Whole Cauliflower in instant pot

Ingredients-
1 whole cauliflower leaves and stem removed
Olive oil
Salt

Some butter and cheese for topping

Method-
In the instant pot insert, keep 1.5 cups of water and place the cauliflower on the rack. Close the lid and keep on steam for 3 mins. QR once done. Check doneness with knife. It should be half done. I have done this on 2 occasions and still not mastered the doneness.



I used my cast iron wok to roast the cauliflower. Melt butter. Add salt and mix. Take out the trivet and keep the cauliflower in the wok. Pour the  salt and butter mix on the cauliflower. Also top with cheeses.
At this point depending on your doneness, you can broil the cauliflower- this is what I did. Or you can bake it. I broiled it for 10 mins. Serve cauliflower with salt and lemon wedges.
