Maybe a silly question, but I assume the bacon needs to be pre cooked prior to putting in the Instant pot? Is that right?
High pressure?
Yes.
Do you really want the cream whippe?
What is the reason for the cream? Seems like unneeded calories & fat to me.
Cream adds a melty and creamy touch in these bacon wrapped asparagus.
