Instant Pot is the perfect method for cooking buckwheat (also known as "kasha" or "Russian grechka"). Instant Pot buckwheat is very easy to make and turns out perfect!
Add water, buckwheat and salt to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and turn the valve to a Sealing position. Press the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" button and set the time to 5 minutes on High pressure.
When it's done cooking, let the pressure release naturally (NR) for 20 minutes, then quick release (QR) the remaining steam.
