How much liquid do you need to add? Generally, you need to add at least 1 cup of liquid to the pot in order to generate the steam necessary for pressure cooking. Even preference can play a role here!

You can use “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” to cook almost any type of food in your Instant Pot, as long as you know a few basic pieces of information… (I almost always use High pressure, but it never hurts to have options!) -) Older Instant Pots have the “Manual” button, but Instant Pot changed this button to “Pressure Cook” on newer models (even though they do the same thing.) Using this setting, you have control over a number of settings that you wouldn’t be able to adjust using the other program buttons, such as setting the cooking time and adjusting the pressure level.

While most Instant Pot models offer a dizzying variety of preset cooking programs, all those buttons can be a little intimidating! I always suggest sticking to using the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” option to begin with, because it’s the best way to master the fundamentals (in my humble opinion, at least!)
