Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Instant Pot safe?

This is a basic question, but it is asked more times than any other question. It’s easy to be fearful of a machine that builds pressure and can cause injury. However, there is nothing to worry about if you use the Instant Pot properly.

Is the Instant Pot dishwasher safe?

Yes, most parts of the Instant Pot are dishwasher safe. Apart from the Instant Pot’s base, you can pop all parts of it into your handy dishwasher.
Just note that certain parts are suitable for placement on the top rack and others are better suited to the bottom rack. 

Can I double a recipe in the Instant Pot?

Some recipes can be doubled in the Instant Pot, while others cannot. The general rule is that you can only double a recipe if the ingredients don’t exceed the Instant Pot’s max line. If the recipe you’re working from is small, you can usually double it without issue. However, if you’re making soup and to double it would be very close to the max fill line, you should err on the side of caution and only add 50% more.
