- Add the rinsed quinoa and water to the Instant Pot.
- Seal the lid & set to pressure cook High for 5 minutes. *IMPORTANT* Make sure the “Keep Warm” button is OFF or it will burn!
- After the 5 minutes pass & the quinoa is finished cooking, leave the Instant Pot to self-release/natural release for 10 minutes (AKA: DO NOT release steam right away). Let the Quinoa sit for 10 minutes before releasing the rest of the steam.
