What is the difference between Natural Pressure and Quick Release?
Instant Pot User Manual Duo Plus 60 9-in 1 Cooking
Natural Release: Allows the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 40 minutes, or even longer, depending on the amount of food in the cooker. Place a wet towel on the lid to speed up the cooling process (Note: Do not cover the steam release valve). Once the cooking process is completed, turn OFF the Keep Warm mode if it is ON.
Quick Release: Turn the steam release handle to the venting position to let steam out until the float valve drops. Never pull out the steam release handle while it is releasing steam as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause scalds. For food with large liquid volume or starch content, use the Natural Release as thick liquid may splatter out.
How do I know if I should use Natural or Quick Release?
Start by referring to the recipe. The Quick Release method is used for delicate dishes such as custards and fresh vegetables and the Natural Release method is used for meats, soups and grains.
How do I know when it is Safe to open the lid?
Start by pressing ‘Cancel’. The LCD will display OFF. Before opening the lid, make sure the float valve has dropped. Do not open the lid if the float valve has not dropped. Do not open the lid if it is locked and cannot be opened. Do not force the lid open at any time.
Note: When opening the lid, the inner pot may adhere to the lid. This is caused by vacuum due to cooling. To release the vacuum, move the stream release handle to the Venting position.
What do I do if the Float Valve is stuck?
Move the Steam Release valve to the Venting position. Once all the steam is released, push the float valve down with a pen or long stick.
How much liquid is required in the inner pot for pressure-cooking?
For pressure-cooking always add at least 1.5 – 2.5 cups / 355 – 473 ml (depending on quart size) of water or other liquids with a thin, watery consistency so enough steam can be generated to cook under pressure. These liquids include cooking sauces, wine, beer, and stocks.
Note: Oils and oil-based sauces do not have sufficient water content and do not account for the required liquid volume.
Are the Instant Pot® Sealing RingsSafe?
The Instant Pot® sealing rings pass UL, FDA and LFGB tests for safety, including food safety. The Instant Pot® sealing ring is an integral part of the Instant Pot® safety features. The sealing rings have been designed, engineered, and built with the optimal material to achieve the hardness and strength required to withstand high-pressure force during electric pressure-cooking.
How do I remove the foododor from the Sealing Ring?
The Instant Pot® sealing ring is made from food grade silicone. Silicone may pick up food odors during cooking. To remove the odor, try the following:
- Steam Clean: add 2 cups of water or white vinegar and cut-up lemon rind, run the Steam program for 2 minutes with the sealing ring in position. Then, allow the sealing ring to air dry.
- Place the sealing ring in the dishwasher. High temperature and strong detergent will usually remove the majority of smells.
- Soak the sealing ring overnight in white vinegar, lemon juice, tomato juice, or bleach. Then, run it through the dishwasher.
- Store the sealing ring in a plastic bag with ground coffee or baking soda.
Or, you may wish to have one sealing ring for savory and another for sweet foods.
How often should the Sealing Ring be cleaned?
It is not necessary to remove the sealing ring after each use. One should remove the sealing ring and clean the sealing ring following every 5-6 uses or if any food that splatters was prepared.
How often should the Sealing Ring be replaced?
The sealing ring is made from food grade silicone and is extremely durable. Under normal conditions it should be fine for 18 – 24 months. If you notice cracks, leaking or deformation in the sealing ring, it should be replaced. However, the sealing ring is porous and may absorb odors and become discolored. To avoid discoloration and odors, one may wish to change the sealing ring every 6 – 12 months.
Can I use another brand of Sealing Ring?
Unapproved and unauthorized sealing rings are not manufactured, tested or certified by Instant Pot®; as such, we are unable to confirm if they meet Instant Pot’s established standards. The use of third party sealing rings may have unexpected effects on your cooker, and will void the Instant Pot® warranty. Instant Pot® recommends only using Instant Pot® branded sealing rings.
Is the Instant Pot® Dish Washer Safe?
The inner pot, the lid, the sealing ring and the stream rack are dishwasher safe. Or, one may wash by hand with detergent. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
For the lid, remove the sealing ring and anti-block shield from the underside and wash with warm, soapy water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
How do I clean the inside of the cooker?
Wipe the inner cooker base rim and dry with a cloth to prevent rusting of the exterior cooker rim. Clean the outer body with a damp soft cloth or sponge.
Note: Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of the parts or components.
How do I return to the cooker’s default settings?
To return to the factory default setting for a specific cooking program, return the cooker to ‘Standby’ mode displaying OFF; then, press and hold the cooking program key until the cooker beeps.
For a full reset of all cooking programs and system settings, return the cooker to standby mode displaying OFF, then press and hold the Cancel key until the cooker beeps.
Can I place the Instant Pot® on the stovetop while a burner is in use and/or close to a Heat source?
Do not place the cooker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated-oven, as this will damage the cooker.
Note: Intended for countertop use only.
Why is there an occasional clicking sound when using my Instant Pot®?
