How to make white rice in the Instant Pot

Today I'm going to show you how to make white rice in the Instant Pot. I did an Instant Pot rice experiment in my kitchen. I tried making long grain white rice 4 different ways and I show you the results.

For my experiment I tested the rice four different ways:
1. A 1 cup rice to 1 cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
2. A 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
3. Rinsed rice with a 1 cup rice to 1 cup water ratio, 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
4. Rinsed rice with a 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water with a 5 minute cooking time and a 5 minute NPR.

Note: I did NOT use the "rice cup" that came with my Instant Pot. I used a regular measuring cup.

An important note: You need at least 1 1/2 cups of water in your 6 quart Instant Pot to make it come to pressure with a moisture absorbing ingredient like rice. Therefore I do not suggest cooking less than 1 cup of rice in your Instant Pot. If you want to just make a small batch of rice then you can use the pot-in-pot method.

Results:
1. The thing I found the most interesting was that the rinsed rice wasn't any less sticky than the unrinsed rice. Lesson learned...don't waste time rinsing long grain white rice. It doesn't make a difference.
2. I was skeptical that a 1:1 ratio would even work. It did though. However the rice was not as soft and not as moist as the 1:1.5 ratio.
3. I preferred the unrinsed rice that had the 1:1.5 ratio. It is soft and fluffy and moist.
4. I need to do one more experiment with a 1:1.25 ratio. I believe that this might be the best ratio yet. Alas, I ran out of rice and time. But I believe that the best way to make long grain white rice is by using a 1 cup rice to 1 ¼-½ cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and a 5 minute natural pressure release.
