The BEST Instant Pot Bone Broth

Step 1

Place the bones in the Instant Pot, filling it about half full with bones. Add in the vegetables, herbs, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns and salt.

Step 2

Fill the Instant Pot with water to 1-inch below the MAX fill line.

Step 3

Make sure your sealing ring is in place on the lid. Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the "sealing" position.

Step 4

Press the "manual" button and set your Instant Pot for high pressure for 120 minutes. (I find it easier to decrease the time because the timer resets at 120 after you decrease to zero.) It will take about 15-30 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.

Step 5

Once the two hours is up, allow the pressure to release naturally. It will take about 15-30 minutes, then the float valve will drop.

Step 6

Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a strainer and cool. A good broth will usually have a layer of fat on the top, and will gelatinize when thoroughly cool. Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.