The clicking/cracking sounds in the Instant Pot® comes from the following possible sources:
- Water or moisture on the bottom of the inner pot
- Instant Pot® power switch turning on and off during operation
- Friction between the lid and the housing created by expansion and contraction due to changing internal pressure and temperature
- The flat flexible pressure board under the heating element bending under pressure (the board is designed to last over 100,000 uses)
- Food such as dry beans popping open during cooking
Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 9 In 1
Why is there water on the groove of the cooker housing top?
It is normal to have some condensation of water in the groove on the top of the cooker, especially during the cooling down period.
If you have an excessive amount of water in the groove, there are two possibilities:
- The sealing ring has not been installed properly
- The sealing ring requires replacement
Prior to proceeding, inspect your sealing ring.
What Does Ov Ht refer to?
Instant Pot® is built with a burn-protection mechanism. When a high temperature 140C/ 284F) is detected on the bottom of the inner pot, the burn-protection mechanism suspends heating to avoid food burning.
The only exception to the burn-protection mechanism is with food that has a very high starch content. For instance, if you add flour in your chili, the flour will sink to the bottom, solidifies at low temperatures and can block heat dissipation. In this situation, we suggest you add flour to the chili after initial cooking and perhaps cooking it for an additional one to five minutes to allow thickening of the chili.
Are there any Foods that one must be cautious of or cannot be prepared in the Instant Pot®?
Yes, we recommend caution with foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, pasta and rhubarb as they can foam, froth or sputter and can clog the steam release valve. When preparing these types of food the inner pot should not be more than ½ full.
Note: Make sure the Steam Release Valve, Float Valve and Anti-Block Shield are clean and free from debris.
Can one Deep Fry in the Instant Pot®?
One cannot deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker with oil.
Can one do Canning with Instant Pot®?
There are two types of canning: boiling-water canning at 100°C/212°F (for acid fruits, tomatoes, pickles and jellied products) and pressure canning at 115~121°C/240~250°F (for low acid vegetables, meat and poultry). Please refer to “USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning” for more details.
Instant Pot® can be used for boiling-water canning. The Instant Pot® current product line is regulated by a pressure sensor instead of a thermometer; the altitude of your location may affect the actual cooking temperature. We recommend to not use Instant Pot® for pressure canning.
What accessories are included with the Duo Plus?
Accessories include – stainless steel (18/8) steam rack with handles to lower and lift food, condensation collector, rice paddle, soup spoon, and measuring cup.
What accessories are recommended for use with Instant Pot®?
Instant Pot® recommends to only cook in the Instant Pot® stainless steel or ceramic non-stick inner pots for best results. Other brands may not have the correct curvature to match the heating element. Accessories and parts not branded Instant Pot® or recommended by Instant Pot® may cause the cooker to malfunction.

Comments
The Instant Pot company recently released two new Instant Pots and they sent me them to review! Today I’m excited to introduce to you the first of the two, the new Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 – 6 quart Electric Pressure Cooker. Here’s my Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 Review:
The Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 is a 9 in 1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker with Advanced Microprocessor Technology and a Stainless Steel Cooking Pot. It is a Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice/Porridge Cooker, Cake Maker (New), Yogurt Maker, Sautér/Searer, Steamer, Warmer, and Sterilizer (New).
What’s New?
- A Pressure Cook button instead of a Manual button. The most important function of the Instant Pot has always been pressure cooking, but people have said to me, I don’t have a pressure cooker, I have an Instant Pot. The new Duo Plus clears up any confusion there may have been about whether or not the Instant Pot is a pressure cooker. With the addition of a pressure cook button instead of the manual button, it’s clear that the Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker. I can’t tell you how much I love this change!They’ve also changed the Timer button to a Delay Start button, which should end the confusion about that button as well.
- A Great New User Manual. The manual on previous Instant Pot models was often criticized for not being clear and easy to understand. The new manual is a huge improvement. It’s well designed and easy to understand and use. You can find the manual online and much of it applies to all Instant Pots.
- A New Trivet with curves in the handles. The curves make it easier to grab the trivet / rack handles and remove it from the pot.
- Updated Display. The Plus has a new blue LCD display that lets you adjust the cooking settings and pressure levels at any time during the cooking process. There are 4 new icons to enable you to easily see the status of the cooker, Heat, Pressure Cook, Keep Warm and Sound. The ‘Heat’ indicates heating or cooking in progress, ‘Pressure Cook’ indicates the pressure cook program is selected, ‘Keep Warm’ indicates if it is ON/OFF, and ‘Sound’ indicates if the sound is ON/OFF.
- Easier to Read Markings on the inner pot so it’s easier to tell how full your pot is, so you don’t over fill it. There’s also an Instant Pot label on the pot. If you have more than one pressure cooker, it’s nice that it’s labeled so now you can easily tell which one to use in your Instant Pot.
15 Smart Built-In Programs
- Soup/Broth
- Meat/Stew
- Bean/Chilli
- Cake – The new Cake program is programed for frequently used times for cakes, like cheesecake!
- Egg – The new Egg program is programed with frequently used times for perfect hard boiled eggs.
- Slow Cook
- Sauté/Searing
- Rice
- Multigrain
- Porridge
- Steam
- Sterilize – The new Sterilize program can be used to pasteurize dairy products, sterilize baby bottles, jars, and utensils.
- Yogurt
- Keep Warm
- Pressure Cook – replaces the Manual button.
