How To Make Instant Pot Rutabaga quickly so you can make all of your favorite rutabaga recipes like mashed rutabaga for the holidays. Cooks in less than 30 minutes when pressure cooked.
Peel the rutabaga with a vegetable peeler, then carefully cut it in half and into 2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in cold water as you work to prevent browning and keep everything evenly prepped.
Set a steamer basket or silicone sling into the Instant Pot. Drain the rutabaga cubes in a colander, rinse well to remove food-grade wax, and transfer the cleaned cubes into the Instant Pot inner pot.
Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Press Manual and cook for 4 minutes. When the timer ends, allow a 10-minute natural release, then switch the valve to venting to release any remaining steam.
Carefully remove the lid, lifting it away from your face. Use the sling or steamer basket to transfer the rutabaga to a bowl, or scoop it out if using the trivet. Use as desired; yields about 5 cups.
