Steps
1
Use a dry measuring cup (or kitchen scale) to measure the white basmati rice. Place the rice in a strainer and rinse it under running water. Use your hands to move the grains around gently and continue to rinse until the water runs clear.
2
Transfer the white basmati rice into the Instant Pot and add extra virgin olive oil and salt. Mix with a spoon until coated evenly.
3
Add the filtered water and even out the rice grains.
4
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and rotate to lock it in place.
5
Set the Instant Pot to manual mode, high pressure for 5 minutes, and turn off the warming option.
6
When it's done cooking, the pressure cooker will beep, then start a timer for 10 minutes to let some pressure release naturally. After 10 minutes, release any extra built-up pressure that hasn’t been released naturally. It's important to remove the rice chamber from the Instant Pot after releasing the pressure so that it doesn't dry out.
7
Slide open the lid and use a rice paddle to gently fluff up the rice. Serve immediately.
