Does not say how much water? Â Do you just put in the water or in either the think that came with my InstaPot or in a basket?
Hi Roxanne! It is 1 cup of water. Pour the water and hot dogs into the silver metal pot that goes inside your Instant Pot. Hope this helps!
I’ll never make hot dogs any other way. Super easy!
