Rinse rice (2 cups, 410 g) well with water using strainer. Add rice and cooking liquid (3 cups, 710 g) to Instant Pot insert. Mix well and add salt and spices (optional). Cover with lid and lock in place. Be sure the valve is locked. Set Instant Pot to high pressure for 3 minutes. After the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 3 minutes. Then manually release by quickly pushing valve open. Take caution when doing this as the steam will be hot.
Once all of the pressure has released and the lid unlocks, remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot off. Remove the insert and set it on a heat proof trivet for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and it is ready to serve. Enjoy in your favorite dishes!
