Where to start with using your instant pot

Oil goes on the bottom

The number one thing to know with the Instant Pot is that oil/butter needs to go in the bottom of the pot - it should be the first thing you add otherwise you risk getting the burn message. You should also avoid stirring ingredients once added - they will cook up once under pressure and you can stir once everything is finished. These are the best ways to avoid the burn message.

Be careful with veggies

Because everything cooks so quickly under pressure, the Instant Pot is perfect for meat, rice, pasta and dried legumes. It's also great for hardier veggies such as carrots and mushrooms. However, you want to be careful  with tender veggies such as broccoli and zucchini as those will overcook under pressure. The best way around this is to add those veggies after everything has cooked.

Use enough liquid

Two main modes you'll use are saute mode & high pressure. When using saute mode, you'll saute meat & veggies (usually before/after pressure cooking) & you don't need a certain amount of liquid. However, to bring the pot to pressure, you'll need at least 1 cup of liquid. Using a combination of broth, soy sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce or other condiments ensures your food will cook through.
