How to Cook Perfect Quinoa in the Instant Pot

Step 1

Rinse quinoa under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Spray the Instant Pot liner with cooking oil and add the rinsed quinoa (still damp), water and salt.

Step 3

Lock the lid and set the steam valve to its “sealing” position.

Step 4

Select the “MANUAL” button and cook for 1 minute on high pressure. It will take about 5 minutes for the pressure to build, then the countdown timer will start.

Step 5

Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.

Step 6

Fluff quinoa with a fork and serve.
