Pressure cooking 101

When pressure cooking, the Crisp goes through 3 stages.

DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the float valve is up and NEVER attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. DO NOT place hands, face, or any exposed skin over the steam release valve when releasing pressure.
DO NOT cover the steam release valve.

NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews, chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and grains).

Releasing pressure

You must release pressure after pressure cooking before attempting to open the lid.
Follow your recipe’s instructions to choose a venting method.

Venting methods

Natural Release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the cooker drops, the cooker depressurizes naturally over time.

NOTICE

Use NR to depressurize the cooker after cooking high-starch foods (e.g., soups, stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and grains).

Control Panel

Pressure control features (Your little bag of tricks!)

See Care, cleaning and storage for installation and removal of parts.

Pressure cooking lid

Quick release button

The quick release button controls the steam release valve — the part controls whether
pressure is released or not.

See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe depressurization techniques.

Steam release valve

The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam release pipe. When the cooker releases pressure, steam ejects from the top of the steam release valve.

The steam release valve is integral to product safety and necessary for pressure cooking.

WARNING: Do not cover or block the steam release valve in any way.

Pressure control features

Sealing ring

When the pressure cooking lid is closed, the sealing ring creates an air-tight seal between the lid and the inner pot.

The sealing ring must be installed before using the cooker. Only one sealing ring should be installed in the lid at a time.

Instant Tip: Silicone is porous, so it absorbs strong aromas and certain flavors. Keep extra sealing rings on hand to limit the transfer of aromas and flavors between dishes.

CAUTION:

Only use authorized Instant Pot sealing rings. DO NOT use a stretched or damaged sealing ring.

• Always check for cuts, deformation and correct installation of the sealing ring before cooking.
• Sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. The sealing ring should be replaced every 12–18 months or sooner if you notice stretching, deformation, or damage.

Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may lead to personal injury or property damage.

Float Valve

The float valve is a visual indication of whether there is pressure in the cooker (pressurized) or not (depressurized). It appears in 2 positions:

The float valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurized steam. These parts must be installed before use. Do not attempt to operate the Instant Pot without the float valve properly installed. Do not touch the float valve during use.

DANGER

DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the float valve is up and NEVER attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Anti-block shield

The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.
The anti-block shield is integral to product safety and necessary for pressure cooking.

Cooking

The Crisp is super versatile in the kitchen — whether you want to pressure cook first and use the air fryer lid to crisp up your dish, or if you’d prefer to cook your meal just using the air fryer lid — you can!

Instant Tip: A jingle sounds when the lids are in the correct position, and the display indicates OFF.

WARNING

• Do not fill inner pot higher than the PC MAX — 2/3 line as indicated on the inner pot.
• When cooking foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans, pasta) do not fill the inner pot higher than the — 1/2 line as indicated on the inner pot
• Always cook with the inner pot in place. Do not pour food or liquid into the cooker base. To avoid risk of personal injury and/or property damage, place food and liquid ingredients in the inner pot, then insert the inner pot into the cooker base.

CAUTION

Always inspect the lid and inner pot carefully to make sure they are clean and in good working condition before use.

• To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, replace the inner pot if it is dented, deformed or damaged.
• Use only authorized Instant Pot inner pots made for this model when cooking.

Always make sure the heating element is clean and dry before inserting the inner pot into the cooker base.

Failure to follow these instructions may damage the cooker. Replace damaged parts to make sure safe function.

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 Crisp features 2 pressure levels to choose from:

Liquids for pressure cooking should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or juice. If using canned, condensed or cream-based soup, add water as directed below.

CAUTION:

To avoid scorching or scalding injury, be cautious when pressure cooking with more than 1/4 cup (~2 oz / 60 mL) 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 (~2 oz / 60 mL) of oil or fat content.

To get pressure cooking, follow the same basic steps as you did in the Initial test run (water test) — but add food this time

Instant Tip: Using the multi-functional rack will ensure your food items are steamed and not boiled. It helps heat food evenly, prevents nutrients from leeching into the cooking liquid, and stops food items from scorching on the bottom of the inner pot.

When the Smart Program finishes, follow your recipe’s directions to select the appropriate venting method. See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe venting techniques.
Find full instructions for use and pressure cooking timetables online at
instantpot.com/duocrisp.

DANGER

DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the float valve is up and NEVER attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Slow Cook
The Slow Cook Smart Program is comparable to the cooking process of traditional slow cookers, and is compatible for use with any of your slow cooker recipes. Follow recipe directions for slow cooking.

The float valve should not rise during Slow Cook. The lid is removable throughout the cooking process for easy access. If the float valve rises, make sure the quick release button is set to the Vent position. Refer to Releasing pressure: Venting methods.

Find full instructions for use online at instantpot.com/duocrisp.

Sauté
Sauté can be used in place of a frying pan, griddle or flat-top grill. Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to boost flavors.

When pressure cooking after using Sauté, deglaze the inner pot to make sure food items do not scorch.

To deglaze: remove food items from the inner pot and add a thin liquid (e.g., water, broth, wine) to the hot surface. Use a wooden or silicone scraper to loosen anything that may be stuck to the bottom of the inner pot.

Find full instructions for use online at instantpot.com/duocrisp.

WARNING: The Sauté Smart Program reaches high temperatures. If unmonitored, food may burn on this setting. Do not use the lid and do not leave your cooker unattended while using Sauté.

Sous Vide
Sous Vide cooking involves cooking food underwater, in an air-tight, food-safe bag, for a long period of time. Food cooks in its own juices and comes out delicious and unbelievably tender.

Find full instructions for use and sous vide cooking tips and timetables online at instantpot.com/duocrisp.

Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil and Dehydrate

Using the air fryer lid is an amazing way to ramp up your meal’s flavor and texture.

NOTICE
If the Food burn error appears while using the air fryer lid, deglaze the bottom of the inner pot as necessary, according to Cooking: Sauté instructions.

CAUTION
Always ensure the stainless-steel inner pot is present in the cooker base when using the air fryer lid. DO NOT use a non-stick ceramic coated inner pot.
