Instructions

- Add 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and place trivet or steamer basket into the Instant Pot.
- Add beets, place lid and put on sealing mode.
- Turn Instant Pot on to high pressure for 12 minutes for soft beets (my favorite) and 7 minutes for crunchy beets.
- Once timer beeps, allow to sit another 14 minutes to steam.
- Using an oven mitt or wooden spoon, release pressure. Careful with the steam!
