1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use side handles for carrying or moving.
3. Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven; heat from an external source will damage the appliance.
4. Do not use near water or flame. Please keep out of direct sunlight.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing hot liquids. Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure.
6. Do not use appliance for anything other than intended use.
7. Do not use outdoors. Not for commercial use. For household use only.
8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain the appliance is properly closed before operating.
   Please see the “Getting Started” section.
9. Do not fill the appliance over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the appliance over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Please see the ”Pressure Cooking” section.
10. Before each use, check the steam release valve/handle, steam release pipe, anti-block shield and float valve for clogging.
11. Do not open the appliance until the appliance has depressurized and all internal pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up and/or the lid is difficult to open, this indicates that the appliance is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the appliance can be hazardous. Please see the “Getting Started” section for instructions to safely remove lid.
12. Do not use this appliance for deep frying or pressure frying with oil.
13. Do not lean over or place your hands or face over the steam release valve/handle or float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure. Do not touch the metal portion of the lid when the appliance is in operation; this could result in injury.
14. Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and float valve with cloth or other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle and float valve can create a safety issue and may cause injury.
15. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve/handle or float valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes.
    There may be residual pressure in the appliance. Allow the appliance to depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening.
    Please see the “Troubleshooting” section.
16. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the sides of the lid and ensure sealing ring is properly installed. Please see the “Getting Started” section.
17. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

Cooking and Safety Tips

Safety Tips

• Extreme caution should be taken when pressing the Quick Release button. Keep hands and face away from the steam release openings.
  Failure to comply may result in scalding or serious injury.
• Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released.
  As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down the lid is locked and cannot be opened. Do not force lid open.
• When opening the lid, the inner pot may adhere to the lid. This is caused by vacuum due to cooling. To release the vacuum, press the Quick Release button to the Venting position.
• If the float valve is stuck, press the Quick Release button to the Venting position. Once all the steam is released, push the float valve down with a pen or long stick.
• Follow the recipe instructions for releasing pressure. With the Quick Release method, begin immediately upon completion of pressure cooking; otherwise the food may be overcooked. With the Natural Release method, wait for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Typically, the Quick Release method is used for delicate foods such as custards and fresh vegetables; the Natural Release method is used for meats, soups and grains.
• Always add at least 2 cups (~18 fl oz / 500 mL) of water or other liquids so enough steam can be generated to cook under pressure. Liquids include cooking sauces, wine, beer, stocks, fruit juices and vegetable juices, etc.
• Oils and oil-based sauces do not have enough water content and will not account for the required liquid volume.
• For extra flavor, use the Saute function as you would when cooking with conventional cookware. For example, brown the meat and vegetables for a stew before adding liquids and cooking under pressure.
• Time to pressure and cooking time will vary according to the temperature and quantity of the ingredients. Food that is cold or frozen will take longer to cook than food that is at room temperature.
• When using the Delay program, allow sufficient cooling down time before serving.
• The Delay program is not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and thick liquids. Cooking progresses should be monitored when cooking these foods.

Care and Cleaning

Unplug your Instant Pot® and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.

• The inner pot and lid are both dishwasher safe
• Remove the inner pot and lid and wash with detergent. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Wipe the pressure cooker base rim and slot dry with cloth to prevent rusting of the exterior pot rim.
• Remove the sealing ring and anti-block shield from the underside of the lid. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• The sealing ring must always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid.
• Clean the outer body with a damp soft cloth or sponge
• Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of the parts or components.
• Periodically check that the steam release valve and float valve are in good working order and free of debris.

Images are for reference only. Refer to actual product.

When cooker is plugged in, it will play a jingle when the lid is opened and closed.

Open: Grip handle and turn lid counter-clock-wise until symbol on lid is aligned with symbol on rim of cooker base. Lift lid up and
off of cooker base.
*Note: Always check lid for damage prior to cooking.

Close: Grip handle and align the symbol on lid with on rim of cooker base. Lower lid into track, then turn lid clockwise until symbol on the lid lines up
withindicator on base.

