- How to easily cook frozen veggies in the Instant Pot, without turning them to mush! Meal prep tips!
This is the silicone steamer basket that I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
I have a tip for you. Immediately after taking them out put hot veggies in a strainer and rinse with cold water. That stops the cooking process from the heat. And it freshens up the color of your veggies. They stay fresher and not as soft from continuing to cook from the heat on them. Works for me
Thank you! Much more simple than I knew. Simple!! Terrific
Glad to see a cook has counter tops like mine. I love having my appliances handy. So my most used , like air fryer is always on my counter. My coffee pot and my insta pot.
People are ignorant pay them no mind. I came to this video to learn how to cook frozen vegetables in my instant pot. You showed me that and thats what matters. Great job, thank you!
EcClair Mayo thank you!
I've been using a pressure cooker all my life (stovetop now electric) and never knew you could prop your top. I usually drip all the way to the sink. Great insight. Thanks
Wow these comments are terrible. I like the way you talk and find it very soothing. Thank you for taking the time to educate us because I am always looking for new tips and ideas. Please come back!!
Friendly Franny - you are so kind, thank you! That is encouraging. 💕
I just followed your video on frozen veggies-they turned out perfectly! Thank you for showing me!
Thanks for these videos. I just binged watched and made lentil soup, peanut butter cookies, and am really encouraged to see how I can steam frozen vegetables. I just got an Insta Pot.
I just got an Instant Pot and was wondering how long to cook my Costco frozen normandy vegetables :) I was envisioning a pot full of mush, so, I'm really glad that I found YOUR video! Thank you for taking the time to make it
Thank you, glad you found it helpful! I made this video a couple of years ago, so I don’t remember if I mentioned that it should be on low pressure. I found that “steam” > “low pressure” > “0-1 minutes works best. (Quick release.)
I like the way you and your family do dinner. I will consider doing something like this for my mine.
THANK YOU! This was so helpful!!
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice job. I enjoyed it and learned some tips. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your detailed and Wonderful Tour in your or private kitchen showing us how the instapot pressure cooker can be used. I have become widower recently unexpectedly and your videos help me manage my healthy diet needs
Thanks for the info. I will give it a try.
Thanks. I was in the middle of making a frozen cauliflower curry when I started this video. I now expect that it will be overcooked, but at least I will know why!
Good video. I just brought a 8qt instant pot and plan on cooking vegetables, baked potatoes and a whole chicken to start.
Thank you! I've had my pressure cooker for a couple of months and am timid about using it. I must have a cheap one because I didn't get the insert pot. I appreciate the tip on the strainer and meal prep. I look forward to any other suggestions you might have.
I just got mine I found this video trying to see about making frozen veggie soup I don't want to have to use oil all the time in it
Great video, loved it. It's exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Thanks, helpful demonstration.
💕 I found your comment answering another comment about you trying to hurry the pressure release; thank you for clearing it up. 😊 I wish other's had looked as well ! 😏
I love the way you cook your things ahead of time for your family ! I'll bet you have a very nice family, you sound like such a nice mom !! I'll be looking for more of your videos. 💗👋🏼
Thank you for such kind words, that means a lot to me! I appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment and you have encouraged me! I haven’t made any videos in a while but maybe I will again soon. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from sharing this video, what to do and what not to do! Thank you again and Happy New Year!!
Good video. I live by those words. "IT'LL BE OK. IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT."
Thanks for this video EoG, some very helpful tips!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I was looking for info on how to use the Instant Pot to steam veggies and found this. I'm glad you have thick skin. No one can offend you unless you choose to take the offense. Good job.
Thank you for sharing!
wow i didn’t know about the cover slots! cool thanks, enjoyed the vid
I like that green silicone trivet!
I can't find that design of trivet on Amazon.... did else anyone see it? What is the brand or model name
@@successandlifestyle they sell it at Target...it’s a silicone steamer
I heard you just fine and the sound quality was awesome for your first video. Also thanks for helping make my life easier. ♥️
Thank you!
