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.
I WAS GIVEN AN INSTANT POT WITH NO MANUAL. MOST INTELLIGENT DEMONSTRATION I HAVE SEEN AFTER WATCHING ABOUT 20 VIDEOS. ALL THE YAHOOS DOING "RECIPES" NEED TO INCORPORATE ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND PANEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE "MANY DIFFERENT" MODELS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
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!
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...
I think it’s a good thing you showed the pictures of your poor friend’s injury. That really hit home. I’ll definitely be appropriately cautious. Thanks for a great instruction video.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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
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).
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.
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 !
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!
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!
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!!
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 😆
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’m 66 and have been cooking since I was about 12 or 13. Just got the Instapot as a gift and have never been more intimidated. Chef ur amazing and have “released” my fears. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽
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.
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 :)
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. ❤❤❤
A gandson and granddaughter siblings gave me an Instant Pot for a Christmas gift. I'm over 80 years old and was afraid to use it. I found you on UA-cam and subscribe. Thank you for your soothing voice. I will learn to use the Instant Pot. Never too old to learn.
Thank you for this video! I used my Instant Pot for the first time today to cook pork tenderloin and this is by FAR the best video out there. I didn't want to end up burned and this video was incredible. Thank you!
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 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!
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.
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 🥰
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! 🙌
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.
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
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
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!
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!!!
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, 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. 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.
Dam ! Just bought a 3 quart one, not delivered yet. I've watched a ton of unboxing, how to use videos over the years, and I've never been as impressed with ANY, as watching your walk through/ how to use/ safety first. Wow. A real, person, I couldn't even THINK, how it could be better done, or delivered. I, have NEVER subscribed to anything, or anyone, but I did yours. You 'GO' girl ! Breath of fresh air.
I have the Masterchef cooker and have watched many videos and you are the only one believe or not that shows how to quick release the pressure. Haha one of the most critical parts!!! Thanks for sharing these tips!
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.
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 🙄
Im seen her not just she showing the way how we use it ,she is really caring to deliver good advices in general about how to use this machine safely thanks a lot ❤❤
OMG, I am SOOOOOO GLAD I found this video! I was gonna give my Duo away after having it for almost 2 years because I lost the instructions and didn't know how to use it. THANK YOU!!!!!
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.
I bought my instant pot today and really enjoyed your 2 recipes. It was very well explained. I shall make the stew tomorrow. It looks delicious. Thank you.
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.
I use my Instant Pot to make yogurt pretty much every week or so. I also use it to make rice, as well to make beans and soups. It's a wonderful tool to use in the kitchen.
Hey there. No problem. Here is what I do. Pour 2 Litres of whole or semi-skimmed milk into the Instant Pot. Cover with a glass or metal pot lid. Do not use the pressure cooker lid. Hit the "Yogurt" button until you reach "More" setting. The machine will heat the milk and hold it at 180 Fahrenheit. Once it's done, it'll beep. Fill a clean kitchen sink half way with cold water and set aside a digital thermometer, a whisk or spoon, and leftover plain yogurt. Put the hot pot into the cold water, remove the lid and stir until the milk reaches 115 Fahrenheit. Remove from the sink and stir in 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Recover the pot and put back into the Instant Pot. Now, press the "Yogurt" button again until you reach "Normal" setting, and use the arrow button to increase or decrease the time to 8 or 9 hours. Walk away and let it ferment. I usually go to bed. Once it's done, it'll beep again. Remove the pot and put it in the fridge for 4 to 8 hours before straining if desired. I either use a sieve lined with cloth or a special strainer that I bought online. When I decant the yogurt into smaller containers to eat, I put 3 or so tablespoonfuls into a small container for my next batch. I actually bought freeze dried yogurt starter on Amazon to try this weekend. It is the same procedure, except I'm not sure how long it'll take to ferment. Plain yogurt usually only takes 8 or so hours. The longer it ferments, the tarter it will be. Use a good quality, plain yogurt that you like without any additives in it. I like Olympic Organic yogurt. I've also had success with plain Activia.
@applegal3058, Can you please tell me the steps of making yogurt in my 6-litre Instant Pot DUO? I was trying to make it but got scared and stopped halfway through. After I pressed yogurt it automatically went to the normal setting, and 10.00 (I guessed it meant 10 hours). I didn't know if I should press anything else, and if so, what should I press, or should I just leave it alone? I'm very puzzled as I've seen different times of incubation in a few videos; some said 8 hours while others said 24 hours. I'll appreciate it very much if you can help with explaining that step to me so that I can try again to make my yogurt; thank you. God bless 🙏🌹
Feel.much better about using my instant pot now, you ate great at giving instructions all.perfectly clear & understandable. I've had my pot for 2 months now never used it but you have given me confidence now, thankyou so much. Sarah UK x❤
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!
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.
Excellent delivery!!! Now I won't back away from using the insta pot at home, wasn't leery of the pot itself, but all those buttons! Now I know much more about its' operation. (The manual was put in a safe place by my wife). Subscribing to your channel. Thank You!
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. 🍽
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.
I got the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 6.5QT with Ultimate Lid Multi-Cooker and Air Fryer for FREE from someone who only used it a couple of times - it was in like new condition with extra seals. I was confused on how to use it and finally after a couple of months made some brown rice! LOL Watching this video was life changing for me, I love beef stew. Thank you!
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!
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!
I have been searching for simple quick instructions on how to use this pot. Your video is super helpful no joke quick and to the point. Especially Sauté
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.
you know im a young kid who bought this and i didnt really read the instructions. thanks for telling us how badly burned you can get by just not letting the pressure out before taking off the lid. you probablly will save a lot of people. Lol but seriously. Nice job
Instant Pot is great to have in your kitchen. We have 3. 1 is still in the box as a gift from family. We use the other 2, 1 is for rice and a for anything that needs to be done while the rice is cooked. We hardly ever use our stove anymore. The Duo has so many functions you use in your kitchen. Thanks, Instant Pot creator team for all your hard work.
I had a normal pressure cooker for the stove top but the gasket is old and it’s hard to find a replacement so got one of this, eager to use it! The explanation is the best! Congratulations on the video! Great job!
😊 I am so happy I found your channel. My son gave me a instapot for Christmas last year and I finally took it out of the box and cooked a beef brisket. It was so delicious 😋. So please anymore recipe and videos I'm ready for 😂. Thank you and God bless! Watching from Alabama.
After my roast is done I use scissors to cut it up in smaller pieces then add my flavoring like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Or my home made sauce. Great video...thanks.
You are so right! I got my Insta Pot as a wedding gift last October and it's been sitting in a box in my cupboard since then. It looks so complicated to use. But my old slow-cooker finally died and I've got a big ol hunk of pork sitting in my fridge waiting to be cooked and shredded. Thanks to your video, I feel a lot more confident giving my Insta Pot a go. You are awesome. Thank you.
Thanks beautiful chef-lady! just getting to master my new instant pot. Your poor friend's burn experience was quite sobering. This is a serious piece of kitchen-machinery. So far, so good.
Thank you so much. I just go my Instant Pot. I am scare about using it. But after your illustration, I have more confidence and less fear. You are very good with your explanation. Keep up the good work.
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.

