The Instant Pot is wonderful at making rice for many reasons. If you are cooking dinner at the stove, this frees up another dinner chore because this white rice practically makes itself.

We start off using a long grain white rice. We do not rinse the rice before cooking. You can try either long grain or short grain white rice.

  • Add 1 cup of white rice to the Instant Pot.
  • Add 1-1/4 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pot; stir gently.
  • Lay 1 tablespoon of butter on top of the rice.
  • Secure the lid and turn the valve in the back to “SEALING.”
  • Push the “RICE” button to start the cooking process.
  • When the rice is finished cooking and you hear the beep, let rice stay in the pot for 8 additional minutes.
  • After 8 minutes, turn the valve in the back to ‘VENTING” to release any pressure.
  • Hit the “CANCEL” button and carefully remove the pot. Fluff rice with a fork and add additional salt & pepper if necessary. And YUM, always add a little bit more butter.
