Chef's Notes

*the amount of time you let your rice naturally release pressure will depend on what consistency you like. 8 minutes will give you a little moister rice and 10 minutes will give you a little drier rice.

all recipes make 3 cups, except the Mexican rice which makes 3 1/2 cups
the serving size is 1 cup
nutrition info for pesto rice depends on what kind of pesto you use (I used Trader Joe’s Vegan Pesto)
all instant pot rice recipes can easily be doubled or tripled
