I just unboxed my first instant pot. I have the 6qt Pro and everything seems so confusing and advanced compared to the basic instant pot models that most UA-camrs cook with. You're the first person to completely take everything apart in the lid without just pointing and saying what everything is. Thank you for a very thorough video.
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
I just got the Instant Pot Pro for Christmas today...I have never had an Instant Pot before so this is all new to me. I've always been a little nervous about pressure cookers. I came to look for some videos after reading the manual. This video came up first. It's very helpful. Thank you.
I’m with you, I like everything you’ve shown on this new model except the dial knob snd that sound is definitely annoying. Glad you found the sound off 😀 Thanks for showing.
I imagine turning the sound "off" also negates the "reminder" (5/10 minutes) alarm? The reason why a lot of manufacturers are going to knobs vs up/down is because they last a lot longer and the up/down gets used way more than the other buttons so they'd wear out a lot quicker.
First Instant Pot and I’m a lil intimidated to be honest but your video is super helpful, thank you. Feel a lot better getting it started.
When I take apart my Instapot lid, I always put the little pieces - like the little silicone cap - into a small custard cup. This ensures you won't lose anything. Just a thought. Love your posts!! 🥲🥲
Thanks for taking the pieces apart and talking about cleaning on the lid! Great video!
I absolutely love my pro crisp and air fryer ❤️
Best review hands down. Thank you!
Pulling that sticker off is so satisfying lol. Thank you for showing us your new pressure cooker😊
So happy you mentioned pulling the sticker off because I missed seeing that and will have to look at mine to do that!
Thank you, Indigo. This video helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for the demo! Made it so much easier for this quick dinner we had to make.
Thank you for this informative video with very clear demonstrations!
Thank you so much for this video. I was so lost and overwhelmed.
Amazing video. I’m using my first instant pot ever 👏 this is very helpful
Look forward to your comparison to the Duo Evo Plus - your video is what convinced me to by the Duo Evo Plus and I love it. Even my husband uses it every weekend to make eggs and he loves doing it.
Best Instant Pot review. Very good job. Thanks.
THANK you for such a valuable video.
I just bought one and like you stated, I would RATHER have the +/- buttons apposed to the knob.
I LOVE it!
When come time to take the lid off, I take a cloth to always wipe the water out of the inside of the lid before I set it into the slot to rest, and leave it to air out, before I put the lid back on . I hold the lid above the sink when doing so. No problem with smells as I leave it open for awhile to dry.
I bet you are so happy in your new kitchen/house now. (smiles)
I just purchased an Instant Pot Pro. I love it! I didn't find the beeping annoying. I am a senior and find the sound very helpful. Thank you for your vedio. It helped me immensely.
Thank you so much for this video. I was perplexed!!!!!
Loved this, clear display,loved the intuitive Dial n display....n control menu.
Thank you for this video. I've just purchased this model which is my first instant pot pressure cooker. I haven't used a pressure cooker for decades. I was not intimidated with manual pressure cookers. Sometimes reading comments on the Instant Pot Facebook group can be very confusing because they are talking about so many different models.
I got the 8qt one like you have. This is a fantastic how-to video!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the vid. Your tutorial was very helpful. I am going to make my first-ever batch of the Super Gut yogurt tonight. I'm very excited to start this journey.
The peel at the end! Thank you for your video!
Just got mine today and I was very curious about the red sealing ring. Thanks for clearing that up right up front!
TY for showing us your new gadget of the Instant Pot! I love all of your new ggadgets, Tae your time with videos Stay safe
RE: The Sound - Remember those of us who are hard of hearing. I never hear any of the sounds from my IP Duo. Just use your "Sound Off" button. Thanks for this video. I'm definitely going to upgrade to a Pro based on your input.
Thank you for the review.
Thank you Nili for the helpful video. It was very precise, to the point and eminently relatable
This is a really great review. Thank you so much. I plan on getting this one.
