About Pressure Cooking - Instant POT PRO PLUS User Manual

ABOUT PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure cooking uses pressure to raise the temperature in the cooking
pot, allowing you to cook food much faster than normal. When pressure
cooking, the Instant Pot Pro Plus goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
While the multi-cooker pre-heats, it heats the liquid to create steam.
Once enough pressure has built up, the lid locks in place and the multi-
cooker is ready to start cooking.
Cooking
When the multi-cooker reaches the required pressure level, cooking
begins and keeps the pressure level consistent throughout cooking.
See the Smart Program instructions starting on page 19 for details.
Steam release
When food has finished cooking, the multi-cooker is still pressurized
and hot. Venting releases the pressure, lowers the temperature and
allows you to safely remove the lid.
See How to release steam on page 16.
Failure to adhere to safety instructions may result in personal
injury and/or property damage and may void your warranty.
