I’ve been trying to get more veggies, for a multitude of reasons, but no matter how I cook broccoli, it stinks up the whole house. Steamed, baked, pan fried. If it were just me I’d probably deal with it, but my partner has a sensitive nose. Any ideas? I don’t love it raw, but it’s still pretty good.

    I’ve never noticed a bad smell, but instant pot for 1 minute high pressure is quickest way to cook.

      Oooo I like this. How much water? Okay for it to sit in the water, or does it have to be up?

        Generally put 1 cup of water into the instant pot to let it make some steam pressure. I usuall put the broccoli on the little wire platform but putting it the water should be fine. Older models let you set the timer to 0 minutes which is fine too. Unless the stems are pretty thick, by the time the pot comes up to full pressure it’s ok to stop. Also, use the steam release button to let the steam out as soon as it’s time, so the broccoli doesn’t overcook.
