Smart Programs: Non Air Frying; Pressure Cook And Steam - Instant Pot DUO CRISP + AIR FRYER User Manual

Smart Programs: Non Air Frying

Whether you are a novice cook or a culinary expert, the Duo Crisp + Air Fryer
provides Smart Programs to get you cooking—fast!
All oven-safe cookware is safe for use in the inner pot, and the included air frying
accessories feature multiple levels to suit your cooking needs.
Always inspect your Instant Pot pressure cooking lid, inner pot and cooker base
carefully to ensure they are clean and in good working condition before use.

Pressure Cook and Steam

The Pressure Cook and Steam Smart Programs are pressure cooking programs.
Using pressurized steam ensures your dish is cooked evenly and deeply, for
predictably delicious results every time.
The Duo Crisp features 2 pressure levels to choose from:
Pressure Level Suggested Use
Lo (Low) 5.8–7.2 psi Fish and seafood, soft vegetables,
(35–55 kPa) rice
Eggs, meat, poultry, roots and
Hi (High) 10.2–11.6 psi
other hard vegetables, oats, beans,
(65–85 kPa)
grains, bone broth, chili
Because the pressure level controls the temperature, a higher pressure results in a
higher cooking temperature.
Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or
juice. If using canned, condensed, or cream-based soup, add water as directed
below.
Tip: Using the steam rack will ensure your food items are steamed
Instant
and not boiled. This provides even heat distribution, prevents nutrients from
leeching into the cooking liquid, and stops food items from scorching on the
bottom of the inner pot.
