Put rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse well until water runs clear.
Add rice to the insert of a 6 quart Instant Pot. Add water, oil, and salt. pushing down any rice that may be on the side of the pot to submerge in liquid.
Secure cover, turn valve to seal, and set Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 5 minutes (or on Manual, high pressure). When the timer goes off, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes (in other words, leave it alone for 10 minutes).
When 10 minutes has elapsed, quick release any remaining pressure. Remove lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.

Jae W on 2026-05-13 (5 stars): This is the first time rice has turned out perfectly in the Instant Pot. Thank you so much for the recipe. I love Jasmine rice now!! 😋 Much appreciated.
Cathy Z on 2026-03-28 (5 stars): I've made this recipe 15+ times with great success. Just wondering if you've ever increased the amount and done a larger batch? If I did 4 or 5 cups of water/rice, would the cook times stay the same?
Roger H Anderson on 2026-02-13 (5 stars): I have struggled to cook rice in my Instant Pot. It was always bad to mediocre. My wife would not eat it. I used this recipe yesterday with great success. I used chicken broth and butter. The result was a great bowl of rice.
Stevi on 2026-02-02 (5 stars): I used this recipe everytime. It’s so easy and I can do other things while the rice is cooked to perfection. Thank you!
Patricia Winston on 2025-10-30 (5 stars): Rice turned out perfect, thank you!
Kristin U on 2025-10-23 (5 stars): This is my go-to for rice these days. I don’t even own a rice cooker any longer since this Instant Pot recipe is so reliable.
BD Hodge on 2025-08-20 (5 stars): Works for me every time. I do turn it off as soon as 10 minutes have passed.
Crystal on 2025-08-05 (2 stars): I was really hoping this would work. I did the 1:1 ratio (although the jasmine rice i have shows 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water). I used my ninja pressure cooker, perhaps it differs? Needless to say: while building pressure it prompted me to add water. I lift the lid and noticed some browning at the bottom. Anyways, I added more water...wasn't sure how much at that point so i added another 3 cups and it came out mushy. I most likely added too much water. I had to throw it all out and just make it on the stove top.
Cindy on 2025-07-11 (5 stars): My rice cooker stopped working, and I used it all the time! I was not happy about the prospect of cooking rice on the stove top, as it usually doesn't go so well for me! Suddenly I realized that my instant pot has a rice setting, and i went online looking for a recipe for jasmine rice in particular. Found your recipe, tried it, and it worked! I've made it three times now, and got perfectly cooked rice every time! Thank you for coming to my rescue!
