Making Instant Pot lentils is one of the easier things you can make in your pressure cooker! Now that we\u2019ve become Instant Pot experts, let me be the first to admit: I\u2019m all about the Quick Release<\/em><\/strong>. Why? Because I\u2019m impatient. If you\u2019ve used your Instant Pot a lot, you\u2019ll know that many recipes call for a natural release: which is perfectly well and good, except it does tack on extra time to the recipe.<\/p>\n

The only other time you have to factor in is the \u201cpreheat\u201d time, which takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your Instant Pot. Overall, this Instant Pot lentils recipe has about 5 minutes of hands on time, and 15 to 20 minutes start to finish.<\/p>\n
