Instant Pot cooking times (high pressure & QR)

High pressure cooking times for many ingredients!

Net als bij conventioneel koken, zit koken met de Instant Pot vol met persoonlijke keuzes, creativiteit, veel wetenschap en experimenten. Geen twee mensen zouden precies dezelfde smaken, voorkeuren voor malsheid en textuur van voedsel hebben. De kooktijdgrafiek in dit receptenboekje is bedoeld als referentie. De gebruiker wordt aangemoedigd om te experimenteren en uw eigen tijdsinstelling te vinden voor het beste resultaat naar eigen wens van de gebruiker.

There are other factors that can affect cooking time. Different cuts of meat and different types of rice may require different cooking times to achieve the same tenderness or texture.

When preparing frozen food, there is no need to defrost it in the microwave first. However, frozen food will increase the preheating and cooking time by several minutes depending on the amount of food.

All timings here are based on a cooking pressure range of 12 psi (+0.83 bar) using the "High Pressure" setting and Quick Release (QR).
