20 minutes flat means from the moment you cut your spaghetti squash in half until the moment your squash is done cooking. The instant pot often takes 10 minute to reach pressure and begin the programmed cooking time. Not all recipes factor in the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, and/or release pressure. This is a quick release recipe, meaning you will be able to open your instant pot about a minute after your cooking program has finished. Assume 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to warm up to pressure, another 5 to 7 minutes for cooking based on desired preference, and another minute for the quick pressure release. Now you can cook a spaghetti squash last minute for dinner, without even having to turn on your oven!
This turned out perfect! I set the pressure cooker timer for 6 minutes. This was my 1st time using the Instant Pot. Thank you for sharing the recipe! I’m going to add this to pulled buffalo chicken on top.

Hey, you don’t have to take out the seeds! They can be removed after the steaming, and then just squirt the seeds out of the seed casing.
Best way I’ve found to cook spaghetti squash!