Good video. I haven't tried frozen vegetables yet. I haven't used the steam function either. However, I noticed high pressure for fresh veg for 3 minutes with a quick release gives a nice texture- slightly firm. Don't worry about presentation- it's just fine. "Umms and hmms" don't bother me. Results do. I also plan to try a variation of your lentil soup method soon too.
Thank you. Awesome info!!!
Good tips. Thanks!
Just caught ur video. Had my IP for a year & hadn't used it much because of such poor recipes. They're getting better, thank goodness. Thank u for inviting the world into ur home! I bet the ones that only offer offending remarks hadn't thought of that and don't have anything to offer to anyone. Yr info is a great help in making me more comfortable using my IP. Don't let anyone discourage you from continuing to make videos. The more u do the better u get & the more money u make! God bless!
Thank you!
Thank u this helped me!
Thanks for the info about frozen veggies in the Instant Pot! I don’t care for mushy veggies either but sometimes don’t have fresh ones. Darn I wish I had seen this before because I was at Costco yesterday. Now I need to look up your cheese sauce😉
Great video! 🙂👍🏼I just got an instant pot and have been looking for all the tips and tricks. Thank you and keep the videos coming.
I don't understand all the haters in the comments. You gave useful information. I've had my instant pot for a couple of years and I keep putting the time lower and lower for the veggies. I never thought to put it on zero thanks for the tip.
I feel the same way! I appreciated her video. I learn from everyone!
I just made a bag of frozen Green Beans in my Instant Pot. They came out great thanks to you.
nuno maher what setting
I love the instant pot! I love this way of eating/cooking! I love being a vegan. Thanks so much for all you do Eden! Just keep on.....❤️
*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*
Glad I found you. Mine always get too soft.
Thanks for showing me how to cook my Costco Normandy Veg. I was just concerned you might scald yourself turning the valve with your fingers. Anyone watching, to be safe, please use a wooden spoon or laden to release the steam.
Thanks to you and.mom
Hi Eden. Thank you for your helpful video. You mentioned your cheese sauce. Could you share your recipe? Thank you again, and be well :)
I was the 667th like 😇👼 lol!
Just bought my instant pot today. I meal prep all the time and the George foreman isn't cutting it. Thank you for your videos!
Ayyyeee I did the same thing with mine and that’s why I’m here lol
I wish I could hear you better. I have my sound turned all the way up. I just turned on the closed captioning and that helps me to know what you are saying. I second the suggestion of getting a mic. This information about the frozen veggies in the Instant Pot is just what I needed today. Thanks!
Unfortunately, the closed captioning is not working for me. Those subtitles are only available here in Spanish. I checked it out in the options list. No other languages are offered. ;(
Diane Neary thank you, I apologize for the sound quality and the captioning. This was my first video that I ever made/uploaded, and I have since learned many things! I didn’t realize that the captions were in Spanish only until after I uploaded the video. I am unable to edit the video and correct the sound quality now unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate the feedback :)
I can't find your video explaining how you make your cheese sauce. Can you share the link? I'd like to try that
Thank you
It’s ok to go to the max line as long as whatever you are cooking does not expand, like rice.
Love the cheese sauce idea.. Sunflower seeds... Whoda thought🤗
Driving me nuts with that bag!
Will someone please tell me how long the cooking lasted and at which pressure?
Use the high-pressure setting and set the time to Zero minutes, then Quick release. It takes a few minutes to reach pressure, perhaps 2 to 5. The pot will beep when it's reached zero minutes, and then you push the pressure release valve to let the steam out.
great video. Thanks. Your really down to earth and not commercially. Perect
Elwood Hurrin - thank you! That is really encouraging.
Eden of Garden your welcome
Thanks for the video. I'm using my Instant Pot for the first time. My I P SV DUO has the choice of HIGH and LOW and also LESS, NORMAL and MORE. I have the same frozen veggies as you except I want to mix them with some frozen cilantro won tons that I picked up at COSTCO also. If I put it on steam for twenty minutes on High and normal is that OK, or do I use LESS?
Well, I did it on Twenty minutes High Normal. Made mush. Did another run for ten minutes, and mush again. I'm going for five minutes with the same setting next time. I used the trivit that came with it and put one of those steamer things that splay out on the top it.
Hi, sorry I’m not familiar with that exact model of Instant Pot - I would suggest the least amount of pressure and for the least amount of minutes. If that is not enough, try one minute. Hope that helps!
@@gloveboxsandwiches Yeah, no problem that you caused really. I thought that when you said you came back after twenty minutes that you had set the minutes even though I didn't see you set them.I should have just done as you showed and not set any minutes. I did that on my third batch and it came out just fine. Thanks.
Glad it worked out!
You SHOULD NOT be jiggling it at pressure release. You realize youre dealing with a bomb right? Its under pressure and youre trying to pry off the seal when its pressurized. Nobody else should do this.
552mustang - yes, thank you. This video was one of my first videos and I’ve since come to learn that I shouldn’t try to turn the lid until the valve has completely dropped. I wish I could go back and edit my video, but UA-cam doesn’t allow that. Thank you for the disclaimer- I agree with you.
TV
Call the bomb squad 💣
My Instant Pot directions says not to fill over 2/3.And also if it expands (like beans) not to fill it more than half. That said, appreciate your directions with frozen veggies! Thanks. (I’m a newbie)
Hi what method do you use to reheat the veg during the week?
Claire Shaw either stovetop or microwave. Some people don’t use a microwave, but I do. The stovetop works well too. Just add a little water or broth to keep it from sticking, and cover the lid.
Can you cook frozen veggies and chicken together in the insta pot?
Where did u get the utensil holder?
I blew up mine after I got married with the old stove top pressure cooker. It had a chicken in it and some how that chicken ended up sticking to my ceiling . What a mess. My insta pot is great.
You love to cook, that's a nice thing for any family!
I checked out some of you who made bad comments and guess what ? None of you haters have any videos posted of yourselves doing anything! So until you take the wheel and drive yourself sit in the backseat and shut up! Thanks for video.
Frank Benton thank you 😊
@Frank B I appreciate a man stepping up to defend a woman from bully meanies! Thank you! 😍❤😊
Great job!
Thank you! This was my very first video and I’ve learned a lot since then. I appreciate your comment and encouragement!
@@gloveboxsandwiches You're welcome!
I'd definitely let the vegetables cool before sealing the lids on those containers.
How long do you cook these vegetables?
Sheena Shackelford press “steam ‘0’”
Do you still use 1 cup of water if you're using a smaller amount of vegetables?
The0ceanwave I’ve never tried a smaller amount of vegetables, but I believe with the Instant Pot you need at least ½- 1 cup of liquid in order for it to come to pressure, regardless of how much food you put in it.
@@gloveboxsandwiches oh, did you add water in this video, I didn't see it, how much did you add please, thanks..
I spy a Pyrex butterprint mixing bowl in the background 😍😍😍
Nicola G - YES! I love vintage Pyrex and have a collection of bowls and baking dishes. I'm always on the lookout for them in thrift stores. I haven't learned the names of the patterns though!
Can you please share the recipe for your cheese sauce? Thanks!
Wow. People are mean. I thought you did great! I loved your tips. I thought your talking was fine. Thank you for being so real with us. :)
You're mistaking "mean" for "honesty". The comment section is for good & bad feedback. If you have thin-skin you can turn off the comments. You probably shouldn't move to Arizona either.....the honesty would bruise your ego quickly. JMHO
Nikki Sonney thank you! I really appreciate it!
What a cool lady. I love this...
OXO Good Grips Silicone Steamer.... they don't use the word trivet on Amazon "steamer"
i tried the 20 min, as you suggested on steam..but made the veggies too soft and they are mushy. Would 10 min would have been better?
Beth W - select “steam” and adjust the time down to 0. The 20 minutes I’m referring to in the video is how long it takes the Instant Pot to reach full pressure. Hope that helps!
