Additional recipe notes
Broccoli: You can also cook an entire head of broccoli or frozen broccoli the same way in the Instant Pot. Quick Release: It is important to quick release the pressure and take the broccoli out of the instant pot, so it does not overcook. Double the quantity: Even if you double or triple the quantity of broccoli, the cooking time will remain the same.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
