Special Precautions and Tips:
- For a richer broth, use unsalted butter or olive oil to sauté the vegetables before adding the water.
- Don't overfill the Instant Pot, as this can prevent the pressure from building properly.
- If you don't have a fine-mesh sieve, you can line a regular sieve with cheesecloth or a paper towel to strain the broth.
