How to Cook Fluffy Millet in an Instant Pot
Wondering how to cook fluffy millet in an Instant Pot? I will teach you everything you need to know!
Equipment
- 1 pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 2 cups millet
- 3 ½ cups liquid I used water, but you can also use broth if you want.
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Rinse the millet well. Add the millet, liquid, and salt to the pressure cooker.
- Set the pressure to high for 8 minutes. Be sure the lid is sealed.
- Once is it done cooking, let it natural release for 10 minutes. Once it has naturally released for 10 minutes, quick release to release the rest of the pressure.
- Fluff the millet with a fork and it is ready to go!
Notes
- Do not add too much liquid- this is a lower water-to-millet ratio than when you cook it on the cooktop. That is because the liquid is not boiled off with the pressure cooking. It holds it in. For this, you don't need more liquid. So, trust me when I say not to add more liquid than is called for.
- Do not overcook- this will cause the millet to become very mushy! You do not want that!
- Fluff with a fork- when the millet is done cooking, it will be stuck together, be sure to fluff it with a fork to get it light and fluffy.
