While I am not an expert on Instant Pot cooking,  I am trying to make it as useful as possible in my kitchen. In addition to the tender juicy flavor that food cooked in the Instant Pot has, it is ready in much less time than any other method of cooking. Many do not recommend cooking pasta in the Instant Pot, as the gummy water can clog the vent.  I did notice that somewhat, but I cleared the vent immediately after pressure was released.  In my experience, the lentil pasta caused less of a problem with clogging than wheat pasta.
