Recipe View Cook Under Pressure: Secure the lid of the pressure cooker, ensuring it's properly locked.

Recipe View Glaze the Sweet Potatoes: Carefully remove the steamer basket from the cooker and transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish, arranging them attractively. Return the reserved cooking liquid to the pressure cooker. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced and thickened into a syrupy glaze that coats the back of a spoon. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes. (Simmer time: 5-7 minutes)
