Instant Pot Help

I just got an Instant Pot and am super excited. I tried to make baked potatoes in it and they did not cook in 20 minutes as all the recipes state. They seem about half done and are in for a 2nd round. They are medium sized russets. I put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pot and placed 4 potatoes on the rack for 20 minutes on pressure cook. What did I do wrong?

Also if anybody has any great Instant Pot recipes I would love to see them!

Not sure what you did wrong, but I have learned that things in larger sizes need to cook longer. There is an instant pot group on FB that I have found helpful...probably more than one, actually. I'd ask your question there if no one has an answer here.

Well, this conversation was certainly different from what I thought it was going to be. :)

If you were using manual setting you probably needed to adjust your temperature or your time. We're still learning how to use our Instant Pot and have had about 95% good luck. Roasts, soups, whole chickens. We get most of our recipes from the web. Merely googling what we want to cook in the instant pot. Most of them work pretty well.

The fb site is great too but it gets crazy there and sometimes gets annoying. I found searching recipes best for our needs.

Thank you! I’m going to check out the FB group right now. I’m attempting turkey bone broth as I type. Hoping it comes out well.
