cooking skills 101

The best way to cook in an Instant Pot is with a few tips. First, make sure you know how big your Instant Pot is. You should know how to properly release pressure from the Instant Pot. Then, you need to be aware of common errors people make. And finally, learn how to cook dairy-based meals. More useful tips and tricks are available below. Here are just some:

Be aware that common mistakes are made by people

A few tips are important to remember when you first start cooking with an Instant Pot. The first is to not fill the Instant Pot more than halfway. When you use the pressure cooker, liquid from expanded foods can collect in the venting knob, causing the pressure to go too high and a mess to clean up. It is important to be aware how long it takes pressure to build.

Find out the size of your Instant Pot

To choose an Instant Pot, you need to know its capacity. There are many sizes to choose from, including 3-8 quarts and 10 quarts. The 10 quart Instantpot is the largest. It is a great choice for large meals, or to feed a large group. For the correct size, check the label on the pot's lid. It will indicate the volume. The size will depend on how many people you intend to feed, but you can always adjust the recipe accordingly.

Learn more about pressure-release methods

It is important to learn about pressure release methods when cooking in an Instant Pot. This will help you choose the best one for you. Quick pressure release (also called manual release or steam-release) releases pressure quickly, naturally and quickly. This is the best method for delicate ingredients like chicken breasts. They should be cooked in the pressure cooker until they are done. Slow release takes longer and is better for long cooking times.


Instant Pot: Making dairy-based meals

It can be difficult to make dairy-free dishes in an Instant pot, if you have ever tried it. While it might seem tempting to use butter and oil in your Instant Pot, this is not a wise decision. A good amount of butter and oil can make your meals creamy and delicious. Here are some helpful tips for using your Instant Pot to prepare dairy-free meals. You can also save time by using saute. You can saute potatoes and not add butter to the dish.

Ventilate your Instant Pot

Properly vent your Instant Pot after you have finished cooking. The vent may get stuck if food residues are left behind. Keep the Instant Pot lid closed until pressure is released completely. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to vent your Instant Pot. After the vent is clear, you may remove the lid.
