This is a quick and dirty explanation of how to set the custom temperature control for the Instant Pot Ultra to do sous vide cooking.
I almost bought a new instapot for the sous vide cooking setting, but then I saw your video and it saved me from having to make a new purchase. Thanks!
Perfect! Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this! It was sooo helpful to us!!
thanks really helpful!!!
It shouldn't make a difference if you wait until the water comes up temp because it will not overcook or start the timer until it gets hot enough. I use the delay if I want to start later in the day and need to go out. Thanks for the video I didn't even think about doing this until I saw a similar video.
I didn't see any comment or question about this but usually something is in the pot to weigh the product down to keep it submerged. Did you do this and with what?
I just bought the ultra. My experience is that it does provide reliable temperatures. After setting it as you instructed it "came to temp" about 5 minutes later and started counting down. After ruining a steak last night I thought I would go ahead and check the temp tonight and found that it "came to temperature" at 100° (confirmed by a thermometer) on a setting of 132°. Clearly that is an unacceptable variance. It took 90 minutes to get to 130°. Not dogging your video but I don't think the instant pot is the sous vide dream we would hope for. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated if I missed something.
Thank you so much for the IP-Ultra sous vide video! Very helpful. I also did not know that you could use a Ziploc freezer bag. I am new to this method of cooking (both IP-Ultra and sous vide). I assume the "Ultra" setting is the same as the manual setting on the Duo model? The included instruction booklet was missing so many details. Perhaps the company needs to hire a team to do this!
I'm new to IP, just got the Ultra 80 yesterday. What do you put the steak in? I have a vacuum sealer, would that work?
Trying this now! Didn't know I'd bought a sous vide pot when I ordered the Ultra! LOL I have a circulating sous vide on order from Macy's, but in the meantime I'm cooking striploin steak today!
I’d be curious for someone to test accuracy of the temperatures
Can you switch between °F and °C?
Do you put the lid on when cooking sous vide, or leave it off?
Thanks!! Did you use the instant pot sous vide circulator?? Or was this done without?
Do you have any idea how to set the altitude settings for the instant pot ultra 60? I see what looks like possible settings at the opening of your video, but my new IP doesn't actually allow me to get into those settings, as stated like in the manual. Would love any help. I've been researching this for hours, which is how I finally came across your video.
Thanks for the video. Do you recommend this device as a sous vide machine? If it works I'd rather buy this over a dedicated sous vide device
Excellent video Michael. I have NO idea who was the idiot giving a thumbs down, and why? Thanks for the tip. Gave you a huge thumbs up bro 🙂
THANKS
