What could be better than homemade cretons spread on toasts for breakfast! At lunchtime, serve them with crusty bread and a beet salad.
Homemade Sling Support
If you do not have a silicone sling for Instant Pot, prepare one with a strip aluminum foil. Overlap two 2-foot lengths of aluminum foil, fold in half lengthwise. Place the cooking mold in the center just before placing it in the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Fold the ends several times to form handles. Lift the mold with these handles to put it into the Instant Pot.
Servings: about 12
Note that the total cooking time takes into account the time it takes for the Instant Pot to begin cooking, cooking and the standing time before the steam is released.
In a 6 cup mold that you can insert in the inner pot of the pressure cooker, pour the milk, add the onion, salt, pepper, allspice and stir. Add the pork and mix with a wooden spoon.
Put a rack in the bowl of the Instant Pot and pour 1 ½ cups of water. Put the meat mold on a silicone or aluminum foil sling and place it on the rack in the Instant Pot. Secure lid, with the steam release button to "sealing".
Select "pressure or manual", set 12 minutes to "high" with "keep warm to off". Press on "start"button.
When the end of cooking alarm sounds, let the pressure completely release until the metal pin is lowered. Remove the lid and take out the mold from the Instant Pot being careful not to tip it while carrying to the kitchen counter. It is normal that a liquid surround the meat.
Blend the pâté a few seconds with an immersion hand blender just enough to bind the meat with the cooking juices. Add the breadcrumbs and mix with a wooden spoon.
Refrigerate in the mold or divide into small jars. The cretons will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator and 6 months in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator.

Why would you not sautéed the meat first? I also love my cretons with fresh cut up garlic which is not mentioned in the recipe, I imagine I can modify the recipe to my particular tastes.
