About this deal

You can use the metal trivet or rack that comes with all Instant Pots if the food you are steaming is large enough that it won’t fall between the bars.

Here are a few tips on how to steam in an Instant Pot, whether you are cooking vegetables, chicken, or something more delicate like salmon. As soon as the vegetables are finished cooking, open the Instant Pot Pressure cooker using "Quick Release". Check your manual if you are not sure what that is for your Instant Pot, and make sure you don’t use less than that amount.

The only un-perfect thing about this way of hard boiling eggs is that, every so often, one of the eggs will crack its shell during cooking. But if you want to try and see if steaming in Instant Pot is for you, you can still make steamed vegetables in the Instant Pot without it. I've actually been sitting on this revelation for a few months now, just because I didn't trust the evidence I saw with my own eyes: Two eggs or a dozen, fresh eggs or weeks old, white eggs or brown eggs, it didn't matter. This instant pot steamed vegetables recipe is so stress-free, you'll never want to steam veggies any other way again! Like many of you, I abandoned the dream of finding one surefire method for making consistently perfect hard boiled eggs some time ago.

This cooking method has only one disadvantage – you can’t check on the vegetables while they are cooking because the lid of the Instant Pot is locked. While it may not be that much quicker overall to steam in an Instant Pot it is certainly easier as you don’t need to supervise your food closely as you would if you were steaming in a pan on the stovetop.Steaming is a great way to cook food quickly and evenly, making it a perfect method for cooking in the Instant Pot.

If you don’t put the vent in the sealing position, the steam escapes out of the vent and your food won’t cook right. It takes about 5 minutes for the cooker to come up to high pressure, 5 minutes to cook the eggs, and then 5 minutes of natural pressure release before removing the eggs from the cooker—hence the "5-5-5" method. After cooking is done, let the pressure cooker sit for 5 minutes with the lid on and the steam vent "sealed" to allow steam to begin releasing naturally. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":259,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":410,"licensing":"

\u00a9 2023 wikiHow, Inc. Vegetables: Whether you are cooking fresh or frozen vegetables, steaming is the best way to cook them.

Both steaming and pressure cooking vegetables are fast and effective and retain the vegetable's nutrients. Steaming is the best approach to cooking them in the Instant Pot as it is a more gentle cooking method. If you want to check the food mid-way through steaming, it's best to use the saute function instead of the steam function. If you open the lid and the vegetables are still undercooked, close the lid, and the residual heat will steam the vegetables some more.
