cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.
  • When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 15 minutes by leaving the Instant Pot alone.
  • Carefully move the steam release valve to the venting position to quick release any remaining pressure. When the pin drops down, open the Instant Pot lid.
  • Fluff rice and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth for the water. If using broth, omit the salt.
  • To cook only 1 cup of dry rice, use 1 cup of water. The cook time will be the same.
  • You can cook up to 4 cups of dry rice in a 6 quart Instant Pot. Use a 1:1 rice to water ratio and keep the cook time the same.
