- This video shows you how to use the Sauté function on Instant Pot IP-LUX/IP-DUO series. More details and videos are at InstantPot.com.
Our older IP-CSG series don't have this function. The Sauté has three temperature settings, selected by the "Adjust" button.
• Normal mode: 160~176°C or 320~349°F;
• More mode: 175~210°C or 347~410°F;
• Less mode: 135~150°C or 275~302°F) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you! None of the many "Beginner" videos I've watched so far, mention leaving off the lid when in sautee mode. I guess it's obvious to most people, but I'm not very bright, and I need the instruction to be as explicit as possible. I only guessed by watching a few of the longer videos that show the "sautée" step instead of just mentioning it, and I saw that they left the lid off. So I googled "instant pot" "sautee" and "lid off" and found your video. Thank you, again!
John J Andrews You sound bright to me! I also like things described in detail and in clear steps when i'm learning something new. And this video is great.
Same.
Thank you! It’s been almost 4 years I have had this instant pot and kept thinking that my heat adjustment wasn’t working in Sautee mode. Turns out I didn’t adjust it within 10 s and now I know because you mentioned in your video and it worked. Thank you again.
VERY helpful! important details included left out by other videos. TIME SAVER!
This was extremely helpful. Especially since I thought you'd have to place the lid on to saute. Thank you. I love this thing so far!
So happy to hear it was helpful. Happy cooking!
This was a very helpful video. Thanks for posting.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Nice video bud, thanks for the info.
Excellent video!!
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you, I was wondering if I need to use the lid as I just bought an instant pot. Your video was very helpful and answer my question quickly.
no
Really helpful
Thank you!
Love my new INSTANT POT!
I Bought a secondhand pot that might be older it doesn’t go to the high-level does anyone know if this is true I cannot sauté because the temperature is too low in medium mode
There are 3 settings for saute, less, normal and more. If you have an adjust button, use that to scroll through. If you don't, you push the saute button multiple times. You have to set your temp immediately after turning on saute. If you've been cooking and decide you want to change it, hit cancel, then saute to turn it back on and immediately set your temp.
Thank you for two important point for using sauté,
You can change the time for saute, I set mine for 4 mins and at 4 mins it will beep and turn off.
You did not mention about the option of adjusting time.
pro tip use the speed option to change to 1.5
LOL, absolutely the best tip here!
Madison C please what is the use the speed option to change to 1.5. Thank you.
@@gracechi4469 She is referring to the speed of the video playback, not something that has to do with the Instant Pot itself.
what is the speed option?
Thank you
Can I use the saute function to deep fry chicken? as I would on a pot with oil on the stove top?
Wish the timer was not locked at 30 minutes. On Saute "LOW", many videos on TH-cam say this is at the temperature for 'simmer'. I wanted to simmer my chili for 2 hours but had to keep resetting the Saute 30 minute timer after it turned OFF every half hour.
This video left out deglazing (important to avoid burn warning) but otherwise super helpful! Is there a special type of recommended spatula?
You are correct! Deglazing is super important after sauteing in order to avoid the Burn error. We always recommend using wooden spoons in the Instant Pot for best results. Happy Cooking!
Thanks
Can I use the glass lid (sold as an accessory) when using the sauté feature? Actually, I've already done it multiple times with great success without using oil. I just use a trivet and a tiny pie pan or other oven safe dish. I just asked the question for rhetorical purposes just in case anybody else was wondering. Yes, please use the sauté feature with or without the glass lid because it's a beautiful thing to get something crispy or browned that is almost like baked in an oven with an IP! I make bread and biscuits using the sauté function, that serves me well. I just don't know the long term effects on the IP after using it for something that's essentially not in the user's manual or not used as a pressure cooker or other sanctioned purposes. I make some pretty good biscuits on the sauté function so I guess everybody else will also be just as successful. How the IP holds up over time and after many non-pressure cooking uses is anyone's guess, however. Good luck.
In general, the use of a lid while sauteing is not recommended.
how long is it supposed to take from "ON" to "HOT"? Mine has been on the "On" mode for Saute for about 5 min and it doesn't seem like it's heating up...
I'm having the same problem.
Are you removing the lid? You need to leave the lid off to saute.
Can you adjust the saute after it starts? It would be nice to be able to turn it town. Or do I have to turn it off and reset it?
as he mentions in the video - hit the "adjust" button just after starting your saute.
Thanks yo
I have instant pot IP DUO 6 QT model . In mine for sauté function I can adjust the minutes only. How do I change it to less-normal- more mode . There is no adjust button. Seems like I can sauté in only one temp . I turn it off when I have to lower the temperature.
Please advise how to adjust the temperature while I am sautéing.
Hi, To change the cooking temperature, press Sauté key repeatedly to toggle between Less, normal and more. For more information and instructions see page 18 of the manual: instantpot.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DUO-Series-Manual-English-January-24-2018-web.pdf
Try pressing saute repeatedly to adjust temperature
@@InstantPotOfficial Thank you I thought I was a moron for not figuring out how to do this on mine without the adjust button. Turns out it is so simple maybe I am a moron.
