The Best Way to steam mushrooms in the instant pot
Hey there! Steaming mushrooms in an Instant Pot is super easy. Here's how to do it:
- Clean your mushrooms with a damp paper towel (don't rinse them or they'll get soggy)
- Add 1 cup of water to your Instant Pot
- Place the steamer basket or trivet inside
- Put your mushrooms in the basket
- Close the lid and set valve to 'sealing'
- Press 'Steam' button and set for:
- 2 minutes for button mushrooms
- 3 minutes for larger mushrooms
- When done, quick release the pressure
That's it! Your mushrooms should be perfectly steamed. 😊
Pro Tips:
- Don't overcrowd the basket
- Season after steaming
- If mushrooms are different sizes, cut larger ones in half
