  1. HI there:
    I don’t understand these directions:

    “Grease oven proof pan and add half of the salsa verde sauce on the bottom.
    Divide tortillas among pans.
    Pour the remaining salsa verde on top of the enchiladas and top with colby jack cheese #2.
    Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place trivet inside. Form a foil sling to lower the bowl onto trivet.”

    What are we meant to do with this pan once you’ve added the salsa and tortillas? You later refer to lowering a bowl onto the trivet, but there is no bowl mentioned in the previous part of the recipe.

    1. Hi Chris — I’m so sorry the instructions were confusing. Our Menu Builder team reviewed and updated the instructions. The oven proof pan and bowl were referring to the same thing. You can use any oven save pan that will fit in your Instant Pot (i.e. pyrex, silicone). This recipe is a pot-in-pot recipe. That meaning, you would put everything in an oven safe pan. Then, you would put that pan in your Instant Pot bowl to cook (placed on the trivet that came with your Instant Pot). This recipe calls for 4 servings, so you would make this in one pan. If you increase the servings to 8, you would use two oven pans (what the instructions mean by indicated number of pans). Right now we don’t have the pan added to the supplies as it can vary what you choose to use.

      I hope this helps. ~OAMM

  2. Hello … I’m new to Instant Pot cooking (but not pressure cooking) and I tried this for my 2nd meal. After I added the sweet potato cubes and other ingredients and started to cook on the pressure cooker mode for the 5 minutes I got the “Burn” message. I stopped the cycle, cleaned the pot where it had started to burn and then added a little water. Has this happened with this to you with this recipe? The flavors were amazing.

    1. We haven’t had that happen with this recipe or had reports of that but we will note your experience. In our experience a recipe can work 9/10 times and then all of a sudden get the “burn” for someone else. We do track all experiences and will keep an eye on this one.

  4. I have a double stack pan that fits inside my IP bowl. If I double this recipe and have enchiladas in both pans, should I use the lid on the top pan? Are lids usually used in PIP cooking? My stackers came with a lid on the top and of course, if you use both pans the bottom pan is lidded by the top one.

  5. Are the black beans drained or not drained? I drained mine and didn’t have enough liquid to come to pressure.
