[Small-Appliance-Cooking] wyfy instant pot

Have you been able to actually operate your inatant pot from the app? Thanks
for the info about using the recipes, I just hadn't even worried about that
at this point because I have other recipes already.

It would truly be great to learn how to read recipes with the app. The only
way I've been able to see anything is just to search for something, say
chicken. Then it pulls up a bunch of recipes with chicken in it. I know how
to read the recipe when it comes up; it's just seeing them which is the
problem for me.

Once the recipe comes up, there are tabs on the bottom that you must use to
see the recipe. The information tab gives you an overview of the recipe. The
Basket tab shows you the measurements and ingredients.
The Restaurant tab give you the steps to make the recipe. The Paper tab
allows you to add your own notes or leave a review of the recipe.
Hopefully, this helps out a bit.
