Test run
Setting up your new Instant Pot Duo for a test run is a great way to
familiarize yourself with how the unit works before you actually cook
a meal.
To perform a test run:
1. Follow the instructions for pressure cooking on page 9 using the
Steam Smart Program.
2. Add water (but no food) as shown in ‘Using liquid to create steam’
on page 10.
3. Set the cooking time to 5 minutes.
4. After the cooking session is done, discard any remaining water.
5. Wash and dry the inner cooking pot.
Now you’re ready to cook a meal in your Instant Pot Duo!
