Re: Correct name of instant pot app and model said it works with

[Lynda Ingraham]

Thank you very much for answering my question.

Does the app work with the Wi-Fi model? Also, can it be used with Alexa?.

Thanks again.

Lynda

PS. What is the name of the app?

Re: Instant Pot app

[Brent Harding]

Would a person be able to use the Google Assistant integrations with the iOS 
Google Assistant app? I wish there was a device similar to an echo dot that 
had a line out jack on it. That's why I never tried Google Assistant yet.

What about other settings like time, pressure level, and other settings that 
were very accessible in the BlueTooth version but not in the WiFi version of 
the app? With the BT version of the app, all of these settings are 
accessible via the dashboard and there is no need to use any of the hardware 
buttons to setup your cook session.

I have done most of my selection using the hardware buttons on the device. 
However, the cooking mode buttons are labeled in the app.

Re: Instant Pot app

[Penny Reeder]

Are the buttons labeled, and can you select the pressure level, sautee
low or high, warming time, and cooking time using the app and
VoiceOver? Thanks so much for any information you can share. I
currently use, and enjoy using, the Bluetooth model, and I am hopeful
that the WiFi model will become as accessible as the Bluetooth one
using the app.
Thanks.

Instant pot app FYI

['Wren LANGLEY' via VIPhone]

hi all,
I watch a video on YouTube and the lady shows how to pair the app with the 
phone or your mobile device. The app you want if you get the Wi-Fi instant pot 
is the first app on the App Store. I called Apple accessibility department and 
she help me find it. Wanted to let you all know in case anyone wants to get it. 
Thank you all very much
God bless,
Wren Langley PS it is the red app. Just in case you have someone cited looking 
for it.

hi all, and thank you for the help.
I don’t know how to find the Wi-Fi app on the App Store. I did read that you 
need the Wi-Fi app but does anyone know the name of that app? And if you know 
of the messages that tell about it could you please tell me where they are as I 
would like to read up on this part. Thank you very much. Sorry for so many 
emails.

God bless,

Re: Instant pot app for Wi-Fi

[Mary Otten]

It is my understanding from having read messages on this topic, that the 
Bluetooth app does not work on the Wi-Fi unit. You need to have the other app 
that is specifically made for the Wi-Fi unit.

Re: Home Screen on Instant Pot App

[Sandy Finley]

I just called Apple VO support. The rep was very helpful and immediately sentan 
explanation of the problem to  Instant Pot.  He explained that the menus I 
think are not opening actually are, but that when I flick, the app loses focus. 
He said a work around (and it helped) is, once I have double tapped on whatever 
utton  I am trying to activate, do a one-finger single tap on the left side of 
the screen approximately in the middle between the top ad bottom. (So 
horizontally, the tap is on the extreme eft and vertically, it is in the 
middle.) That seems  to temporarily restore focus.  

At the rep’s request, I also sent feedback to InstantPot through the app. 

Onward and Upward!

Re: Home Screen on Instant Pot App

[Richard Turner]

you might also try the pass through gesture. Double tap and hold the second 
tap, when you hear the tritone, lift and then try another tap, or even a double 
tap.
The bottom line though, is they need to fix that part of the app.

I don’t' see why the Bluetooth model shouldn't give us years of reliable 
service like any well made appliance. If anything, it's the iOS app that'll 
likely give us trouble long before we have to deal with any issues with the 
actual device. Looks like the smart cooker app hasn't been updated in forever, 
but as long as it continues to work and do what it's supposed to do, then 
that's perfectly fine with me. 
Funny, a few days ago during a spurt of holiday cooking, my wife was using both 
our instant pots. The 6 quart Bluetooth one that I use as well as an 8 quart 
model she'll bust out if she wants to make something bigger or a larger batch 
of whatever. Anyway, we were upstairs and she wanted to check on the status of 
what she had in the bigger pot and flipped open her iPad to launch the app only 
to remember that it was the standard model with no connectivity she wanted to 
check on. She expressed her frustration in very colorful language with having 
to go downstairs just to check the time left. Me being the loving husband that 
I am, I went to the kitchen instead and did a little facetime session with her 
to check.
She commented on how the Bluetooth one makes things super convenient and lets 
you be lazy for little things like this.
I'd like to think that if enough people continue to express their frustration 
and disappointment with the accessibility challenges pertaining to this new 
wifi model, the instant pot folks may eventually get around to addressing it. 
Just keep the pressure on and be noisy about it.

