Use Instant Cook to turn Instant Pot's famous "press and forget" technology into "talk and walk." Now what was once dinner at the press of a button is even easier, as you control your pressure cooker with a simple statement from anywhere Alexa can hear you.
Currently, only the Instant Pot Smart WiFi can be controlled by voice, but new connected models of Instant appliances are on the way.
The basic command to use your Instant Pot through Alexa is "Alexa, pressure cook for 10 minutes."
Choose which Instant Pot to control by calling it by the name you assign to it during WiFi pairing, for example "My Instant Pot".
With all cooking programs, you should specify the length of time to cook. You may also specify which program to use (default is pressure cook, other programs include soup, meat, beans, cake, rice, etc.), level (default is high, also low), and device (by name given when pairing to Instant Pot App).
Pressure Cook: "Alexa, pressure cook for 10 minutes" "Alexa, pressure cook for 30 minutes on low"
Preset Smart Programs: "Alexa, cook soup in My Instant Pot" "Alexa, cook meat for 15 minutes" "Alexa, cook cake for 30 minutes on low"
Cancel: "Alexa, stop My Instant Pot"
We are constantly working on upgrades and improvements to our products, so you should expect more options for the Instant Cook Skill in the future.
Instant Pot Alexa commands are ideal for incorporating into routines. For example, you could create an Alexa routine to set your morning alarm so that at the same time it wakes you up, Alexa tells you the local weather, turns your bedroom light on to 50% dimness, turns up the heat, starts your coffee maker, and begins pressure cooking the oatmeal you put into your Instant Pot last night for 4 minutes.
Or maybe you arrive home after work and say "Alexa, I'm home" to trigger your arrival routine: Alexa gives you a news update, then plays music, turns on some lights, turns up the heat, and starts cooking dinner in your Instant Pot.
