About Pressure Cooking - Instant Pot Ripc41-Bk Benutzerhandbuch

ABOUT PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure cooking uses pressure to raise the temperature in the cooking
pot, allowing you to cook food much faster than normal. When pressure
cooking, the Instant Pot Classic Mini goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
While the multi-cooker pre-heats, it heats the liquid to create steam.
Once enough pressure has built up, the lid locks in place and the multi-
cooker is ready to start cooking.
Cooking
When the multi-cooker reaches the required pressure level, cooking
begins and keeps the pressure level consistent throughout cooking.
See the smart program instructions starting on page 19 for details.
Steam release
When food has finished cooking, the multi-cooker is still pressurised
and hot. Venting releases the pressure, lowers the temperature and
allows you to safely remove the lid.
See How to release steam on page 17.
Using liquid to create steam
Pressure cooking requires liquid in the cooking pot to produce the
steam needed. Here are the minimum amounts you'll need:
