Cook perfect rice in your instant pot
'''This stupid little script I use all the time to make perfect rice in my instant pot.
I also have a Siri Shortcut in the event that I'm near my HomePod, or other Apple devices.
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c67d4960a15b42d6afb0cc58c649ff03 Just tell Siri, Cook Rice.
It makes the perfect white rice in your pressure cooker or instant pot.
How I use it, is to use a kitchen scale to weigh my inner pot (which is always 1102 grams,
but added in the formula in the event I find myself at someone else's house and need to make some perfect rice).
I then weigh my rice individually to get the weight. I then wash my rice in multiple changes of water until it runs clear.
And this is where the total_pot_weight comes in handy. Since the washed rice is wet and heavier, I calculate what the total
should be based on the inner pot weight, the weight of the rice, and how much water should be added.'''
inner_pot_weight = input("How much does your inner pot weigh: ")
RiceWeight = input("How much does your rice weigh in grams: ")
water_amount = (int(RiceWeight) * .19) + int(RiceWeight)
total_pot_weight = int(inner_pot_weight) + int(RiceWeight) + int(water_amount)
print(f'You will need to add {water_amount:.0f} grams of water, and your total pot weight will be {total_pot_weight} grams.')
print("Set your pressure cooker to white rice, and do a natural release after 10 minutes.")
