Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Time Chart

Ok so I wanted a free printable pressure cooker time chart to know how long meat and beans took to cook but couldn’t find any so I made these Instant Pot cooking times charts for you myself! If you’re wondering how long it takes to steam vegetables in your pressure cooker I have a great guide for you to refer to and print out.

Listing the most common foods (frozen and fresh) I tend to cook on a free printable sheet, I am now sharing them with all of you too.

If you do have the air fryer lid now you can also grab this air fryer frozen food cook times cheat sheet as well. A great way to add yet another function to your multi cooker pot.

It definitely takes a fraction of time to cook all foods in your Instant Pot vs slow cooker . That makes it perfect for busy families like us. But how long to cook each thing is a bit of a mystery when you first start out.

Of course the times on these charts are estimates as vegetables and meat especially comes in a variety of sizes. The nice thing is it is totally okay to start with the estimated time. Then if you check the food in your pressure cooker and you find that your Instant Pot artichokes aren’t done quite enough.

Just put the lid back on, close the steam valve, and put them in for a minute or two longer!

Cooking in general is very subjective when it comes to tenderness for both vegetables and meat in my opinion.

I like my veggies on the firmer side of things so when I see a time chart for broccoli for example I err on the side of the shorter time and adjust from there a minute or so depending on how many heads I am cooking at one time.

Here are a few Instant Pot accessories I think are handy to have to cook:

1. Instant Pot Vegetable Steamer
2. 7″ springform cake pan – I use this for cakes and some savory recipes
3. Angel food cake pan that fits inside a 6 or 8 qt. Instant Pot
4. 6 c. bundt pan that fits into a 6 or 8 qt. Instant Pot

I just bought these Instant Pot mini mitts that have come in handy to get things out easier

You can place potatoes on a trivet just as well as putting them in a vegetable steamer basket, but smaller vegetables don’t work as well that way and it is really handy to have a basket that keeps everything contained.

The one above comes with an extendable handle as well so it is easier to pull out and not get your fingers too warm!

The pans above are great if you are cooking desserts in your Instant Pot, or something like my Instant Pot breakfast casserole where you want it to come out in one pretty piece for serving purposes, the springform pan is great for that.
