After too much time on YouTube, I now want to try making pumpernickel bread in a pressure cooker. But my current Instant Pot Nova Plus (a Costco purchase) lists, in its manual, the "Working Temperature: 239 -244 Fahrenheit" for pressure cooking programs (possibly too hot). For Slow Cook function on the "More" mode, the temperature listed is 200-210 Fahrenheit (possibly not quite hot enough). In a YouTube video, 212 Fahrenheit is listed as the pumpernickel baking temperature, after first being preheated to 300 degrees in a regular oven. It looks like my available Instant Pot settings may not quite cut it. A YouTube commenter stated that they successfully bake (cook?) their pumpernickel in a Ninja Foodi on low pressure for 18 hours. If anyone is interested in the pumpernickel in a pressure cooker experiment, search YouTube for "What Was Pumpernickel? The 2-Ingredient Bread That Lasted 6 Months" and start at 18:20 for the cooking/"baking" instructions. I'll probably order some cracked rye from Bluebird Grain Farms in Washington state and run an empirical experiment in my old Instant Pot.
