Wash the beets thoroughly and peel them if desired. If you are not peeling the beets before cooking, trim off any long stems or roots and remove the greens.
Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and insert a trivet or steamer basket. Place the beets on the trivet or in the basket.
Place the lid on top, lock it in place, and close the venting valve. Set the instant pot to manual, high-pressure. For small to medium beets (2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter), cook on High Pressure for 20-30 minutes. See notes.
Once the cooking time is complete, carefully switch the release valve to the open position.
If the skin still remains on the beets, carefully rub the skin off using your fingers or paper towels. It’s best to do this while the beets are still warm.

Cooking Time:

If your beets require additional cooking time, return them to the Instant Pot, cover with the lid, and pressure cook for 3-5 minutes more.

Storage: Peel and cool your cooked beets before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
