Step 1

Add polenta, water, and salt to instant pot. Stir well. Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to the sealing position.

Step 2

Use the "porridge" setting, which will pressure cook the polenta for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the polenta is finished allow the instant pot to naturally release pressure. If you attempt quick release you will have splatters of polenta all over your kitchen. I know from experience ;-)

Step 4

Once pressure has naturally released open lid and stir well with a flat edge wooden spoon.

Step 5

Add your favorite mix-in's or toppings. Simple butter, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese works quite well.
