FAQs

What should you not cook in an instant pot?

I don’t recommend cooking dairy-based sauces because they may curdle due to extreme heat and the lack of constant stirring. I wouldn’t cook burgers, steak, or fried chicken in a pressure cooker, either, as they don’t have the nice crispiness from frying or grilling.

How does an instant pot work?

This cooking vessel traps the heat and steam, which build up pressure with its tight seal. That way, it heats the food higher than the boiling point of water, cooking the meat fast and tender without drying it out.

Does meat get tenderer the longer you pressure cook it?

Yes, it sure does. However, be careful not to cook it too long because it will end up dry and tasteless.
