Instant Pot Southern Cabbage

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Southern Cabbage.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious cabbage dish, grab your 8-quart pressure cooker and set it over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Toss in the bacon and stir it around until it’s tender, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Step 3

   If you like your bacon a bit crispy, feel free to let it cook a little longer, but tender is the goal here.

4. Step 4

   Once the bacon is just right, add in some butter and stir until it melts into a lovely, rich mixture.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the show: the chopped cabbage.

6. Step 6

   Add it to the pot, and then pour in the chicken broth, creating a flavorful base.

7. Step 7

   Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and give everything a good toss to ensure the cabbage is well coated in that savory goodness.

8. Step 8

   Next, secure the lid on your pressure cooker and place the regulator on top.

9. Step 9

   Turn the heat up to high and wait for the regulator to start rocking or for the cooker to reach full pressure.

10. Step 10

    Once you see that gentle rocking motion, reduce the heat just enough to maintain it at about 15 pounds per square inch.

11. Step 11

    Let it cook for a quick 3 minutes—just enough time to let those flavors meld beautifully.

12. Step 12

    After the timer goes off, carefully remove the cooker from the heat.

13. Step 13

    It’s time for the exciting part: releasing the pressure! Follow your manufacturer’s instructions for the quick-release method.

14. Step 14

    Once the pressure is fully released, unlock and remove the lid, revealing your perfectly cooked cabbage.

15. Step 15

    Transfer it to a serving plate, and there you have it—an inviting, warm dish ready to be enjoyed.

16. Step 16

    Serve it hot and watch as everyone gathers around to savor the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
