Instant Pot caramelized onions

I got a bunch of Elisa Craig onions in my CSA share so I decided to make caramelized onions. I used the method from serious eats to do this. I did a half recipe. It was easy to do and mostly hands off.


Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 ounces; about 90g)
3 pounds yellow or mixed onions, sliced 1/8 inch thick (1.4kg; about 4 to 5 large onions)
1/2 teaspoon (2g) baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


Method
1. Melt butter in an electric or stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat. Add onions and baking soda and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions slightly soften and start to release liquid, about 3 minutes. Seal pressure cooker and heat to high pressure (12.5 to 15 psi). Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes. Release pressure by allowing steam to vent, then remove lid.
2. Continue cooking with lid off, stirring constantly, until liquid inside has completely reduced and the onions are deep brown and sticky, about 5 minutes. Caramelized onions can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or frozen for several months.
