I don’t know how to explain it, but your way of speaking is really calming. You talk like an actual person and not like a cooking show robot. I found this video so helpful, not only because of the information but because of the way you delivered it. I would literally watch any show you had on television.
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "delicious instant pot recipes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Penaniel Foremost Primacy - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )?
It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to use great pot recipes to make a delicious meal without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Agree!!!
Agree
I agree! I really like here down to Earth demeanor.
I thought the same thing, what a delightful presentation!
Finally Ifound someone who could explain ALL the steps to using a pressure cooker -- excellent job!! I would watch your cooking videos any time. You would make an excellent teacher!
Thanks so much for the comments, Lisa! We have some more instructional videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLYkiy1Yq3PWvX4RFCSshjC7O2l_C2y9-g.html
its kind of absurd this thing doesn't have some other message instead of "ON" when it starts.. its pretty screwed up you have to listen for a "click"... there is enough lights and buttons this should be simple. Not sure who designed this thing, he needs slapped up side the head. even a "warm" or something would be good. they don't want you to know it takes another 20 minutes to cook your "25" minute meal i guess...
Thank you
Thanks for the instruction, I admit to being a little intimidated with the Instant pot. Appreciate your help.
Loved this video. Its like you talked "to me", not "Down to me". And the step by step walkthrough was easy to follow. The video was 14 minutes, but it felt like 5 (no wasted chit chat or unfunny jokes). Even your recipes of the two dishes were simple and easy. You come off like every average person and that is refreshing. I learned a few things from this video. Thank you
Yes! Well done. Straight to the point! Love that!
I've not used mine yet, but you make me more confident that I
can do this. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
It has helped so much.
I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to take the time to say this is my FAVORITE video on how to use your Instant Pot. Couldn't be more clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!
Thank you. You probably saved someone from the type of serious injury your friend suffered. The stew looked yummy.
Thank you Michele!
Michele Of The Oaks I agree that she definitely saved someone or many people from being injured! THANK YOU!!!
You

The BEST instant pot tutorial, finally. Thanks for explaining in such detail and your personality just made it all the better. Stay well 🙏🏽
i agree. ive been so scared but i want long stews so bad
Just cool!! Thank you.
How is it the best tutorial? She literally says forget the other functions and use it solely as a pressure cooker.. she is either lazy or too stupid to explore the other cooking methods this can do..
Hell i have a stove top pressure cooker and a crockpot.. i know they do similar things at drasticallly different times but it would be nice to demo the different functions of the machine..
Agreed, a great tutorial! I went to the InstaPot website and it doesn't even have product descriptions let alone product how-to's. I'll admit, I've never owned a crock pot/slow cooker or used a pressure cooker. I've always been afraid to try the latter (and still haven't made my mind up if I even need one). But this tutorial even helped me address that. Her description (after showing the photos of her friend's burned arm) of how to avoid steam burns gives me more confidence in how to keep it from blowing sky high! I also learned here that there is lots of steam, that I can't put it on my countertop with wood shelves above. Good point because it will have to set the pot on my stovetop (exhaust fan above).
No nonsense cooking demo...informative and to the point but in a very real way... appreciate that so much! Would love to get demos on baking cakes and banana bread and puff pastry either on Instant Vortex air fryer and on Instant Pot if possible there too...thank you for your videos! You are refreshing in many ways!
I am 68 and tech challenged. Thank God for my granddaughter - I would of never found the internet on my first Iphone. Now my daughter has got me an instant pot for Christmas and yes it is still in the box. I guess it would be wrong to take it back to the store and get a refund so I am going to try to do pulled pork thanks to your tutorial.
I am 66 and also tech challenged. I got a pressure cooker for Christmas too and this will be a challenge. Thank you for the cautions on the pressure device. I look forward to trying out what will feed me healthier, faster.
I feel so much better about using my instant pot and I love your teaching method. So easy to listen to and understand.
Totally on point what I was going to say. I got an instant pot thru offer up for $15 but no instructions I was still confused about the venting till I watched this I did start to cook some meats in it being unsure even with you tube video want as easy to watch as her presentation. Thank you girl I can use my pot now with confidence.
