Now let's talk about the most loved extract of all time – Vanilla Extract.  Dark, beautiful, aromatic, heavenly vanilla extract that can be made in less than an hour in the pressure cooker vs the traditional method of vanilla beans soaking in vodka for 2-6 months in the back of your pantry.

I’m 100% impatient, so Vanilla Extract that can be made in under an hour, just speaks to my soul!

Here's a quick video to show you just how quick and easy you can whip up amazing vanilla extract plus a little comparison to the “be patient and wait” Traditional Method.  I think the color difference alone will convince you but even the smell of my pressure cooker vanilla was much stronger than the 6-month-old traditional jar.  Check it out and then share it with all your suspicious friends!

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT VANILLA EXTRACT

Why make Instant Pot Vanilla Extract in Mason jars vs directly in the pressure cooker pot?

  1. Make a little or make a lot!  You have the choice between making 1 pint of extract or up to 3 pints in a 6-quart pressure cooker.
  2. Making vanilla in a jar with a “fingertip tight” lid helps prevent the alcohol from evaporating from your extract which means your alcohol percentage will remain nice and high.  This is important for 2 reasons:
    • a higher percentage of alcohol means the vanilla flavor will continue to extract even more flavor over time
    • higher alcohol percentage creates a more antimicrobial environment for safer long-term storage
  3. Having a lid on the jar prevents condensation from dripping into your extract while cooking which would dilute your alcohol (lower percentage of alcohol = less extraction overtime, dilution in taste, and shorter lifespan)
  4. I love that after my extract is done cooking and has cooled, I can leave the beans in the jar, tighten the lid and pop it into the cupboard. Easy Peasy!
  5. The mason jar lid keeps your alcohol from extracting other food smells from your pressure cooker, because vanilla extract + last night's roast = yuck and ewww gross.
    *To prevent the incredible disappointment of a jar breaking under pressure, always use canning quality jars like Mason or Kerr and even consider using a new jar, not one that has been used for canning many times over the years.

What supplies do I need to make Instant Pot Vanilla Extract?

Not much!  Mason jars, kitchen shears, vanilla beans, vodka, and optionally these amazing Mason jar pourable lids.

Can I use cheap vodka to make vanilla extract?

Yes, but I don’t use the cheapest and here’s why.  Pricier vodka means cleaner taste which results in faster, more amazing vanilla extract.  However, if you want to make it with the cheapest vodka, just plan on letting it hang out longer in your cupboard for a richer, vanilla taste.  I’m partial to red label Smirnoff.  Rich Lum, AKA Famous Instant Pot Master Chef (have you heard of him) oftentimes uses Tito’s brand vodka which is pricier but has a very clean taste so the vanilla can shine through.  I’ve also heard many praise Costco’s Kirkland Signature Vodka, which I’ve never tried, but has excellent reviews.

Where do you find decently priced vanilla beans?

I hope one day I can update this post with a better answer, but for the moment, there is a serious shortage in vanilla beans so the prices have gone way up.  I’ve ordered from several companies and my favorite beans BY FAR are from Beanilla.  To get a good price on them, my sisters and I bought a pound of them together.  They ended up being about $2 a piece and they are the biggest, most wonderful smelling beans I've ever had.  I only use 5 of these beans per jar and it is the best extract to ever come out of my kitchen.  I buy the Madagascar Grade B Vanilla Beans.  Use the code TIDBITS to get 7% off your order at Beanilla.

What’s the best type of bean to use?

Across the board, the most commonly recommended beans for extract are Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Grade B.  Grade A beans will work, but they are typically more expensive and some believe they don’t extract as well.  Mexican and Tahitian beans are also quite popular.

How do I store my Vanilla Extract?

Store extract in a cool, dark place.  I keep mine in the cold storage room in my basement, but the back of a cupboard or pantry, as long as it’s away from the oven and lights, will work great.

What is the shelf life of Instant Pot Vanilla Extract?

When done in a jar with a loose-fitting lid, your alcohol percentage should stay high. This means when properly stored (as discussed in the above question), the life of your vanilla is infinite.

Do I have to use alcohol to make Instant Pot Vanilla Extract?

Nope! Here is a food grade glycerin version!

Can I use different types of alcohol to make vanilla extract?

Absolutely.  I have experimented with bourbon and rum and I thought they smelled amazing!  Keep in mind the taste of bourbon and rum will come through more than vodka, of which I wasn’t exactly a fan.  However, for some people and certain recipes, that is exactly what they want.

How many beans should I use?

I have tried everything from 3 to 10 beans per cup of vodka and finally settled on about 3 beans per 1 cup of vodka (or 5-6 beans per pint).

How soon will my Instant Pot Vanilla Extract be ready to use?

You could use it that same day.  However, after a week or 2, the alcohol smell will mellow significantly and the vanilla taste and aroma will be more intense.

How did you settle on 30 minutes for the cook time?

I experimented with times from 15 minutes to 90 minutes.  My experience was that I didn’t have much difference in taste for anything after 30 minutes, but the breakdown of the vanilla bean was more pronounced at 60 minutes leaving the extract quite hazy.  So 30 minutes it is!

