Instant Pot White Rice That’s Better Than in a Rice Cooker

Alongside potatoes and oatmeal, white rice is pretty much the only carb source that I eat on a regular basis. I used to always cook it in a rice cooker, until one day I stumbled upon a recipe for making instant pot white rice that genuinely turns out way better than any rice I’ve ever made with the rice cooker. All you need is the rice, some water, and just a pinch of salt. Add it all into your instant pot and within a few minutes you’ll be all set to enjoy your rice.
