Initial set up (It won't bite!)

You — yes, you — can do this!

“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure.

In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”

– Julia Child

01 Pull that Instant Pot Pro out of the box!

02 Remove the packaging material and accessories from in and around the multicooker

and make sure all the parts are accounted for. See Product, parts and accessories for a full parts breakdown.

Make sure to check under the inner pot!

03 Wash the inner pot in a dishwasher or with hot water and dish soap. Rinse it well with

warm, clear water and use a soft, dry cloth to thoroughly dry the outside of the inner pot.

04 Wipe the heating element with a soft, dry cloth to make sure there are no stray

packaging particles left in the multicooker base.

Don’t remove the safety warning stickers from the lid (unless specied on the sticker!) or

the labels from the back of the multicooker base.

05 You may be tempted to put the Pro on your stovetop — but don’t do it! Place the

multicooker base on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material and external heat sources.

DANGER

DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat 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.

CAUTION

Pressurized steam releases through the top of the steam release valve. Keep exposed skin away from the steam

Pressure cooking 101

Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212ºF. These high temperatures allow you to cook some foods way faster than normal.

Behind the magic curtain

When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot goes through 3 stages.

Pre-heating

pressurize depends on things like food and liquid temperature and volume.

Frozen foods have the longest preheating time. For the fastest results, thaw your food before cooking it.

No need to hang around during this stage — trust that IP magic!

A higher pressure means a higher temperature.

Smart Program settings (e.g., cooking time, pressure level, etc.) can be adjusted at any time during cooking.

Depressurization

What you see What you don’t see Tips

If Keep Warm is on after cooking, the cooking progress bar moves over to Keep Warm, and the timer counts up from 00:00.

If not, the multicooker returns to standby and displays End.

14 | [email protected] | 1-800-828-7280

Although food has nished

cooking, the pressure cooker is still pressurized and hot.

Venting the pressure lowers the temperature and allows you to safely remove the lid.

Follow your recipe instructions when choosing a venting method.

See Releasing pressure: Venting methods on the next page for information on safe venting techniques.

Instant Tip: The Instant Pot cools faster if Keep Warm is turned off!

Page 15

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, and always wait until the oat

valve drops into the lid before opening.

WARNING

Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. DO NOT place hands,

face, or any exposed skin over the

steam release assembly when releasing pressure to avoid injury.

Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve or cover to avoid injury

and/or property damage.

DANGER

DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER

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).

Timed Natural Release

The carryover cooking continues for a specic amount of time, then stops quickly when you

release the remaining pressure. Perfect for cooking rice and grains.

What to do What to expect

Leave the quick release switch in the Seal position for a few minutes (according to your recipe) then move it from Seal to Vent and wait

until the oat valve drops into

the lid.

If you see a lot of spatter while releasing pressure, move the quick release switch back from Vent to Seal, and wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter continues, use NR to safely release the remaining pressure.

Pressure cooking lid

What we love about it What you should know about it

When you close the lid (over the handles on the new inner pot!), it automatically sets to Seal for seriously easy pressure cooking.

The lid handle is comfortable to use whether you’re left or right-handed, and, stands up in the multicooker base!

When it’s plugged in, the Pro plays a little jingle when you open and close the lid. :)

The lid is removable during non-pressure cooking so you can taste-test as you go.

When pressure cooking, the lid only locks into place once the multicooker has pressurized. Try not to remove the lid unnecessarily!

Removing the lid

01 Grip the lid handle and turn it counter-

clockwise to align the symbol on the lid with the symbol on the rim of the multicooker base .

02 Lift the lid up and off the multicooker

base towards your body.

See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe depressurization techniques.

Closing the lid

01 Align the symbol on the lid with the

symbol on the multicooker base , then lower the lid onto the track.

02 Turn the lid clockwise until the symbol

on the lid aligns with the middle of the control panel.

To use the QuickCool tray, ll it with ice or water and freeze it. Once frozen, remove the

protective cover from the pressure cooking lid, and position the QuickCool tray on the exposed metal of the lid.

When the oat valve drops into the lid, remove the QuickCool tray, discard the water and

open the lid. Use caution when removing the tray as some or all of the ice may have melted.

Anti-block shield

The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, which assists with pressure regulation.

The anti-block shield is integral to product safety and necessary for pressure cooking, so it must be installed before use.

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 use.

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 avors. Keep extra sealing rings on hand to limit the transfer of those aromas and avors between dishes. Visit

our store to start color coding your cooking!

CAUTION

Always check for cuts, deformation and correct installation before cooking, as sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. If you notice stretching,

deformation, or damage to your sealing ring, DO NOT use it.

Replace the sealing ring every 12 to 18 months or sooner, and only use

authorized Instant Pot sealing rings.

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

Float valve

The oat valve lets you know when there is pressure in the multicooker (pressurized) or not

(depressurized). It appears in 2 positions:

Pressurized

The oat valve has visibly popped

up above the surface of the lid.

The oat 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 oat

valve properly installed. Do not touch the oat valve during use.

The oat valve has descended,

and the top is ush with the lid or below.

DANGER

DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat 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.

Tips

It is recommended to use timed Natural Release or follow recipes for the best outcome.

This is a non-pressure steam program which is great for cooking delicate food, like zucchini and broccoli.

