THE SUPPLIESSteamed Coffee Can Bread 241x300 Steamed Coffee Can Bread!

  • Favorite Bread recipe (Boxed, Frozen or from Scratch for – 1 loaf)
  • 1 – Coffee Can that will fit into your Instant Pot. Mine was a 1-lb Coffee Can that was 5.5′ high
  • Oil, Butter or spray Oil for inside the Can
  • A couple of Tbls – Flour
  • Foil wrap
  • A Trivet  (I used one that was about 1/2 high)
  • Your Instant Pot

THE DIRECTIONS

1. Mix you favorite bread recipe up. (let rest a few minutes while you put your Instant Pot items together) 2. Oil, Butter or a spray Oil the inside of the Can.

3. Completely Flour the inside of the Can after you Oil it.

4.  Roll up your Bread into a soft ball and insert it inside the Can.

5. Add Foil to the top of the Can so it is about 1 inch higher then the lip of the Can. (notice Video) 6. Let the Bread raise until it’s 1″ from the top. (Bread will raise higher during the pressure cooking) 7. Add 8 cups of water where it’s at least 1/3 to 1/2 up the side of the can.

8. Put the lid on and “Manually” set the Instant Pot for 15 minutes. (If it’s a very heavy Bread like Multi-grain or Rye/Wheat, add another 5 minutes on top of that equaling 20 minutes total time.

9. Let the Bread cool down for 10 minutes then let out the rest of the steam.

10. Use a knife and slide around your loaf of Bread and gently slide it out to cool.

BUON APPETITO!

Instant Pot IP-LUX60 Hardware Improvements

InstantPot old power connector 300x253 Instant Pot IP LUX60 Hardware Improvements

InstantPot old power connector design

The hardware design of Instant Pot has matured for many years. Millions of electric pressure cookers of the same design are in use worldwide. However, our design team have been working on improvement to safety and performance for the last 6 months. I’d like to mention two most notable hardware enhancements.

Safety First

InstantPot new power connector 300x227 Instant Pot IP LUX60 Hardware Improvements

InstantPot new power connector design

The original power cable connector has a flat surface, see image on right. Liquid could drip from the lid or water collector along the cooker housing wall into the connector, which could become a power short-circuit hazard. Although none of such incident happened, our design team added a shield to redirect water away from the connector. This shield protect the power connector from any spilling water. See the new design in the picture on right.

Better Steam Release

Instant Pot Steam release silicon cone 300x233 Instant Pot IP LUX60 Hardware Improvements

InstantPot new steam release with silicone rubber cone, see the red circle.

The original steam release has a metal cone inside to seal over the steam release pipe on the lid. Metal on metal doesn’t always create a tight seal. There were reports of steam constantly leaking from the steam release. Although the defect rate is very low, at about 0.6%, our design team believed that they can resolve the problem once for all. The solution is to use a silicone rubber cone in the steam release. The silicone rubber cone creates a tight seal over the steam release pipe. This design was shipped with the last container load of Instant Pot IP-CSG60 and we haven’t had any report of leaky steam release.
