There are a few things to aware of when cooking meat.

  • Raw meat is perishable food, which should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if room temperature is above 32C/180F).  When use delayed cooking, do not set delayed cooking more than 1 ~ 2 hours.
  • Do not try to thicken the sauce before cooking.  Corn starch, flour or arrow-root may deposit to the bottom of the inner pot and be burnt to block heat dissipation. This could cause the cooker overheating.
  • You may want to brown the meat to seal the natural juice before starting pressure cooking.

Please note that the cooking time is pressure keeping time on Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker operating at 10.2 – 11.6 psi or 70-80 kPa. Cooking times are approximate. Please use them as a guideline only.

Instant Pot takes advantage of pressure cooking, which cooks flavorful meal, softens the food and retains vitamins/minerals.  Thanks to its micro-processor controlled cooking cycles, meals are made in a consistent fashion.

Trapping Flavor in Food

Instant Pot cooks meals in a fully sealed environment. Nutrients and aroma stay in the ingredients instead of being dispersing around the home.  The original juice of fish,  meat (e.g. chicken), and  fruits remains within the food.

Retaining Vitamins and Minerals

When steaming with Instant Pot, you don’t need to put large amount of water. Enough water to keep the pressure cooker filled with steam is sufficient. Because of this, vitamins and minerals are not leached or dissolved away by water. Since steam surrounds the food, foods are not oxidized by air exposure at heat, so asparagus, broccoli, and so on retain their bright green colors and phytochemicals.

Tender & Tasty Meal

Meat and bones can be cooked really tender in Instant Pot.  After cooking in Instant Pot, the bones pork ribs are completed separated from the meat and become chewable, allowing calcium and other minerals to be easily absorbed.

Under pressure cooking, whole grain and bean based meals are also softer texture and taste better than cooked in other methods.

Consistent Results

Another important features is that Instant Pot cooks meals with remarkable consistence. During pressure cooking, heat is very evenly, deeply, and quickly distributed. The Instant Pot’s intelligent programming ensures cooking being consistent regardless the volume of water and the amount of food. This is an unmatched advantage with programmable electric pressure cookers.
