Instant Pot is equipped with a pressure sensor under the heating element. When the working pressure is reached, heating stops. When the pressure is lower than desired working pressure, heating restarts. This maintains pressure at a certain range, see attached diagram. This pressure is not strong enough to lift the steam release. Therefore, there is no steam coming out during cooking.
