Notes
1. Remember that the Instant Pot takes 15-20 minutes to heat up before you can actually cook with it. Keep this in mind and start the heat up process while you are preparing your ingredients2. About garlic. I use packaged, pre-peeled garlic and it is less potent. If you use fresh from the bulb garlic, you may want to adjust and use less garlic).
