DR
DELUXE RECIPE (Uses Deluxe Reversible Rack)
DIRECTIONS
1 Pour water into pot. Place the Deluxe Reversible
Rack (in lower steam position, without Deluxe
Layer installed) in the pot. Place one squash half,
cut-side up, on the rack. Then install the Deluxe
Layer on the rack and place the other squash half
on it, cut-side up.
2 Assemble pressure lid, making sure the pressure
release valve is in the SEAL position. Select
PRESSURE and set to HIGH. Set time to
10 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
3 When pressure cooking is complete, quick release
the pressure by moving the pressure release valve
to the VENT position. Carefully remove lid when
unit has finished releasing pressure.
4 Drizzle oil and vinegar over squash halves, then
sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme or sage.
5 Close crisping lid. Select ROAST, set temperature
to 400°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Select
START/STOP to begin.
6 When cooking is complete, remove rack with
squash from pot. Cut squash in 1-inch slices, then
drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar and
sprinkle with pistachios. Season with salt and
pepper to taste; serve warm.
INGREDIENTS
1
/2 cup water
1 medium butternut or acorn squash
(1 /–2 pounds), cut
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar,
plus more for serving
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1
/2 teaspoon ground black pepper,
plus more for seasoning
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or sage leaves
(or 1 teaspoon dried), chopped
2 tablespoons roasted, salted pistachios, chopped
TIP Look for squash that is short enough to fit in the
pot. You can substitute dierent types of squash
for the butternut or acorn, but they will require
dierent pressure cooking times. Smaller squash
like honeynut and delicata take only about
3 minutes. For all squash, cut in half and scrape
out seeds before cooking.