Is it okay to cook with alcohol in an Instant Pot AKA Electric Pressure Cooker?

I questioned several engineers, the health department, and the Extension Services before I felt comfortable doing just that.  After I posted the recipe, I was met with a lot of questions about it.  Long story short, I would never ever ever do this with a stovetop pressure cooker or anywhere near an open flame.  Always, always allow for a full natural release so you're not releasing alcohol vapor into the air and make it in a Mason jar with a lid to decrease the amount of alcohol vapor that could be released.  You can find more details on my research on this post: Vanilla Extract Research.

Why does my vanilla extract smell really strong of alcohol?

First off, any pure Vanilla Extract will have a bit of alcohol smell and taste.  For this pressure cooker method, your extract may still smell strongly of vodka right after you make it (especially if you use a cheaper vodka).  I suggest letting it sit for 1-2 weeks and then give it another whiff.  The alcohol smell should have mellowed and the vanilla smell should be lovely and rich.  If not, throw it back in the pressure cooker for another 30 minutes.

What do I do with used Vanilla Beans?

See this post, How to Get the Most out of Your Vanilla Beans, for several ways to get the most out of your beans.

Why do I want to make my own vanilla extract?

Because you can!  And you can make it in the world's greatest appliance – the Electric Pressure Cooker/AKA Instant Pot.  Plus homemade vanilla extract is just plain incredible.  For me, it’s a truer, more rich vanilla flavor, and depending on where you buy your supplies, it can be more cost-effective.  It also makes the best gift ever!  A homemade bottle of vanilla extract with a custom label and a pretty bottle is the ultimate gift for any occasion.

Best Bottles for Gifting Vanilla Extract:

For long term storage, it is best to store vanilla extract in an Amber Colored Glass Bottle.  These bottles often come with a small funnel to make it very easy to fill with your prepared extract.  Another option for gifting is this Clear Glass Bottle with Shrink Capsule Lid.  These look very pretty and professional so they are perfect for gifting!

How to Pour Extract into Small Bottles for Gifting?

I like to use a small funnel to pour the extract from mason jars into the small bottles.  Be sure to add one of the vanilla beans from the main jar into each small bottle so it will continue to infuse and become stronger over time.

I hope that covers it!  If I’ve missed anything, please leave your question in the comments and I will add it to the post.  Beanilla is a great source for questions and has absolutely amazing customer service.

Suggested Recipes to use your Vanilla Extract

Now go put that incredible homemade vanilla extract to good use in a Triple Chocolate Cheesecake (No words, just heart eyes) or my favorite beverage of all time- Crio Bru, Hot or Cold.

Here are some other favorites:

  • Instant Pot Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • Instant Pot Peaches and Cream Coconut Tres Leches Cake 
  • Pressure Cooker Peppermint Vanilla Crio Bru

Be sure and check out the other extracts: Cinnamon, Lemon, Peppermint, Maple, and Almond.

Instant Pot Vanilla Extract

Instant Pot Vanilla Extract!  Rich, dark, aromatic extract in minutes instead of months!

  • Author: Marci
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 1 pint 1x
  • Category: Miscellaneous
  • Method: Instant Pot
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 Grade B Madagascar vanilla beans
  • About 2 cups Smirnoff Vodka 80 proof (40% alcohol) or Food Grade Vegetable Glycerin

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp pointed knife or kitchen shears, cut each bean in half and then split in half lengthwise leaving about an inch still connected.  If beans are too dry to split, cut them into 1 inch pieces.
  2. Place the vanilla beans in a pint-size Mason jar and add vodka or glycerin, leaving 1 inch of headspace.  Top with a canning lid and ring and barely tighten.
  3. Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and place trivet inside.  Put the Mason jar on the trivet.  Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes.
  4. When cooking is complete, unplug the pressure cooker and use a natural release.
  5. Carefully remove the Mason jar, swirl it lightly to release more vanilla seeds from the pod, and place on a cooling rack overnight.
  6. Once cooled, top with a pourable lid and use in all your favorite recipes that call for vanilla extract.   

Notes

  • Caution: Never make Extract in a stovetop pressure cooker or near an open flame.  My recipes are written for electric pressure cookers only.  Always use a Natural Release, never a quick release.  Avoid any type of open flame for the entire duration of cooking, including when the lid is removed after the natural release.
  • Alcohol smell may be strong at first but will diminish over a week or two.  If still overpowering at that point, return to the pressure cooker for another 30 minutes.
  • When vanilla extract is gone, let the beans air dry, then add to sugar for vanilla infused sugar. 
  • The pressure cooker will fit up to three jars at a time, so feel free to double or triple the recipe.

    I love homemade vanilla, but this is my first try making it in the IP… with my typical shelf vanilla, I will refill the jars with vodka again and again and just rotate through the bottles, letting the beans steep as long as possible and this has worked for a long time for me! My question for you is, do you think this IP method could be repeated with the beans I cook today when this jar is gone?

      February 10, 2021

      Jen, I do the same rotation with this method. When my jars are half empty, I add more vodka and move them to the back of the line. I’ve also used the used beans to make a new batch of pressure cooked extract, but I usually add 2 fresh beans. Does that make sense?

