B efore you begin your journey with your new Instant Pot, you will need to understand how it functions. These are some of the preset buttons/settings versus the standard ones provided with what each function performs:

• Timer : The timer function can delay the cooking process. You will need to choose this feature to cook with by making adjustments; press the timer button, and click the (+) and (-) keys.

• Slow Cooker : This function will set a default to a four-hour slow cook time.

  Adjust the setting for Low (190-201F), Regular (194-205F) or the High setting (199-210F). You can adjust the cooking time by using the minus and plus keys.

• Pressure : This button will change the pressure from high to low.

• Yogurt : Make delicious treats with this handy Instant Pot Yogurt maker. You can place the yogurt directly in the pot or jars.

You will notice some of the following terms used throughout each chapter of the recipes:

• Instant Pot : IP

• Quick Release (QR): This function is used to release the pressure quickly such as when you are cooking vegetables. It will prevent the veggies from becoming mushy. You will also use the QR to add ingredients to a recipe during the cooking process. Make sure to use a towel to prevent the chances of being burned by steam when you diffuse the pressure.

  Turn the valve slowly but close it quickly if you see the food is bubbling.

• Natural Pressure Release (NPR) or NR : Sometimes the term is also stated as 'naturally release the pressure.' The context will change according to the type of recipe. If you dont disturb the pot during the cooking cycle; it will release naturally. The silver button will be moving. This sequence is used to help keep your meat from becoming tough.

• Divided : You will notice in some recipes that one ingredient is used in more than one place in the recipe.

These are regular cooking terms but may be useful if you are a beginner:

• Cup = C
• Tablespoon = T. = Tbsp.
• Teaspoon = t. =tsp.
• Gram = g

Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Since you are probably a beginner; you will benefit from some of the mistakes made by others.

Hopefully, by using these guidelines; you wont make the same mistakes. #1: The Cooking Liquid : You might experience situations where you don't have enough liquid, or you might have too much. Either way, it will cause problems if the steam cannot properly build in the IP. It is recommended to use one cup of liquid in the Instant Pot, at least until you can better judge how to use less or more. If you have too much liquid, your cooking times will increase which can lead to overcooking the food. #2: Forgetting to place the inner pot back into the IP before pouring the ingredients into the pot is a frequent mistake: Mistakes can happen when you are in a rush preparing dinner or any other meal. #2: Forgetting to place the inner pot back into the IP before pouring the ingredients into the pot is a frequent mistake: Mistakes can happen when you are in a rush preparing dinner or any other meal.

There is no need to stress because your handy machine will come to the rescue! One way to remember the inner liner is to place a silicone mat, a glass lid or a wooden spoon across the pot each time you remove the liner. #3: Overfilling the Instant Pot : Caution must be used when filling your Pot with liquids and food products. Just a small amount over the maximum line can create a clog in the venting knob. For food items which expand such as dried veggies, beans, and grains; dont fill the unit over full. For pressure cooking, you only fill the unit to 2/3 full. #4: Placing the IP onto the stovetop and turning the dial accidently also happens often: Working in crowded spaces can sometimes create issues, and accidents happen. #4: Placing the IP onto the stovetop and turning the dial accidently also happens often: Working in crowded spaces can sometimes create issues, and accidents happen.

Make it a routine to place a wooden chopping block or similar item over the range to avoid the burner accidently being turned on while you are using the pot. #5: OOPS: Forget to turn the venting knob into the sealed position : Never walk away until you are confident the floating valve is popped up. It is crucial to turn the vent knob each time you use the cooker. This step will also become a learned behavior as you become more accustomed to using your new IP. #6: Forgetting to place the sealing ring back in the lid before cooking : The seal ring is removable for cleaning, and can be easily overlooked after it is washed. #7: Pressing the timer button to set the cooking times also happens on occasion: If you are a new owner, don't be surprised if you hit the timer button' for setting the cooking time.
