Notes

Liquid. If I am just steaming cauliflower in instant pot I don’t bother with any instant pot veggie stock and just use water.
Size. For pressure cooker cauliflower size does matter. Medium florets will take 4 minutes to be fork tender, however if you do small florets go with 3 minutes otherwise they will end up mushy.
