Smart Programmes: Non Air Frying
Whether you are a novice cook or a culinary expert, the Duo Crisp + Air Fryer
provides Smart Programmes to get you cooking —fast!
All oven-safe cookware is safe for use in the inner pot, and the included air frying
accessories feature multiple levels to suit your cooking needs.
Always inspect your Instant Pot pressure cooking lid, inner pot and cooker base
carefully to ensure they are clean and in good working condition before use.
Pressure Cook and Steam
The Pressure Cook and Steam Smart Programmes are pressure cooking
Programmes. Using pressurised steam ensures your dish is cooked evenly and
deeply, for predictably delicious results every time.
The Duo Crisp features 2 pressure levels to choose from:
Pressure Level
Suggested Use
Lo (Low) 5.8–7.2 psi
Fish and seafood,
(35–55 kPa)
soft vegetables, rice
Eggs, meat, poultry, roots and
Hi (High) 10.2–11.6 psi
other hard vegetables, oats, beans,
(65–85 kPa)
grains, bone broth, chili
Because the pressure level controls the temperature, a higher pressure results
in a higher cooking temperature.
Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or juice.
If using tinned, condensed or cream-based soup, add water as directed below.
Instant
Tip: Using the multi-functional rack will ensure your food items
are steamed and not boiled. This ensures even heat distribution, prevents
nutrients from leeching into the cooking liquid, and stops food items from
scorching on the bottom of the inner pot.
