I got my Instant Pot last night. This morning I did the steam thing and then did some hard boiled eggs. I guess you just look online for everything--I was expecting more from the users manual. It has an egg button, but had no instructions about putting the eggs on the rack, adding water, etc. So I had to look online. Some of the instructions said to use the manual button, one said use the steam function. I used the Egg button. It's a little confusing.
I got the 5 qt and I'm a little worried because no one seems to get that one. In fact it's a Lux model and under FAQs on the IP website it says the lux model comes in 3, 6, and 8 quart. It doesn't even mention the 5 quart. It's like the 5 quart is the forgotten step-sister. I wonder if I'll have trouble adjusting recipes to the size. The size looks pretty good, but it says not to fill it too full, so we'll see.
Where do you set up your pot? It's on my counter and the steam is going right onto my cabinets. I turned it so the steam button is away from the cabinet, but then I can't see the display. I suppose I could put it on the island, but it seems in the way there. What do you guys do?
