The Best Way to steam garlic in the instant pot
Hey there! Steaming garlic in an Instant Pot is actually really simple. Here's how to do it:
- Take your whole head of garlic and cut about 1/4 inch off the top (the pointy end) so you can see all the cloves inside
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
- Put the trivet (the metal rack that came with your pot) inside
- Place the garlic head on the trivet with the cut side facing up
- Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to 'sealing'
- Press the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' button and set for 4 minutes
- When it's done, do a quick release of the pressure
That's it! The garlic will be super soft and you can just squeeze the cloves out.
Pro Tip: You can steam multiple heads at once - just make sure they're not stacked on top of each other!
