Chef’s Tips
Older artichokes will feel lighter than fresh artichokes, so pick one that feels heavy for its size. Props if I catch you in the grocery store tossing artichokes up and down in both hands to see which is heavier! The size of your artichokes will affect your cook times, so keep that in mind!Choose an artichoke that has tightly packed, deep green leaves. A few brown spots are ok, but steer clear of any artichokes that have soft brown spots. Step 1 of the instructions mentions rubbing the artichokes with lemon slices before putting them in the Instant Pot. The lemon will keep the artichoke from oxidizing, a.k.a. turning brown.
