Found this recipe after my Instant Pot broke, and I probably won’t go back to cooking it any other way but this one – it’s perfect!

Great recipe! Made the best white rice! Didn’t have chicken broth so I used water instead… still came out great. Can’t wait to use the chicken broth next time.

The perfect recipe for rice! We cook this often. Until we found this recipe it would often turn out sticky or just not “right”. Follow directions precisely and it’s great every time!!!