RE: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I don’t' see why the Bluetooth model shouldn't give us years of reliable 
service like any well made appliance. If anything, it's the iOS app that'll 
likely give us trouble long before we have to deal with any issues with the 
actual device. Looks like the smart cooker app hasn't been updated in forever, 
but as long as it continues to work and do what it's supposed to do, then 
that's perfectly fine with me. 
Funny, a few days ago during a spurt of holiday cooking, my wife was using both 
our instant pots. The 6 quart Bluetooth one that I use as well as an 8 quart 
model she'll bust out if she wants to make something bigger or a larger batch 
of whatever. Anyway, we were upstairs and she wanted to check on the status of 
what she had in the bigger pot and flipped open her iPad to launch the app only 
to remember that it was the standard model with no connectivity she wanted to 
check on. She expressed her frustration in very colorful language with having 
to go downstairs just to check the time left. Me being the loving husband that 
I am, I went to the kitchen instead and did a little facetime session with her 
to check.
She commented on how the Bluetooth one makes things super convenient and lets 
you be lazy for little things like this.
I'd like to think that if enough people continue to express their frustration 
and disappointment with the accessibility challenges pertaining to this new 
wifi model, the instant pot folks may eventually get around to addressing it. 
Just keep the pressure on and be noisy about it.

Cristóbal

RE: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app

[Terrie Terlau]

Hi Mary,
You can use the built in program buttons on the pot and get notifications of 
what the program is doing on the phone. However, I don't know what happens with 
the plus and minus time buttons or the increase/decrease pressure buttons. I 
will have to experiment and let you all know. Using manual settings where you 
pick the cooking process and the time and pressure level, I am not sure what 
kind of announcement feedback you get back. I  have forgotten to mention as 
well that I don't see a count-down timer on the app and just have to wait till 
the automated process of a program is finished.
HTH,.
BTW, wish I had the older blue-tooth model (smile) and I hope yours lasts 
forever.
Best,

Well OK, it wasn’t too clear to me that you could, for instance, accessibly 
change the time on something. That’s the big deal for me. I often make soup 
stock in my Insta pot. And for that, I raise the time up to the max.

It sounds though that if you hit a button on the pot, the responses
would read on the phone so that's not all that bad really.
I agree that for htose of us with the older model, may it work
forever. But it's good to know that this could be worked around. I
don't care about the recipes. I have plenty of htose, I don't need the
programming. Like most peole, sighted or blind, I do most of it on
manual with a very few exceptions. I am really annoyed with this
company though because they do know better.

RE: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app

[Terrie Terlau]

Hi again,
Sorry I didn't see this email when I responded previously. I have not found the 
dash board for setting the pot with the app and I can't get the recipes to work 
either. Using the buttons on the pot, you do get notifications about the 
program you start and the stage it is in wen the stage changes.
Best,
Terrie

Subject: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app

I received a WIFI-enabled instant pot for Christmas and have some questions. If 
someone who has one could contact me off list, perhaps  we could share 
information without cluttering up this list?  I have some of my questions 
listed below.  

The good news is that I was able to connect the pot to our WIFI network. quite 
easily. This is where the questions begin.

1. The app for the Bluetooth-enabled pot has a dash board that enables the user 
to control the pot from the app.  I do not see where to do that in this app.

2. When I open the app and jump from heading to heading on the first screen I 
have the following headings:
Featured Recipe
Categories
Instant pot today
Newest Recipes and
Instant Pot Today.
Under Featured Recipes I find Cauliflower Mac and Cheese. When I do a 
one-finger double tap and then flick right, I get "Star Image" 4 times, 
followed by "Star outline", followed by the name of the recipe's author, the 
recipe's difficulty, prep time, and more.  But where is the recipe?

3.  When I go to Categories, and one-finger double tap on a given category, I 
get inconsistent results.  « Double tapping the Desserts button sometimes 
produces a list of recipes. 
If I have been in the app too long and pressing too many buttons, double 
tapping the Desserts button produces no result at all -- I remain in the 
Categories list. Closing and reopening the app solves that problem. But this is 
not true of all of the Categories buttons; on some of them, such as Meat, 
Poultry, and Pastas,  double tapping the button produces no result at all.  

Thanks for your help.

FW: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

Subject: RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

Hi Les,
Here is the WIFI Instant Pot button layout. I am attaching an Excel file with 
the same info except that it is in rows and columns corresponding to the rows 
and columns of buttons on the pot. This is for the newe WIFI model, not the old 
blue tooth or other models.

