QuestionI understand Teflon is safe up to 570 degrees F. How hot does the insert get when using the pressure cooking mode? Does it get that hot? I don’t see that information in the description. Thank you.
Asked 2 years ago by BeSafe.
- Answer Hello BeSafe, When you cook in a regular pot at atmospheric pressure (14.7 pounds per square inch [psi]), water boils at 100°C (212°F). Inside a pressure cooker, the pressure can increase by an additional 15 psi, to almost 30 psi. At that pressure, water boils at 121°C (250°F. Insignia Support, Merjorie

QuestionIs there an available steam diverter for this? There are hundreds on Amazon but none specifically address the Insignia pressure cooker.
Asked 3 years ago by Auntiepmd.
- Answer I don't have a steam diverter but all of my accessories are for 6 quart pressure cookers. The glass lid I have is an Instapot lid. I imagine that the steam diverter would work the same on this brand.

QuestionWhat is the temperature held at when using the warm setting? I'd like to possibly use it to make yogurt but this does not have a yogurt setting like the Instant Pot. Hoping the warm setting will hold at an acceptable temperature to make yogurt. Thanks!
Asked 3 years ago by undone.
- Answer This unit does not have a Yogurt program. The temperature in the Warm setting is around 158°F.

QuestionHow do you change the pressure on this model cooker?
Asked 4 years ago by Mike.
- Answer You need to play with it a little. When I first got mine, it took me about an hour to figure it out. First you need to push a button on the backside of it. The button is kinda small and hard to find. It is located on the back towards the bottom. You just need to tease it a little and then you can set it to the pressure you want.

QuestionHow do you get it to cook on "high" pressure? How do you get it to cook on "low" pressure? You know, like every other 6 quart pressure cooker made.
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You cannot change the pressure. Once locked it starts pressurizing b4 the cooking phase. You can only alter the time. Or choose from preset meal types. Not the same design as a slow cooker with high & low temperatures. Also not familiar with a digital pressure cooker that has a pressure gauge that can be altered manually.

QuestionCan you make yogurt in this? I could not find information as to what it did.
Asked 5 years ago by Lucy.
- Answer From my understanding, no I dont believe you can. The cooking optional are rice, multigrain, soup,meat/stew, poultry, fish, stream veggies, beans/chilli, quinoa, and cake. You can also choose to sear/saute and even slow cook, along with the manual time settings.

QuestionUp to how many cups of rice can be cooked in this?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I put in 4 cups rice last week and the appropriate amount of broth (can't remember what my cookbook said - maybe 1 cup to 1 cup) and it came out fine. Be sure to rinse and rinse and rinse the rice first before cooking it to reduce the gumminess and clean it up. It also is fluffier if rinsed before cooking. Use liquid/rice proportions as if doing stovetop and things come out ok. You just can't put the combo of things in to exceed the recommended limit shown on the line inside the pot and referenced in the instruction manual available from BB's website page about the cooker.