I have one of the LUX models, but the Saute function is very hot, even on the lowest temp. As it stands, it should be called the Burn function. However, after watching this video I think I am doing something wrong. When I choose the temperature of saute and the IP beeps and displays ON, do I need to wait until the IP displays HOT before adding anything to the pot? Or do I start adding ingredients once the IP says ON?
Could more experienced users please advise? My IP is fully functional otherwise, and I love it deeply. It seems unlikely that the fault here is with the IP.
Hi, it's best to contact support about this issue. You can contact them here: support.instantpot.com/
I have a newer model, there is no adjust key. Saute defaults to medium which is way too hot and I cannot figure out how to get it to low. Using the plus minus only effects the minutes.
Hi Randy, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties using the Sauté function on your Instant Pot. Please reach out to our Customer Care team here so we can assist: www.instanthome.com/contact-us
I can adjust my time. Just did it
Can you use the Saute function to fry eggs?
Hi Rishi, yes you can fry eggs.
Thanks! I have a newer model, the Instant Pot Duo. It doesn't have an 'adjust' button. When I select saute how do I then select low, medium or high?
The newer models do not have an adjust button, you simply keep pressing the desired function to toggle through Low/ Medium/High.
@@InstantPotOfficial thank you!
I have a duo and when I push the sauté it does show a time and I can change it but it goes off when I’m trying to use it. Any suggestions? Thanks

What about using oil? do I have to add liquid when I put it on pressure cook?
You should use a small amount of oil when sauteing, same as in a pan on the stove. When it's time to pressure cook, you need to deglaze the bottom of the pot and add liquid. You always need thin liquid to pressure cook.
@@InstantPotOfficial does oil count as a liquid fit for cooking in the instant pot?
The saute function on my instant pot isn't working. When I press saute, it automatically turns off after a while and doesn't display "hot". The pressure Cook, on hand, is working perfectly. What should I do?
Please contact customer support: instantpot.com/instant-brands-contact-us/
It was hot then I added stuff and it cool down instantly so no browning of meat
Don’t have an adjust button
Hi there Bernadette. If you do not have the Adjust button, then simply keep pressing the Saute button to toggle through the Less, Normal and More options. Happy Cooking!
So I need to leave the lid on for the sauté function right?
No, sauteing in the pot is the same as on the stove top. No lid because you need to be stirring and flipping the food.
@@InstantPotOfficial I was being sarcastic, since the video emphasized it so much haha
Why does my instant pot revert to "on" when I add my ingredientes once the "hot" word shows up?
Great question! It will revert back to ON, because once you add in your ingredients the temperature changes and it will take a few minutes to come back to HOT.
I came here for the part that you skip over between 3:32 and 3:33. What am I supposed to do between the time that the display says "hot" and the time that my food is done?? I don't understand why you skipped that part! You just say "wait till it gets hot" and then show your food perfectly cooked inside. What am I missing?
Once it says hot, you add your food and saute it.
Plz reply my instant pot Sauté button is not working when i bush tha Button it’s on but within minutes it turn into hot
It's working correctly. When the "hot" message appears, that means it's up to temp and time to add your oil.
Instant Pot i put oli in tha pot and try to fry tha Onion but it’s not working!
Instant Pot I was using this pot before but Recently phase this Problem
What is it doing that you think isn't working? Your original comment was that you get a message that says hot, that means it IS working.
"Do not use the lid". It's hilarious he said it at least 3 times.
I wish he could explain why my instant pot won’t let me use sauté without the lid.
Can I make taco meat solely using the sauté mode?
Great question! You definitely can use the pot in sauté mode to brown meat for tacos. We have a recipe you can follow here on our website: recipes.instantpot.com/recipe/ground-beef-tacos/.
Why is there no timer for sautee?
Since you are using saute for browning, you just stop it when you are done.
@@InstantPotOfficial Yes but it'll be nice to see the time so I know how long I've been sauteing and such. I was honestly confused when I was using the saute feature of when it start or is on then before I knew it, it stop itself since the time was up.
Hey, do I need to leave the lid OFF when using the sauté feature? 😛
Yes, saute is meant to be used the same as you'd do on the stove with a pan, where you are constantly stirring and flipping. The lid is not meant to be used in saute mode.
@@InstantPotOfficial It was a sarcastic comment in humor. You were very clear on that in the video.
I put the lid on.
Saute is meant to be used without lid because the food is being watched and flipped, much like sauteing in a pan on the stove.
Answers question @ 2:40
Instant Pot is great for vegans too.
Thats a lie. it never told me to remove the lid... I used the lid and it didn't warn me of anything... smh I have the Duo Pro and it has no ADJUST key
Sauteing in the pot is just like using a pan on the stove, no cover. On a model without an adjust key, you just press the button multiple times to scroll through the settings.
Lid stays on right?? Lol!
No, you saute in the pot the same way you'd saute in a pan on the stove. You need to be checking and flipping/stirring constantly. No lid.
Disappointed after seeing this. Having to reach down into a deep narrow aperture to view and turn the meat, and the inside pot spinning as you try to stir looks look an absolute faff.
@dunstablem2
It strikes me as easier to use another pan for browning meat, particularly large cuts.
