Instant Pot DUO PLUS Bedienungsanleitung Seite 12

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 much faster than normal.
Behind the magic curtain
When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
What you see
The display shows On.
Cooking
What you see
The float valve may
release a bit of steam
before it pops up and
seals the multicooker.
The display switches
to the cooking
countdown timer.
Releasing pressure
What you see
If Keep Warm is on
after cooking, the
timer counts up
from 00:00.
If not, the multicooker
goes back to standby
and the display
shows End.
The float valve is still
popped up.

What you don't see
While the multicooker pre-heats,
it vaporises 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 multicooker reaches
the required pressure level,
cooking begins.
The Instant Pot automatically
maintains High or Low pressure
throughout cooking.
What you don't see
Although food has finished
cooking, the multicooker is still
pressurised and hot, which is why
the float valve is up.
Releasing pressure lowers
the temperature inside the
multicooker, which allows you to
safely remove the lid once the float
valve has dropped.
Tips
The time it takes for the multicooker to
pressurise depends on things like food
and liquid temperature and volume.
Frozen foods have the longest pre-
heating time. For the fastest results,
thaw your food before cooking it.
While you're waiting, read Releasing
pressure for information
on safe venting techniques.
Tips
A higher pressure means a higher
temperature.
Smart Programme settings (e.g.,
cooking time, pressure level, etc.)
can be adjusted at any time during
cooking.
Tips
See Releasing pressure for information
on safe venting techniques and what
they're used for.
Follow your recipe instructions to
choose the best venting method for
your meal.
Instant Tip: The Instant Pot cools
faster if Keep Warm is turned off.
