This versatile appliance is perfect for cooking all kinds of meat, from chicken to beef to pork. Here's how to cook meat in an Instant Pot:

Step 1: Choose your cut of meat
First, decide what kind of meat you want to cook. Different cuts require different cooking times and methods. For example, chicken breasts can be cooked in as little as 8 minutes on high pressure, while a pot roast may take up to 90 minutes.

Season your meat with salt and pepper or any other desired seasoning. If desired, sear the meat on all sides using the sauté function on your Instant Pot. This will add flavor and create a nice crust.

Step 3: Add liquid
Add liquid such as broth or water into the pot, making sure it covers about one-third of the way up the meat.

Step 4: Select cooking time
Select manual/pressure cook mode according to your recipe’s requirement & set timer accordingly based on type & quantity of Meat

Step 5: Natural Pressure Release (NPR) Vs Quick Pressure Release (QPR)

Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of Meat after opening lid post NPR/QPR release method
