Instant Pot Size
Minimum Liquid for Pressure Cooking*
5.7 Litres
375 ml
*
Unless
otherwise specified in recipe.
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 above.
Instant Tip
:
Use the steam rack to lift foods out of the cooking liquid. This
ensures even heat distribution, prevents nutrients from leeching into the
cooking liquid, and stops food items from scorching on the bottom of the
inner pot.
CAUTION
To avoid scorching or scalding injury, be cautious when cooking with
more than 60 ml oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based
soups, and thick sauces. Add suitable liquid to thin sauces. Avoid
recipes that call for more than 60 ml of oil or fat content.
