    • Measure the rice and liquids right to make sure the ratio works. 1 to 1 ratio helps to avoid mushy rice. One cup of dry rice, 3 cups of cooked rice, two cups of dry rice make 6 cups of cooked rice.
    • Always rinse rice; this way, you remove starch and avoid foamy rice in the Instant pot later.
    • When sealing the pot, make sure the valve is turned to the seal position.
    • Don’t overcook the rice; avoid letting it sit in the instant pot longer.
    • If you are doubling the recipe, the cooking time and technique will stay the same.
    • The rice is naturally bright white but will change color if you add seasoning and broth.
    • Store in the airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
