Ingredients

1 cup rice (Basmati white, Jasmin white, Basmati brown, short-grain brown, red, black, wild, wild blend, sushi)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Add all ingredients into the Instant Pot. You can double, triple or quadruple all ingredients in same amounts.
Make sure sealing ring is placed properly in lid, add lid, turn shut and turn knob to sealing position.
Cook on high pressure for the number of minutes instructed below depending on the type of rice:
White Rice (Basmati or Jasmin): 3 minutes
White Sushi Rice: 5 minutes
Brown Rice (Basmati): 22 minutes
Short Grain Brown Rice: 24 minutes
Red Rice: 30 minutes
Wild Rice Blend: 28 minutes
Wild Rice: 30 minutes
Black Pearl Rice: 30 minutes
Natural Pressure Release until pin drops. Takes on average 9-12 minutes (max. 18 minutes for 1 cup and max 30 mins for 4 cups).
Remove all rice from pot immediately to avoid it sticking to the bottom. If needing to keep warm, leave rice in pot after natural pressure release without opening the lid to avoid steam being released and drying out the rice > making it stick to the bottom.

Notes

I use a US standard cup. 236ml in volume.
I, personally, do NOT rinse or wash my rice.
Cooking time stays the same no matter how many cups you cook.
