    Instead of using anything on the bottom got use foil to hold the tamales off the bottom of the pot. And it only needs one cup of water. Let it self release, open and let tamales rest for 10 mins with an open lid. Thank you for a wonderful video. I always enjoy mom and daughter episodes

    You don't need the trivet if you're using the steamer basket. And I bet 1 cup of water is all you need. The water is not going to escape so you don't need that much water. I might even try 20 minutes of cooking time to see if that's all you need.

    I have never owned an instant pot. I love Nesco and actually do a lot of canning with my bunch of pots all going at the same time. For fresh homemade tamales I use 20 minutes, low pressure, instant release and let them sit and cool with the lid off a minute or two. I own 5 different brands of electric pressure cookers. I have a couple huge GoWise 14.5 quart pressure cookers (I use for water bathing fruits and veggies -under pressure because it's a better process… and I don't have to babysit the equipment throughout the processing times). The huge Go Wise is great for large parties where you need plenty of hot food fast. I haven't used it for tamales just yet but the processing time is just about the same as the smaller pressure cookers. 40 minutes on some cookers is going to be just too long. I'd suggest that people who do not have an Instant Pot to literally experiment with shorter processing times. I think she used steam though which would increase the times. I use pressure method. I even use pressure for hard boiling eggs… as long as they aren't clanking into one another on the steam rack – 3 minutes is great (quick release) perfect eggs every time. Some variations for tamales call for chopped hard boiled egg in them.
