How to Cook Jasmine Rice in the Instant Pot

Wondering how to cook jasmine or white rice in the instant pot? Just follow these instructions and use that rice setting button to make perfect jasmine rice in the Instant Pot every single time.

I remember my younger brother would always eat a large bowl of rice every day after school. It was his go to after school snack.

And I wouldn't be surprised if my oldest son decides to eat a bowl of rice every day just like his uncle. He loves rice that much.

My youngest son though? Not so much.

And my husband can't fathom eating plain white rice unless it's buried in butter, cinnamon, and sugar. He will eat it when we have sweet and sour meatballs because he can cover it with the meatballs and extra sauce.

As for me? I'll eat rice in any form. Usually with some soy sauce and a little bit of salt and pepper. Yum.

What I like most about cooking rice in the Instant Pot is that it's easy. I can toss it all in before I teach piano lessons and I know it will be perfectly cooked by the time I'm done. Even if I have a bunch of piano lessons back to back, which is usually the case. So even if it sits on the warm function for an hour or two, it's still perfectly fluffy and delicious.

About Instant Pot Rice Cooking Times & Directions

I remember when one of my adult piano students tried cooking rice in her Instant Pot after she first purchased hers, following some recipe she found online. She said it came out terrible and crunchy. When I asked her what measurements she used, she said 1:1 for rice and liquid. I'm not surprised it failed.

Don't use the 1:1 ratio.

It's not how you get perfect jasmine rice in an Instant Pot.

I've also seen other Instant Pot rice recipes that use short cooking times or the manual button. Maybe those work, I don't know. I haven't personally tried them.

But what I do know is that the rice recipe below works perfectly. So I've never had a reason to try anything else.

I've never had rice come out crunchy or undercooked.

It's absolutely perfect and fluffy every single time using this method.

Yep, it's one of those foolproof recipes for Instant Pot beginners that I suggest to start with when you are first learning how to use your Instant Pot.
