Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips

Deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot thoroughly with broth to prevent the burn warning.
The natural release step is essential for tender, juicy meat fibers.

1. Let the Meat Rest Before Slicing: Transfer cooked meat to a cutting board for 5–10 minutes before carving. Resting allows tight muscle fibers to relax and redistribute savory juices evenly throughout the cut. 2. Protect Minced Garlic from Burning: Garlic cooks and turns fragrant in just 30 to 45 seconds. Add it toward the end of sautéing onions or aromatics so it perfumes the dish without acquiring a bitter edge. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot thoroughly with broth to prevent the burn warning.
