Rice. It’s one of the most popular side dishes that there is. It’s economical and versatile. It’s not very difficult to prepare.It’s not difficult to make white rice on the stovetop. But it can require a little time and stirring, and a watchful eye. There is a simpler way to cook it, in an electric pressure cooker such as the Instant Pot. This method is basically foolproof, as it doesn’t call for stirring, covering or even a watchful eye. Once ther ice is cooked, you can serve it immediately, or store it for later, for using in dishes such as fried rice. Here’s how I make Instant Pot White Rice.

• electric pressure cooker (I used a 6 Qt Instant Pot)
• measuring cups
• fine strainer

Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Glass Measuring Cup Set9″ Fine Mesh Strainer with Handle and HookInstant Pot DUO Plus 60, 6-Qt 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

• 2 cups long grain white rice
• 2 1/2 cups water (You can use chicken broth instead for bit more flavor.)
• 1 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Pour the water and oil into the Instant Pot. (The oil is not a must but I do find it helps the rice be slightly less sticky.)

Measure the rice and then rinse it out in the sink using a fine strainer.

Add the rice into the pot.

Set the Intant Pot to cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes. (You can set it for only 3 minutes if you like a very firm, al dente texture for your rice.)

Once the cooking cycle has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.

Move the rice to a bowl and then add butter, salt and pepper as desired.

Serve immediately or let cool a little and store for later use.
