Pressure Cook and Rice

Jump start magic! These programmes use pressurised steam to cook food quickly, evenly
and thoroughly, for delicious results every time!
For the best pressure cooking results, always follow an authorised Instant Pot recipe or our
tried, tested and true pressure cooking timetables which feature grain-to-water ratios for
preparing a variety of rice and grains.
Choose from 2 pressure levels, depending on the Smart Programme.
Pressure level
Low 30 – 50 kPa Fish and seafood, soft vegetables and rice.
(5.8 – 7.2 psi) Also for canning of high-acid foods.
High 70 – 90 kPa Eggs, meat, poultry, root vegetables, oats,
(10.2 – 11.6 psi) beans, grains, bone broth, stew, chilli.
Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or juice.
If using tinned, condensed or cream-based soup, add liquid as directed below.
Instant pot size
5.7 Litres
7.6 Litres
Instant Tip: Use the steam rack to heat food evenly, prevent nutrients from leeching
into the cooking liquid, allow oil and grease to drip off the food, and prevent food
from scorching the bottom of the inner pot.
To avoid scorching or scalding injury, be careful when pressure cooking with more
than ~ 60 mL (1/4 cup) of oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based soups
and thick sauces. Add suitable liquid to thin down sauces. Avoid recipes that call
for more than ~ 60 mL (1/4 cup) of oil or fat content.

Suggested use Notes
When pressure cooking,
the pressure level
controls the cooking
temperature, so a
higher pressure results
in a higher cooking
temperature.
