Steamed Whole Cauliflower
Steaming a whole head of cauliflower is easy (no need to cut it into florets) and pressure-cooking makes the process hands-off and fuss-free. Make sure to trim the base of the head so it sits flat, and remove any large, thick-stemmed green leaves; the small inner leaves become tender with cooking. This recipe is for basic salt-and-pepper seasoned cauliflower, but we've included a few simple high-impact flavor options, too. To make this, you will need the steam rack with handles that was included with the Instant Pot.

Tip
Don't use a large head of cauliflower. Up to 2½ pounds is fine, but a larger head will not cook evenly in the time indicated; the very core will be underdone.
