Step 1
Mix macaroni, water, salt, mustard, and cayenne together in pressure cooker pot. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure, 5 minutes cook time and press start. When timer beeps, turn off pressure cooker, and do a quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove lid.
Stir in evaporated milk. Select browning and simmer until sauce has thickened and pasta is tender, 1 to 3 minutes.

(It is important to do it a handful at a time so the cheese doesn't clump together.)
