Start by choosing the right rice, whether it is Basmati, Jasmine or long grain rice. Follow your recipe, use the rice as desired and add the correct amount of water (usually 1:2 ratio).

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent sticky rice. This ultimately results in a light structure and the perfect rice.

Step 6: Let the rice rest

Once cooking is complete, let the rice rest for a while with the lid on the Instant Pot . This ensures that the rice absorbs the remaining steam for the perfect texture.
