📌 How to use delayed timer button to cook meals ahead of time using  instant pot ? 

“Save time with this easy Instant Pot Delayed Timer Hack! ⏰ When I know I won’t have time in the morning, I plan ahead using the delay start feature. It’s perfect for cooking pulses or grains like whole moong (mag) and rice, which often need soaking. You can use this method during daily routine so the food is ready by the time you come home from work.

Here’s how I do it:
- [ ] Prepare your ingredients by washing the grains (mung beans and rice) 
- [ ] The night before set your Instant Pot on saute mode and add oil, tadka, mung beans with water, spices and salt, water and mix it 
- [ ] Then hit cancel button 
- [ ] Place the trivet and then place washed rice on it using smaller pot 
- [ ] Cover the rice 
- [ ] Hit the ‘Delay Start’ or ‘Timer’ button and select in how many hours you want it to start 
- [ ] Factor in the cooking time and an extra 30 minutes for natural pressure release.
- [ ] Turn on the Keep Warm button so it stays hot when it’s ready 
In this video, I set it at 10:40 PM for an 8 AM meal. With an 8-hour delay, cooking begins at 6:40 AM. After 15-20 minutes of cooking and a 30-minute release, it’s fresh and ready by 7:30 am when I pack my son’s lunch box .
