Why make vegan cheesy sauce recipe in the Instant Pot?
The Instant Pot is a pressure cooker which makes meal prep very quick and easy. To make this type of recipe on the stove, it takes me usually about 30 minutes. However, in the Instant Pot, this same recipe can be prepared in just about 10 minutes preheating and 7 minutes of cooking. I also was able to blend the sauce right in the pot with my immersion hand blender.
You can enjoy vegan cheesy sauce a variety of ways, for example:
