Stir and cook for a few minutes to coat grains with butter and toast the rice slightly. Add water and salt and cover the rice.

Rice is done when most of the water is absorbed and the rice has a creamy texture. In my electric pressure cooker this takes about 38 minutes, but it is a good idea to check at 30 minutes the first time through to see how quickly the rice cooks in your own pressure cooker.", "2.