Eden of Garden
after the 20 minutes to come to pressure, how long to they steam?
@@shelly5596 ZERO minutes.
@@shelly5596 Guess I was about 7 months late, huh? LOL...Just noticed that.
tyvm for sharing, greatly appreciated. Some editing would help improve your video. All the best!
I didn't get how many minutes it took to cook all those Costco veggies from that entire bag! (you are adventurous!) How long did it take? I was addicted to this video - and I actual found it kind of funny - you have an untapped talent!
Robert Kushner - thanks! It probably takes around 15 minutes total maybe? (If you use boiling hot water and a preheated hot Instant Pot.)
Thank you! I'm just curious, if it's ok to ask - do you guys live anywhere near Los Angeles? The way you speak is pretty much exactly like me, and you even look like you would belong in our family!! Whatever the case - good luck to you and happy cooking. Take care, Rob.
Dang it's like you need a full flame suit for these comments. Nice vid, didn't mind the homely talk. One suggestion though: make mention that leaving the Instant Pot on "0" means it will be ready when the pot comes to pressure. I just got an IP Duo and am still learning to use it.
I couldn’t hear you clearly when you spoke of how long to time IP on steam. Will you add that to description?
I even rewinded to listen again but couldn’t catch it. Thank you!
Stephanie Swann steam “0” minutes and quick release
Steam - LOW pressure, for “0” mins. Quick release.
Would the stainless basket be ok to use instead ?
Yes! I actually switched to a stainless basket a while back and prefer it over the silicone one.
Eden of Garden love that basket. Very versatile. Down here on the Gulf we even use it to fry small amounts of shrimp, oysters and scallops
Nice! I use it for potatoes as well. It makes for such an easy clean up.
Can you put the cheese sauce on video for us. I’m bad at making cheese sauce
I love your mushy attitude. Your videos are great and an inspiration to this 70 year old man to start cooking for himself.
I'm 70 she is annoying, but I did learn from her.
It sounds as if you're trying to be healthy, but did you know if you put hot things into plastic containers, the food leaches out the chemicals like PCBs and hormone disruptors from the plastic? Cool or cold food won't do that, but glass is best.
Thank you, we’ve since switched to glass containers. This video was made in 2017.
dont you loose the nutrients in the leftover water. how can I avoid that ? thanks
You can actually drink the water (Chef AJ just puts it in a thermos and drinks it!) or you could save the water in the refrigerator and use it as a broth for soups or other meals.
@@gloveboxsandwiches thanks that's really helpful : )
Is this on high pressure?
Jahaira Luzzi it was on “steam 0 mins”
Yeah I don’t get that part either like wait what so zero minutes on what less normal more and leave it in there for 20 minutes?
Sorry for the super late reply! Lately I’ve been doing “steam 0” at LOW pressure,, quick release. It steams it without turning it too soft. Because most of the vegetables are reheated, this timing/pressure is perfect, so the vegetables don’t get overcooked when reheating.
If you fill the Instant Pot full of frozen vegetables, it will typically take around 20 minutes to reach pressure. If you put less vegetables, it will reach pressure faster.
I think your video is great. The haters (keyboard warriors) aren't obligated to watch your work, thus they shouldn't complain. You've been awesome and have taught me a lot. Keep up the awesome work!
Jamie Graham thank you! That is so kind of you, I really appreciate your words!
It was kind of hard to hear you. Thanks for sharing.
Damn, that Kirkland Normandy bag lasts like 2 months for me and she completely emptied it in the Instant Pot, lol!!
Not everyone is a single loser who can't get chicks.
@@captainbuzzkill4658 Or a Trumpster like you who eats more than a hog.
@@Albertojedi You had to go back and edit your comment? 😂
Oh I just noticed you're old. Never mind.
@@captainbuzzkill4658 And? Does being an inmature nosy and ugly millenial that hides behind a Captain "Real Kill" avatar makes you any better? Go mind your own business and do something productive. Nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion from the start.
