Remove the big stem from the bottom of the cauliflower. To remove the stem, peel away any of the green stalks and then cut the stem away as shown.

Place the destemmed cauliflower head into the basket that comes with the Instant Pot. Place the basket in the Pot.

Now add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pot. Then season the cauliflower head with garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne. Finish seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the valve is set to sealed. Cook on manual for 3 minutes for a large head. For a small head, decrease the time to 2 minutes.

When the Pot beeps, do a quick release.

After the steam has released, remove the lid from the Pot and take the cauliflower out of the pot. When the liner is empty, drain the leftover water from the liner.

Give the cooked cauliflower a quick cut to make bite sized buffalo cauliflower pieces. Put them back in the Instant Pot. Now set the Pot to saute mode. With the Pot on saute mode, pour in the olive oil, hot sauce, and pressed garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring regularly. The sauce will start to bubble and thicken slightly.
