What can I cook in an 8 quart Instant Pot?

Can you cook small meals in 8 QT Instant Pot?

So as long as you have that much liquid in there, you can safely pressure cook any amount of food, large or small. If you’re not pressure cooking, you don’t have to follow the minimum liquid rule. And please keep in mind that because of the extra space, it may take a little longer to pressurize.

Is 8 QT Instant Pot too big?

The 8 qt has a larger footprint and will require more space. And do to it’s size, it will take longer to come to pressure than the 6 qt. The trade off, of course, is that you can cook more food inside it. You can find accessories for both sizes, like this stackable egg steamer rack, for both sizes.

How much liquid do you need in an 8 qt Instant Pot?

The official Instant Pot manual says that you need at least 1 cup (8 oz) of water in the pot for it to come to pressure.

What can I use an Instapot for?

The built-in heat source at the base of the machine means you can use the pot to sear meats, sauté vegetables, or simmer liquids for steaming, no stovetop required. It’s a rice cooker and, with some brands, a yogurt maker. Because making rice and yogurt with just the touch of a button is the easiest way.
