• Wash and trim the beets leaves.
• Pour a cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place a steamer basket or trivet inside the Instant Pot and arrange the beets on top of that. Close the Instant Pot lid, with the vent on SEALINGCook on Manual or Pressure cook (high) for 15 minutes.
• Note: Adjust the cooking time depending upon the size of the beets.
• After Instantpot finishes cooking and goes on KEEP WARM timer mode, let pressure release naturally, around 10 minutes, and then manually remove the remaining pressure by moving the valve from SEALING to VENTING.
• Open the lid and check if beets are cooked by inserting a clean knife. If it goes through easily, the beets are cooked. If required cook for additional few minutes.
• Remove the beets from the Instant Pot and on to a plate. Once beets are cool, peel off the skin using your hands or with the help of a paper towel.
• Slice or cut into desired pieces. Enjoy beets as a side or in a salad!

Instant Pot Cooking Beet - Time Suggestions

• For small size cook for 10-12 minutes, for medium size beets between 15-18 minutes and for larger beets cook for 20-25 minutes. If you cut the beets in half or into quarters,  you can reduce cooking time to 10 minutes across the board