There are 3 rows of 2 buttons and then three rows of 4 buttons on the pot. 
starting rows of two with the top row first.

row 1 
left button: soup/broth
right button rice

row 2 
left button meat/stew
right button multigrain

rrow 3
left button bean/chili
right button poridge

Row 4
left button cake
second button pressure level and wifi on/off. hold for 3 seconds to turn wifi 
on or off,.
third button keep warm
right button steam

Row 5 
left button slow cook
second button decrease time
third button increase time
right button yogurt

Row Six 
left saute
second button delay start
third button cancel
right button pressure cook

I am including other notes I took on the Quick Start materials that came with 
the pot:

For pressure cooking, add at least  1.5 cups of liquid  unless otherwise 
specified in the recipe. Liquids include:
water; broth or stock; fruit or vegetable juice; beer or wine with low alcohol 
content; water-based cooking sauces.

Do not fill inner pot higher than PC Max, 2/3 line.
for foods that expand such as rice or beans, go to the 1/2 line.

Liquids must be water based. Be cautious when cooking with more than 1/4 cup 
oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based soups, and thick sauces.
Add suitable liquid to thin out sauces.
Avoid recipes that call for more than 1/4 cup oil.
Before pressurizing, make sure vint is sealed, turned towards the back.

Pressurizing: until pot pressurizes and vowelve pops up, lid is removable. Once 
pressurized, lid locks till depressurized.

to depressurize, can let it cool and depressurize naturally, vowelve goes down 
when depressurized, or can turn handle on vint.

NR versus QR: normal release versus quick release: 
Normal release, let cool naturally and vowelve goes down when pressure is 
released.
Quick release use the handle to unseal the vent.

HTH.
VBest,
Terrie Terlau

Re: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Deb Cook Lewis]

I don' tthink the recipe part has ever been accessible. My
understanding is that you could use the buttons from the phone with a
little study. I don't htink they flick well from what I've heard. But
I would never expect th eprogramming to work based on previous
experience. You really don't need that though. I have found it
frustrating that people haven't been able to reliably describe what
does and does not work with this. I have the older model and don't
need the new one, but eventually I'm sure we all will need it.

RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Richard Petty]

Has the developer broken the app recently? After reading messages on the list 
in November, the app seemed to work--aside from difficulty with initial setup. 
I bought one. It's sitting in its box in my garage; I was awaiting assistance 
to set up the WiFi. Now, I will return it if the app isn't accessible. I will 
appreciate any feedback.

Hi Sandy,

Actually, since this is an iPhone app, it certainly appropriate to discuss this 
on the list. I would prefer that. I’m having some of the same difficulties you 
are. I don’t seem to be able to activate recipes that’s far. So I would be

RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Terrie Terlau]

I also got an Instant Pot for Christmas. I could not find a way to set programs 
with the app. However, I did use the buttons on the pot to set the program and 
received announcements on the phone when various parts of the program were 
finished (e.g., when the program was activated, when the pressure started to 
build, when the program went to the warm setting after the cooking was 
finished).
If anyone wants the description of buttons and their locations on the pot, let 
me know and I will send.
If there is enough interest, I will share with the list.
Email terrie...@gmail.com
Best,
Terrie Terlau

Hi Sandy,

Actually, since this is an iPhone app, it certainly appropriate to discuss this 
on the list. I would prefer that. I’m having some of the same difficulties you 
are. I don’t seem to be able to activate recipes that’s far. So I would be 
interested in how people are dealing with this app. I have had discussions with 
their support team, and they say that they are working on some of the issues 
that we are having. But we shall see. Thanks.

WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Sandy Finley]

I received one for Christmas and have a lot of questions about the app.  If 
anyone who has one and has figured the app out, even a little bit,  could 
contact me off  list, we can share information without cluttering the list. 

The good news is I was able to connect the pot to our WIFI network very easily; 
the problems are in pulling up recipes.Here are some of my questions.

1. The app for the Bluetooth enabled pot has a Dashboard that can be used to 
configure the pot from the app. How does one control this pot from the app?

2. I see the buttons for categories of recipes but get  inconsistent results 
when I do a One-finger double tap.  On some, such as Meats and Poultry, nothing 
happens; I remain in the same screen I was in before double tapping. With 
Desserts, I get a list of desserts, at least sometimes. If I have been in the 
app for a while, tapping and backing out of screens, I have to close and reopen 
the app to get the buttons to work. 

