Before starting, make sure that the stainless-steel liner bowl is in the Instant Pot.

- Step 1: Add the brown rice (1 cup) to the stainless-steel liner bowl of the Instant Pot, spreading it out evenly.

- Step 2: Add the water (1¼ cups) and press the rice down with the back of a spoon to submerge it as much as possible.

- Step 3: Lock the Instant Pot lid in place by turning it to the right.

- Step 4: Select Pressure Cook on High for 23 minutes and press Start.

- Step 5: When the timer beeps to signify the end of 23 minutes, allow a natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes. Then, hold down the Pressure Release knob with a wooden spoon to quickly release any remaining pressure.

- Step 6: Once the pressure has fully released (the metal Float Valve will drop), twist the lid to the left to unlock it. Remove the lid and stir the brown rice to fluff it before serving.
