Instant Pot Hawaiian Boiled Peanuts Recipes

INSTANT POT BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Rinse the peanuts in cool water. Place them in the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker.
• Add the salt and vinegar. Add enough water to just cover the peanuts. For me, that was about 10 cups. Be cautious to not exceed the max fill line on your appliance.
• Place the lid on and seal. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes than turn the appliance off and allow the pressure to release naturally. Carefully remove the lid and enjoy!

Steps:

• Rinse the raw peanuts and pick out any debris. Place the raw peanuts in a large pot.
• Top with the sea salt, star anise, ginger, and black peppercorns. Cover with water.
• If cooking with the Instant Pot/pressure cooker, use the manual setting, and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Sort through the peanuts, removing any debris. Rinse peanuts well and place into the Instant Pot.
• Add salt to the insert pot.
• Add enough water to cover the peanuts and stir. Keep in mind that they will float, so you will need to place a weight on top of them to keep them submerged. I simply place the trivet that came with the Instant Pot on top of the peanuts, then place a small Pyrex bowl (if you don't have Pyrex, any heatproof bowl/mug should work) on top of the trivet to keep it weighted down. Be sure to not overfill the Instant Pot--refer to your particular model's guidelines on maximum fill.
• Lock the lid in place and close the vent. Using the manual setting, cook on high pressure for 80 minutes.
• When cooking is complete, turn the pressure cooker off of the Keep Warm setting and allow the pressure to completely release naturally.

Steps:

• Rinse and sort the peanuts, discarding any debris or severely cracked shells.
• In the insert pot of the Instant Pot, combine peanuts, salt, star anise, and ginger. Add enough water to cover.
• Place trivet on top of the peanuts and use a heatproof dish to weigh down the trivet. This will help the peanuts stay submerged in liquid.
• Close lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 80 minutes at high pressure. Once the cook time is complete, allow a natural pressure release.
• When the pressure has released and the valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid. Use tongs to remove the dish and trivet.
• Enjoy warm or allow to cool.
