• Pour two cups rice and two cups water in the removable metal pot.
• Plug your Instant Pot in.
• Turn it on and press MANUAL.
• Adjust the + button to 22 (for 22 minutes).
• Line up the arrows on the lid and turn the lid until it locks.
• Make sure the lid is closed and turn the vent lock to closed (turn it to sealing).
• Leave the Instant Pot and go about your day!

If you want to serve the rice right away and don’t want to wait for the natural pressure release, here how to do that:

• Let the rice cook for 22 minutes.
• Once it is at zero on the countdown, wait 5 minutes to let the pressure naturally release.
• Then, use an oven mitt to turn the vent lock to venting (so that it’s open). VERY IMPORTANT: It is HOT!
• Let the steam fully release (the floating valve will drop down when it’s released).
• Open the lid and your rice is ready!
