Instructions

Mix together the onion, sugar and vinegar and set aside.
Put the water, salt and pasta in the Instant Pot and give it a stir. Close the lid, make sure the valve is set to Sealing and push the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button. Adjust time using the + and - buttons to get to 5 minutes.
When it beeps that it's done, flip the valve from Sealing to Venting for a quick release and when the pin drops, remove the lid. Drain the pasta.
Whisk together the mayo, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper. Add the onion/vinegar mixture and pour over the pasta. Add the celery and cheese cubes and stir well. Refrigerate for several hours to develop the flavour.