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!
I WAS GIVEN AN INSTANT POT WITH NO MANUAL.
MOST INTELLIGENT DEMONSTRATION I HAVE SEEN AFTER WATCHING ABOUT 20 VIDEOS.
ALL THE YAHOOS DOING "RECIPES" NEED TO INCORPORATE ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND PANEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE "MANY DIFFERENT" MODELS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
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.

I think it’s a good thing you showed the pictures of your poor friend’s injury. That really hit home. I’ll definitely be appropriately cautious. Thanks for a great instruction video.
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.

You definitely are not alone. I've had one for 2 years and still haven't used it. I loved the old stove top pressure cooker.

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.
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
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!
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
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..

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 !
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!
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!

OMG !!!!❤ Thank you my friend, you explain everything simple and to the point. I'll be able to enjoy my instant pot now 😊

Thanks again for sharing! 🤗💕
I might now consider getting one!!! Thank you for instructions!
I’m 66 and have been cooking since I was about 12 or 13. Just got the Instapot as a gift and have never been more intimidated.
Chef ur amazing and have “released” my fears. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽
This has been the best by far, explanation of how to approach this beast, along with useful tips and precautions. Thank you!
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.

I agree......it's your delivery that makes this video so enjoyable. Really appreciate the cautionary advice about the steam.
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 :)
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. ❤❤❤
A gandson and granddaughter siblings gave me an Instant Pot for a Christmas gift. I'm over 80 years old and was afraid to use it. I found you on UA-cam and subscribe. Thank you for your soothing voice. I will learn to use the Instant Pot. Never too old to learn.
Be careful.
Thank you for this video! I used my Instant Pot for the first time today to cook pork tenderloin and this is by FAR the best video out there. I didn't want to end up burned and this video was incredible. Thank you!
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!
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!
Thank you so much!!! I bought mine used and had no instructions. So you helped me!!! 🙂👌🏽
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!
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 🥰
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. 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