Yes she is a great teacher for insta pot. I really needed to learn the button procedure
Thank you! I've had my pot over a year and never used it, because I was scared. I guess I wasn't the only one... LOL!!! You're instructions are honest and no nonsense. Great video... and recipes.
This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you. ❤
There's definitely a learning curve for older people.
I mean I'm 25 and I needed something to tell me what to do so I can be sure I'm using the thing correctly. If you haven't used a pressure cooker before I imagine there's a learning curve no matter what do you do. Hopefully you're making very nice foods in it though :)
I've used a pressure cooker since I was 19 (I'm 79 now) and was hesitant about the instapot. I've heard good and bad and most videos make it look complicated. Thanks to your extremely well done video instructions, I'm ready to buy one. I'll be watching and learning from your videos too. By the way, when I was 21, I started my pressure cooker, phone rang and I forgot about the pressure cooker. The safety valve blew. Peaches all over my ceiling, walls, etc. Although I've never forgot it again - i do learn - it's nice to know the instapot turns it's little self off.
Woah! Peach-explosion.
Thanks for the kind words and for your insights. Good luck with your Instant Pot experience.
LOL I did that also with blackeye peas all over the kitchen , not a good experience but a learning one for sure.
I love your comment mom❤
OK so you've just answered my questions of 'Why bother with an Instant Pot if you could use a pressure cooker instead?'!! I have an old fashioned pressure cooker in the cupboard from an ex that i'm scared to use - with my attention span I had definitely better get an Instant Pot instead!!
I've heard stories of the kid stealing the weight and running away and the ceiling getting a fresh paint job of pea soup.. stuff set like concrete.
Thank you so much, this was a bit of a refresher course for me. I had used it and then didn't for awhile.
I love how you went step by step and all the reminders about the pressure without scaring people to death.
Thank you for teaching, directing and instructing me clearly and timely! My pot roast and veggies were tender to perfection!! I trimmed and cut my roast in medium chunks! I'm so glad I found you today, 7/1/23!! I got mine for Christmas 3 years ago and love it now. I'm an Insta Pot pro and chef, now!! 😂❤👩🏾🍳 Thanks, Well Done
She is easy with the steps and her humour makes it even easier....and so relatable...☺️
Thank you so much Nicole! This was my first time using this scary cooker. I misplaced my instruction booklet but your instructions are easier than the book it came with. My pot roast turned out perfectly after cooking 25 minutes!
Thank you! My husband brought home an Instant Pot yesterday and little did he know the childhood fear he dredged up in my mind. When I was a kid my mom used a pressure cooker and one time it exploded. Thankfully no one was hurt, but food was EVERYWHERE! But after watching your video, I felt brave enough to give it a go. First successful supper in the books and planning more.
Way to go Sightreading Creative !! I have used mine once but ready to rock and roll with it (pressure valve facing away!!) Keep up the good cooking.
Same thing happened to me 20 years ago LOL luckily I wasn’t hurt but there was food everywhere! I just bought the instant pot and I’m putting my fears aside and giving it another shot❤️not gonna lie tho, still a little nervous !
After going through uncountable videos on UA-cam yours just made my life a little more easier.. love how u explain everything and make it short, simple and straight to the point.. thanks mami
OMG! Thank you for SIMPLIFYING the instant pot process w/o ALL the charades & fluff! Just right to the point! I will DEFINITELY be subscribing to your UA-cam channel.
Thanks again for sharing! 🤗💕
I might now consider getting one!!! Thank you for instructions!
THANK YOU...I HAVE HAD MINE FOR A YEAR . NOW I CAN TAKE IT OUT THE BOX AND ATTEMPT TO USE IT!
You can do it!!!
Thank you! This has been the most helpful instructional video for using the different settings and being careful about that steam!
Ive had mine since Christmas of 2018, finally using it today after watching this video!
I’m embarrassed that mine sat there at least a year; it’s easy when you follow her clear steps! Thanks!
@@welldone ru
Oh thank you from the borrom of my cooking heart. I was one of those who bought it, read the warning phamplet enclosed & let it sit in the garage for weeks to afraid to tackle it! Your refreshing calm way of showing and explaining was so needed. Now I feel like I can safely move forward!!
Love your style - the direct and complete info, your relatability, your humor, and your funny shirt and asides ("Mama's getting impatient" - I replayed that twice). I was gifted my first instant pot today, and with your help I'm actually going to use it!
