Tips for Making Instapot Cabbage with Bacon

What can you use instead of green cabbage? You can use red cabbage instead of green cabbage, if that is what you have on hand.

Make sure to cut the cabbage roughly — bigger pieces of cabbage will stand up better to being cooked in the Pressure cooker.

After bacon is cooked, make sure to put it on a plate lined with a paper towel, as the paper towels will absorb some of the grease, to make the bacon crunchy.
