Wash the rice and drain water. Put the rice in a bowl. Add 1 cup water for cooking rice in the bowl. Optionally, Add salt and ghee/oil if you prefer.
Add 1 cup water to the main insert of the pressure cooker. Place trivet in the main insert. Place the bowl with rice and water on the trivet.
Close the lid of the pressure cooker with vent in sealing position. Set in pressure cook or manual mode for 6 minutes at high pressure. (Note: if using a glass bowl, cook for 9 minutes at high pressure)
When the pressure cooker beeps, do a 10 minute Natural Pressure Release, which means release the pressure 10 minutes after the beep.
Fluff the rice and it is ready to be enjoyed.

Notes
Ratio: If you like softer rice, you can increase the ratio of rice to water to 1:1.25 or 1:1.5. Totally up to your taste preference.Make it a meal: When cooking rice with an entree, consider the cooking time for the entree. If it is around the same range 5-12 minutes to cook the entree, then pot-in-pot rice with the entree in the main insert would work. However if the entree needs 30 minutes to cook, while the rice needs only 6 minutes, I do not recommend doing pot-in-pot white rice with the entree. You can consider pot-in-pot brown rice. Pot-in-pot container: I highly recommend to use a stainless steel bowl for pot-in-pot cooking. If using a glass bowl, make sure it is is oven safe and approved for pressure cooking. You will need to add 3-4 minutes more cooking time with a glass bowl.Created: This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Programmable Pressure Cooker.
