Mornings can be so hectic. We know that. Let your pressure cooker relieve the pressure of cooking breakfast with this quick and easy Instant Pot recipe. Try this "no-stir" method for making creamy grits. Serve with eggs and bacon for a heartier meal.
How to Make It
Combine cornmeal, 2 cups of the water, milk, oil, and garlic in a 4-cup glass measure. Pour remaining water into inner pot of a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the steam rack in cooker. Place the 4-cup glass measure on top of the rack.
Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot®. Turn the steam release handle to "Sealing" position. Press [Manual]; select "High Pressure," and use [-] or [+] to choose 25 minutes pressure cooking time. When time is up, turn cooker off. Open the cooker using Natural Pressure Release (page 4).
