Instructions

Turn on your Instant Pot and select the Sauté function. Melt 1 cup of butter in the pot. Add the celery, onion, sage, thyme, and pepper; sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of broth, mix well, and then press Cancel.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed stuffing mix and water chestnuts. Pour the celery mixture from the Instant Pot over the stuffing and water chestnuts; stir to combine thoroughly. For a moister stuffing, stir in up to 1/2 cup more broth.
Grease a 1 1/2-quart, 7 1/2-inch round casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of butter. Spoon the stuffing mixture into the dish, being careful not to pack it in too tightly.
Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place a trivet inside the pot, then carefully place the casserole dish on top of the trivet.
Close and lock the Instant Pot lid securely. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions, and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.
Once the timer is complete, release the pressure naturally, following the manufacturer's instructions. This should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