Remove: Pull sealing ring out from behind sealing ring rack.

Inspect sealing ring rack. It should be centered in the lid and an even height all the way around.
Sealing ring must be installed before use.

Install: Place sealing ring over sealing ring rack and press into place. Ensure entire sealing ring is snug behind sealing ring rack.

After closing the lid, the sealing ring creates an airtight seal between lid and cooker base.
The sealing ring is an integral part of product safety. Replace your sealing ring every 12-18 months or when deformation or damage is noticed.

Always check for cuts or deformations in sealing ring prior to cooking. 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.

Sealing rings may stretch over time. Do not use a stretched or damaged sealing ring. If puckering occurs, replace sealing ring.

The float valve has 2 positions. It pops up to indicate when the cooker is pressurized, and lowers into the lid when the cooker is depressurized.
Refer to “Venting Methods” section in this Guide for information on releasing pressure.

Remove: Place one finger on the flat top of float valve. Turn lid over. Detach silicone cap from bottom side of float valve. Remove float valve from top of lid. Do not discard float valve or silicone cap.

The float valve and silicone cap must be installed before use to seal in pressurized steam.

Install: Drop float valve into float valve hole on top of lid. Place one finger on the flat top of float valve. Turn lid over. Attach silicone cap to bottom of float valve.

While float valve is up, contents of cooker are pressurized. Do not touch the float valve while the cooker is pressurized. Do not attempt to remove the lid while the cooker is pressurized.

Remove: Grip lid and press firmly against side of anti-block shield (pressing towards side of lid and up) until it pops off the prongs underneath.

Anti-block shield must be installed before use and cleaned frequently.

Install: Place anti-block shield over prongs and press down until it snaps into position.

Anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.

Remove: Pull steam release handle up and off steam release pipe.

Steam release handle must be installed before use, and cleaned frequently.

Install: Place steam release handle on steam release pipe and press down. Fits loosely when installed properly, but will remain in place when the lid is turned over.

Remove inner pot from cooker base and wash with hot water and dish soap before first use.

Wipe outer surfaces of inner pot and heating element to ensure they are dry and free of food debris. Failure to do so may damage the cooker.

Place inner pot into cooker base before cooking. Food must be placed only in the inner pot, not cooker base.

The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Always use an authorized Instant Pot® inner pot made for this model when cooking. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or property damage.

*Note: Always check inner pot for dents or deformations prior to cooking.

To avoid risk of personal injury and/or property damage, do not pour food or liquid into cooker base.

Do not fill the inner pot higher than the PC MAX — 2/3 line (Pressure Cooking Maximum), as indicated on the inner pot.
Exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc., as these foods may foam,  froth, or spatter, and may clog the steam release pipe and/or steam release valve. Do not fill the inner pot higher than the — 1/2 line when cooking these foods.

Install: On back of cooker base, align grooves on condensation collector over tabs and push condensation collector into place.

The condensation collector accumulates excess water and should be installed before cooking. Must be emptied and rinsed after use.
Remove: Pull condensation collector away from cooker base. Do not pull down on condensation collector.

Once cooking completes, there are 2 methods to release pressure:

Leave the steam release handle in the “Sealing” position. The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time.

This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains.
Note: Depressurization time will vary based upon volume of food and liquid.

May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.

Move steam release handle from “Sealing” to “Venting”.
A continuous stream of steam will release through the top of the steam release handle until the float valve drops into the lid.
Note: It will be loud!

If spatter occurs, move the steam release handle back to “Sealing”, and try again after a few minutes.
If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.

Float valve will drop when cooker has depressurized. Do not attempt to open the lid while the float valve is still popped up.

1. Add 3 cups (24 oz / 750 mL) water to inner pot.
2. Insert inner pot into cooker base.
3. 3 & 6 Quart: Secure power cord to base connection socket. Ensure connection is tight.
   Connect power cord to a 120V power source.
   Display indicates “OFF”.
4. Align on lid with on cooker base.
   Lower lid into track, then turn lid clockwise until jingle sounds.
5. Turn steam release handle to “Sealing” position.