I'm so grateful for this video because I look through UA-cam on like 15 videos that didn't tell me anything about the instant pot until I found you. Thank you so much for being so thorough and helping people out that don't know how to use one of these machines. I really do appreciate it
My wife bought this, has made some great dishes, my first time using it with your video. Thank you for the "No Bullshit" instructions, straight and to the point, YOU ROCK!
LOL Thanks!
Very nice presentation! I'm not as afraid anymore.
I just bought my instant pot I’ve been wanting one for awhile. My sister kept telling me it’s so awesome.Your video is so awesome. You explained so good. Now I’m ready to use it. Thank you so much. Going to check out your great recipes
Excellent demo. I especially appreciate your warnings for burns. Your teaching was easy to understand and clearly illustrated. Yes, it was motivational. Thank you much!
Great video! Love that you didn't do a lot of wasted commentary like most UA-camrs do. I feel better about starting to use my InstaPot now. THANKS.
Agreed! Clear and concise. To the point and now I can just get on with it. I also appreciate the lack of hyperactivity in the presentation. I don't need to be entertained. I need to know how to safely use my Instant Pot! So, THANK YOU! 🙌
Thank you. This was very informative and I'm less afraid of my gift. The food looks amazing and I like how you used the packaged carrots and peas. Like a real mom/person would. I'll watch this a couple more times as I'm still nervous, but I liked your emphasis on safety.
So glad to find this video!! First time instant pot user and this video was easy to understand. Straight to the point about how the instant pot works, easy to understand explanation of cooking time, safety and clean up.
I’ve watched several instant pot videos and this has been the best one. Other videos left out important information. I think I finally understand how this pot works and how to use it safely. Thanks so much!!!
I love how you gave all of the safety instructions and the dangers the instant pot can do to a person. I just got my instant pot a week ago and yes it is still in the box. I did read the instructions and wasn't impressed. I understood everything you said easily. I am going to try stewed chicken with potatoes and carrots. Thenk you for the instuctions and helpful hints.Have a blessed day.
So helpful, thank you so much, I just bought mine yesterday and was afraid from using pressure but you made it clear and easy for me.
This is the best explanation of the instant pot I have ever seen.
Thank you! You made this super easy to understand and you have a great personality!
Thanks for the kind words!
Very well presented ,appreciate the emphasis on saftey
Thank you!
YES thank you for the safety reminders! I could see how someone could easily get burned by this beast!!!
@@welldone why do you sound so strict 😥😢
Please don't spank me mommy 😔
Thank you so much. I got one on the suggestion of a friend but didn't know how to use it - I'm not exactly kitchen friendly which is why my friend suggested it. She said I could cook fantastic bachelor meals simply and quick instead of eating out every night. You are the first person to explain and demonstrate how to use this thing where I feel competent to give it a go and that pulled pork looks delicious.
Great learning video. Explained everything with ease and I understood all of it. Can't thank you enough ☺️❤️
I'm glad I came across your channel I just got one for xmas and can't wait to start using it. All your advice and instructions are so very helpful thank you now the cooking can begin. 🍽
Really great really helpful - you have a good way of conveying important information that is appreciated. Thank you for not making us sit through 4 commercials and then 20 minutes about your life before helping out with needed information.
So so intuitive, I have just got myself one of these and was finding it pretty intimidating as a pensioner but you have made me feel much more confident in using this cooker.
Thank you.
Most helpful video!!! First timer, and you walked through all of it perfectly. I’m more confident after watching this!!! So glad I found you!
I love your insta pot tutorials!
Just got 1 and I love it!
No more mess all over my stove and no more dirty pots and pans all over my sink!
More time to do my gardening and drink my margarita!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment
A million thanks! Got mine Christmas 2019 and never really understood it. The instructions that come with it are terrible. Your explanation is perfect!
Thank you so much! I have had mine for over a year because I didn't know how to use it. I will be watching this video several times to ensure I become familiar with using this... That picture freaked me out and steam is no joke. Thank you for the video!!!
We followed her instructions very carefully and in about 1 hour we were having stew. It was good veg good, meat tender. This is our first try. Very happy.
Thank you so much for making this so easy to understand. You are helping many people to have "family dinner" which is so important for family harmony!
