How Make Instant Pot Green Beans <\/h2>\n

If you are unfamiliar with cooking in an Instant Pot or the functions of your Instant Pot<\/a>, be sure to start with my guide for using an Instant Pot<\/a> for the best results on this and future recipes. You will find the full recipe in detail in the recipe card below. <\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prepare Green Beans.<\/strong> Unless you purchased bagged green beans from the produce section that are already washed and trimmed, you will need to wash your green beans and trim off the ends before pressure-cooking them. <\/li>\n
  2. Add Water to the Inner Pot.<\/strong> It is best to use cold tap water to ensure accurate cooking time. Use 1 cup for a 3 or 6-quart electric pressure cooker model, and 1-1\/2 cups for an 8-quart model. <\/li>\n
  3. Add Green Beans to the Inner Pot.<\/strong> The best tool to use for steaming green beans in the inner pot is a steamer basket.<\/a> However, if you don\u2019t have one, just carefully place the green beans on a trivet. Don\u2019t set your beans in the water, as this will boil the beans, not steam them. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Pressure Cook<\/strong>. To perfectly steam green beans in the Instant Pot, you only need to bring the pressure cooker to pressure. That means you want to set the cooking time to 0 minutes. If you desire softer green beans, set the cooking time to 1 minute. <\/li>\n
    2. Release Pressure<\/strong>. This is one recipe that it is crucial to immediately release pressure<\/strong> after the cooking time has elapsed. In the case of this green bean recipe, release pressure as soon as pressure has been reached, as by the time the Instant Pot has reached pressure, the green beans will be perfectly crisp-tender and you want to immediately stop the cooking process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Kristen\u2019s Tip<\/p>\n

      Use caution when doing a quick release of pressure, as the steam is very hot and can easily burn you. Stand at a distance from the venting knob and use a wooden spoon or pot holder to unlock or release the venting knob.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