FAQS

Can the Instant Pot be used for canning?

No. This is because you can not verify that the pressure remained consistent the entire time. For example, to can low-acid foods and meat you need to first determine your elevation. In the area on KS I live in over 2,000 ft above seal level. As such, I have to pressure can at 15 psi for the entire time the recipe calls for, and if the pressure drops below 15 psi the I have to start the time over once I get it back to 15 psi. If these guidelines are not followed, there is a significant risk that botulism spores are not destroyed. Home canning is both a science and an art, but do it wrong and you can kill someone.

Is it difficult to clean?

The cooking pot itself is stainless steel, and very easy to clean. There are two normal ways for your reference.
1. After cooking, you could place stainless steel inner pot in sink and fill with soapy water, then clean by hand last after cleaning up the kitchen, a simple swish swish with a clean sponge or brush is all it takes. This way will be more easier.
2. You could cook with at least 1/2 c water in it, preferably 2c. Then clean by hand after the water become cold.
3. Hint, if you do burn something on the bottom or get a sticky mess, you could soak inner pots with a couple tablespoons of baking soda and hot water over night will often lift whatever has been stuck. One can increase the amt of baking soda for a second soak if needed.
Hope our answer will help you.

Other than the capacity, are all the features on the 8Qt the same as the 6 Qt?

The features are the same, however, the actual cooking capacity of the 8 quart pot is 6.34 quarts (6 litres), and the pot actually says “Max” at the 6 litre line. It cannot be filled all the way up with food/liquid when you are cooking, per the manufacturer’s guidelines. So unfortunately, if you purchase the 6 quart pot, the actual cooking capacity would be even lower. I purchased the 8 quart, and was disappointed to find out that the actual cooking capacity is just a hair over 6 quarts. Hope this helps.

what is the psi ?

They state pounds per square inch because an electric pressure cooker can’t reach the same high/low pressures as a stove top model.
This brand gets about as high as you can get out of an affordable electric pressure cooker, many other brands are much, much lower. You need to compare these two values between models and brands.
One factor of pressure is the watts needed to heat it, your wall outlets have limits, just so much you can load the outlet with, other problem price vs what someone is willing to pay.
This pressure cooker has two watt models, go with the higher one if you can.
Understand, this psi problem will increase your cooking times slightly vs a stove top, the manual should tell you what percent to adjust the cook time by if doing it manually.
You most likely are talking about 1-2 minutes on a 15-20 minute recipe. What you are getting is a convenience trading off slightly longer cooking times and smaller capacity aka 6 quarts vs the average 8 quarts for a stove top.
Go to the company’s website, look for their FAQ, they are very straight forward about their pressure cookers, a lot of good information before you buy.

how much can the 3 Quart Hold? I am single and cooking for one..

We (2, plus occasional grown kids and small grandkids = 7) started with a 6 quart, and always had too many leftovers to want to eat the same thing every night for a week. Plus it took up a lot of counter space. We got a 3 quart and it’s great – not too intrusive on the countertop, and we cook plenty for the two of us and the occasional invasion of grown kids/grandkids, even leftovers, but we’re not drowning in leftovers now

Is it made in USA or other country?

The instant pot was designed by the Canadians but manufactured in the orient where another high end pressure cooker is manufactured in the same factory.

Is it worth the extra $40 just for yogurt?

If you asked my wife she would say absolutely. IP pot can take 1 gallon of milk and turn it into yogurt. I do Greek yogurt, which yields 2 qts. from 1 gallon after straining. Nothing you buy in the store comes close. NO additives, no extra sugar….. PLus I get 2 qts whey which we use as a substitute for milk or water in baking recipes. Just mad another batch this week. Cost: 1 gallon whole milk (on sale) $.98 plus 1 6 oz. container of Fage Greek yogurt as starter for $1. Result 2 qts beest ever Greek yogurt and 2 qts. whet. Whey out!! Pun inteneded.

