Instructions for 1 Cup of Quinoa.

Make sure you use pre-rinsed quinoa or rinse the quinoa under cool water in advance. Unrinsed quinoa has something on the outside called saponin, which causes a bitter, almost soapy flavor. 

• With the instant pot, you want 1 cup of grain for every 1 1/4 cups of liquid. 
• Pour grain into instant pot first. 
• Pour 1 1/4 cup of low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable stock (for extra flavor). The key to speeding up the process is to have warm stock so the instant pot comes to pressure much faster.
• Add seasoning as desired and stir to mix. 
• Secure lid on instant pot. 
• Use multi-grain function and set timer to 1 minute. Turn off keep warm function and hit start.
