How to Make Instant Pot Hamburgers

- Divide the meat mixture into 8 portions. Shape each portion into a patty and press flat (about ½ inch thick.)
- Wrap each patty in aluminum foil.
- Pour the minimum required amount of water into the electric pressure cooker. Place the trivet into the bottom of the pressure cooker and loosely stack the foil packets on the trivet.
- Secure the lid on the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Program the electric pressure cooker using the manual or pressure cook setting for 10 minutes. When the cook cycle is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure.
- Carefully unwrap the hamburger patties and serve with buns and desired toppings.
