Add 2/3 cup water to your Instant Pot  Insert a steamer basket into your Instapot Chop the top off each head of garlic. See pictures for examples. In a single layer add the garlic heads to your steamer basket. Drizzle the olive oil directly onto each head.  Close the pot and lock it.  Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes let the pot come down to normal pressure and then open the pot. Carefully remove the garlic to a work surface. Sprinkle the hot garlic with salt.  Once the garlic is cool to the touch, begin removing the cloves from the head. I did this by pinching the root area and a lot of the cloves would just pop right out. They will be mushy. I did this over a baking sheet at my kitchen table since it took a few minutes.  In a small bowl take all the cloves of garlic and smash them with a fork until a paste forms!  Store in the fridge in an airtight container and use as needed!
