Method 2 : Cooking inside a vessel

  • Rinse rice well, drain water and add to a vessel that will fit inside the Instant pot.
  • Add 2 cups of water for 1/2 cup rice - I use this ratio here : 1(rice) : 3.5(water) cups.
  • Pour water inside Instant pot - Place the trivet.
  • Keep the vessel containing rice, close with lid.
  • Set to pressure cooker mode in high for 20 mins.Let it to naturally pressure release.
  • Now open perfect soft rice is ready.
  • Perfect soft cooked rice is ready!
