How Steam Broccoli in the Instant Pot.
Want to achieve perfectly steamed broccoli in your Instant Pot? Here’s how! While your IP reaches pressure, the broccoli has already started to steam – and by the time the Instant Pot reaches full pressure, your veggie side dish will be cooked to perfection.
Cooking broccoli in the Instant Pot is a breeze – and done in just three easy steps!
- Start by trimming off any thick stems and discolored pieces.
- Then fill the pot with water, insert the trivet or steamer basket, and place the broccoli inside.
