Reheating Using Instant Pot

配料

Instant pot, trivet, water, and pots

步骤

You can use steam, slow cook or sauté. See the notes below for steam.

If using slow cook, plan on a lot of time and use the higher slow cook option. Close the lid but leave the vent open.

If using sauté, stir every couple minutes to keep it from burning. Once it is hot, change it to keep warm on either option.

Use some water. You'll be using the Steam function of the Instant Pot, so you'll need water to create steam! I use 1 cup of water.

Put your trivet into the insert pot of the Instant Pot.

Use heatproof containers. This allows us to use the "pot in pot" method of reheating food, where the food is in a container that goes into the insert pot.

Add a bit of water or fat, if needed. Some foods, particularly those that are prone to becoming sticky (such as pasta or rice), may need some extra water or fat added. I generally add 1/2-1 Tbsp of water to these foods, and maybe a drizzle of olive oil if needed.

Cover the containers with foil. This helps prevent condensation from dripping into the food. It also allows for stacking of containers, depending on their size.

Set the steam time. Use the Steam function and select a time, depending on the type of food. Most often, I use 5 minutes. However, some more delicate foods (such as vegetables) may be able to steam for just 2-3 minutes. If your food is very cold or if you're reheating multiple containers, you may need to steam for 8-10 minutes. Afterward, allow a natural release and then check the temperature of your food. If necessary, steam for 1-2 minutes more.
