Note:

Pressure cooker needs to come to pressure before it actually starts cooking. This takes time and it may vary depending on what meal you are going to cook in it (Most of the meals I cooked in my 6-quart/6-liter instant pot took about 10 minutes).

This time is not included in the overall cooking time as it is the same as pre-heating the oven before you can actually bake something in it.

However, I test all my recipes several times and try to state in each one of them the approximate time, so you can take this into consideration when planning your meals.