Level 1 to 5 works like your stovetop sauté pan where 5 is the highest heat for browning, and 1 is the lowest heat for simmer.

Works just like a traditional slow cooker. Ensure cooking time is set to 4 hours or more for optimal result. Caution: Cooking less than 3 hours will result in uncooked food.

Pressure Cook and Rice

Jump start magic! These programs use pressurized steam to cook food quickly, evenly, and deeply, for delicious results every time!

For the best pressure cooking results, always follow an authorized 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 2 pressure levels, depending on the Smart Program.

Pressure level Suggested use Notes

Low 5.8 – 7.2 psi

(30 – 50 kPa)

High 10.2 – 11.6 psi

(70 – 90 kPa)

Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or juice. If using canned, condensed or cream-based soup, add liquid as directed below.

Instant pot size Minimum liquid for pressure cooking*

Fish and seafood, soft vegetables and rice.

Also for canning of high-acid foods.

Eggs, meat, poultry, root vegetables, oats,

beans, grains, bone broth, stew, chili.

When pressure cooking,

the pressure level

controls the cooking

temperature, so a

higher pressure results

in a higher cooking

temperature.

6 Quarts / 5.7 Litres

8 Quarts / 7.6 Litres

*Unless otherwise specied in recipe.

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.

1 ½ cups (375 mL / ~12 oz)

2 cups (500 mL / ~16 oz)

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.

Deglazing

Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to boost

avors, as sugars caramelize from the high heat of the Sauté Smart Program. Deglazing the inner pot lets you unlock those avors in amazing sauces, gravies and more.

To deglaze, remove food items from the inner pot and add a thin liquid, like water, broth or wine to the hot surface. Use a wooden or silicone scraper to list up any food stuck to the bottom of the inner pot and stir it into the liquid.

WARNING

The Sauté Smart Program reaches high temperatures. If left unmonitored, food may burn on this setting. DO NOT use a lid and DO NOT leave the multicooker unattended while using Sauté.

Reverse searing

Searing your meat after slow and precise cooking is the easiest way to boost those already delicious avors through the roof without overcooking. Try reverse searing for tender, juicy meat with a beautiful, burnished crust.

01 After sous vide cooking, remove the meat from the cooking pouch and gently pat it

dry to remove as much moisture from the exterior of the meat.

02 Use the Sauté program set to High to give it a good sear, or use a hot cast iron pan,

browning torch, or a grill — anything hot to lock in that moisture!

In general, after sautéing, steaks need to rest to allow the internal temperature to even out. However, with sous vide cooking, the internal temperature is already consistent. So there’s no need to rest—you can serve your steak immediately.

Ingredients and Seasonings

• Salt goes a long way when it has nowhere to go, so it’s better to use a little less than

you normally would, especially with meats, poultry, and sh. If you nd it needs more

after cooking, it’s easy to salt to taste.

• Use high quality, fresh ingredients when cooking sous vide to ensure the best

possible avor.

• Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. Garlic powder can become bitter when cooked sous vide. Fresh garlic will give you the best results.

Yogurt

Tips for yogurt making

• The thicker the milk, the thicker the yogurt!

• For even thicker yogurt, pasteurize your milk twice before fermenting.

• For the thickest yogurt, use a cheesecloth to strain out the liquid whey, and get rich Greek-style yogurt.

• The longer you ferment your milk, the tangier the yogurt will be.

• Cool your fresh yogurt, then put it in the fridge (covered) for 12 to 24 hours to allow

the avors to develop.

• Honey, nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit are perfect toppers for your homemade yogurt!

Tips for yogurt making

Yogurt cups are a convenient way to portion out yogurt servings.

01 After Step 2: Add starter culture, carefully pour the milk into your yogurt cups and

seal them tightly.

02 Place the steam rack on the bottom of the inner pot.

03 Position the yogurt cups on the rack and add water to the inner pot until the cups are

immersed halfway.

04 Follow the steps in Step 3: Ferment yogurt normally.

Removing and installing parts.

• With the steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, clean the interior of the steam release pipe with a pipe cleaner to prevent clogging.

• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, grasp the lid handle and hold the lid vertically over a sink, then turn it 360°— like turning a steering wheel.

• After cleaning and draining, store the lid upside down on the multicooker base to allow it to air dry completely.

• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to decrease residual odor of avorful meals. To eliminate odors, add 1 cup (250 mL / ~8 oz) water and 1 cup (250 mL / ~8 oz) white vinegar to the inner pot, then run Pressure Cook for 5 to 10 minutes and QR pressure.

• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty and clean it as needed. Do not allow food or moisture to sit in the condensation collector, as harmful bacteria may result.

Dishwasher safe.

• Acute hard water staining (rainbow, bluish or white discoloration) may require scrubbing with a sponge dampened with vinegar or a nonabrasive cleanser like Bar Keeper’s Friend.

• For tough or burned food residue, add boiling water and dish soap to the inner pot and let it sit for a few hours for easy cleaning.

• Make sure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing the inner pot in the multicooker base.

Wipe only.

• Use a barely damp cloth to remove particles from the cord.

• Wrap it around the multicooker base and tuck the end into the cord holder.

Wipe only.

Multicooker base

Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the multicooker’s safety or performance.

• Wipe the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim with a barely damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before inserting the inner pot.

• Clean the multicooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth or sponge.