3. Finally, I am having trouble finding an entire recipe. I find screens with 
what are called “main ingredients” but cannot always find the complete list of 
ingredients or the instructions.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi Alan,

 

I only found a link to the bluetooth Instant Pot on their website where it 
describes the unit, but if you go to their own online store it is also no 
longer listed.

I just sent an email to them asking about what their rep told me last November 
about a new smart/bluetooth cooker coming out this year. Once I get a reply 
I’ll post it here.

I know Amazon’s often the default, but other retailers sell it too. I got my 
bluetooth model from BestBuy back in the day for example. My wife likes it so 
much, she ended up getting the 8 quart regular instant pot at Kohls during a 
sale. After redeeming coupons, gift cards and God knows what else, she got the 
price down to something like $50.

We still use the bluetooth one for most things since I can use it with the app, 
but when she wants to make a bigger pot of soup or make a big batch of rice or 
for meal prep for the week, she’ll bust out the bigger one which is fine since 
she’s sighted so accessibility isn’t an issue for her.

Kristeen, 

 

I'm wondering what Amazon you're shopping at to say that Instant Pot Bluetooth 
models are very easy to find on Amazon. Perhaps you could provide us with some 
links to those models. 

 

Thanks.

Subject: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

 

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Cristóbal]

Made me look it up. The one I read about a few weeks ago was the Instant Pot 
Max. 

https://www.thekitchn.com/instant-pot-max-2018-new-features-254980

This one at least won’t have bluetooth and at the time of the article, is 
guesstimated to be around $200. This is what in part made my wife to go ahead 
and get the second 8 quart current model at the super cheap price back in 
February.

Hi Alan,

 

I only found a link to the bluetooth Instant Pot on their website where it 
describes the unit, but if you go to their own online store it is also no 
longer listed.

I just sent an email to them asking about what their rep told me last November 
about a new smart/bluetooth cooker coming out this year. Once I get a reply 
I’ll post it here.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I did a specific Google search after striking out at Amazon but when I checked 
the hits at Best Buy and Target, the Bluetooth models were no longer available 
at those sites either.

We still use the bluetooth one for most things since I can use it with the app,

Kristeen, 

 

I'm wondering what Amazon you're shopping at to say that Instant Pot Bluetooth 
models are very easy to find on Amazon. Perhaps you could provide us with some 
links to those models. 

 

Thanks.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

I thought that too for a while, but then bit the bullet(or rather, my husband 
did), and now I’d pay that all over again if I had to.  This thing is 
indispensible at our house, gets used almost daily for various things.  
Remember, it’s not just a pressure cooker, it’s a slow cooker, yogurt maker, 
steamer, rice cooker, etc, so it’s like six or seven appliances in one.

JMO, of course!

I am sorry to have mistakenly misled. When I was looking to buy the 6 quart 
model back in the early fall, they were easy to find. I now know that has 
changed. I think it is a shame. I really like the bluetooth model we have and 
hope they bring one out soon. My first experience was with a model that was not 
bluetooth, and it was not possible to do certain things with it. Also, there 
were just pieces if information I could never have. It was usable, but this is 
so much better.

Sorry if I made anyone’s hopes rise too high.

I’m glad we got ours when we did. I really like our bluetooth model and it 
didn’t cost anywhere near the $329 price quoted in another E-mail.

While I do agree that the app would give you more feedback regarding the use of 
the InstantPot, I just wanted to make sure people are aware that the InstantPot 
without the Bluetooth,  I believe it is called the Duo, is still accessible.  
My husband and I are both blind and we use ours without difficulty.

Hi List,

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

I read an article a few weeks ago where a new model was talked about. A 
relocation of the pressure  valve, less buttons on the console and some other 
technical aspects having to do with the level of pressure the device can 
achieve etc. Nothing for that model at least was mentioned about bluetooth.

The only Bluetooth model currently available is the Smart 60.  It is a 6 quart. 
 You might try calling instant pot and depending on where you live, Canada or 
USA there are different phone numbers.  There is a new one coming out but it 
hasn't yet.  I would love to see an 8 quart come out with Bluetooth.

Hi Mary,

 

Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least not from 
Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth model in 
standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones available and the two used, 
like new ones were priced at $329. That seems exorbitant to me and since I'm 
considering this as a gift, I wouldn't buy a used model anyway.

 

If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's still 
obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying on Amazon as 
opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come up with another gift 
idea.

 

Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work with 
controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

Subject: Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

 

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to get 
the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes it a 
good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile buttons on 
the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could make yourself a 
braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, I do have the 
Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the 
cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the various 
amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what operation you want 
to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button to advance or decrease the 
amount of time.

