    The red ring is actually an added ring for cooking red sauces like chili and pasta sauces so the flavors don't transfer to other dishes . Silicone will hold onto flavors and smells especially red sauces ! Use the clear for chicken dishes and dishes that you won't use allot of spices like chili and tomato based sauces . And use the red ring for your red based sauces. . that's what my instructions told me .

    Wow! Just wow! I am a 58 y/o intelligent woman. I have used pressure cookers for 30 years. I'm detail oriented and am a firm believer in READING the instructions! My b'day was in mid November and my mom and sister went in together to get me an Instant Pot, this model in fact. They even bought me a chicken to cook in it! I spent 3 HOURS coming through their booklets. It might as well have been in a foreign language! And yet... in just 13 MINUTES and 15 seconds... made it all fall into place! The "instruction book" was just about the worst that I've EVER seen! THANK YOU SO MUCH! They were beginning to think that I didn't want it! You REALLY did an AWESOME job!

    Probably 60+ years ago my mom had a pressure cooker and to this day I remember her running the pot to our small bathroom where it literally exploded! The bathroom was destroyed like a bomb went off. She’s 96+ and I asked her today about it and she said 63 years later she remembers it all. Why I’m so happy I found you, I really wanted an Instant Pot but it’s still on my counter for over a week because of fear. I’m not afraid anymore and I’ll keep you posted! I’m definitely going to use it by Sunday. We can laugh about it now, I was 4. My dad did not see any humor in it whatsoever.

    Great video, very thorough. Thanks. Got my first Instant Pot and its a Duo Nova 6 qt and I knew most everything you talked about in this video cuz I read the manual and visited the website,, but still wanted to see the unboxing. I did learn a few things like the rice cup n spoon utensil not being mistakenly missing.

    This video was exactly what I needed. I couldn't get the lid to go on and didn't know why. But after I saw this video I realized that I was trying to put the red seal on also. Thank you for this!
