• Avoid using too much water when cooking with your instant pot. Always use no more than 1 and cups of cooking liquids except when the recipe expressly states that you should use more than that.
• If you want to add thickeners or flour to your meals, its better to do it after the pressure cooking cycle except in cases where a trusted recipe says otherwise.
• When your cooking liquid is too thick, it might prevent your instant pot from reaching the desired pressure so consider thinning out your cooking liquid with more water or stock when it is too thick.
• You can use your instant pot to bake or steam food. Just place a steamer basket into the pot, pour water in the pot and place your baking pan inside the steamer basket. Cover it up, set the timer and youre ready to start baking.
• There are two pressure release options for your instant pot- you can either use the quick release or the natural release option. You should use the quick release option for vegetables, and delicate foods that can get overcooked easily while the natural release option is better when youre cooking meals with a high liquid volume such as soups and porridges.
• To brown meat or other food items in your instant pot, use the saut button.
• Never force your instant pot open, allow the pressure to be fully released so that the floating valve would drop before opening it. You should also open slowly by tilting the lid away from you. You can avoid steam burns this way.
• If you need to double up a recipe (cook for more people than the recipe provides for), avoid overfilling the pot with water. The pot must never be more than full of water so as to avoid clogging the pressure release valve.
• You can cook two dishes at the same time using the pot-in-pot method. You can place two pots inside your instant pot(one at the bottom and one at the top, then use a steamer rack to separate the two pots. This method will help you save a lot of time, and cook more meals at once.
