How To Make Stuffed Peppers In An Instant Pressure Cooker:

Add in the chicken stock, a little at a time, scraping the bottom of the pot as you mix. Remove, set aside, and wash out the pot.

Cut the tops off of the peppers, and remove the seeds. Arrange peppers in a pan that will fit in the inner pot.

Pour water into the inner pot, and then add the trivet to the pot.

Scoop stuffing mixture into the peppers. It will have a lot of liquid in it. Add any extra mixture to additional peppers, to the pan the peppers are in, or to an extra pan.

Lower the pan with the peppers into the Instant Pot with a sling(I just used foil as a sling just be careful not to burn yourself).

Set the pressure valve to sealing, and then set for a manual high pressure time of 5 minutes.

At the end of the cooking time, allow for a quick pressure release.
