Step 1

Add Water: Put inner pot in Instant Pot, then pour 2 cups (500ml) of cold water in the inner pot.

Step 2

Close Lid: Make sure the silicone sealing ring is properly seated in the rack, and nothing is blocking the Venting Knob & Floating Valve. Close the lid by lining the two arrows, then turn clockwise.

Step 3

Seal Instant Pot: Turn Venting Knob from Venting Position to Sealing Position.

Step 4

Set Pressure Cooking Time: Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button. Press the “-“ button until the indicator says “2”. The default setting should be at "High Pressure".*Note: This means we’re pressure cooking at High Pressure for 2 minutes.*Pro Tip: It's normal for some steam to come out of the floating valve during the preheating cycle. Once there's enough steam in Instant Pot, the floating valve will pop up. It takes roughly 13 minutes to reach High Pressure.

Step 5

Release Pressure: After pressure cooking for 2 minutes, your Instant Pot will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” mode. Press "Cancel” to turn it off. Carefully release the pressure by turning the Venting Knob from Sealing Position to Venting Position.

Step 6

Open Lid: Turn the lid counter-clockwise, then carefully lift it open. You did it!
