Learn the basics of pressure cooking
• Pressure cooking relies on steam, and to generate steam your Instant Pot needs liquid. The recommended minimum liquid quantity for a Duo Mini (3L) is 250m1, Duo 60 (5.7L) is 375m1 and Duo 80 (8L) is 500m1.
• If sautéing before pressure cooking, you should always deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon and a bit of liquid (water, stock, wine) to remove any burnt-on or caramelized bits.
• The Sauté function can also be used after cooking to reduce a sauce should it be too liquid-based.
• Avoid using flour or thickeners and add these at the end of the pressure- cooking program if needed. -
