THANK YOU! At last, someone who describes the basic instructions on this great cooking device! So many other videos could get too confusing. Looking forward to using the Instant Pot. Thanks again!
This is an EXCELLENT how to get started video!! I'm 62 & finally jumped on the Instant Pot wagon. I primarily purchased this because I've cooked meals all day every day for 45+ years (I raised 14 children) & I have become tired of cooking, to put it simply. So now a days 5pm rolls around & I'm staring at frozen chicken. Instant Pot to the rescue! "One Pot Dump" meals here I come! ❤️
Know what I love most about this video? It helped demystify the Instant Pot for me and gave me the courage to actually take mine out of the box after six months of not having a clue what to do with it. Your instructions are clear, easy and fun to follow. Now I’m an Instant Pot Master like you 😉, and I’m delighted to share your recipes and tutorials with everyone I know. My Sister in Law’s Instant Pot arrives today and I’ve already linked her to this video and your website. Thank you for your generous help and amazing recipes. So happy I found you.
I to bought one 7 months ago. Took out of box today but there were so many instructions that I couldn't understand it, and still can't figure it out. This video is the best of all the videos I've seen so far.
Glad I'm not the only one who was scared to take it out of the box. It's been months since I was gifted this and it's about time I use it, lol. This video was great! I think I can do it. Now for a recipe.
This tutorial finally gave me the courage I need to try my instant pot. I’m going to use it for the first time today after letting it sit in a Box for 3 months. Thanks so much!
😅I did the exact same thing. Bought a 3 qt Instant Pot and just stared at it for, perhaps, more than three months! Now that I've gotten started, I cannot stop making hardboiled eggs, yogurt, oat meal, chicken dishes, and more. Glad I'm not the only one who was a slow-starter.
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.
BRAVO!!! Direct, to the point, & easy. Thank you so much. I've been cooking for over 6o years & I decided it was time for this old dog to learn some new tricks. I bought the Instant Pot for myself & then I looked at it for 2 days wondering why in the hell I bought it. Now, I am cooking.....WOOT!
What a great teacher! I was so confused when I tried reading the booklet that came with my IP duo. In 21 minutes, you made everything so easy to understand. Thank you, Jeff!
My Mom just got one of these and was terrified to use it. She kept saying it didn't work because it didn't instantly go to pressure and I had to explain to her that it needs to boil to create the steam to make the pressure. I had to go to her house and help her cook chicken noodle soup with it to get her to trust it. I'll need to pass along this video to her and she can watch it every time she uses her cooker until she feels comfortable. Thanks for the vid!
Agree here too, this is about the 5th video I've watched. I now feel confident to get started, though one thing he missed to discuss was the inner rubber ring. Make sure to take that out and clean in between meals as well as leave lid open when storing so smells don't accumulate.
You put some time in your preparation for these videos. I appreciate that. They are done professionally and with some sense of humor. Great job and Thxs!
Undoubtedly the best video I have seen to date on how to use this pot. I bought one 3 years ago, and have never used it until today. Reason being, this video motivated me. Thank you so much! Super duper video!❤❤
The best UA-cam ever! Detail oriented without being condescending and with great humor as well!! I learned so much and was so nervous, now I can hardly wait!! Thank YOU!!!
Hi Jeff, our kids bought us an Instant Pot duo for our anniversary this last summer. We still haven’t used it much at all! I’ve been watching your videos and you have inspired me! I have been recovering from some major surgery and when I am recovered I am really going to put this thing to work! I love your channel! Thank you.
I looked up instant pot Trivet Rack Stand and got your video and than realized you are the author of the step-by-step instant pot book I just purchased. Thank you.
Soffowitz 😂 Thank you so much for this! The manual is the reason why so many people have purchased these and not used them. I’m sharing this with EVERYONE!
Thank you so much! I just received my IP and did the water test and felt I was in over my head. I had no idea what the L0:00 thing was and why in the world was it counting up. Your video is very informative and helped me feel more confident and willing to give this a try.
I am new to the instant pot and have been digging for the best instructions/information. This is the bomb! You covered it better than the various manufacturer demonstration! Thanks so much.
