FAQ

You asked, we answered!
  • We recommend using a trusted recipe, such as the recipe outlined in the link below, to make yogurt in an Instant Pot that does not have a yogurt button.

    Easy Vanilla Yogurt

  • A quick release, or manual release, occurs when the user switches the Instant Pot from 'sealing' to 'venting' and will cause a jet of steam to eject through the top of the steam release handle. During a natural release, cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot depressurizes naturally over time. To release pressure naturally, the user must simply leave the Instant Pot set to 'sealing' until all pressure is released. For a quicker natural release, ensure 'Keep Warm' is turned off.

  • Follow the cleaning guidelines outlined in your user manual and ensure you clean your Instant Pot and its parts after each use. The steam rack, and the lid and its accessories are top-rack dishwasher safe. The inner pot is dishwasher safe. To clean the body of your Instant Pot, wipe the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim with a barely damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before inserting the inner pot. Clean the Instant Pot’s base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth or sponge. Please ensure all parts are dry before storing them. Routinely inspect accessories and components and replace if you notice damage or wear.

  • The Instant Pot can cook a wide variety of foods. For best results, we recommend using a trusted Instant Pot recipe.

  • Do not use the quick release method when cooking fatty, oily, thick, or high-starch foods (e.g. stews, chilis, pasta, and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g. beans and grains). DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the steam release handle or float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure, and do not lean over the appliance when removing the lid.

  • Automatic Keep Warm is the Keep Warm function that is activated after the cooking cycle is completed. This function will keep your food warm until you are ready to serve - up to 10 hours or until turned off!You can disable this feature by pressing the "Keep Warm" button at anytime, before or during cooking.
