  • Ensure the sealing ring is in place, then close the lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
  • Press the “Manual” button and set the timer to 20 minutes. It will take about X minutes to reach pressure.
  • Once the cooking time ends, the Instant Pot will display "L0:05" for a 5-minute natural pressure release. After 5 minutes, quickly release any remaining pressure. Press the “Cancel” button.
  • Open the pot, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve immediately.
