My insta pot doesn’t have a “pressure cook” button. I assume it’s the “manual” button instead.

In reply to Ann. What are you doing to do with it after? If you are just doing to do a puree or something I like to err on the side of longer. I'd probably do 20 minutes.

My pumpkin is close to 4 pounds. How long should I cook it?

In reply to Lauren. Yay! So glad I can be a resource, that's the goal! And isn't it magical isn't it, that instant pot sure does simplify some cooking!

I remembered you’d posted this recipe a while ago when I decided to use some fresh pumpkin in my Thanksgiving pies. I knew right where to go without spending time searching for it.
It worked perfectly, with the skins sliding right off afterwards!

Thanks Melissa!,?

In reply to Melissa. The skin slid off slicker than ever! Then I gently ran my spoon over the skin to get ever last drop. I was impressed!

In reply to deb c. Yay! And did your skin peel off really easy too? I feel like I don't waste a thing.

Scraping pumpkin guts has always been my least favorite part of processing them…..but now…..oh how easy! I did 3 sugar pies, back to back, from beginning to end in less time than in the crock pot. (Which I used to think was the best method ever! Now its #2 as I don’t like oven cooked pumpkin) As a pumpkin was steaming, I was off doing other things. When it came time to scrape out the innards, it was as simple as using a spoon to lift and plop into the compost pail. Oodles and oodles of thanks!!!!!

Well I’ll be….guts and all…how much simplier can it be? I’ll have to try it when I finally score some sugar pumpkins….I love the quick factor! I use pumpkin mash all the time since you taught me to put it in the chili….now it happily jumps into the spaghetti sauce and he still doesn’t know….well…he does know something is different…it tastes better! Hahahahaha Thanks for the great new method!
