Get started Initial test run (water test) Do you have to do the water test? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your new Pro prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this tireless kitchen hero works. Stage 1: Setting up the Pro for pressure cooking 01 Remove the inner pot from the multicooker base and fill it to the first line (1) with water. 02 Insert the inner pot into the multicooker base. 03 Connect the power lead to a 220-240 V power source.
Pressure cooking 101 Releasing pressure Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC. These high temperatures allow you to cook some foods much faster than normal. You must release pressure after pressure cooking before attempting to open the lid. Behind the magic curtain Follow your recipe’s instructions to choose a venting method, and always wait until the float valve drops into the lid before opening. When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot goes through 3 stages.
Releasing pressure Releasing pressure Natural Release (NR or NPR) Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot Pro depressurises naturally over time. What to do After cooking has finished, leave the quick release switch in the Seal position until the float valve drops into the lid. What to expect Your meal continues to cook even after the Smart Programme has ended.

To use the QuickCool tray, fill it with ice or water and freeze it.
Pressure control features Pressure control features Anti-block shield Float valve The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, which assists with pressure regulation.
