Pressure Cooker Long Grain White Rice

Yield:  6 cups

Approximate Total Time:  35 minutes 

Electric Pressure Cooker Size:  6 quarts

2 cups long grain white rice

2 1/4 cups water

1 tsp. salt*

1 tbsp. butter*

Measure rice into a 2-qt. bowl and cover with cold water.  Swish with your fingers to remove starch.  Drain, and continue rinsing the rice using this process until the water is clear.  Drain.  Combine all ingredients in the pressure cooker pot.  Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to Sealing. Select the RICE button and adjust (if needed) so it's on the "Normal" setting. If your pressure cooker does not have a rice button, select PRESSURE COOK (Manual) and cook for 12 minutes on LOW pressure.  

Once the 12-minute cooking cycle is complete, select CANCEL or unplug the unit. (This will turn off the pressure cooker as any extra heat can cause the rice to stick.) Allow the pressure to release naturally, which will take about 6 minutes. Remove lid, fluff with fork, and serve.

*Salt and butter are optional or can be adjusted as desired.

Note: Use a standard dry measuring cup for the rice and a glass liquid measuring cup for the water.

Rice firmness:

*Al Dente (firmer) texture: Decrease water to 2 cups. Everything else will stay the same. This will yield about 5 cups of rice.

*Softer texture: Increase water to 2 1/2 cups. Everything else will stay the same. This will yield about 6 cups of rice.
