FAQs
Can the instant pot brown meat? Yes, it can! Simply press the sauté button, add a little oil, and brown the meat as you would on the stove. It’s great because browning beef before pressure cooking adds extra flavor. Plus, you only dirty one pot!
Does meat need to be covered with liquid in the instant pot? Not necessarily. In general, you need about 1 cup of liquid for the 6-quart model of the instant pot and 1 1/2 cups for the 8-quart. Your meat does not need to be covered. In fact, it does not need to be touching the liquid at all. Some recipes call for liquid in the bottom and the meat in a trivet above.
How do I defrost ground beef in the instant pot?
- Place 1 cup of water in the instant pot.
- Add the trivet and place your frozen meat on top.
- Close the lid and set the pressure release valve to sealing.
- Press the manual or pressure cook button and set it to 15 minutes.
- Natural pressure release.
- Drain the water and remove the meat.
- Now, you can brown the meat directly in the instant pot, or use it for another recipe.
