Setup

Before using your Cook/Bake Set, ensure your Instant Pot cooker is clean and ready for use. Always add the minimum required liquid (usually 1-2 cups of water) to the inner pot of your Instant Pot before placing any accessories for pressure cooking or steaming.

Assembling the Egg Racks

The set includes upper and lower wire egg racks. These can be used individually or stacked to accommodate more eggs. Simply place the lower rack into the Instant Pot's inner pot, then place eggs into the designated slots. If stacking, place the upper rack on top of the lower rack and add more eggs.

Preparing the Pans

For the stainless steel round pan with a removable base, ensure the silicone ring is properly seated to prevent leaks. The removable divider can be inserted into the solid bottom pan to separate different food items during cooking.

Operating Instructions

Pot-in-Pot Cooking (PIP)

The stainless steel pans are ideal for pot-in-pot cooking. Place your ingredients into the pans, cover with the silicone lids, and then place the pans onto the wire racks or a trivet inside the Instant Pot's inner pot. Ensure there is sufficient water in the main inner pot for steaming.
