Notes
Recipe was made in 6-quart Instant Pot pressure cooker. For an 8 quart or larger, add amount of water recommended for that size -- cooking time remains the same.
Hamburger patties should reach internal temperature of 160 degrees, according to meat thermometer, when cooked.
If you have the IP Duo Crisp, you can broil the tops after pressure cooking and removing burgers from foil.
