Notes
I used the stop watch to see how long it took to come to pressure before the cooking time started. It was 11 minutes and 20 seconds.
Many other friends of ours have reported between 9-11 minutes. Therefore expect 10 minutes warm up time, 15 minutes pressure cooking and a total time of 25 minutes.
Though this is still a lot quicker than an hour and over in the oven. I have based my Instant Pot Butternut Squash recipe on feeding 2 people.
This is where you chop a whole butternut squash in half and you have a side each. If you are feeding 4 then change this to 2 whole butternut squashes.
