    Food safety

    • Cook to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C)
    • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
    • Wash hands after touching raw meat
    • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
    • Never leave cooking food unattended
    • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
    • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove

    See more guidelines at USDA.gov.

    What is the best Instant Pot for beginners?

    The Instant Pot 6-quart or 8-quart DUO. The 6 quart is best for 2-4 people. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It has all the functions a beginner would need. An 8 quart is best for large families or if you love to meal prep and batch cook.

    Are Instant Pots Safe?

    I hope you will be reassured and do your own research when it comes to using an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. The Instant Pot company has engineered and designed the Instant Pot with a minimum of 10 safety mechanisms. Most accidents happen due to improper use and user error and can easily be avoided if used properly and following the manufactures instructions. In other words, nothing is going to blow up in your kitchen.
