Printable Instant Pot Guide
I’m gifting an Instant Pot to my mother-in-law this Christmas. Although she cooks and bakes a lot and has for many years I’m 100% confident that the Instant Pot will stay in the box because she won’t know where to start. She doesn’t use the internet much and I can say for sure she won’t be looking at YouTube for suggestions on how to get started.
That’s why I’m going to print off this little guide that I created and wrap it up with the Instant Pot box. I’m making it as simple as I can so that she won’t feel intimidated and will be able to get started immediately.
I’m sure this will be helpful to some of you as well. That’s why I’m sharing it on my website for free! My only ask is that you let your loved ones know about my website and have them sign up for my recipe emails.

What Pressure Cooker Do You Use?
I use a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Hi, first time to find you. So many compliments, congrats. Also just starting to use instant pot. Would love to have your guild, possibly to email to me? Thank you and take care.
You can download it directly from this blog post. Did you see that?
This may not be the right place for this question, but I need help and can’t find anywhere else to ask! 🙂 2.5 pound pork tenderloin. Sauteed it on each side for 3 minutes. Removed, put in chicken broth, deglazed, added lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pressure Cook, on high, for 6 minutes. Let it naturally release for 10. Instant read thermometer said 70 degrees. What am I doing wrong 🙁
whoa! That is crazy! I would maybe cut it in half next time. I am not sure because when I did a pork tenderloin it worked great.
Karen, I keep reading over again and again what Carol said about the pork tenderloin and the timing. Where she says: 70 that is 70 degrees, wasn’t mistaken for the cook time. I hope. Where her cook time was 6 min. Hmmmmm! Maybe I’m confused. It would take longer that 6 min. right? Please clarify for me too. Thanks again!
It really cooks in 6 minutes after it is browned. It’s such a lean piece of meat so it cooks fast plus it is cut in half so that helps.
Did you remember to close the valve so it wasn’t venting?
Hi, Karen. I’ve had my IP Lux for a couple of years and love it (though, I’m tempted by some of the newer models with the convenience of hinging the lid). This Christmas, we gave our son and his wife an IP. Would you please send me a PDF so I could print out the guide for them? Thanks so much!
Hi Julie, I just put the pdf version in this post so you can download it. Enjoy!
I find your recipes to be very helpful !!! The book that comes with the instant pot is really not very helpful.
But I have questions about the pressure that you should use on brown rice and also chicken. Is there a rule of thumb ?
Thank you for your very informative guide !
I always use high pressure
Merry Christmas!!
How can i get a pdf of the guide
Thank you
I will email you one!
Hi Karen
This is so helpful. I love all your recipes. They are so easy & flavorful!
Thank you & Merry Christmas.
So happy to help! Thanks Rosemary!
Every time I try to save this document a request for an app covers part of the info. Even after I have removed it. So annoying. I like your site but I hate pop ups, especially when I cannot get rid of them.
Email me and I’ll send you a pdf of the document karen@365daysofcrockpot.com
Hi Karen, thank you for being so thoughtful and kind. Your IP Guide will be so
helpful . Merry Christmas and happy new year
Ann
Thanks so much Ann!!
Wondering how you print off this free printable guide. When I click on it, it says “view only.”
You can right click and it will give you an option to print 🙂
Karen, thank you so much for this guide. I actually have two instant pots still in their boxes, a 3 and a 6 qt. (Hanging my head a little here). I have printed the guide out and am going to read it when I take a break from my candy making today. I subscribe to your blog and have two folders on my computer for your recipes, one for the slow cooker and one for the Instant Pot. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Good for you!!! You will love it once you get going 🙂
I have 3 sets of friends who “think they already know everything about their InstantPot” and how to cook in it. This is a great quick reference guide for friends like this!!!! I’ve sent it to all three!!! Thank you!!!!
You’re awesome Tina!!!
