Ingredients
- 4 cups parboiled rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Removing the liner from your Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker). With the rice measuring cup, measure out 4 cups of parboiled rice into the liner.
- Next fill the liner with water and swish the rice around to help loosen any starch.
- Drain and repeat the process several times to rinse off all of the starch from the rice until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain a final time. (rinsing the rice before cooking helps the rice not stick to the bottom of the Instant Pot when it cooks)
- Next, measure 4 cups of water using the same measuring device you used to measure the rice. Add the water to the rinsed rice.
- Give a slight stir, then add 2 tbsp of unsalted butter and a pinch of salt.
- Place the liner pot back into the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. Lock the lid and set the valve to sealing.
- Then, on your Instant Pot press the white rice pre-set button. Check the settings to make sure the Instant Pot is set to 12 mins on High Pressure. Make the necessary adjustments if this is not the case. Press the white rice button again to turn off the warming feature.
- Once cooking has completed, use the quick release valve to release the pressure. Once all pressure is released, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
- After fluffing the rice with a fork, then you can use the rice paddle to remove the cooked rice from the Instant Pot.