Can it be used as a deep fryer?

Yes, but only if you get the optional glass lid. The pressure cooker lid will eventually gum up from the oil and explode, so you don’t want to do that.

What setting do you use on the mini instant pot when you don’t have a manuel setting?

The Manual setting has been renamed as “Pressure cook” in the newer versions.
When you see a recipe call for Manual selection, choose “Pressure cook” which is same thing.

Is there a way to keep the rice not sticking to the pot?

You would have o use more water than the 1:1 ratio listed in the Instant Pot recipe book. I personally use a 1.5:1 ratio of water to rice to have softer rice and I’ve also never had it stick then.

What is the longest time setting for making yogurt?

99 hours and 30 minutes, seems extreme, but that’s what I can set on my IP for yogurt. I usually let my yogurt incubate for 11 hours.

where is this made from

Instant Pot is designed by Canadians specifically for North American consumers. It is made in China by the No.1 electric pressure cooker manufacturer who has produced and sold over 30 million units for household use worldwide.

What is the highest temperature it will reach for the purpose of sterilizer using water?

In the user manual for the DUO80 8QT 7-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker (pretty much the same for all except the Elite new unit) etc….Working Temperature: 115°C – 118°C (239°F ~ 244°F)
Not sure if this answers your question. However, I suggest that you read the user manual as this information is contained within if not contained within the links supplied by IP for this kind of information. To get higher temperatures or more control over the temperature within the inner pot this will involve more detailed work and hence more costly Instant Pot that may not yet exist. Like any gadget the more you want of it the more you are going to have to pay for a more specific requirements..The Elite at just under 300.00 dollars will let you set inner pot temperatures I am not sure what the maximum temperature would be. It all depends what you want to sterilize, or how you will be using the IP…I use mine fore cooking only. I have an electric Ball pressure canner and even here you are limited. I do have a stove top cooker canner that has higher pressure level specific for low acid canning…the temperature and method of sterilization depends and what you want to sterilize and bacteria you want to destroy.

how do you release steam?

There is a toggle-type valve on the top of the pot to twist when it’s time to release the steam. It’s advisable to use the end of a wooden spoon or utensil to knock it so that you won’t release steam on to your fingers. Very easy and efficient. I have had to trouble doing it when it’s time to release steam.

Is the cooking pot stove top safe and oven safe ?

Yes it is safe to use on the stove top – except for induction. Yes oven safe. Yes dishwasher safe

can this cook fresh artichokes?

Absolutely. It can cook any vegetable… Just be careful not to overcook. Google some recipes that people have tried and they should tell exactly how long to do fresh artichokes!

Canning capability?

It holds 4 wide mouth canning jars with lids and pressure cooks.

Cooking Tips

Instant air fryer ovens cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks—fast!

• Use the preset Smart Programs as a starting point, and experiment with cooking times and temperatures to get the results you prefer.
• Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories must be placed in the oven before touching Start.
• With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods benefit greatly from a preheated oven. Wait for the display to read Add Food before inserting food into the cooking chamber.
• When cooking coated food items, choose breadcrumb batters over liquid-based batters to ensure that the batter sticks to the food.
• For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato  ticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then pat dry and spray with cooking oil before adding them to the air fryer oven.
• When baking cakes, pies, quiches, or any food with filling or batter, use an oven-safe baking dish and cover food with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent the top from overcooking.
• The drip pan doubles as a flat cooking tray. Use the drip pan when cooking fragile or filled food.
• When cooking pizza, insert both cooking trays into the oven and place the pizza on the bottom cooking tray.
• Pat moistened food items dry before cooking to prevent smoke, splatter, and excess steam.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and empty the drip pan periodically throughout cooking.
• To ensure seasoning adheres properly, spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning.
• All oven-safe cookware is safe to use in the air fryer oven.

