Instructions

  • Add water to the Instant Pot bowl.
  • Add in the steaming rack and then place the sweet potatoes on the rack.
  • Cover and seal the Instant Pot
  • Select the steam programme, set timer for about 12 mins and let cook till done.
  • Allow the Instant Pot pressure to reduce naturally, this may take about 15 minutes.
  • Open, remove the sweet potato and serve.

Notes

Tips.
  • Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
  • The cooking time may vary a bit depending on the size of your sweet potato.  I tend to use smaller sweet potatoes. Medium to larger sweet potatoes can take anything from 15-18 mins to cook. Try 12 mins the first time you cook some and see their doneness. And adapt the cooking time on the next go.