I have to agree with others, this UA-cam page should be included with all new purchases. You answered every nagging question I had. I feel more confident now, excited about this device
I’ve had my Instant Pot Ultra for several months and I’m just getting the courage to use it. Having the visual of your video next to my I.Pot was big help. Thanks!
You’re like one of the only people that really explains it well where it’s actually easy to understand. Thank you and I’ll continue to watch a Videos...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Story time. After watching a lot of videos (especially Jeffry's), I bought 3 IPs in November. One for home and the others for daughters. I bought the Duo Nova. Last night at my daughter's house I noticed our gift boxes were the same size. Yep- we bought each other Instant pots! So now I have a Duo Nova and Duo 60.
Finally good directions on this bewildering appliance. After 2 years I think I will be able to operate without punching many buttons on pot to have nothing happen. You are a Godsend.
Ordered my Instant Pot from Costco back in September 2018. It's STILL sealed up in 'da box! I've watched a few of your videos now. Still gathering my courage. Soon...
Wow Thank You Jeffrey! I just got an instant pot yesterday, and was confused by the water condenser in back and how to set the controls. Oh and the ON message had me scratching my head too. Today I am cooking green beans with Carmalized onions and crispy tender sauted bacon; and a batch of hard boiled eggs. Now I can hardly wait to try your Best Ever Pot Roast once I get more confident. You are the UA-cam Answer Man of everything Instant Pot. Thank You. Thank You! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
So glad I came across your UA-cam video!! Just got my Instant Pot today and was excited but a little overwhelmed and nervous to start using it. Loved your simple step by step demo and your humour! Thank you!
ugghhh why couldnt i find this video two days ago. ive watched instant pot videos for TWO DAYS while i await mine to be delivered and i FINALLY found one that's super informative and the most helpful! Super detailed info. I greatly appreciate you!
Excellent primer on how to use the pot. I liked that you showed and explained how to use the different functions and you were very explicit on the dangers of the steam. Between your video and the Users Manuel that came with the instant pot I feel very confident that I can safely use this device. Looking forward to checking out all your recipes now!!! Thank you Chef!
Great review! I bought one of these tonight, after my older pressure cooker wasn’t building pressure appropriately! I love this thing! It’s great! Love that your review was straight to the point! Good job!
Not bad at home, good job. I was a little scared when I took my instant pot out of the box. I am going to cook your chicken & dumplings recipe first; I watched you and was very impress. I will watch your videos and cook along with you. Thank you!
Your a genius I've desperately searching for instructions for the Instant pot duo nova - You don't even demonstrate the right one and still were able to answer my questions - you talk clear and quick, and to the point - i just fast forward to when you get what I want - what a relief, Thank you and muchos gracias
TIP: Today I put leftover cornbread (from a couple days ago) that was dried out, into the Instant Pot in a steamer basket with 1 cup of water in the bottom of the vessel, and put on manual setting for zero minutes, and did a Q.R. The cornbread came out hot and moist just as if I had baked it fresh in the oven. I'm going to try this in future with bread, cake, etc.
Been cooking with the instant pot for about a year now. Pure experimentation! Wish I saw your page before I started I would’ve been set. I also mainly use sauté and manual lol. Doing some hot wings RIGHT NOW. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
A year and a half I've had this thing and today I used it for the first time. It's incredible. I love it! Best how to video I've seen yet. And what a cute host!
You're a treat. So glad I got an instant pot and found you. Hadn't had much interest in cooking recently; this has revived my passion for creating lovely meals. Now my husband doesn't have to play the "What do you feel like having tonight?" game with me every day - I beat him to the punch had have a list ready for him to get at the market. Now we're both happy!
Marcia Clarke I absolutely hate the evil eye that I get from the family when there’s nothing ready for dinner 😆 Looking forward to using this little life savor!!
My parents do that. My mom owns an Instant Pot but won’t use it! 😮 I just started using one and love it. Despite my urging, she still will not touch hers. 🤣
Had to come back and and another comment saying thanks again. The tip about the lid is so useful. I wouldn't have figured that out!! I LOVE my instant pot. I just cook beans and rice, but that in itself is worth the money!
