3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Add carrots (roasted, cut) (Whole peeled carrots cut into 1-inch thick chunks, placed in steamer basket over 1 cup water) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select 240°F (116°C) for 3–4 mins.

2
Pressure Cook

Cook at 240°F (116°C) for 3–4 mins. Use quick release.

3
Check & Rest

Tender to the center when pierced with a paring knife, sweet concentrated carrot flavor. After quick release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 1 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

USDA ARS Root Vegetable Steaming Data; Instant Pot Root Vegetable Guidelines.

Pro Tip: Toss the hot steamed carrots with butter, honey, and salt right in a bowl; the residual heat melts the honey into a rich glaze.