You seem like a nice lady with some great information, I think doing videos is sometimes a challenge. My feedback would be get a wireless mic on Amazon so we can hear you. I thought it could be dangerous to wiggle the lid back and forth, maybe not for you but if someone opens it under pressure they could be injured. It seems there was a lot of "extra" talking about stuff that didn't matter. Nervous talk. Don't give up, keep going.
real people would wiggle the lid and her doing so shows that you are not going to die from doing so
@Michelle Shelton. Thank you for being such an expert. I don't think the world would've survived with out your critical nature. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
for a moment i thought it was a ''just for laughs'' video
Are you the lady from Just for Laughs?
thanks for the info/video.... i promise i'm not trying to pick on you but i did have kind of a hard time hearing you tho.... i had my volume up all the way and it still seemed like your mike was too far from you. the noise from the bag of veggies was drowning you out some also.
Please be careful with that pressure on the li!🥰
I tried this exactly as shown (with the same bag of Costco veggies) and they were too mushy. Made another batch on LOW pressure for 20 minutes and they were perfect.
I should clarify - it was 20 minutes on low pressure, but the stopper never rose. So don't set it for 20 minutes, just keep an eye on the clock!
This was very helpful. Thanks! I'm new to the Instant Pot world.
I know it's been mentioned below, but I just wanted to give my take. With all of the other sounds, your voice gets kinda lost. I had to keep my ear to the speaker but then I couldn't watch what u were doing.
Maybe, perhaps, if u haven't already, look into a collar Mic or even dubbing ur voice over the video with editing.
YOU have so much great advice, and I would live to be able to hear and see it. Just some thoughts.
If you need help with learning to edit or even finding editing software, pls message me. If live to help.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Can't hear anything your saying. Heard the bag rustling loud and clear.
I heard her just fine and I am sick and have a clogged head she did fine
So it took 20 minutes at 0 time to get your vegetables pressure cooked?
Ricardo Valls - since this video, I've learned how to speed up the process. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode to "preheat" the heating element before putting anything into the pot. Wait until it says "hot" on the digital readout (happens quickly) then add vegetables and boiling water. I've streamlined steaming my vegetables down to around 10 minutes now. 👍🏼
Pressure cookers build pressure by boiling water. Think of frozen food in the pot like an ice cube in the pot. In order to build pressure the food has to at least mostly thaw before pressure can build since it'll be taking heat from the water and steam. The timer doesn't start until it's reached pressure (on 0 minutes, it beeps as soon as pressure is reached).
You don't need to add boiling water. Put water in the pot and hit saute, hit adjust so saute is in high mode and the n you can add veggies to the strainer with the already boiling water.
Put in Veggies .. add cup of water press steam set to 0 ... release pressure... done .... 15 minutes in one sentence...
These are not washed before cooking them
Did she say that she steamed vegetables at numbers zero with that do anything I just got my instant pot don't you have to put some kind a number in there she was confusing me
shelia french - when you steam you can actually select "0" as a number, that was surprising to me as well when I first started out with my Instant Pot! By the time it heats up by bringing it to pressure, it doesn't need any time on steam. You may like them more cooked though, so do a little trial and error, some people steam them for 1 minute but my family likes 0. Thanks for watching!
shelia french no you can put it on zero and once the pot gets to pressure it goes into warm or natural pressure release
Robert Greenhouse thank you sweetie, these instant pot they can do so much and I’ve just barely scratched the surface of what to do with mine but I do absolutely 😍 love it
You are sooooo cute! Love the way you talk!😀😘😘😘 And your for like a real sweetheart,not some fake ass bullshit woman! Ya I love ya your cool!😀 Good Job! Nice smile too!
Schmedly Whiplash thank you for the encouraging words! 😊
Eden of Garden Nope just the truth honey! Fact!😀😘

I click the LIKE button on the video because I learned one thing from your video but I am very sorry to say this but you say mmmmm ammmm hmmmm so much that I couldn't watch the video until the end.
No big deal. Results count imo.