Very great video lady. As a single man learning to cook this was really helpful.
I Love this Post - amazing explanations!!!!
TY!! I just upgraded (lux to duo to viva prev, still have the duo). This video elps my old brain
Adding to my cart for prime day! Thank you so much for your great video!
Imjust ordered it today for Prime day
Really helpful video! Thank you so much!
Surprising seeing so many upgrading on the regular, I still got the instapot 8qt Wolfgang Puck version from 2013 with the analog timer only. It was about $130. Back then. Hard to justify the upgrading still using multiple Staub cast iron Braisers and Dutch ovens. Very interesting seeing all the upgrades with a modern pressure cookers.
Thanks for the tips for the sound ! Drived me crazy :X
Excellent explanation of this model and it’s features/settings! Well done 👍🏻
its
I learned alot and thank you!!
Great video, very informative. Thank you
holy cow…you know the in’s and out’s ..great job..!
Thank you for the video.
This is the first Instant Pot I bought (arrived today). I bought it for the handles on the pot, and the "Fav" features.
BTW, thank you for sharing how to disable the sound.
I just got my IP Pro 8 qt so this video was really helpful… thank you 🙏
Glad I could help!
I personally love the sound. i have an instant pot duo evo plus 6qt. I just got this one 8qt. I found the 6qt small for some things.
You Rock lmbo I openup the instant pot and seen all the different parts I never really read this instruction but this one here had to and so glad you broke it all down for me thank you so much you made it so much easer to work now!!
I didn't realize the thing about being able to slip the fin in the lid into the slot in the top to hold the lid. So cool!
Evo Duo Plus has it too!
Super helpful video! I bought my 1st Insta pot and it is the Pro, so it was great to see all of the features! Do you have a cookbook recommendation? I feel like an Insta Pot specific cook book out be helpful.
you are an amazing reviewer! thanks :)
Fantastic video thank you
I just used mine for the first time this morning. Can't wait to try more! I had a very old Lux version.
I’m giving my very old Lux (but in great shape) to my granddaughter.. my pro gets here Jan 4!
@@virginiacraig5545 I gave mine to my mom. :)
My son gave this to me for my birthday and I have watched different videos , but you actually did the best. I was setting the timer wrong I thought that was seconds not minutes, LoL 00:00
This is a super informative video, thank you for explaining how to operate the Instant Pot Pro so clearly. I am in the "decision stage" right now, weighing-up the pros and cons of each model, before making my final choice, so I very much appreciated your step-by-step instructions. Thank you again and best wishes, Annie. 🐱
Thank you that was a very good explanation you were so thorough and help me to make up my mind on which one to buy but I would love to have the crisper lid air fryer and I think that's called the ultimate but it's a little pricey.
awsome video! thx for sharing!
So glad I found your video! I just got mine last night and am super intimidated by it for some reason. Your video was very helpful!
So glad I could help!
Because it's definitely confusing & intimidating. I'm new to instant pot, & I must say, idk which model to purchase, & once I purchase it, I know I will be confused as to how to use it.
Brand new to your channel. I ordered the IP Pro on Prime Day so I am very thankful for this post. I only have the Lux IP and it still works like a charm. I make a lot of homemade yogurt in my crockpot so I am most excited to make it in my new IP. I will definitely be turning off that insanely high pitch beeper. Looking forward to your channel. 🌻💕☕️💐
What size and for what price was it on Prime Day? I just ordered from Target for 114.99 before 5% discount for the 8 quart
@@billchecco It was $80 for the 6 quart Pro. What a deal!!
QUESTION, PLEASE! Thank you -- so helpful! I have watched several of your videos and they are very good! I expect my new (first instant pot for me) Pro 6 qt to arrive today! I am quite excited. I am trying to figure out from other people's UA-cams whether the yogurt button lets me adjust the temp by DEGREES down to 100F to make L. Reuteri. No one, including you, has actually said (unless I missed it). I did watch you make a batch. Can you fill me in on that? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I had the Duo Nova and the pressure release button broke and is not replaceable. They are unable to replace the lid so IP is sending me this new model as a replacement and can't wait to receive it. Their customer service is exceptional IMHO.