I’m so late to the Instant Pot family....hello...hello... Ahem....sir...are they paying you? You have been most helpful and concise in this video. You should be compensated. I mean seriously....the manuals that comes with doesn’t even show a picture of what to look for...and honestly I don’t think my manual instructions are for my exact model...told me nothing about the valve being flushed to begin with...I was worried...especially when I resorted to the troubleshooting page that said to press it down gently with a pen if it isn’t down 😒 But thanks to you I realized my model has it flushed to start with. Thank you again!
I was just gifted an instant pot and felt a little overwhelmed reading the manual- woah- that is not a user friendly manual IMO! Your video was exactly what I needed to go ahead and get instant pot cooking! Thank you!
THANK YOU so much ! this video was a lifesaver. I bought my Instant Pot in 2017 and now going to use it today for the first time to pressure cook a deer roast. thanks again
I had my IP for nearly a year before I sat down and watched a ton of YT video recipes for the IP. I picked one recipe and just went for it and boy am I glad I did! I now use my IP every single week at least once, but usually more! What a great addition to my kitchen! Love it!
Just bought a new IP and was a little overwhelmed. But I found this so helpful and I feel so much better getting started. I already watched two of your recipes that I hope to try. But you did such a great job going over each button and setting. Will check our your FB as well.
I got an Instant Pot for Christmas this year like so many others in the comments, and it’s all because of you, Jeffrey! I’ve been watching your videos for about years (yeah, I know, without an Instant Pot!)and my husband always watches over my shoulder, so he knew how badly I wanted one. Thanks for so much amazing content-can’t wait to get your cookbook!
I'm so incredibly grateful to have found this video. I have a 3-quart mini and have trouble following recipes because they never seem to match up to anything on my IP. This explained everything I was doing wrong. Plus I sent it on to my son and his fiancee. I gave them an 8-quart as an engagement gift. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Before Black friday I knew of a thing that cooked food fast and bought it. After cyber Monday I had 2 Instant pots heading to my house. After watching countless videos on your channel. Both pots haven't stopped working sence. Marsala, ribs, Brussel sprouts, adobo, Yogurt my favorite and more. This is an awesome tutorial!!!
You have the best UA-cam for the Instant Pot Duo Plus. I just purchased the pot and very excited to start using it. But when I looked at the instruction booklet and then went on their website I realized I was lost. You do a million times better explaining how to start working with the pot. Thank you. Debra K.
That is valuable information which every user of the Instant Pot should know before cooking with it. I have the 3 Qt pot since I am single and have purchased some of the accessories I can use with it and have to buy a few more so I can do even more with my appliance. I have had my pot for over 1.5 years and got the accessories about 6 months ago, but just too everything out of the boxes and cleaned them. I just cooked some boiled eggs with the pot and they came out perfectly and I will be making pasta dishes next in it and even more dishes as I become more comfortable with it.
You're awesome! Such an informative video but instead of a "Proper" (all business) you are funny too! Your personality shines thru and I'm subscribing! Thank you.
This was wayyyy more helpful than the owners manual. Thank you so much! I'm making swedish meatballs as my first meal in the instant pot. Now I feel more confident!
I just sent your site over to a bunch of RVers that are somehow having trouble with their Instant Pot! I have instant success with my Instant Pot, but somehow some people have trouble! Hopefully you can help them out!
Just had my Instant Pot Duo delivered today and looked for videos about it. I find it easier to follow a video along rather than an instruction manual. You explained everything really well and my shiny new toy is now ready for the first proper cooking of a meal. Thank you!
Just got my Instant Pot - this is the most fun video. Never having cooked with a pressure cooker before, I finked out and made my cabbage stew tonight on the stove in a soup pot.....but I'll do a few test runs with the water and next weekend it's a go with the Instant Pot.
Oh my goodness, you make this so fun!! Thank you. You are my new instant friend! It's great how thorough you are without making me feel stupid... and expressing your expertise as an option is reassuring. Awesome!
Excellent instructional video! You ansewered all my questions! I watched several before this and learned nothing. What I liked best is that you covered BOTH the DUO and the Ultra.
