• Rinse the rice: Whether you’re cooking therice on the stovetop or in an Instant Pot, you’ll want to give it a good rinse. Place the rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse it under cold water for 1 to 2 minutes.

In the Instant Pot

• Place the rinsed rice and the water and/or broth in the Instant Pot liner and give it a stir.
• Close the lid on the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob on the top to SEAL. Set the Instant Pot to HIGH pressure for 22 minutes. It will take 7 to 8 minutes to come to pressure.
• Once the cooking time expires, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

On the stovetop

• Pour the rinsed rice and cold water into a medium saucepan. Give it a stir to combine.
• Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low or medium-low – whatever heat your stovetop needs to maintain a gentle simmer). Cover the saucepan and cook until all the water is absorbed.This takes 35 to 40 minutes on my stovetop, but every stovetop is different.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
