Rinse rice with cold water in a fine mesh sieve thoroughly until water runs clear. Drain really well.
In Instant Pot, add rice, cold water and a pinch of salt. Stir to make sure rice is submerged in water. Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on High pressure or Manual for 3 minutes.
After, do Natural Release by allowing pressure come down on its own for 10 minutes and then turn valve to Venting to release remaining pressure.
Open the lid, fluff rice with a fork and serve as you like.
