Notes
- Add at least two cups of water to the Instant Pot to create enough steam for pressure cooking. Place the squash on the trivet that comes with your Instant Pot to keep it out of the water and allow for more even cooking.
- If you don't want to cut the squash beforehand, cutting it in half after cooking can be easier and safer, as it is softer and less prone to slipping. Check out this post on how to cut spaghetti squash for more tips and tricks.
