Equipment
Electric Pressure Cooker (6 or 8 quart)
Steamer Basket for Instant Pot
Ingredients
1
pound
green beans
washed, ends trimmed
1
cup
water
desired seasonings
Instructions
Place 1 cup of water into a 6 quart pressure cooker and 1.5 cups into an 8 quart pressure cooker.
Place green beans into a steamer basket for the pressure cooker.
Place the steamer basket into the Instant Pot and seal the lid closed.
Set to high pressure and manual time of zero minutes. (Or 1 minute on high pressure for softer green beans.)
Do a quick release of power once time has elapsed.
Remove green beans from the pressure cooker, season, and serve as desired.
Notes
I prefer seasoning these steamed green beans with a bit of butter, salt, pepper, and the zest and juice of half a lemon.
Recipe can easily be doubled, but may desire to cook for 1 minute on high pressure.
