Pressure Cooker Arroz Con Leche

I faked it with some leftover rice we had, so I'm not sure about the measurements....

1/2 to 1 cup *cooked* rice (I just eyeballed it)
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large can evaporated milk
1 stick cinnamon
strip of lime rind
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Put the rice and 1/3 cup water into a metal bowl smaller than the pressure cooker and wrap tightly with foil.
Put the 1 1/2 cups water in the pressure cooker.
Put a grate/grill on the bottom of the pressure cooker (it keeps the metal bowl from touching the bottom of the cooker) and place the bowl inside.
Cook under pressure for 3 minutes.
Run the cooker under cold water to cool immediately.  Do not pour the water out of the cooker.
Add milks, cinnamon, rind, vanilla, and salt to the rice and wrap with foil.
Cook under pressure for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cooker cool on its own.
Remove the cinnamon and the rind and stir the rice to mix it all.

It's a bit sweeter than we're used to, but it's really good.  I'm going to try using milk instead of evaporated milk (we were low on milk) so that'll cut down on the sweetness.  I'll also get some more accurate measurements of the rice and times