Thanks for this video. Just got the Instant Pot Pro and while I love the cooker, I found the manual to be miserably inadequate. You answered some of the questions I had been wondering about. I always look forward to your uploads!
It's hard to understand why they don't just keep all the good things about a previous model and just add upgrades... Why do they have to go backwards on certain things? 😂
@@IndigoNili Because if they makes it perfect, you will only buy it once... and they don't want that!
Bingo! 💯
@@erchiguire2733 . Good point
I immediately got up in the middle of watching this and turned off the annoying beeps lol. Thank you.. subscribed! Oh and nice touch with the sticker outro. Lol'd a little there.
I might take the duo pro (8qt) back, & get this one (6qt).
I just got the IP Pro60 recently. All my others are IP Duo 6Qts and 1 3Qt Duo Nova. This Pro is a beauty. Haven't used it yet but I love the upgraded features of the handles on the inner pot and the venting slide and that it Seals automatically when the lid is locked in. You mentioned that the inner pot can be used on the stove top.......according to the manual, it can also go into a 450ºF oven.
Thank you for this video! My IP Pro is on its way to me so this was helpful, especially in regards to the beep!
Can the lid be hand washed?
Yes. Hand washing is great too 😊
Owmy God you are th best talking about this pot explaining nice easy thank you hope your honest job God put it and save it in your book so you might need to use it when need it tank you again
New to the instant pot! Received this one for my birthday!
Sorry if this question has been asked. When it is building pressure are they always really loud?
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽!
The extra ring is for when you want to make things like cakes and yogurt and you dont want your food to catch savoury odours from things like curry and chili!
Thank you very much. I was a lot less nervous having watched you run the test. BUT you really need to emphasize that there will be steam released from the float valve as the cooker builds pressure until the pin pops. I did not catch that on my first viewing of your video so when steam starting coming through the float valve, me and my daughter ran out of the kitchen. LOL When I went back and looked it was there on your video for a few seconds, may have been edited out for the most part. Anyway we are both alive. Thanks
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Neil: could you tell me if the slow cooker works better on this model or the Evo Duo Plus?? I am considering buying another pot and would really like the slow cooker to work better. Thank you for your help.
Great video. What’s the difference between the IP Pro and IP Ultra please ?
Thank good I was about to trough the pod due to this sound
My apologies if this question has already been asked but you showed us how to turn off the sound which is great. However, doesn't that make the reminder feature obsolete?
I generally prefer knobs over buttons, and have never been a fan of the membrane style buttons on Instant Pots. Unfortunately, the knob on this machine looks cheap and flimsy (like the buttons). I wonder which is the least worst option? Overall however, this is a great appliance that I will pick up as soon as it hits the Australia/New Zealand markets (soon). Thank you for another helpful review.
Thanks so much for your reviews of Instant Pots. After your review of the Evo Duo Plus, because of the error codes (plus unavailability everywhere), we recently bought the IP Pro. It's been a challenge, but we're figuring it out, thanks to videos like yours. All you say is very clear, but could you also cover how one goes from Saute at High and then back to Saute at Low in order to simmer WITHOUT having to go through the long pre-heat function just to get back to "cooking" at a lower setting. There must be a way to bypass that pre-heat function when the pot is already hot and a person is simply trying to lower the Saute temp. The same problem occurs in some recipes when one goes from Saute to Pressure Cook and then BACK to the Saute function. That rarely occurs, but we happened to pick a recipe that does that and were so annoyed by that pre-heat function when the pot was hot. Can't the program in it determine it's already hot?! Your thoughts???? Thank you!!!
