Instant Pot Baked Camembert
Delicious, soft, warm, melting Camembert without the risk of forgetting it in the oven and having it burn
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker
- 1 Trivet or steam rack
- 1 Greaseproof Paper or Camembert Baker
Ingredients
- 1 camembert not all of them work great, Le Rustique certainly does though. Aldi’s does too.
- 250 ml cold water
Instructions
- Wrap a camembert cheese in parchment paper or place in a Camembert Baker. Place 250 ml water in the inner pot, put the trivet in place with the camembert parcel on top.
- Using Greaseproof Paper? Pressure Cook, high pressure, 10 minutes, wait 10 minutes after it finishes cooking and do a QPR (there usually is no steam left to release). Using a Camembert Baker? Do 12 minutes with 12 minutes NPR if using a Camembert Baker as the heat will need to get through. If using a baker feel free to add flavours (see note below).
- Unwrap. Wipe any extra moisture with kitchen paper and transfer to a plate.
- Cut a cross on it for access and dip your favourite bread (how much am I wishing right now I’d had better bread at home!).

Notes
Want to use a Camembert Baker instead of greaseproof / parchment paper?
If you want to add some flavour before “baking” your camembert in your Instant Pot, use a Camembert Baker instead of the parchment paper.
Amazon has a good selection of camembert bakers here. I bought mine from TKMaxx.
Timing wise: you will need to add cooking time if you use a Camembert Baker due to the fact that they are thick and heat will take longer to get through than it does with the parchment paper, so I do 12 minutes on Manual/Pressure Cook and then wait 12 minutes to get it out.
What flavours could you add if using a Camembert Baker? I personally like cutting a cross and adding garlic, white wine and rosemary.
