  We highly discourage using the Timer funcon for perishable 
foods, such as meat and sh, which may go bad when le at 
room temperature for hours. Cooked rice may yield overly so 
texture due to long soaking me. It may also cause a layer of 
burned rice at the boom of the pot if it is le in Keep-Warm mode for too long.  
  The Timer funcon is not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and scky 
foods. Because of the possibility of these foods gumming up the oat valve causing it to 
never seal and leading to overowing food content, it is highly recommended that your 
Instant Pot not be le unaended during the preheat cycle. Since the delay funcon 
implies leaving the unit unaended, we strongly recommend not using the mer funcon 
for these types of food.
