Product Information

Also, the “Steam” program also has the option to steam without pressure – a godsend for al dente veggie enthusiasts.

It should be removed and cleaned after each use, especially following the preparation of foods that may splatter. While it is a multi cooker, it’s closer in every way to a slow cooker than a pressure or rice cooker.Regular Instant Pots don’t have 15 psi, which as I understand it is what’s needed for pressure canning.

As silicone may pick-up food odors during cooking you may wish to have one sealing ring for savory and another for sweet foods. And though the manufacturer claims you can use this versatile multi-cooker for pressure-canning and sous vide cooking, we don’t really recommend it for those jobs.Automatic Temperature Control – Regulates heating to ensure the inner pot remains within a safe temperature range, based on the program. The Instant Pot Pro stands out from other models because of its sleek black body, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. For the most part, you can keep the inner pot cleaned just as you would clean any stainless steel pot—by hand washing or the dishwasher.

Although you can set the temperature in 1°F increments, this model has a thermostat that maintains the temperature plus or minus 5° – Instant Pot does not recommend this model for sous vide. The next three letters in the name indicate the functions of the pressure cooker, which I will detail below. The Smart app lets you dictate specific temperatures and duration of your recipes in unlimited sequences. It’s a fine balance between getting the Instant Pot to seal and adding too much liquid, which can make food taste insipid.You should do a water test before the first use but you can also do it when you’re having problems with the Instant Pot pressurizing.
