"The Instant Pot is utilized in a slightly different way to cook a pancake. It does not ever come up to pressure...mostly because it has no liquid added to the pot. I was very worried that the pancake would burn badly on the bottom, especially because you cook it for 45 minutes!!! What? Yes, you read that right - 45 minutes! Why on earth would you do that? For exactly the reason that you use the IP for other recipes - you pour the batter into the pot, set it to sealing and 45 minutes, and then walk away. Go cross-country skiing. Go check on a neighbor. Take a little nap. Then have a great breakfast!..."
