Wash your pumpkin and pat dry.

Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot, then place the trivet inside.

Set the pie pumpkin onto the trivet.

Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to pressure. Set the timer for 15 minutes on high pressure.

When done cooking let the Instant Pot do a natural pressure release.

Once the pressure has fully dropped remove the lid. Check to see if the pumpkin is fully cooked by inserting a knife into the skin. If the pumpkin is done it will go through easily if the flesh is still hard place the lid back on and cook on for another 3 to 5 minutes.

When done carefully lift out the trivet and place the pumpkin on a cutting board. Let it cool until it's comfortable to handle.

Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds and strings.

Either peel the skin off the pumpkin flesh or scoop the pumpkin off the skin.

Serve with some butter and seasonings or puree in a food processor for homemade pumpkin puree.
