Notes

Notes: The InstantPot is a time saver and keeps the flavor of the collards in tact which you may loose in a standard pot with lid.
Be aware that you will have to give the  InstantPot a good cleaning after and maybe change the rubber seal as the smell of the collards lingers in the pot.  
We have included the link to the rubber seal replacement under equipment.
