Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and fit it with the included rack. Rinse quinoa well. Combine rinsed quinoa with oats, 1/2 c. water and salt in a small stainless steel pot that fits inside the Instant Pot, and place the small pot in the Instant Pot on the rack. Close and cook on Manual for 2 minutes. When the Instant Pot beeps, let the pressure go down for 10 minutes, and then release the rest of the steam. Remove the small pot of cooked grains.
