How to Sauté in Instant Pot (and how to use the other function buttons)
I usually use the sauté feature as a first step when preparing soups, stews and casseroles in the instant pot. I turn it on to heat up the pot and sauté my onions and garlic first in most recipes. I also use it to sear meat in recipes that have searing meat as a first step like beef stew.
Instant Pot 10 Quart
Although the Instant brand has discontinued their 10 quart Instant Pot model, other manufacturers like Crock Pot and GoWise USA offer 10 quart electric pressure cooker models as shown in this article.
Instant Pot Liner
What is an Instant Pot Liner?
The instant pot is not able to utilize plastic liners for easy cleanup like a crock pot liner.
The instant pot liners that are referenced in many articles is actually the inner pot of the instant pot. This is the removable pot that you cook in and can pull out and clean when you are done cooking.
Instant Pot Trivet
An Instant Pot trivet is a stand with three legs that fits inside your pressure cooker. It can be made of stainless steel or silicone and usually has handles on top for easy removal. The handles are especially helpful if you’re cooking something heavy like a roast or a large piece of fish and need to lift it out quickly and easily. The trivet also helps keep food off the bottom of the pot, which prevents sticking and the burn error and makes clean-up easier.
