Ingredients

  • Water [Note 1]
  • Ingredients to be steamed

Instructions

  • Add water to the stainless steel bowl [Note 1]
  • Place the steamer basket or trivet in the Instant Pot bowl
  • Add food to the steamer basket or trivet [Note 2]
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and turn the valve to 'sealing'.
  • Set the Instant Pot to low pressure, and select time [Note 3]
  • When the cooking time is up, use the 'quick release' method to open the Instant Pot and carefully remove the food.

Notes

  1. Check the minimum water requirements for your Instant Pot. You will need at least 1 cup/ 250ml of water.
  2. Use a steamer basket for small food or food that may fall apart once cooked, rather than the trivet.
  3. See the post for estimated cooking times charts.
