Step 1

Stovetop Red LentilsBring the lentils and water to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, then cover and cook the lentils until they reach desired texture, anywhere from 5 to 12 minutes. Most, if not all, of the water will be absorbed by the lentils. Season with salt after cooking.

Step 2

5 to 7 minutes: Tender/firm8 minutes: Tender/soft9 minutes: Soft, starting to get mushy10+ minutes: Very soft/mushy

Step 3

Instant Pot Red LentilsCombine 1 cup lentils with 2 cups water in an Instant Pot. Secure the lid and make sure the steam release valve is in the sealed position. Program the Instant Pot to cook at high pressure for 3 to 5 minutes (I usually cook them for 3 minutes). Let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes, then turn the steam release valve to "venting" to immediately release the steam. Season with salt after cooking.

Step 4

Instant Pot Red Lentil Cooking Time3 to 5 minutes: Very soft, creamy, mushy
