Instant Pot — Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Instant Pot worth buying?
Yes — an Instant Pot saves time, space and effort, making it ideal for busy households and consistent home cooking.
Why choose an Instant Pot over a regular pressure cooker?
The Instant Pot offers extra functions like sauté and slow cook, plus precise controls and built-in safety features not found on basic stovetop models.
Why are Instant Pots so popular?
Instant Pots are popular for their convenience, versatility and reliable results — they speed up cooking while saving bench space.
Which Instant Pot size or model is best for me?
Smaller Instant Pots suit singles or couples; 6 L or 8 L models are better for families. Pick features you’ll use, such as air fry or sous-vide.
Why should I do a water test before using my Instant Pot?
A quick water test confirms the Instant Pot seals, heats and reaches pressure correctly before you cook food in it.
How much liquid should I add to my Instant Pot?
Use at least one cup of liquid and never fill past the MAX line; proper liquid prevents burn warnings and allows pressure to form.
What does the “BURN” message mean on my Instant Pot?
“BURN” usually means food is sticking or liquid is too low. Stop, scrape or stir the base, add a little liquid, then retry the cycle.
What’s the difference between Quick Release and Natural Release on an Instant Pot?
Quick Release vents steam immediately for fast results; Natural Release lets pressure drop slowly, which is better for meats and stews.
Can I cook anything in an Instant Pot?
Most dishes work well, but avoid deep frying, home canning and very foamy foods that might clog the steam vent.
How do I clean and remove smells from my Instant Pot?
Wash removable parts with warm soapy water; soak the sealing ring in baking-soda water to remove odours or keep a spare for strong smells.
Can I open my Instant Pot lid right after cooking?
No — wait until the float valve drops and steam has released. The lid will remain locked while the Instant Pot is pressurised.
Is the Instant Pot safe to use?
Yes — Instant Pots include safety features like lid locks, temperature sensors and overheat protection for safer cooking than many stovetop alternatives.
Will a U.S. Instant Pot work in New Zealand?
No — U.S. models are typically 110 V while New Zealand uses 230–240 V. Buy a local or 240 V-compatible Instant Pot for safety and warranty support.
What Instant Pot accessories are useful?
Useful accessories include trivets, steamer baskets, glass lids and spare sealing rings — handy for multi-layer cooking and reducing odour transfer.
