THE INSTANT POT IS UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL PRESSURE COOKERS that require you to pay close attention to the pressure strength, heat intensity, and the amount of time each recipe requires, and can even be unsafe.

Avoid the confusion, stress, and dangers of these old methods, and use the latest in cooking technology to cook up tasty treats and savory snacks with ease! All recipes in this book use the Manual cook function. Theres no need to worry about whether to press a poultry button or a meat button when you can just key in the cook time. The step-by-step guide below follows the key functions of the Instant Pot, but you can use just about any pressure cooking multi-cooker. Take a quick look at your user manual for guidance, and use the Pressure Time provided in the recipes to set the cook time. These pressure cooking recipes for multi-cookers are no-brainers that taste delicious, period! With a multi-cooker like the Instant Pot, just follow these steps to cook each meal:

Keep the lid, sealing ring, and float valve clean. Wipe them down before cooking if they are dirty.

Make sure the steam release is clean and pointing toward the ceiling. Fill the pot with the ingredients, as indicated in the recipe. Place the pot in the base. Cover the pot with the lid, turning it clockwise into the locked position. Plug in the multi-cooker.

Press the Manual setting within 10 seconds of locking the lid.

Press + or - keys to select the Pressure Time, as indicated in the recipe. Thats it! Just let it cook!

When the pressure time is complete, the multi-cooker will beep and it will automatically switch to Keep Warm/Cancel mode. This will trigger the pot to depressurize naturally, which may take 10-20 minutes, depending on the contents. (Allow up to 30 minutes for contents that started off frozen.) You can cover the handle with a cold, wet towel to speed up this process. With a kitchen towel or an oven-mitt, carefully turn the steam release to the left or right venting positions. Use caution and keep your hands, face, and body away from the steam as it releases.

As a safety function, the Instant Pot lid will stay locked until the pressure has fully released.

If the recipe calls for sauting, follow the steps below using your multi-cooker. If your multi-cooker does not have a saut function, please refer to the devices instruction manual for sauting. Alternatively, you can saut or brown the ingredients on the stove prior to using the multi-cooker. Follow the Before Cooking steps. Press the Saut key.

Press the Adjust key and select Normal (medium heat), unless otherwise indicated. Begin cooking when the multi-cooker says Hot. Saut or brown the contents, as indicated in the recipe.
