  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 oz good quality pecorino cheese

Instructions
  • Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  • Add polenta, warmed water, salt and pepper in the Instant Pot and whisk to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer, then whisk again.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