The Instant pot has a temperature detector so if the pot is already hot the preheat should at least be very short. If yours is sitting on preheat for too long it could indicate that something is wrong with the temperature detector
@@IndigoNili I just got mine and I appreciated you helped me lots keeps up your great job my dear sis ❤️
Very nice video thank you su much…
I just got this pro model today in 6qt. It's my first IP. I was trying to decide between this and the ultra model. I am wondering if I would also like to have the pro crisp in 8qt. Great review, it was helpful.
I'm currently deciding between the Pro (6Qt) & the Duo Plus (8Qt). With a family of three, I don't think I need the 8qt, regardless of the model I decide to get. I must admit. I really don't know which model to choose.🤦🏾♀️
The last six seconds were very useful. The manual does not mention removing a protective sticker from the control panel. The sticker does not start peeling off easily, so I wasn't sure whether I needed to work harder at trying to start the sticker or whether I was risking mutilating the shiny control panel. The last six seconds answered this nagging question.
The Instant pot Pro REPLACES the Duo Evo Plus. I set out to buy the Duo Evo but quickly learned that they're no longer available. I bought the 8 Qt Pro....as my first instant pot. I've been using it for a month now and so far, it's been great!
Let's say you want to make yogurt and set it to 48 or 36 hours, can you adjust the temperature "manually" on these if you are on the "Custom" setting, to 100F, 105F, 110F, etc? Some pots do and some don't that's why I'm asking. Thank you very much for posting this informative video!
If you turn the sound off, does that only affect the sounds of the dial & buttons? Or will it not beep when food is done too?
Like it .
Thanks soooo much for telling me how to shut the beep off
Have you ever heard a loud bang when the steam release( not the float valve) bounces up from preheating to high pressure cooking?
Do you do canning? I just bought mine for canning and need some guidance.
Thanks for sharing! I have an Instant Pot Pro Plus. After pressure cooking it won’t release pressure and there’s no venting, do you know how to correct it? There’s no external on/off button to release the air, could you help? Thanks a lot
Turning the sound off is the ultimate winner!!
I asked for one for Christmas after see in your vids
Great video but how do you store the power cord?
Do you make your L. Reuteri in the IP? Is the temperature adjustable on the yogurt setting?
Is this the newest model? I just purchased the Duo plus (8qt), because I didn't see it in 6qt. I feel like it might be too big for my family of four. 🤔
When you lock the lid to cook, it seals automatically. No need to flip the lever to seal.
While looking at the different models trying to decide which to buy, I came upon your video. I liked it and was impressed as you explained everything nicely. I’ve decided on the the “Pro” model (don’t need the “Plus” and its ability to cook by phone app) but I’m trying to decide between the 6 or 8 qt. I’m thinking that for just myself the 6qt would be fine, however I do like to boil p-nuts (bulk) and thus I’m think the 8qt might be better (still trying to decide) and ultimately it will be a personal choice. One thing I wonder about is the “Sterilize” feature and wonder if this “Pro” model can do that? Thanks again for a GREAT video.
Anyone use this model for yogurt yet? Finding most videos do not use this exact model. There is low/high for yogurt. But do not see "normal" as older models on YT ( in recipes) show. No explanations for the Pro yogurt cycles etc... LOVE this pot. Looking forward to more recipes showing this pot in use!
Have you tried the bake button with "dry baking"?
Does it matter which way the red pressure pin goes in? It looks like you put the solid part on top and the part with holes on the bottom (?).
In the bottom of the base under the pot can you see the spring under the button. Is that feature on the instant pot pro crisp or not? Do you know if I am able to pressure can in it too?
I'm looking to replace my 8 qt duo plus so I'm super interested in this model.
I wonder if it'll be on sale for Prime Day 🤔🤞🏼
@@IndigoNili if I say I want another Instant Pot my husband will strangle me!! I already have 4 models but if I tell him I want to sell my 8 qt and get a different 8 qt maybe he'll go for it!
