How to cook Polish kielbasa in instant pot?
Its very easy. For one pounds of polish kielbasa you will need to adjust the time to about 5 minutes. Ig you like to add more flavor, i recommend browning the sausage in the same pot for couple minutes and then pressure cook it.
Its delicious to add onions and garlic or garlic powder to your kielbasa in the SAUTEING step. It adds more flavor and your kitchen will smell absolutely amazing.
