Step 1

Place rice in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold water for 1 minute, or until liquid almost runs clear.

Step 2

Add rice, water, butter, or oil, and salt to a 6-quart Instant Pot.

Step 3

▪ If you like softer rice: add 1 ¼ cups water.

Step 4

▪ If you prefer firmer rice: add 1 cup water.

Step 5

Cover Instant Pot with the lid and move the pressure release valve too sealed.

Step 6

Using the pressure cook or manual function, set the timer for 6 minutes on high pressure.

Step 7

It will take the pressure cooker about 5-10 minutes to fully pressurize.

Step 8

Once the timer goes off let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Move the pressure release handle to the venting position to let any remaining steam escape. Open the lid once the float valve goes down. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and serve immediately.
