Instant Pot Rice
Cooking rice in the Instant Pot is SO easy! The best part is that it’s literally a “hands off” cooking process. Simply rinse the rice and add equal parts rice and water to the Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for the appropriate time for the type of rice you are cooking (cook times below) allow Instant Pot to Naturally Release for 10 minutes after the cooking cycle is done and that’s it!
