I want to cook some meatballs by boiling them in plain water. Does this remove flavor from the meatballs?
I have a instantpot pressure cooker and I thought it would be way easier than baking for example.

You can certainly poach meatballs. I wouldn't boil them, as the rolling action could tear them apart. It is more common to poach in a sauce, however water can certainly be used. You will lose some flavor (taste the water afterward, you will see), however, it wouldn't be a reason to avoid the technique if you have a purpose for it. Lots of things are poached and still have flavor.
