Instant Pot Lesson 2: the Saute Function

If you're getting started with the IP, I think the best first step is to simply use the "saute" function. Push the button, let it heat, and use the pot (without having to seal it) like you would an electric skillet to saute. This is also a good way to heat up the pot faster before you turn it to manual mode.

I’ve been using one of these for over a year weekly and never knew I could use it without the lid on 😂🤷🏻 this is huge!

Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!

Helpful video. Can you fry an egg on sauté selection? Thanks

[@charmed2284]

I had to saute something on both sides, Ive noticed it cools down very quickly after resetting timer to do the other side

[@janetregan5034]

I have been using my saute feature, and all has been fine. I just tried the other night coming out of pressure cooking my chicken, I shut off and hit Saute button to make the sauce. It always would come on and heat up...all good. Last night it was a few seconds and the OFF showed on the screen. I'm thinking something is wrong with my instant pot??? Malfunction? Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it...thanks!

[@melechhaarayot9273]

Can I use the pressure function without the heat. For jars

[@cook7772]

Can I cook and season my ground meat with this setting? I like to cook my meat before show cooking it.

[@conniepayton-nevels2685]

I was trying to get to sauté high!

[@paulae1544]

Same! Gow do u adjust temperature of the saute? I need it to be higher.

[@Divine_healing]

What if able to sauté but when your ready to cook it displays auto and does not turn on?

[@sonalpatel-kj7ml]

My instant pot does not say Hot anymore on sauté mode. Any idea why?

[@deevancuren9997]

I've tried doing this and mine never turn to hot or heat. I have the viva 9-in-1

[@mamamia7740]

How long does it take to get to “hot”?

[@vandanasanjay4032]

Hi my Saute function is not working in my nutrition Smart Pot Eko. Please let me know, what could have gone wrong. I'm worried, expecting your early reply. Hope you don't mind :(

[@Top10Maestro]

Hello, Today Ibought an AICOOK Electric Pressure Cooker and I fought alot with it but could not cook anything. I want to ask that how can I cook in it without lid because almost all Pakistani food needs an open lid pot to cook initially, please guide me how to cook without lid because when I open the lid AICOOK elctric pressure cooker show OPEN on its screen but cooks nothing.

[@kennystein323]

I don't understand, you say to put the oil in when it gets hot, but you didn't put any oil in. Isn't the bacon going to burn to the bottom?

[@GamingWithSunny176]

You don't need to add oil to bacon since it's so oily that within a short amount of time the bacon will have its own oil. Just like in a pan

[@crawleyr4919]

I pushed the sauté button and it just says on

[@barbielynreyes3668]

Omg I feel dumb. I was using sauté with the lid ON.

[@barbaralinderman]

Barbie Lyn Reyes omg me too. And I was like " this isn't sauté...... it's mushy" lol

[@JuliaPedro]

This comment was my answer. Thanks a bunch.

[@moppyluv]

Me too....

[@kristycurtis3339]

Why does mine say LID error when I have it on saute!? I hate the instapot!! Crockpot pressure cooker way easier! I cannot figure this thing out!!!!!!

[@TheSunlitLeaf]

I just watched the official video and it says you have to leave the lid off when using the saute function. I wish they put all of this info in the instructions!