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.
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
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
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!
She is easy with the steps and her humour makes it even easier....and so relatable...☺️
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!!!
Love your video, I was given my instapot 3yrs ago and still is in it's box. Finally someone who has explained step by step on how to use, thank you
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, 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. 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.
Dam ! Just bought a 3 quart one, not delivered yet. I've watched a ton of unboxing, how to use videos over the years, and I've never been as impressed with ANY, as watching your walk through/ how to use/ safety first. Wow. A real, person, I couldn't even THINK, how it could be better done, or delivered. I, have NEVER subscribed to anything, or anyone, but I did yours. You 'GO' girl ! Breath of fresh air.
I have the Masterchef cooker and have watched many videos and you are the only one believe or not that shows how to quick release the pressure. Haha one of the most critical parts!!! Thanks for sharing these tips!
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.
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...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
Im seen her not just she showing the way how we use it ,she is really caring to deliver good advices in general about how to use this machine safely thanks a lot ❤❤
OMG, I am SOOOOOO GLAD I found this video! I was gonna give my Duo away after having it for almost 2 years because I lost the instructions and didn't know how to use it. THANK YOU!!!!!
Very nice presentation! I'm not as afraid anymore.
I’m so glad I found this video- instant pot should seriously compensate you! Well done 😀
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 !
I bought my instant pot today and really enjoyed your 2 recipes. It was very well explained. I shall make the stew tomorrow. It looks delicious. Thank you.
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.
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.
Thank you! You made this super easy to understand and you have a great personality!
Thanks for the kind words!
I use my Instant Pot to make yogurt pretty much every week or so. I also use it to make rice, as well to make beans and soups. It's a wonderful tool to use in the kitchen.
Hey there. No problem. Here is what I do.
Pour 2 Litres of whole or semi-skimmed milk into the Instant Pot. Cover with a glass or metal pot lid. Do not use the pressure cooker lid. Hit the "Yogurt" button until you reach "More" setting. The machine will heat the milk and hold it at 180 Fahrenheit. Once it's done, it'll beep.
Fill a clean kitchen sink half way with cold water and set aside a digital thermometer, a whisk or spoon, and leftover plain yogurt.
Put the hot pot into the cold water, remove the lid and stir until the milk reaches 115 Fahrenheit. Remove from the sink and stir in 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Recover the pot and put back into the Instant Pot.
Now, press the "Yogurt" button again until you reach "Normal" setting, and use the arrow button to increase or decrease the time to 8 or 9 hours. Walk away and let it ferment. I usually go to bed.
Once it's done, it'll beep again. Remove the pot and put it in the fridge for 4 to 8 hours before straining if desired. I either use a sieve lined with cloth or a special strainer that I bought online.
When I decant the yogurt into smaller containers to eat, I put 3 or so tablespoonfuls into a small container for my next batch.
I actually bought freeze dried yogurt starter on Amazon to try this weekend. It is the same procedure, except I'm not sure how long it'll take to ferment. Plain yogurt usually only takes 8 or so hours. The longer it ferments, the tarter it will be.
Use a good quality, plain yogurt that you like without any additives in it. I like Olympic Organic yogurt. I've also had success with plain Activia.
@applegal3058,
Can you please tell me the steps of making yogurt in my 6-litre Instant Pot DUO? I was trying to make it but got scared and stopped halfway through.
After I pressed yogurt it automatically went to the normal setting, and 10.00 (I guessed it meant 10 hours).
I didn't know if I should press anything else, and if so, what should I press, or should I just leave it alone?
I'm very puzzled as I've seen different times of incubation in a few videos; some said 8 hours while others said 24 hours.
I'll appreciate it very much if you can help with explaining that step to me so that I can try again to make my yogurt; thank you. God bless 🙏🌹
Feel.much better about using my instant pot now, you ate great at giving instructions all.perfectly clear & understandable. I've had my pot for 2 months now never used it but you have given me confidence now, thankyou so much. Sarah UK x❤
