For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of vinegar slightly. If you prefer a softer sauerkraut, increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. Adding caraway seeds or juniper berries to the pot before cooking will infuse the sauerkraut with additional flavor. Always use caution when releasing pressure from the Instant Pot.
