Q: Why is pressure cooking considered more energy-efficient?
A: Instant Pot appliances, like this one, use up to 60% less energy than traditional electric ovens, making them a more energy-efficient cooking method.
Q: Does it cook all kinds of rice?? What is the minimum amount of rice it will cook?
A: The manual says that it needs to have 2 cups of water to have the pressure properly built up during cooking. In general, if you cook white rice, that means you need to cook at least 2 cups of rice. Brown rice needs more water and time to cook. The brown rice to water ratio is 1:2. I adjusted the ratio 1:1.75. It comes out with the texture I like and the water amount of 1.75 cups does not cause any problem.
Q: I am cooking in the pressure cooker what must I do to close it
A: Once you latch the lid, turn to lock. Start your heating sequence...the heat and pressure will activate and lock the cooker. Make sure you have at least 1 cup of liquid in the pot to generate steam.
A: Maybe try a pot liner...my buddy uses them all the time. Rice doesn't usually stick and clean up is easier.
