Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Boiled Peanuts in Instant Pot.
Step 1
In your Instant Pot, combine 8 cups of water, 1 pound of raw Virginia peanuts in their shells, 1/3 cup of salt, 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of liquid crab boil seasoning. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Step 2
Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Set it to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions and adjust the timer to 180 minutes. Allow approximately 25 minutes for the pressure to build up.
Step 3
Once the cooking time is complete, use the natural release method to release the pressure, which will take about 25 minutes. After this, unplug the cooker but keep the lid on to let the peanuts sit for an additional 2 hours. This resting time enhances the flavor of the peanuts.
