I wouldn’t call the results “mush” but it definitely wasn’t fairly clean lentils as pictured. ![]() The hard water/broth/elevation are likely to remain stable across iterations. We have somewhat hard water, and are at 1k feet over sea level (which is nothing). Liquid was mushroom broth (mushroom bouillon is basically salt, msg, and dried mushroom). Unsoaked brown lentils were mostly from an open-but-tightly-closed bag. Made it as-directed in our 6qt instant pot (duo evo plus). We have a burger recipe we’re trying to work out that calls for cooked lentils, so we can make lentils over and over and report back and try to work out why there’s this disparity in your comment section D: Would love to know why folks are getting such varied outcomes!Īlright, science mode activated. If it matters, I threw a chopped onion and a bunch of cumin and garlic in it before I closed the lid. I eat lentils frequently so I will try again with a shorter cooking time next time. It looks like you’re using a 6 qt instant pot, maybe the chamber size matters? My green peas cook faster for me, too. Perhaps mine are smaller and I’m misreading the perspective in the photos? These are as far as I know the typical grocery store staple green lentils that are brown in color and appear identical to the ones in the recipe. I like my lentils more firm than this, though. I was making a soup anyway, so this is fine. ![]() The lentils are quite soft, still whole, but I think most would fall apart if I tried to rinse them. I pressure cooked on high for 8 minutes and 5 minutes NR. ![]() I doubled the recipe, using a 1 lb (roughly 4 cups?) sealed package of what were labeled green lentils, roughly the same size as the ones pictured in the recipe, and 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water. I suspected 3:1 was way too much liquid already so I did 1.5:1 because I’ve never had issues using less water with other recipes. Mine came out too soft, and I don’t think my modifications were radical.
