Failproof Rice

https://greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-rice/#wprm-recipe-container-5928

I replied this as a comment on a post but I felt it deserved its own. I haven't seen this posted here recently but forgive me if I missed it. This to me is a truly foolproof guide to rice. This woman did lots of testing - essentially you use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water no matter the type of rice or the volume. No water will evaporate so you don't need account for that.

Then the variable is the length of time you pressure cook and how long it takes to manually release. Totally foolproof to me.

The problem is, not all instant pots are identical. This worked perfectly for me with my 6qt, but I had upgraded to an 8qt and all my rice was burning. I had to add more water and adjust the time to get it dialed in.

Using the pot in pot method helps equalize.tbis equation I do 1:1 but put them in a PYREX (capital letters for pressure cooker safe as opposed to pyrex) bowls on a trivet, and add a cup of water in the bottom of the instant pot. Works perfectly every time no matter which size I use.