Glad to hear it, and agreed on family dinner
Very well delivered. Definitely took away my anxiety of using mine. Thank you so much!
Awesome I followed your instructions to the Tee. I even repeated some instructions to make sure I got it right. Now it’s pressure cooking and I’m waiting for good results. Thank you so much 🙏❤️
THANK you for getting straight to the point in a NO-NONSENSE fashion. Can't tell you how much I appreciate that! :)
Much appreciated demonstration, especially the safety concerns. I’ll be watching you. Thanks!
Thanks Linda!
I’m so glad I found this video- instant pot should seriously compensate you! Well done 😀
Thank you. You gave me the confidence that I needed. I bought an instant pot 2 years ago, I did not know where to start with it. I gave it to my mother and she has never taken it out of the box. I am going to give it a whirl! Thank you!
Got my pressure cooker in 2020 and decided to use it today 8.11.23 because this video was excellent. You are an excellent teacher. You demonstrated knowledge and skills in the gadget. ❤❤❤
Thanks for the instructions and safety tips👍🏻👍🏻 The stew looks delicious😃💯💯
My Mother use to really warn me of the dangers of a regular Pressure cooker. It’s better to be save than sorry! Cooking areas in general can be hazardous without proper knowledge! You are the best! You didn’t scare me, you educated me!
Thank you for doing such a great job explaining the functions and how to properly use an instant pot.
This is an excellent guide to using the Instant Pot. You explain every detail which is great and answer every question I thought of.
Thank you so much... you said a mouthful when you said people don’t use the instapot because they don’t know how to and that’s totally me. I’m scared to death of this appliance but watching your instruction helped me sooo much!! Great video! Please keep making more recipes for scared people like me 😆
Lol.....I watched this and Im still scared
Thank you so much for this video ! we were totally lost just reading the instructions that came with our insta pot !!!
This is the best video so far I found youtube explaining how to use.Thanks!
I loved this video! This is my first time using my instant pot and I had no clue how to use it until now. All of the other videos were trash! Thank you for this!
Thank you for this. Just got myself an instant pot and been looking at it for a week now. Made chicken broccoli and rice tonight in under 30 minutes!
I use to porridge option to make congee and it's a really neat feature, if there's something that would normally take hours I just just pressure cook now. Recently I made a thick milky bone broth by boiling chicken bones on the manual/pressure cook setting for 40 minutes :) it's great for hearty soups or ramen broth
Nice! Thanks for the comment
I got one for Christmas, sitting in the box, like you said. You did an excellent job explaining how to use this. Someone else commented about your calming voice. I agree. Thank you.
Great tuto, i normally take shortcuts on instructions, but i'm so glad that i watch this video before i purchase the cooker. Thanks again!
Super helpful, straight to the point. Thank you so much for setting exlectations right and make it simple❤
Helpful, lively and informative. Your way of speaking calming :)
Thank You 🙏🏾!!! You saved my life with this Instant Pot. I have received it as a gift from my job. Never use a pressure cooker in my life I thought it was just a regular crockpot shows you how naïve I am. But I’m glad I love the way that you explained this to me very informative very detailed. I will be using this all the time I have the 8 quart instant pot. Thank you so much again.
Am repeatedly watching your video to get comfortable enough to use my new instant pot. You did a great job of explaining!
Thank you so very much. My sister got me one for Christmas and I am excited but nervous. You explained everything very well and the food looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it out now.
L
Great presentation, and you gave answers to question I had before I watched your video... also I like that you magnified the safety tips... very important.
Thanks for the comments! And thank you for watching !
Best Insta Pot instructional I have ever watched. Thank you. You make us all feel relaxed and not stupid! lol
Nothing to do with the video but the way you talk feels relaxing. Thank you for the information shared
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Presentation was very helpful and easy to follow. Would love to see more of her recipes as well as videos during preparing the dish.
I got this instapot last December and decided to try to use it. Reasons you listed-didn't know how, scared of it. I went through all the videos on their website, but could find none that actually explained how to to get it started-simple I know, but I couldn't do it-until-this video!! Thank you so much for understanding what a newbie needs to hear! And I love your personality and delivery! I will be watching more!
