  3. Keep heat on low or medium low by using keep warm function. Place butter in the pressure cooked macaroni. Mix well with a silicone spatula and let the butter melt.
  4. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix well. Add grated cheese (1/3 portion at a time) and stir constantly until the cheese fully melt.
  5. If the mac and cheese is too runny, turn the heat to medium using the Sauté Less function – Click cancel, Sauté and Adjust button twice – to reduce it down.
  6. Taste and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper (likely need a couple pinches of kosher salt to brighten the dish).
  7. Mac and Cheese needs to be served piping hot, so serve immediately! Enjoy!
