2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon excellent quality pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

3 Lock lid in place. Select Rice setting, but cancel cooking after
3 minutes (3 minutes earlier than preset time.)
4 When cooking cycle is complete, release pressure manually.
When all pressure has been released, carefully remove lid, tilting it
away from you to avoid steam. Carefully remove ramekins using
tongs or potholders.
5 Serve warm or cold. Remove flan from ramekin by first running a
thin-bladed knife around edge of custard to loosen it. Invert onto
serving plate, letting the now liquid caramel dribble over top.
