Instant Pot Cajun Boiled Peanuts
I love boiled peanuts, but in the past, they've been a hassle to make. You have to soak them in water overnight, and then you have to wait for the giant pot of water to boil; the water evaporates, so you have to add more water every hour, and then every time you do that, you have to wait for the water to start boiling again. I knew there had to be a way to simplify the process, and this Instant Pot Cajun boiled peanuts recipe was the solution. While it still takes time, the method is hands-off, and they cook more quickly than the 8 hours it takes to soak them overnight using the stovetop method.
