Notes for steaming rice in an electric pressure cooker:

An electric pressure cooker does not require as much water as an ordinary pot when steaming rice, because its closed environment can effectively lock in water, so the ratio of rice to water is about 1:1, that is, the water should be about 1 centimeter below the rice. In addition, when steaming rice in an electric pressure cooker, you can adjust the taste, select the pressure time, and adjust the softness or hardness of the cooked rice. When cooking at the end, be sure to move the pressure relief valve to the sealing position, otherwise the water will turn into steam and escape, resulting in cooking failure.
