As you can see, the Instant Pot Ultra was able to hold the temperature to +/- 3☏ of the targeted temperature. Test: We set the Instant Pot Ultra to 160☏ for a 2 hours duration with the Ultra Mode. We were so excited to test how well the Instant Pot Ultra can Sous Vide using the Ultra Mode!! In our opinion, the Instant Pot Ultra will be much more convenient with Pushable program buttons and +, – buttons.Ĥ.2 Poor-man Sous Vide Function Experiment We hope the next version will address this issue. Unfortunately, it disrupts the flow of cooking quite a bit. It takes more time to navigate and adjust from one program to another. Then, if we want to switch from the Saute program to Pressure Cook program, we will have to press Cancel button, then scroll through the program list until we reach the Pressure Cook program with the dial button. Why?Because with this design, we can’t quickly adjust from one program to another.Įxample: Instead of pressing a pushable Saute button, we now have to scroll through the program list with the dial button to select the Saute program. However, compared to previous Instant Pot Models, this drastic change seems like a step backward in terms of user-friendliness. The Instant Pot Ultra looks a lot cleaner with the large LCD Display and only three pushable keys: Start button, Cancel button, and a pushable dial. 🙂Ģ.1 New User Interface’s User-Friendliness The steam release control is literally at the tip of your finger.

Press it all the way down for a full blast steam release or you can press it down slightly to release just a little pressure. To release pressure or to perform a Quick Release, simply press down the separate Quick Release button until it clicks and locks into Venting position (as shown in photo below). You can also slightly turn the Quick Release button counter-clockwise until it pops up to seal the Steam Release Valve. Let’s discuss more if it’s a good or bad feature at the end of the section. No more forgetting to seal the pot! Sounds awesome? What’s different? The Instant Pot Ultra’s Steam Release Valve will now seal automatically when you close & secure the lid on the Instant Pot (Quick Release button up = sealed).
The Instant Pot engineers must have put in quite a bit of work to implement this feature. Say hello to the brand new steam sealing & release system!
