Notes

  • DIPS

  • The amount of water you need will vary depending on what size Instant Pot you have.

    The 8 Quart Models need 1.5 cups of liquid. The 6 Quart Models need 1 cup of liquid. The 3 Quart Models need .75 cups of liquid.

  • The 8 Quart Models need 1.5 cups of liquid.
  • The 6 Quart Models need 1 cup of liquid.
  • The 3 Quart Models need .75 cups of liquid.
  • Do not wash your artichokes until right before you are ready to prepare them. To keep them fresh as long as possible, put a little bit of water on the stem then dab it off before storing in the fridge.
  • Quick release the pressure and remove the lid as soon as you are able to avoid mushy artichokes.
  • Do not slice your artichokes in half until after they are done cooking. Putting them in the pressure cooker in half will likely cause them to overcook.
  • Serve the cooked artichokes with your favorite dip.
  • Melted Herb Butter - ½ cup melted salted butter with ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • Balsamic Mayo Dip - ¼ cup real mayonnaise with ¼-½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Melted Lemon Garlic Butter - ½ cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon lemon, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
