Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup white or long grain rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 tsp ghee or butter
Instructions
- Add your ghee, rice, water, and salt to your Instant Pot.
- Make sure your vent is closed, then press the "Rice" button on your Instant Pot. If your Instant Pot does not have a "Rice" button, set it to "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" mode on low for 12 minutes.
Notes
• This is my favorite way to make rice in an Instant Pot. There are a few other ways, including cooking your rice in a separate dish inside your Instant Pot, but this way works well for us every time.
• I use Mahatma Long Grain White rice, so the ratio of rice to water is 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. Use the recommended ratio for the type of rice that you use.
• This recipe is very easy to double, triple, or quadruple, depending on how many people you are feeding. Just double (or triple) your rice, ghee, salt, and your water.
• To reheat leftover rice, microwave it with a damp towel over the bowl. The rice will absorb some moisture and be less "crunchy."
