The NuWave NutriPot Pressure Cooker<\/strong> is a nice beginner pressure cooker with some higher-end features like a push-button steam release and an easy carry handle. I’ll tell you everything you need to know to get it out of the box and into your kitchen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jenn here! We have been getting a number of questions about the NuWave Nutri Pot, so we thought we\u2019d buy one and test it out. <\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve recently purchased a NuWave Nutri Pot, here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to know to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Click to pin for later<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my recipes, you\u2019ll see the phrase \u201cSelect High Pressure and set a ## minute cook time.\u201d To do this on the Nutri Pot, it takes three simple steps:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The Nutri Pot comes with a <\/span>cool-to-the-touch lid<\/b>. The entire lid is covered with plastic and has no exposed metal, so there are no hot spots to avoid while cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The pressure release valve points toward the back of the machine<\/strong> when releasing pressure. (Make sure you position it to avoid any upper cabinets.)<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The lid also features a <\/span>push button steam release. <\/b>I love this feature because it keeps your hands away from the valve. The steam release locks open when you press it, but resets when you press the button again. This is useful for recipes that may require an intermittent steam release, like pastas and potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The Nuwave Nutri Pot comes with a removable carry handle<\/strong>. (I haven’t removed it since I got it out of the box. It makes it easy to grab out of lower shelves or cabinets.) <\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The <\/span>Nutri Pot offers multiple sizes: 6-quart, 8-quart, and a giant 13-quart<\/b>. (Keep in mind that most pressure cooker recipes are written for the 6-quart size. If you are using one of the larger sizes, you\u2019ll need to use more liquid in your recipes.)<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 The NuWave pressure cooker <\/span>comes with a manual, rice paddle, ladle, and 1-cup measuring cup<\/b> (not the smaller rice measuring cup that many other pressure cookers come with).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking to Buy? <\/strong>If you haven’t decided on a specific pressure cooker model, here are some of our most popular reviews<\/a>:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The <\/span>manual pressure cook button isn’t intuitively named<\/b>. It’s called the Time <\/strong>button. You can also set a custom cook time with any of the pressure cook functions (like rice or poultry) and press the [+] or [-] buttons to adjust the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The NuWave Nutri Pot <\/span>lid is placed on a hinge<\/b>. This allows you to leave the lid in place when saut\u00e9ing or serving your food. The lid can slide out of the hinge, but it takes a little getting used to at first.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The <\/span>Nutri Pot does not have a low pressure setting<\/b>. Almost all of the recipes on Pressure Cooking Today call for High Pressure, so you should be fine. However, I know some readers like to use low pressure settings for items such as eggs or yogurt.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The cooking pot is a <\/span>nonstick coated pot<\/b>. Some of my readers like this for the easy clean up. Because the pot is nonstick, you\u2019ll need to use wood or plastic utensils with your pot so you don\u2019t scratch the coating. However, if you do prefer a stainless steel pot, you can purchase it directly from NuWave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The <\/span>Keep Warm setting does not count the minutes<\/b> since the pressure cooking cycle ended. Rather the display has a little<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd3a The NuWave\u2019s<\/span> cord is not removable<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Along the bottom of the display, there are six black buttons: <\/span><\/p>\n You can use the Hours\/Minutes<\/strong> center button if you want to set a custom cook time over 1 hour. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the preset buttons cook at High Pressure. These are the default cook times if you adjust between Less, Normal, and More. (You can also use the [+]<\/strong> and [-]<\/strong> buttons to customize the cook time even more.)<\/span><\/p>\n Function<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Less<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Normal<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n More<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Rice*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 7<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 10<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 13<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Multigrain*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 22<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 27<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 32<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Soup<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 10<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 15<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 20<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Meat\/Stew<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 20<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 40<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 50<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Poultry<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 15<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 20<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 25<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Beans<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 15<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 20<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 25<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Fish**<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 8<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 10<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Steam\/Veg**<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 5<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 7<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Potatoes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 10<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Bake**<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 30<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 40<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 50<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Canning**<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n * If you use this preset button, the Warm function will stay on indefinitely.
