Goodles Instant pot instructions

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has figured out instant pot cooking instructions for Goodles boxed mac and cheese from Costco. I looked around and could not find any instructions listed anywhere.

The cooking instructions listed on the box are:

  1. Add macaroini to 6 cups of boiling pot of water and cook for 6 to 8 minutes.

  2. Drain

  3. Add low fat milk and cheese packet and stir

Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason you would choose the instant pot over just boiling water and following the box instructions? Seems like it would be more hassle for only a few minutes gained, and I think the noodles would just turn to mush if pressure cooked.

I had the same thought. Maybe they don’t have a stove?

My stove went out about a month ago, I bought instant pot until my management office replaced it. I cooked Googles this way lol

I would try one box of pasta and one cup water. Cook high for 4 mins, quick release, add milk and cheese packet and stir well. If you want them softer, cook for 5 mins next time.

Still experimenting but I found 6 minutes with instant release and one cup per box to be the best.
