Pressure cooking 101
Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212°F.
These high temperatures allow you to cook food much faster than normal.
(Behind the magic curtain)
When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot Pro Crisp goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating

Tips
The cooking progress bar

.
The display

On
.
While the multicooker
preheats, it vaporises liquid
to create steam.
Once enough steam has built
up, the float valve pops up
and locks the lid in place.
The time it takes 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.
No need to hang around during this stage — trust
that IP magic!

A higher pressure means a higher
temperature.

Although food has finished
cooking, the pressure cooker
is still pressurised and hot.
Venting the pressure lowers the
temperature and allows you to
safely remove the lid.
Follow your recipe instructions when
choosing a venting method.
See
Releasing pressure: Venting methods
on
the next page for information on safe venting
techniques.
Instant Tip
: The Instant Pot cools faster
if Keep Warm is turned off!
