That is the joy of pressure cooking. Quick and tender. Follow some good recipes with cooking times until you get the hang of it. Lots of good Forums out there.

we just got one and failed terribly, that being said, how do you folks determine when food is done since you can't see and or take a temperature, my unit spends more time pressurising and depressuring then actually cooking?


Depending if the contents are cold and the quantity will determine the time to reach the timing countdown pressure.

To depressure just flip the vent it usually takes only a minute (60 full seconds).

Depending on what you are cooking if it's not on the preset buttons the time and pressure can be adjusted - you cook by time and pressure not visual and temperature. What were you cooking in the Instant Pot that "failed terribly"? How long did you cook it and did you adjust the pressure?

I think the combo units come with a pressure cooking top, and an air fry top. Just what I’ve seen, but I wouldn’t get one. I didn’t realize there was an Insta-Pot and an Instant Pot brand. I’ll need to do more research before getting one. But I do know enough to look for a SS pot. Thanks.

Charts like this one are very handy.

Some foods, like chicken, can be put in frozen. This chart show time to add ...if frozen. I do everything on "manual" instead of using the presets.