Just bought one, thanks for showing how to use it properly and safely. Great job! 👍☺️
I'm almost 70 and haven't used a pressure cooker in YEARS.... You're video really helped me understand how the pressure cooker of my time is like and different from the instant pot. Did you mention how important it is to keep the venting area clean? I wonder if it's as easy to clean as the old pressure cooker was. Thanks.
Thanks! This was very helpful and informative.
Thanks for the kind words!
I particularly needed to know about cleaning the top section.
Yes I agree. I bought mine and couldn't figure out it out and put it away for a year. Thank you, now I can use it.
Your instructions were super thorough and it didn't take long to watch. Other videos seem to assume we know about the total time to get to done but you actually explain it! Thanks a million.
Love your video. I got the Instant Pot for my birthday and did not dare give it a try yet. Now I will, thanks to your instructions!
Thanks for showing me
That was the best tutorial I've ever seen
Right to the point, you're my favorite ❤, I m cooking now 😋 really, amazing to get tight to it!
Thanks so much 😊
Awesome tips for a first timer! Thank you!! I was getting frustrated with other videos that didn’t just focus on the basic facts!
Thanks! Glad the video helps :)
One of the best videos on Instant Pot! Well explained and great photography! Thank you!
Thank you so much, I didn't get instructions with my insta pot my grandson gave it to me, and now thanks to your video I'm feel more comfortable about using it.
That picture scared the crap out of me. I'm going to watch this 20 times.
Instructions with my new IinstantPot say it has a safety feature that the lid stays LOCKED and cannot be removed until pressure is released.
@wonpots I think she is more interested in people not getting hurt than sales.
@@MikeR55 yes, the lastest ones that came out have that but it has been recent :-)
LOL I am not going to say how very many videos I have watched but they were many and till I happened across this one I had not touched my pot it was just collecting dust on the counter but I now have a chicken breast cooking all browned with the saute function and now pressure cooking with water in it and onions, looking forward to having it with supper. Thank you so very much for this video it is more appreciated than you know. God Bless you and yours.
Sold!! Yes, I know you're not selling them but you could! This is what I want for Christmas. Thank you so much for putting this video up so that me and others can know more of what to expect if we buy one. That stew looks so good. I'm hungry, too.
Awesome! Glad I could be of help! - Nicole
Love that u actually, use in real cooking scenarios, and shows us how to clean .. watched 4 different , videos that didn’t get answers .. thxs
Finallyyyyyyyy....Thank You for the set-by-set tutorial. I really appreciate it.
This is the best tutorial. Everything is clear, and as I followed the steps everything happened as it should. I can’t believe it’s taken me since Christmas to use it 🙄
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much. Really helped me a lot. Just bought an InstantPot yesterday and used it today for the first time. ;-))
Excellent! Here are some of our favorite Instant Pot Recipes: ua-cam.com/video/kOAXRpKHdTY/v-deo.html
You seriously have explained this very well. Bravo! I've used this instant pot for years. Thank you for putting this video out for those who've never used one, because you are 100% correct these are NO JOKE, you can get seriously hurt.
I agree with some of the other commenters. You have a pleasing voice. That helps a lot. When I don't hear that in other videos, I find something else. The Instand Pot is intimidating. You calmed some of my concerns.
Why is she my spirit animal ugh love it
good lord, thank you! I just got my instant pot and I'm lost and confused with the user manual. will now go and try one more time to start using it. again thank you.
Yeah the user manual is bad.
Thanks for all the little details I was scared to use mine but after seeing this video felt more confident I will definitely come back to remember I won't forget anything thank you 😊
You are a great teacher. very well done video. I just bought mine yesterday and plan to try your recipe. thank you for the easy instruction and safety tips. Great job.
Have had since Christmas and, yes, I was really scared to use it because I know how dangerous pressure cookers can be. After watching your tutorial, I am confident that I'll be eating boiled dinner; skinless kielbasa, cabbage, carrots, onion and potato. . . with mustard, salt and butter. Can't wait. Thanks again.
Thanks for the comment! We have another Instant Pot recipe video going up later next week. Look out for it!
So how was your boiled dinner?
I LOVE boiled dinner!
Throw in some turnips too 🤤
I had it first time with ham also as you’ve described, a lady in the office I worked would bring it in to share at lunchtime and I fell in love 🥰
