Press “Cancel” on your Instant Pot.Secure the lid and select “Pressure Cook” at High Pressure and Natural steam release. Set the cooking time to 8 minutes.Once the timer has finished, allow the steam to release naturally for at least 10 minutes before removing the lid.At this point, prepare your cauliflower rice by adding coconut or avocado oil and cauliflower rice to a skillet set to medium-low heat and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
