Product Manuals

Q: So on a lot of recipes I’ve found it says turn you’re instant pot to high pressure... this doesn’t have that option So what is the equivalent on this one to the actual instant pot

A: I use the bean setting for high pressure and adjust the time accordingly.

Q: How does this product compare to an instant pot?

A: The instant pot is a better quality product. I have both but the insignia did not last even 30 days. Returned and bought another instant pot.

Q: Every recipe I find says cook on "high" for 5 minutes...there is no manual setting on this. Does anyone know which setting would be equivalent to high? or where I can find this information? Manual is definitely worthless!

A: I use the Bean setting for High.

Q: I have a recipe that says “press Manuel pressure 6 min”. What setting would I use on this?

A: Use the beans/lentils option and manually adjust your time.

Q: The Question : How can it be called a PRESSURE cooker without pressure If you put a heavy lid on any pan there is a small amount of pressure. Pressure make it able to raise the temperature by increasing the boiling point of water. ?

A: Pressure is created by boiling a liquid inside the cooker. The trapped steam increases the pressure and allows the temperature to rise.

Q: How can it be called a PRESSURE cooker without pressure If you put a heavy lid on any pan there is a small amount of pressure. Pressure make it able to raise the temperature by increasing the boiling point of water. ? can you can meat with it 15psi?

A: Bean Chili is a pressure cooker mode. I'm not sure about the other buttons as the instruction manual doesn't define any of the button functions. Very, very few pressure cookers get up to 15psi. This one probably gets between 9 and 12psi, but we'll never know because the instruction manual doesn't state this.

Q: it says stainless steel, but in specifications under Materials, it says "other". I want to know, what is the material used in the pot that will be touching the food?

A: The pot that the food goes into is stainless steel, I'm guessing the "other" is talking about other components on it, which seem to be plastic.

Q: where can I buy inner removrable cooking pot?

A: Best Buy sells these online and some of the bigger BB stores have them in stock.

Great Pressure Cooker
This happened to be a BestBuy Sale of the day, and I nabbed it for 39.99. My dad hopped on the bandwagon and nailed him one too. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star rating is because the manual is quote confusing if you have never has experience with a pressure cooker and I have not. I did go to pinterest and Google some recipes and play around with the settings. Some of the buttons like rice, saute, have preset time limits and they only go through certain numbers. In order to cook something for exactly 4 minutes, I pushed the saute button and made it go down to 4 minutes. It was an experiment, to see if it worked . The directions do say not to make macaroni and cheese in this, but I did and it worked just fine. It cooked fresh mac n cheese in 4 minutes. It made chicken and rice in less than 8 minutes. It is a learning curve to use one, but once you get used to it, you will wonder how in the world did you live without it!

Good Value for a Pressure Cooker
It has the perfect size for me (6 quarts). It works well with both soups and also meat dishes like pot roast. I like the safety features especially since once it reaches pressure, you don't hear it whistling or rattling. The reason I won't give it 5 stars is the instructions need to be written better. I kept pressing the preset button which means you are setting the time the unit turns off and that you need to click one of the meal presets and wait till the time shows up so you can adjust the cook time until I experimented.

Make Meals in MINUTES!
I used a pressure cooker once at work and I was hooked. It steamed carrots in about 4 minutes. It's very easy to make any meal in this pressure cooker. The one thing I didn't like is that there's no preset button for meats. I first used the chili button for chicken per recommendation in the manual and the meat was overcooked and dry. I think it's best to use the Saute button for chicken and maybe for beef as well. You can use that with the lid off or lock it to steam it a bit. Because of that there's a bit of a learning curve but a little trial and error and it's very easy to make any meal. Vegetables are the easiest; steam them in about 3-5 minutes. I have many more meals to try in this thing but so far so good!
