Pressure cooking
To create steam, pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup
or juice. If using canned, condensed or cream-based soup, add water as directed below.
Instant pot size Minimum liquid for pressure cooking
5.7 Litres / 6 Quarts 1½ cup (375 mL / ~12 oz)
*Unless otherwise specied by your recipe.
To get pressure cooking, follow the same basic steps as you did in the Initial test run
(water test) — but add food this time!
Using the multi-functional rack will ensure your food items are steamed and not
boiled. It helps to heat food evenly, prevents nutrients from leeching into the cooking
liquid, and stops food items from scorching on the bottom of the inner pot.
When the Smart Program nishes, follow your recipe’s directions to select the appropriate
venting method. See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe venting techniques.
