FAQs

How many pounds of ground beef can you cook in Instant Pot? ›

Check the middle of the meat after cook time to be sure an internal temperature of 160 degrees has been reached. I would not recommend cooking more than 3-4 pounds of frozen meat at a time. Doing so, would overcrowd your Instant Pot and therefore would cause it to take forever to reach pressure.

How to cook just meat in Instant Pot? ›

To cook diced meat in the Instant Pot:
  1. Season your meat as you normally would.
  2. Heat a little oil using the Sauté function and sear the meat.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups of liquid (water, stock, etc.).
  4. Cook for 20 minutes (per pound of meat) at high pressure for large chunks and 15 minutes (per pound of meat) for small chunks.

Try serving 3/4 of a pound per person to factor in the extra weight. If you're dishing up some ground beef for taco night, ¼ of a pound per person should be sufficient. You might want to consider ¾ of a pound for those with heartier appetites. A half a pound might not be enough.

However, when beef is ground, bacteria from its surface are mixed throughout the meat as it is chopped into tiny pieces.
