Instant Pot Artichokes
Instant Pot artichokes are quick to make, taking less than 15 minutes, and they are tender and perfectly steamed!
Note: Made in a 6-qt Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 2-4 medium artichokes
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or mayonnaise, for dipping
Instructions
- Clean the artichokes by removing the top 1/3 of the leaves and cutting off the stem.
- Place the trivet or a steamer basket in the Instant Pot inner pot. Pour in water.
- Place the artichoke on the trivet, stems down.
- Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing. Press the pressure cook button and set the timer to 8 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
- Use natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then release the remaining pressure. If they aren’t as soft as you would like, put the lid back on immediately and set the time for another 2 minutes.
- Serve with butter or mayonnaise.
Notes
- Larger artichokes may need up to 25 minutes or more of cooking time. For large artichokes, start with 25 minutes, and increase the time by 4 minutes, if they are not as soft as you would like.
- You can quickly reset the timer if the artichokes are not cooked enough for you. Just place the lid back on and set more time. It will take only a few minutes to come back up to pressure. If cooking a second time, there's no need for a natural pressure release.
