Pressure Cook, Rice and Canning
Jump start magic! These programmes use pressurised steam to cook food quickly, evenly,
and deeply, 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 making a variety of rice and grains.
Choose from 3 pressure levels, depending on the Smart Programme.

(30 – 50 kPa)
High 10.2 – 11.6 psi
(70 – 90 kPa)

Instant Tip: Use the multi-functional 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 cooking pot.
To avoid scorching or scalding injury, be cautious when pressure cooking with
more than 60 mL of oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based soups, and
thick sauces. Add suitable liquid to thin sauces. Avoid recipes that call for more
than 1/4 cup 60 mL of oil or fat content.
