This post shows you how to cook Instant Pot lentils to perfection, using either red or green lentils. A great alternative to the stove that cooks through quickly.
The Instant Pot is such a useful appliance for cooking chickpeas, black beans and pinto beans from scratch, so it should come as no surprise that it works great to cook lentils as well!
These Instant pot lentils cook quickly, but for me the true benefit is the 'hands off' factor. The thing I love about the Instant Pot is how you can 'set it and forget it'- no need to stir or to watch for a pot to boil over!