You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, you 
can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are a 
whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that 
says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort of cooking you want and 
set the various parameters accessibly. You can do a lot with these things, and 
I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many 
people on the huge Insta pot facebook group have done.

[Mary Otten]

Clearly, somebody is ripping somebody off. Even when new, the pot didn’t cost 
anywhere close to $329. I do hope they come out with another Bluetooth model, 
since this one is apparently not available anymore. Really too bad.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

They are not so easy to find any more since InstantPot is no longer selling the 
old bluetooth model as far as I know. Even last November during the Black 
Friday/Cyber Monday week you  could find all the other models at good sale 
prices, but the bluetooth model was available at I think $199 here in Canada 
and that was it. This is when I called InstantPot and was told it would be much 
better to wait until the new bluetooth/smart cooker comes out this year and I 
wouldn’t be surprised if this year we will also see good deals on it during 
Black Friday. Wh o knows maybe there will be some good introductory deals also 
when it does finally come out.

Sieghard

Hi List,

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

$329? Sheesh! That's like three times the price of the one without 
Bluetooth. No way  would I pay that even for a new one.

Hi Mary,

Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least 
not from Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart 
Bluetooth model in standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones 
available and the two used, like new ones were priced at $329. That 
seems exorbitant to me and since I'm considering this as a gift, I 
wouldn't buy a used model anyway.


If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's 
still obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying 
on Amazon as opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come 
up with another gift idea.


Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work 
with controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need 
to get the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That 
unfortunately makes it a good deal more expensive. The instant pot 
does have  very tactile buttons on the front. So if you didn’t want to 
spend the money, you could make yourself a braille chart of what the 
buttons do. That having been said, I do have the Bluetooth model and 
I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the cooking 
duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the 
various amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what 
operation you want to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button 
to advance or decrease the amount of time.


You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of 
course, you can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, 
manual, there are a whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how 
much difference all those things make, except there are times that are 
preset of course, but they can be changed by you. You can also slow 
cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You do have to pair 
the device, which means before you can do anything with the app, you 
have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for 
recipes. I never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go 
to the one that says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort 
of cooking you want and set the various parameters accessibly. You can 
do a lot with these things, and I’m sure I have not made as much use 
of mind for different things as many people on the huge Insta pot 
facebook group have done.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Kay Malmquist]

The only Bluetooth model currently available is the Smart 60.  It is a 6 
quart.  You might try calling instant pot and depending on where you live, 
Canada or USA there are different phone numbers.  There is a new one coming 
out but it hasn't yet.  I would love to see an 8 quart come out with 
Bluetooth.

  Hi Mary,



  Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least not 
from Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth 
model in standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones available and the 
two used, like new ones were priced at $329. That seems exorbitant to me and 
since I'm considering this as a gift, I wouldn't buy a used model anyway.



  If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's still 
obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying on Amazon as 
opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come up with another gift 
idea.



  Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work with 
controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

  Hi Alan,
  If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to 
get the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes 
it a good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile 
buttons on the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could 
make yourself a braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, 
I do have the Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can 
do is adjust the cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If 
you just have the one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to 
remember the various amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on 
what operation you want to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button 
to advance or decrease the amount of time.

  You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, 
you can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are 
a whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those 
things make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can 
be changed by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I 
have done. You do have to pair the device, which means before you can do 
anything with the app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start 
the process. And I honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a 
section for recipes. I never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I 
always go to the one that says dashboard. That is where you can decide what 
sort of cooking you want and set the various parameters accessibly. You can 
do a lot with these things, and I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind 
for different things as many people on the huge Insta pot facebook group 
have done.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Kay Malmquist]