    Made my first jar yesterday- so easy! I opened the lid and gently swirled the liquid once it was done and much of the alcohol vapor evaporated that way, leaving a much stronger vanilla scent with less of an alcohol burn. I lost a little volume but I’m left with a more pure vanilla scent. I can’t wait to bake with this!

    I made the instant pot vanilla extract and although I don’t have an “Instant Pot”, I have a Power Cooker XL, I was able to follow your recipe. My vanilla extract came out cloudy. It’s been a few weeks and the extract smells great but it’s just not as appealing to look at. Will that be an issue and do you know why it happened?

    Reply
    • Marci says

      January 16, 2021

      Rebecca, that’s great! Don’t worry about the cloudiness. I think it can depend on the brand of beans, but the taste will still be good and it will become more clear as it sits. Don’t stress it!

    Wondering if the reusable metal lids (vs. traditional canning lids) are ok to use with the mason jars in the instant pot?

    Thanks!

        Thanks, Marci. Sorry about the duplicate posts–computer/user errors! I think I’m going to try making a single jar with vanilla vodka first. If it tastes good, I’ll make the rest of the batch with VV. Would hate to blow the lot on nasty-tasting extract! Will let you know how the experiment turns out!

    December 20, 2020

    This is my 3rd time trying the recipe over the course of a couple weeks since I saw the recipe. All of my extracts are still overwhealmingly strong smelling of vodka/alcohol when you open it. I returned the 1st set to the instant pot past week, still smelled of alcohol and its been sitting for a week and still VERY strong. What do I do here?

    Reply
    • Marci says

      December 21, 2020

      Lori, it’s okay that you can smell the alcohol. Even storebought real vanilla has an alcohol smell. But you should be able to smell the vanilla as well. When you cook with it, the alcohol will burn off. Where did you buy your beans?

      Reply
      • Lori says

        December 21, 2020

        It doesn’t smell much like Vanilla. I purchased from Beanilla

      • Marci says

        December 22, 2020

        Lori, well now I’m even more boggled. I adore Beanilla beans. I do think at this point if they can sit with the beans in it, it will get stronger and smell amazing over time. If you’re gifting them, just put a bean in each bottle and that will also work.

  8. Amy says

    December 19, 2020

    I got my beans last year from Beanilla and am just getting around to making extract. The package gives 12 months as shelf life, but my beans are very dry. I’m trying it anyway. Will I need to strain when I bottle it? It was almost like sticks and bits of bark with some beans. Hope it’s not a total fail.

    Reply
    • Marci says

      December 19, 2020

      Amy, I asked Beanilla about that because I had some that were nearly 2 years old and they told they would be fine to use. My extract had some bits like that. I haven’t strained it yet, but I’m guessing once I get closer to the bottom of the jar, they might start spilling out. It should still be amazing extract though!

      Reply
      • Amy says

        December 19, 2020

        Thanks for your response. I’m transferring to small jars for gifting, so will probably need to strain. You think that’s fine? Also I did some with vodka and some with glycerin and the glycerin is very light in color. Should I put it back in the pressure cooker or is this normal for the glycerin? Thanks again!

      • Marci says

        December 20, 2020

        Amy, the glycerin tends to take longer to darken up, but if you’re wanting to package it soon, I’d go ahead and pressure cook it another 30 minutes to hurry it along. As far as straining goes, the extract will continue to get stronger if there are vanilla beans in it. If you have any large pieces, I would go ahead and put those in the gifting bottles. That’s what I would do 🙂

      December 19, 2020

      Eda, Oh no, that is so disappointing! Like with pressure canning, sometimes there can be a hairline crack in the bottles and they can break, so that is one possibility. Did you tighten the lid?

      • Eda Maria says

        December 21, 2020

        I did but barely…. was that it? Im thinking the issue might have been that the vodka was cold…. and perhaps the temperature clash? 😉

      • Marci says

        December 22, 2020

        Eda, Was your vodka significantly cold? Like from a fridge, cold? That could definitely have an effect. I’ve made that mistake before when trying to quick cool down a hot jar of Crio Bru in the snow. Won’t make that mistake again!

    December 15, 2020

    This worked great – thanks! I did mine about a week ago but would like to help it along a little bit (I know, I know, patience…). There is no harm in putting it back in for another 30 minutes to cook, right?

      December 16, 2020

      Harmony, It might decrease the alcohol percentage a bit more is the only thing I’m thinking could be a problem. If you’re using it within the year though, that’s not likely a big deal. In truth, I’ve done the same thing before, and it worked great 🙂

    Hello! Your recipe and tips were so helpful. I decided to make vanilla extract for holiday gifts but it took a while for my beans to arrive to me. Now that I have them, this process really sped things up! However, even after 30 mins at high pressure with natural release, my extract looks a little cloudy and more pronounced like you mentioned could happen after being in too long. Not sure if this if normal or not. Some of the beans almost seem empty but not all. Is this extract still okay to use? Still smells great. Thanks

        Edisa, I’d have them wait at least a couple of weeks, and for sure stick a bean in each! That will make it even stronger.
