Instant Pot makes a perfectly cooked asparagus in minutes! Once you try making steamed asparagus in the Instant Pot, you'll never make it any other way! Instant Pot is a true game changer!
Put asparagus and water in the Instant Pot (you can use the trivet for asparagus or put it directly in the water).
Close the lid and turn the valve to a Sealing position.
Press the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" button and set the time to ZERO on High pressure (the asparagus will cook the right amount while the Instant Pot is coming to pressure).
When the Instant Pot beeps that it's done cooking, quick release (QR) the steam.
Remove the asparagus from the Instant Pot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
