Sieghard,

 

Thanks and thanks also for posting that detailed list of the Instant Pot models 
on Amazon. I'll watch for your post with info about their upcoming Bluetooth 
model.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Caitlyn Furness]

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.

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.

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

Subject: RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

 

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.

 

Alan Lemly

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.

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.

[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

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

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.

 

Alan Lemly

$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.

If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's

Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work

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.

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.

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

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.

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*.

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

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]

The app that you want to download to control the instant pot via bluetooth is 
Smart Cooker”. The other instant pot app is indeed, just an app with different 
recipes.

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.

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

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Thanks for the tip on that book by Melissa Clark, Penny. I don’t believe I have 
that one. I have certainly got enough other ones. Sigh. I guess I’m not very 
adventurous. I have tried rice several times, and never ever comes out well. 
But this is not a cooking list, so I will not go on and on. Nice to see you 
here.

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 .

Steve and Mary, I am a member of the regular Instant Pot Facebook
Group. There are several other blind people on this group, and the
group's members have been very helpful to me every time I've had a
question.

BTW, there are quite a few books at BookShare that cover pressure
cooking recipes as well as those specifically concerning the Instant
Pot and other electric pressure cookers. The best, I think, is Melissa
Clark's "Dinner in an Instant." Clark is one of the best food writers
for the NYTimes, and all the recipes I have tried in the book have
turned out extremely well!

Happy cooking, all, and Mary, I always love hearing from you.

Hi Steve,
I certainly do know a blind people who have the model that is not Bluetooth. 
There is actually a Facebook group of blind folks, and that topic of the 
instant pot comes up a good deal. The group is called Enabled Kitchen, if that 
interests anyone. Since I shut down my Facebook account, I am no longer a 
member. You can certainly adjust things like the time of cooking with the 
“more“ or less ““ buttons. You just have to remember or have written down 
somewhere what time you’re starting with and how much each press of a button 
ads or subtracts from the time. So, I’m sure it is doable. But I really like 
the ability to convenience of the iOS app. They also have an android app. But 
I’m not sure how accessible it is.

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

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.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

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.
