The temperature of the Keep Warm setting claims to range between 140-172 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Instant Pot manual. But in reality, it doesn't even kick in until the food temp drops to 140-145F and keeps it there. That is okay short term for no more than about 2-4 hours, depending on what you are trying to keep warm. But longer than that (rice for instance), you face increasing risk.
