    This is BY FAR, the best instructional video I've EVER seen. Thank you for not telling us your life story before getting to the heart of the video. Also, thank you for being so clear and concise in your BASIC instructions. I was ready to donate my Instant pot to Salvation Army before I saw this video. BTW I have the older model so thanks for mentioning the differences between the old and newer models. You mentioned every important detail on both which was awesome... THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT VIDEO!

    You deserve all those views. I’ve had this plastic and steel contraption taking up space on my counter since last Christmas, with its accessories, and silicone thingamajigs, and recipe books, and I was always thinking I really should take a day off to study how it works, and how to prevent explosions, when all I really needed was a bag of frozen veggies. I’m going to try it now, wish me luck. 😅

    This video was so helpful. I was using my Instant Pot cooking a pot roast for the first time and I wish I had watched your video first. I am TERRIFIED of Pressure Cooker. My friend had a Instant Pot and raved about it so I figure I would try it. I did not realize the knob was supposed to be on “sealing” when using. I started to hear this hissing sound so I RAN out of my kitchen because I thought it would explode (instead of pulling the plug or cancel button) I ran...fast...lol I actually search for a video and this one popped up. I noticed you said to put the knob on sealing and NOT VENTING, therefore the hissing sound as the steam was escaping! lol, so if scary old me can used the Instant Pot successfully, ANYONE can l. I’m very happy with my Instant Pot and my pot roast was absolutely delicious! Thanks for this video and calming my nerves!

      @nataliecaraballo8067 4 роки тому +4

      I was scared using mine the first time. I made a family favorite that usually takes an hour in just under 25 minutes. I was unsure if it was doing everything right, then it seemed b like the timer than counts down waz going in slow motion, then it started counting up after beeping. I figured it was done and saw that the instructions say to vent the steam before opening. I barely touched the valve and it hissed at me. I called my boyfriend to come to the kitchen and vent it for me. He thought I was being a big baby, but he also freaked out when it hissed. It was so loud. But it is definitely a time saver. Your story mDe me laugh and reminded me of mine. Lol.

    This video provides very useful info. When my wife bought the Instant Pot, I thought that SHE was going to learn how use it and then teach me, but somehow sorting out the maintenance and learning how to deploy the unit became my task. I had not even heard of Instant Pots or ever used a pressure cooker. I know how to make peanut butter sandwiches, spaghetti, salad and roast chicken breasts and that's pretty much it. (Looking at many of the comments here, I laughed to see that so many other folks had the same trepidations that I had.) You made my job very easy and made me look smarter than I am. Thank you! I have already checked out some of your other content and see some other things to add yo my repertoire.

I found your video and it showed me how which was awesome. Then today I was making my very first recipe in it ever and was getting worried that something was wrong because it said on but wasn't counting down the time I put it on for. Then I watched your video for the fifth or more time and saw that was it saying it's getting up to pressure and then sure enough once it was up to pressure it cooked for the 4 minutes and turned out delicious!

    Thank you Six Sisters for sharing all the knowledge and receipts. I have an IP-Lux( 6 in 1 or older model). One risotto receipt asked to cook with Low Pressure. However, my IP- LUX does not have any high or low pressure button or setting. I usually use Manual button as most IP receipts suggest.
    Would you please tell me how I get my IP to Low Pressure please? Thank you

    I'm late to the game and just got my first Instant Pot! So glad I found your channel!! I wanted to ask, you said you usually put a basket in your IP when cooking veggies. Is there certain baskets made just for the IP or could I use a metal strainer or a silicone basket if it fits?
    Also, I have the Lux. Are you supposed to remove the gasket to clean? If so,.how? Can you do a video to show us how to care for our IP's?
