Instant Pot Rice

I have found a fool proof way to make outstanding rice - in my Instant Pot. I did a lot of research before   I found a recipe on the NYT Cooking website that resulted in perfect rice.

Start out by rinsing your  rice in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear.  Add your rice to the Instant Pot with water and some sea salt.  Stir and place the lid on your Instant Pot.  Place the valve on seal and choose the rice option on your Instant Pot.  Once the rice is done let the rice rest for 5 minutes and then move the valve to the vent setting.    Fluff the rice with a fork, let it rest, and serve.  Perfect rice.
