Instructions

Scrub beets to remove as much dirt as you can; cut off stems about one inch from base.
Place steaming rack inside Instant Pot (pressure cooker) and fill with 1 cup water for 6qt Instant Pot (2 cups for 8qt Instant Pot) and place beets on steaming rack in one layer; not piling on top of each other.
Using Instant Pot manual mode and vent in the sealing position, cook beats for 15 minutes. Larger beets may need about 20 minutes. Smaller beets about 2" in diameter may only need 10 minutes.
Pressure release: Once the timer goes off, carefully manually release the pressure.
Remove and rinse: Use tongs to remove beets and place them in colander; rinse beets under cold water and gently rub skins off.
Serve and store: Place beets on cutting board and trim ends off. Cut into quarters, slices or make into noodles for easy meal prep.

Notes

WATER - use 1 cup water for 6qt Instant Pot. If you have a larger 8qt Instant Pot, use 2 cups water.
STORAGE - cooked beets will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
FREEZE - transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or to room temperature before enjoying.
