Ingredients
  

  • One cup of long grain white rice
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • One cup of water
  • Large pat of salted butter

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Place the rice, salt, water, and butter into the inner liner of your Instant Pot (or other brand of electric pressure cooker).
  2. Put the lid on the pressure cooker, ensure the steam valve closes, and press the "rice" button.
  3. The pre-set cook time is four minutes on low pressure.
  4. When the timer beeps, let the unit manually depressurize. This process takes about 10 minutes, but it will deliver the best results.
  5. Spoon the rice into a large serving dish and fluff it with a fork.

Notes

The rice to water ratio is 1:1. If you want to make a more sizeable batch, feel free. You will need to three extra minutes of cook time if you double up this recipe.
While the total "cooking time" is only four minutes, it might take five to ten minutes for the unit to pressurize and another ten to twelve minutes to depressurize. Use the "wait time" to prep your meal or sip a cup of tea (you deserve it!)
