Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker
  • 1 Trivet or steam rack
  • 1 Greaseproof Paper or Camembert Baker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 camembert not all of them work great, Le Rustique certainly does though. Aldi’s does too.
  • 250 ml cold water

Instructions
 

  • Wrap a camembert cheese in parchment paper or place in a Camembert Baker. Place 250 ml water in the inner pot, put the trivet in place with the camembert parcel on top.
  • Using Greaseproof Paper? Pressure Cook, high pressure, 10 minutes, wait 10 minutes after it finishes cooking and do a QPR (there usually is no steam left to release).
    Using a Camembert Baker? Do 12 minutes with 12 minutes NPR if using a Camembert Baker as the heat will need to get through. If using a baker feel free to add flavours (see note below).
  • Unwrap. Wipe any extra moisture with kitchen paper and transfer to a plate.
  • Cut a cross on it for access and dip your favourite bread (how much am I wishing right now I’d had better bread at home!).

Notes

Want to use a Camembert Baker instead of greaseproof / parchment paper?
If you want to add some flavour before “baking” your camembert in your Instant Pot, use a Camembert Baker instead of the parchment paper.
Amazon has a good selection of camembert bakers here. I bought mine from TKMaxx.
Timing wise: you will need to add cooking time if you use a Camembert Baker due to the fact that they are thick and heat will take longer to get through than it does with the parchment paper, so I do 12 minutes on Manual/Pressure Cook and then wait 12 minutes to get it out.
What flavours could you add if using a Camembert Baker? I personally like cutting a cross and adding garlic, white wine and rosemary.
