Vanilla-Scented Rice Pudding
Cheesy Herbed Polenta
| By : |
Polenta is often considered a labor-intensive dish that requires constant attention to continue stirring throughout the 30-minute stovetop cooking time. However, I recently began using a different technique to cook polenta, covering it and letting it cook unattended, save a few occasional stirs. It turned out so well, I knew the grain would be perfect in the Instant Pot, where it takes even less effort. It’s a delicious accompaniment to a whole roasted chicken and blanched vegetables.

This recipe can be confusing to some. At first I thought set the jar in the IP? Then I re-read the entire page and decided it must mean grab the jar you had pre-mixed and empty into the IP. But, doesn’t this give you a burn message?
Hi Cam,
After adding the dry ingredients, place all of the jarred ingredients into the Instant Pot. Then you add the 8 cups of chicken broth/water. Once you have made sure the lid is in the sealed position, that is when you turn on and select Pressure Cook or Manual to cook. The recipe calls for enough liquid, preventing the Burn message from appearing.
Is it possible to add milk / cream instead of water / chicken broth?
Milk is best to add into at the end of cooking. Milk has the tendency to separating when pressure cooked. If you would like to experiment with using milk try cream instead mixed with the broth.
Hello. Sorry, I’m still confused by the directions in this recipe. Do I put all of the dry ingredients in an actual jar then put this jar into the instant pot?
