Instructions

  • Pour the hot water* into the liner of your Instant Pot.

  • Lock your lid into place and turn the knob to 'sealing'.
  • Press 'STEAM' and adjust the time down to 0 (ZERO) mintues.
  • The Instant Pot will come to pressure (will take 5-10 mintues) and after it has been brought to pressure it will beep letting you know the cook cycle is over. At this point, manually move the knob over to 'vent' to quick release the pressure.
  • Once the pressure has all been released, remove the lid and your broccoli is done!