Quick Start Guide

Get your Instant Pot out of the box

Click here to download the ‘what’s in the box guide’ to see everything that is included with your Instant Pot Duo.
You can also download the full product manual here.

Do the “Water Test” (Initial Test Run)

This will help you become familiar with how your Instant Pot works and ensure the cooker is operating correctly. You can find the details of this in the Getting Started Guide that comes with your Instant Pot.

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 Evo Plus 60 (5.7L) is 375m1 and Duo Evo Plus 80 (7.6L) 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.

Cook your first recipe

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS, AND WARNINGS, AS WELL AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE BEFORE OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
2. Always use an Instant Pot  ® stainless steel inner pot of the appropriate size when using the air fryer lid. The Duo Crisp ™  is only compatible with the stainless-steel inner pot. DO NOT use the cooker with the non-stick, ceramic-coated inner pot.
   Failure to follow these instructions may lead to the sudden release of contents and may cause burns or other injuries and/or damage.
3. Use the Duo Crisp pressure cooker lid or the Duo Crisp air fryer lid with the Duo Crisp cooker base. Using any other lids may cause injury and/or damage.
4. Do not let children near the appliance when in use. Children should not play with the appliance.
5. Do not put the appliance into a heated oven or on any heated surface.
6. Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven. The heat from an external source will damage the appliance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or property damage.
7. Do not tamper with any of the safety mechanisms as this may result in injury or property damage.
8.  Do not move the appliance while it is under pressure.
9. Do not use the appliance for a purpose other than that for which it is intended.
10. This appliance cooks under pressure. Scalds may result from inappropriate use of the pressure cooker. Make sure that the cooker is properly closed before applying heat.  Refer to the Getting Started Guide.
11. Never force open the pressure cooker. Do not open before making sure that its internal pressure has completely dropped. Refer to the Getting Started Guide.
12. Use the appropriate heat source(s) according to the Getting Started Guide.
13. Never use the pressure cooker without adding water, as this would seriously damage it.
14. Do not fill the inner pot beyond —2/3 of its capacity as indicated on the inner pot. When cooking foodstuffs that expand during cooking, such as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the cooker to more than —1/2 of its capacity as indicated on the inner pot.
15. After cooking meat with a skin (such as ox tongue), which may swell under the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen as you may be scalded.
16. The heating element surface inside the Instant Pot® cooker base is subject to residual heat after use; do not touch it.
17.  Before each use, check that the valves, the steam release pipe, and the anti-block shield are not obstructed. Refer to the Getting Started Guide.
18. Never use the pressure cooker in its pressurized mode for deep or shallow frying of food.
19. Do not tamper with any of the safety systems beyond the maintenance instructions specified in the instructions for use.
20. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged lead or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way. If the power supply lead is damaged, users should contact Customer Care for further assistance.
21. For domestic use only. Not intended for commercial or outdoor use.

26. Be aware that certain foods such as stewed apples, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb or spaghetti can foam, froth and clog the steam release. These foods should not be cooked under pressure cooking settings unless as directed in authorized Instant Pot® recipes.
27. Spilled food can cause serious burns. A short power-supply lead is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from grabbing, entanglement and tripping.
    • Keep the appliance and lead away from children.
    • Never drape the power lead over edges of tables or counters.

36.  Avoid contact with moving parts. Failure to do so may result in injury.
37. When using the air fryer lid, do not overfill the air fry basket. Overfilling may cause food to contact the heating element, which may result in fire and/or personal injury.

    • Always use proper hand protection when removing accessories, and when handling the inner pot.
    • Always place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or cooking plate.
    • Only place the air fryer lid on the protective pad provided; do not place it on the countertop.
    • Use extreme caution when disposing of hot grease.
    Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
39. While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches several hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature.
40. CAUTION When the air fryer lid is in operation, hot air is released through the air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or property damage.
41. Should the unit emit black smoke when using the air fryer lid, press Cancel and unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before removing the lid,  then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to “Troubleshooting”.
