Equipment
- 1 6-Quart Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups water
- 2 cups rice
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Place rice and water in the insert of an Instant Pot. (I like to stir it to try to make sure all of the rice is submerged in the water.) Add salt, if desired.
- Secure the lid and make sure the steam release valve is set to "sealing." Set the Instant Pot to high pressure/manual for 3 minutes. (It will take about 7 minutes to pressurize before the 3 minutes will start counting down.)
- Natural release the steam for 10 minutes. Turn the steam valve to the venting position to quick release the remaining steam.

Notes
- This recipe was tested in a 6-quart Instant Pot.
- This recipe works with long-grain rice like jasmine rice or basmati rice. Do not use Minute Rice.
- For a firmer texture, reduce the cooking time to 2 minutes.
- For softer rice, increase the cooking time to 4 minutes.
- Remember, while there may be a RICE button on your Instant Pot, you need to use the PRESSURE function.
