You have to be careful with recipes out there. I find just winging it works better. Also not all rice is the same so a recipe that works for them might not work for you.

Since there are many rice varieties and even just your plain white rice can be processed in a number of ways, rice is always a 50/50 shot. It doesn't matter the cooking method.
Oh and not to derail the thread but all recipes are a gamble.
I would say if one is new to an area, find recipes from your area.
I will give you a little tip on times in your pressure cooker. Make sure you do not use a high elevation recipe.
If you are doing an online recipe and the poster is from Denver, Albuquerque, Odessa or other high places, do not trust the cooking times. All of those places require either more pressure or longer cook times due to the boiling temperature of water.
Same thing with baking, a recipe that works for you may not work for me. Matter of fact if you used a high altitude baking recipe, whatever you baked would be flatter because of not enough leavening.
