Notes
It is cheaper for us, here in Portugal to buy leeks that have been already prepped. If this is the case for you, then do the same as it will also save you time.
If you’re cooking a lot of leeks. Then you can place them at the bottom of the Instant Pot in the water and bypass the steamer shelf and steamer basket. We do this when we are making a huge soup or casserole.
