Here are the very basic steps for cooking with the pot-in-pot method:
Step 1 – Add at least 1 cup of liquid to the bottom of the inner pot.
Step 2 – Place a metal trivet or rack in the bottom of the pot.
Step 3 – Put the food you’ll be cooking into a small, oven-safe dish, and cover the dish with a piece of tin foil.
Step 4 – Place the dish onto the rack, then put the lid on your Instant Pot.

3 Bonus Tips For Pot-In-Pot Cooking Success
- Use a taller rack. The trivet that comes with your Instant Pot sits quite low, so it’s not ideal for the pot-in-pot cooking method. Instead, invest in a rack that has longer legs to give yourself more room to work with. I use a metal egg steamer rack for this, which sits about 2” off the bottom of the pot.
- Use an oven-safe dish. For pot-in-pot cooking, be sure to use a dish that would be safe in an oven. Materials like stainless steel, oven-safe glass, silicone, or ceramic are good options. Also, make sure that your dish is small enough that it won’t touch the sides of the inner pot or prevent the lid from closing.
- Cover your dish in tin foil. Before placing the dish of food onto the rack in your Instant Pot, cover it with a piece of tin foil. Condensation collects on the inside of the lid during cooking, and the tin foil will keep that moisture from dripping into your food and making it soggy.
