4 BASIC INSTANT POT RECIPES
RICE, POTATOES, HARD BOILED EGGS, AND SHREDDED CHICKEN

- 1 cup Rice (1:1 Ratio water to rice)
- 1 cup water
BAKED POTATOES

WHITE RICE
Pour the water and rice into Instant Pot. 1:1 ratio. For every one cup of rice, add one cup of water.
Close the lid and the valve to sealing position.
Hit the "Rice" button on the pot. If there is no rice button, hit manual pressure cook for 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the valve. (this just means leave it alone for 10 min when timer goes off). You can release steam immediately.. but natural release helps the rice not stick to the bottom.
