The BEST Instant Pot White Rice

We eat rice a few times a week at our house so once I actually decided to give my Instant Pot a try, I made it my mission to find the best recipe for Instant Pot Rice. One of our favorite meals with rice are Chicken Rice Bowls (I’ll have to give you that recipe soon!). Our chicken rice bowls require a lot of rice for our family of six which is another reason I love the Instant Pot. We can make a ton of rice in no time at all!

Now, rice is a tricky food to make. I hear all the time from friends that they struggle with the consistency. Sometimes it can be too sticky. Sometimes it can be too soupy. Sometimes it can be mushy. Sometimes it can be slightly uncooked. Really the list goes on and on with all the troubles that can arise when trying to make a good batch of rice.

I felt like I needed to state that above so that you would know and believe me that this recipe below is fail-proof. ha! Just follow the directions and you will be enjoying a great bowl of rice for dinner tonight!

I do have another rice recipe that I make on the stove that I absolutely love, but I needed something simpler. Something I could throw all in the pot and let it cook itself without any help from me.

Here is my oh-so-simple way to make Instant Pot White Rice! And once you try it I would love to know your thoughts! Tell me how you liked it and some of your favorite meals to enjoy with rice in the comments!

3 Cups of Basmati Rice

3 Cups of Water

4-6 TBS of Salted Butter

1/2 - 3/4 tsp Salt

Salt & Pepper to taste

Add all ingredients to Instant Pot. Secure Lid. Set Manual Option to 3 minutes (yes only 3 minutes!). Press Start. After timer goes off, let sit for 15 minutes on timer. Turn valve and release all pressure. Take off lid and stir with a fork. Serve and Enjoy!

Tip: If you let the rice sit for about 5-10 minutes after you remove the lid and stir, it is perfect!

Happy cooking!