The app allows you to set the type of cooking you want to do, how much 
pressure (high or low), how long you want it to cook, if you want, you can 
load recipes, go to keep warm function or cancel in the middle of a function 
and a bunch more thing that I am not thinking about right now.  You can also 
check temperatures, how much duration you have left, pressure levels and 
other things that you just can't do without the app.  As a blind person I 
wouldn't have it any other way.  Yes, you can use it without the app, but 
you are guessing and once the program is under way, you have no idea of what 
actually is going on.  I really do love my instant pot.  Cooking is a blast 
with it and you can cook things that might have taken all day before in just 
a couple of hours or less.  Stews and soups taste great and are in my 
opinion even better than when slowcooked.  Although, you can use the Instant 
pot in slow cook mode if you like.  I have and will continue to enjoy the 
instant pot and the app.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I posted last November that there is a new InstantPot (relatively new) which 
has a dial and it certainly is not accessible for bvlind people. I think it’s 
very user friendly for a sighted person and I gave it to the manager at my 
retail store and his wife as a wedding gift.
At that time I called InstantPot and asked about the “smart” bluetooth model 
and the guy I spoke with advised me not to buy it since a new bluetooth 
InstantPot was supposed to come out in the first quarter of 2018. We are a few 
weeks past the end of the first quarter and I have not seen it yet (just looked 
the other day). I was planning to call them again, once I do I’ll post a 
message and report what I was told.
Maybe they ran into an issue which delayed production, I mean if Tesla can’t 
manage to make enough of the Model 3 and Elon Musk himself is sleeping at the 
factory micro-managing everything one can probably forgive InstantPot if they 
are a bit late *smile*.

Sieghard

Thanks for the tip on that book by Melissa Clark, Penny. I don’t believe I have

But this is not a cooking list, so I will not go on and on. Nice to see you

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Steve Matzura]

Thanks, Penny. I did get a couple pressure-cooker books from Bookshare 
when I first got the pot, but I don't remember that specific one. Will 
download it forthwith.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Steve Matzura]

Thanks, Mary. I do use the old one without Bluetooth without difficulty. 
You're right, though, it requires knowing what buttons you're pushing 
before you start in to pushing them. LOL. That's not really a problem, 
although because I don't use it every day or even every week, I have to 
relearn it every time. While that's not a problem hfor me, yes, the 
accessible remote control of the appliance would be nice. If I ever 
needed a new one, I think I'd go for the one with Bluetooth capability .

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Penny Reeder]

Hi, I have been using the Instant Pot for about a year. I think I use
it at least once a week, and I really enjoy using it. I can't imagine
not having the blue tooth connectivity. Not only does it make setting
all of the seetings -- including function, time, level, etc. --
possible, but the IOS connectivity lets you keep track of what the
Instant Pot is doing. I definitely recommend paying the extra money
for the blue tooth connectivity and access to the IOS app.

As for new features, I read that the new model allows for higher
pressure -- high enough to allow people use it for canning fruits and
vegetables.

HTH,
Penny

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Hi Les,
You know, I heard the same thing about a new pot that was coming out. I heard 
they came out with something, and then there was a recall. I also know there 
was one that came out that was not good for us, and I’m not sure if that was 
the one that was recalled. So in short, I don’t know. I had also heard that 
stock of the older models was running short, but I did not hear that 
specifically about the Bluetooth model. Frankly, were I sighted, I don’t know 
that I would’ve paid the extra for the Bluetooth. But I would not be without 
it, since memorizing all that stuff at this point in my life is frankly beyond 
my pay grade. Smile. 
And thank you for your good wishes about my treatment. I guess it was 
successful, so far, except I am left with really bad neuropathy in my feet, 
which means I can’t use my guy dog and have lost all independent mobility 
outside of the house. That is difficult to take.
Mary

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Steve Matzura]

This is very interesting. Someone else with whom I corresponded on this 
topic told me they didn't think having the iOS access and accessibility 
was worthwhile. With all you mentioned, I can't possibly imagine how my 
correspondant could have thought that.

Hi List,

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the 
Instant Pot and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I 
read the Instant Pot app description and it seems to talk more about 
recipes as opposed to controlling the device with the app. Can anyone 
who uses an Instant Pot give me some direction on what the app allows 
you to do and whether it's accessible? Is there a particular Instant 
Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control over it?


Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Mary,

First of all, and most importantly, I hope you are doing well. I hope the 
treatment you had to go through went well for you. Regarding the instant pot, I 
had a question. I thought I read that that was going to be a new model coming 
out this year which was going to have some added benefit for us. But I don’t 
recall if that ever hit the market. Do you know anything about this? Thank you.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to get 
the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes it a 
good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile buttons on 
the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could make yourself a 
braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, I do have the 
Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the 
cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the various 
amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what operation you want 
to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button to advance or decrease the 
amount of time.
You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, you 
can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are a 
whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that 
says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort of cooking you want and 
set the various parameters accessibly. You can do a lot with these things, and 
I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many 
people on the huge Insta pot facebook group have done.

Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Alan Lemly]

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot
app description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to
controlling the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give
me some direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's
accessible? Is there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to
obtain app control over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

 

Alan Lemly
