Instant Pot Bone Broth is a rich and flavorful broth made from leftover bones. Cooked for several hours, the bones will soften and release collagen, protein, marrow, and more!
Put all of the ingredients into the inner liner of your Instant Pot.
**Add just enough water to cover the bones.
Close the lid, set steam release knob to the Sealing position.
Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) button or dial, then the +/- button or dial until you get to 180 minutes (or 3 hours). If your IP only goes up to 120, just use that amount of time.
After the cook cycle ends, let the IP naturally release pressure for at least 1 hour. You can let it NPR longer if you want, or very carefully do a manual pressure release after the hour.
Allow to cool, or if you can't wait, very carefully remove bones from the pot using a slotted spoon or a stainless steel spider.
Strain the remaining contents of the pot and put the bone broth into mason jars or other sealable containers. You might notice sediment on the bottom, and that's perfectly fine. If you want a clearer broth, strain again using a finer mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or coffee filters.
*You will want to fill pot at least halfway with bones.
**Watch that you don't go over the manufacturer's recommendation for amount of liquid. I go below the max fill line. Please use caution!
***Not absolutely necessary, some say it helps break down the bones.
For this recipe I used the Instant Pot 8 quart pot, however, you can also use the Instant Pot 6 quart to make bone broth.
Calories are approximate, as it will depend on type and amount of bones and other ingredients.
