• Open the lid and mix in the melted butter and sweetener. Serve.
• Add the rinsed millet, water, and salt to the cooking pot of the 6-quart Instant Pot. You will be cooking on high pressure so make sure the sealing ring is in place. Close the lid shut. Turn the nob to the sealing position. Turn on the Keep Warm function.
• Cook the millet on high pressure for 10 minutes.
• To release pressure, let the Instant Pot go into Keep Warm mode and wait for 10 minutes. Then, press Cancell and carefully position the steam release valve on the lid to the Venting position.
• Carefully open the lid. You will have a lot of condensation on the lid. Make sure that this water doesn't get into the millet. fluff the millet with a fork and serve.

HOW TO COOK MILLET (PERFECT EVERY TIME!)

Steps:

• To a small saucepan, add millet and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and millet is fluffy. Fluff with a fork, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy immediately in stir-fries, bowls, salads, cakes, or as a side to nearly any main. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop, adding oil or coconut aminos as needed to prevent sticking.

HOW TO COOK PERFECT MILLET EVERY TIME

Steps:

• Measure millet and cooking liquid: You'll need 1 cup of raw millet and 2 cups of cooking liquid (water or broth).
• Toast millet: In a large, dry saucepan, toast the raw millet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until it turns a rich golden brown and the grains become fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.
• Add the water and salt to the pan: Since the pan is hot, the water will sputter a bit when you pour it in. After adding water and salt, give the millet a good stir.
• Bring the liquid to a boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Lower the heat and simmer: Decrease the heat to low, drop in the butter and cover the pot. Simmer until the grains absorb most of the water (they'll continue soaking it up as they sit), about 15 minutes. Avoid the temptation to peek a great deal or stir too much (unless its sticking to the bottom). Stirring too vigorously will break up the grains and change the texture.
• Remove from heat and let stand: Like most grains, millet needs a little time off the heat to fully absorb the liquid. Allow it to sit, covered and removed from heat, for 10 minutes.
• Fluff and serve! After millet sits, fluff it with a fork. Taste and add additional salt if you'd like. Millet does not keep well and is best served warm (see Additional Notes below).
