Pay attention to common mistakes made by people
If you're just starting out cooking with an Instant Pot, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, make sure you don't fill the pot to more than half full. If you use the pressure cooker, liquids from expanded foods can accumulate in the venting handle, leading to excessive pressure and mess. Be aware of how long it takes for pressure to build so you can avoid making this mistake.
Find out the size of your Instant Pot
Knowing the capacity is crucial in choosing an Instant Pot. There are many sizes available. Some range from 3 to 8, while others can hold up to 10 quarts. The 10 quart Instantpot is the largest. It is a great choice for large meals, or to feed a large group. Look for the sticker on the lid of the pot that indicates the size. The size will depend on how many people you intend to feed, but you can always adjust the recipe accordingly.
Learn about pressure release methods
You should be familiar with the various pressure release methods available for Instant Pots so that you can choose which one is right for you. Quick pressure release, also called manual release or Steam release, releases pressure quickly. This method works best for delicate ingredients, like chicken breasts. These should be kept in the pressure cooker until they have been cooked through. Slow release takes longer and is better for long cooking times.
Cooking dairy-based meals in the Instant Pot
You may have tried to make a dairy free dish in an Instant Cooker, but it is difficult. Although you might be tempted by the idea of using butter and oil, this is not a good idea. The right amount of oil and butter can help your meal come out creamy and delicious. Here are some helpful tips for using your Instant Pot to prepare dairy-free meals. You can save time by using the saute function. You can saute potatoes and not add butter to the dish.
Ventilate your Instant Pot
Properly vent your Instant Pot after you have finished cooking. Cover the lid while cooking. Food residues can stick to the vent and cause it to become stuck. Do not open the lid of your Instant Pot until all the pressure has been released. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions regarding how to vent your Instant Pot. After the vent is clear, you may remove the lid.

How to make the perfect omelet
Omelets is one of my favourite breakfast foods. But how do you make them perfectly? Many different recipes and methods have failed to work for me. I have some tips and tricks to help you make delicious, fluffy omelets every single morning.
First, eggs can be very temperamental ingredients for making omelets. It is important that eggs are fresh from an organic market and kept cool until used. You must keep them cool enough to allow the whites to form properly and the yolks to become too runny if they're not kept at the right temperature. Your omelets will look strangely colored if this happens. It is best to use room-temperature eggs if you are going to cook them right away.
You might also try separating the egg before adding to the pan. You don't want any white to get mixed up with the yolk because this could cause the omelet to curdle.
If you add the egg directly onto the stovetop, you might end up burning the bottom part of the egg, which would ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, put the egg in the microwave for 10 seconds before putting it into the pan. The heat from the microwave cooks the egg just enough without overcooking it.
Next, let's talk about mixing the eggs. When mixing eggs, it is important to thoroughly beat them. To do this, grab the bowl of the mixer and turn it upside down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. This allows the air to be whipped and the egg to be mixed thoroughly.
Now it's time to have fun: pour the milk into the mixture. The first step is to pour half of the milk in the beaten eggs. Next, fold the eggs into the remaining milk. Don't worry if there are still streaks of egg visible; these streaks will disappear once you flip the omelet.
After you have done folding the eggs, heat the pan on medium heat. The oil will start to smoke. Once the oil begins to heat, add 1/4 cup butter and swirl the pan to coat it. The lid should be carefully opened. Sprinkle salt in the pan. Salt will prevent the omelet sticking to the pan.
Once the omelet forms, cover the pan again. Let the top side set completely. Flip the omelet over using a spatula or flip the pan upside down. Cook the second side for a minute or so. Serve immediately after removing the omelet from its pan.
This recipe is best made with whole milk. However, it can also be used with skimmed milk.
