Cooking quinoa in the instant pot is so easy. Especially if you going to use the IP for something else afterwards. Simply rinse the pot!
1 c. quinoa
1-2/3 c. liquid
Pinch of salt, if desired
Even if quinoa is pre-washed, I still soak it for 10 minutes then rinse for the best flavor
Add quinoa, liquid, and salt to instant pot
Close lid and set on manual high for 2 minutes
Let IP naturally release for 10 minutes — NO LONGER
Quick release remaining steam
Carefully remove lid without dropping water back into pot
Fluff with a fork
If quinoa is exactly as you like it, spread it out on a plate to stop the cooking
If it may need a little more cooking, close the lid and let it sit for 2 minutes
