Pressure Cooking 101 - Instant Pot Pro 60 Bedienungsanleitung

Pressure cooking 101

Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212ºF.
These high temperatures allow you to cook some foods way faster than normal.
Behind the magic curtain
When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
What you see
The cooking progress
bar shows Pre-heating.
The display shows On.
Cooking
What you see
The cooking progress
bar moves over to
Cooking.
The display switches
to the cooking
countdown timer.
Depressurization
What you see
If Keep Warm is on
after cooking, the
cooking progress bar
moves over to Keep
Warm, and the timer
counts up from 00:00.
If not, the multicooker
returns to standby and
displays End.

What you don't see
While the multicooker pre-heats, it
vaporizes liquid to create steam.
Once enough steam has built up,
the float valve pops up and locks
the lid in place.
What you don't see
When the Instant Pot reaches the
required pressure level, cooking
begins.
The multicooker automatically
maintains High or Low pressure
throughout cooking.
What you don't see
Although food has finished
cooking, the pressure cooker is
still pressurized and hot.
Venting the pressure lowers the
temperature and allows you to
safely remove the lid.
Tips
The time it takes the multicooker to
pressurize depends on things like food
and liquid temperature and volume.
Frozen foods have the longest
preheating time. For the fastest results,
thaw your food before cooking it.
No need to hang around during this
stage — trust that IP magic!
Tips
A higher pressure means a higher
temperature.
Smart Program settings (e.g., cooking
time, pressure level, etc.) can be
adjusted at any time during cooking.
Tips
Follow your recipe instructions when
choosing a venting method.
See Releasing pressure: Venting
methods on the next page for
information on safe venting techniques.
Instant Tip: The Instant Pot cools faster
if Keep Warm is turned off!
