How To Get Your Broccoli Ready For the Instant Pot-
You are only using broccoli florets for this recipe, so you can either purchase a bag already pre-washed for the Instant Pot. Or you can cut the broccoli head into broccoli florets.
Cutting them from the broccoli head: if you need to cut your broccoli, use a sharp knife and cut the broccoli florets where they meet the stem. If the florets are large, you can split them in half by cutting the stem and the florets in half.
If you want to add the broccoli stem to the Instant Pot, to steam it, add it in, otherwise dispose of it. Or save it in the freezer for soups, etc.
How To Place Your Broccoli In the Instant Pot For The Broccoli To Steam
I personally use a steamer basket, but if you do not have one, add the broccoli and the water to the Instant Pot.
Set the timer to 0 minutes, but note it will take about 5 minutes to get the instant POt to pressure.
When the time is up, do a quick release, meaning to open the valve and let the rest of the pressure out, so that you can open your Instant Pot.