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!
Very well delivered. Definitely took away my anxiety of using mine. Thank you so much!
Super helpful, straight to the point. Thank you so much for setting exlectations right and make it simple❤
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 :)
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.
Excellent delivery!!! Now I won't back away from using the insta pot at home, wasn't leery of the pot itself, but all those buttons! Now I know much more about its' operation. (The manual was put in a safe place by my wife). Subscribing to your channel. Thank You!
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. 🍽
Much appreciated demonstration, especially the safety concerns. I’ll be watching you. Thanks!
Thanks Linda!
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.
I got the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 6.5QT with Ultimate Lid Multi-Cooker and Air Fryer for FREE from someone who only used it a couple of times - it was in like new condition with extra seals. I was confused on how to use it and finally after a couple of months made some brown rice! LOL Watching this video was life changing for me, I love beef stew. Thank you!
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
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 😊
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. 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
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!
I have been searching for simple quick instructions on how to use this pot. Your video is super helpful no joke quick and to the point. Especially Sauté
Great learning video. Explained everything with ease and I understood all of it. Can't thank you enough ☺️❤️
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.
you know im a young kid who bought this and i didnt really read the instructions. thanks for telling us how badly burned you can get by just not letting the pressure out before taking off the lid. you probablly will save a lot of people. Lol but seriously. Nice job
Instant Pot is great to have in your kitchen. We have 3.
1 is still in the box as a gift from family. We use the other 2, 1 is for rice and a for anything that needs to be done while the rice is cooked. We hardly ever use our stove anymore. The Duo has so many functions you use in your kitchen. Thanks, Instant Pot creator team for all your hard work.
Thanks for the instructions and safety tips👍🏻👍🏻 The stew looks delicious😃💯💯
I'm a "Big Girl" now. After watching your matter of fact video I am not so scared to tackle that high pressure and those shiny buttons and bells.
I had a normal pressure cooker for the stove top but the gasket is old and it’s hard to find a replacement so got one of this, eager to use it! The explanation is the best! Congratulations on the video! Great job!
😊 I am so happy I found your channel. My son gave me a instapot for Christmas last year and I finally took it out of the box and cooked a beef brisket. It was so delicious 😋. So please anymore recipe and videos I'm ready for 😂. Thank you and God bless! Watching from Alabama.
I'm new to Instant Pot & I just learned a lot. Thanx
Thanks for the kind words :)
I just bought mine few days ago. Do I need to try to use it before I actually try cooking in it
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.
After my roast is done I use scissors to cut it up in smaller pieces then add my flavoring like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Or my home made sauce. Great video...thanks.
Nice tip! Thanks for watching
You are the first person that really explains the top bottoms thank you so much
You are so right! I got my Insta Pot as a wedding gift last October and it's been sitting in a box in my cupboard since then. It looks so complicated to use. But my old slow-cooker finally died and I've got a big ol hunk of pork sitting in my fridge waiting to be cooked and shredded. Thanks to your video, I feel a lot more confident giving my Insta Pot a go.
You are awesome.
Thank you.
Thank you so much! I’m feeling like I can give this thing a try after having it sit in the box for a year or so!
Mine too !
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 just learned how to use this and love it! Used it the last two nights for dinner. Makes cooking super easy!
Gets easier every time I use it 🤠
Thanks beautiful chef-lady! just getting to master my new instant pot. Your poor friend's burn experience was quite sobering. This is a serious piece of kitchen-machinery. So far, so good.
Thank you so much. I just go my Instant Pot. I am scare about using it. But after your illustration, I have more confidence and less fear. You are very good with your explanation. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. I don't use my instant pot often , so it's like I'm a beginner every time I use it.
Thank you for this video. After two weeks I can now take my Instant Pot out of the box.
You can do it, Mary Jo!!