Was never thinking about buying an instant pot but I ran across your videos and now I am awaiting my delivery 🤦🏻♀️ all in one night this happened 🤷🏻♀️could not turn off your videos. Thank you so much for all your hard work! I can’t wait to start cooking♥️
Thank you so much for this video! You explained the functions and process so well that I feel much better ready to jump in and use my Instant Pot! You seem like a very nice person and that helps too. You inspire trust!
Thank you so much for your attitude and sense of fun. It was all that PLUS getting people like me brave enough to start cooking on the pot with all the buttons. Love from Texas...
Oh my goodness I'm so thankful I found you! I just purchased my Instant Pot 8 quart Lux. I'll be doing the water test first, then I'm making a beef roast with vegetables for dinner. Until I watched your video I was feeling intimidated by all of the confusing institutions and warnings. You did a TREMENDOUS job of simply and clearly explaining how to get started using my Instant Pot. Thank you so much!
So glad I found your video! I was getting frustrated; the user manual isn't that clear to me. Other videos I found weren't much better. This is just what I needed. Bless you!
Been starring at my instant pot since Xmas, a gift from my sister. Starting 6#’s of meat for French dip a little late in the day, it should cook for 8 hrs, I cooked this 1 hour 20 minutes, I stuck a big fork in this huge roast, seems very tender, I put the meat back on the stove to keep warm til dinner time. That’s for your tutorial, cooking with pressure is a bit unnerving at 1st, but it went well, thanks for the sound advice and assurances.
Bro, I don't know if you ever took a breath in the whole damn video... I am impressed. I hope InstantPot paid you, because this is a legit, concise, entertaining training video. Thanks man!
I bought one a few years ago when our crock pot died. We had an old pressure cooker, so I bought this to replace both. Thanks Jefferey, I enjoyed the video, and I bought your recipe books. Money well spent IMO.
I just got mine and before even reading the menu I already know what to do , JUST BY WATCHING YOUR VIDEO. you are awesome . Thanks for making it so easy to all of us. Greetings from NEW JERSEY.
Wish there were tutorials for cooking frozen meats. Can't find a single help anywhere, not even in the flipping manual... No where does it say how to cook diced beef or frozen chicken. Driving me mad :)
After checking so many vids in prep for my Instant Pot arrival, yours is the ultimate. You make everything clear and easy to follow. Thank you for this!!!!
Thank you for this “Getting Started” video! Just got mine for Christmas. Can’t wait to use it. Now the real problem will only be : which recipe to make first!
Yes! Finally after 4 videos, a REAL instructional vid for beginners! I was given this pot brand new, from a friend (who thought it was too scary) but it had NO manual with it. So glad I kept watching, or I would not have found you. Thank you so much! I feel so much better about my first time trying this machine. Yay! Just liked you on facebook so I can find more recipes...you have a new fan... Mazel Tov!
THANK YOU! I just got an Instant Pot from someone who didn't use it. She didn't have the instructions and I've been really confused about the display and how it counts down. You've explained it perfectly.
THANK YOU! At last, someone who describes the basic instructions on this great cooking device! So many other videos could get too confusing. Looking forward to using the Instant Pot. Thanks again!

This is the most thorough product explanation I've ever seen on UA-cam. Well done.
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.

I don’t have an adjust button on my duo IP. How do I adjust the low normal high setting?
Very orderly presentation that was clear--even with extra tips and encouragements.
Your comment made me laugh!
This is so funny! I got mine 2 days ago and said to my daughter yesterday, "I look at it and wonder why I got it."
What a great teacher! I was so confused when I tried reading the booklet that came with my IP duo. In 21 minutes, you made everything so easy to understand. Thank you, Jeff!
My Mom just got one of these and was terrified to use it. She kept saying it didn't work because it didn't instantly go to pressure and I had to explain to her that it needs to boil to create the steam to make the pressure.

I just purchased my first instant pot. This was easily the most helpful “get started” video I’ve found. Thank you!
I agree!
Agree here too, this is about the 5th video I've watched. I now feel confident to get started, though one thing he missed to discuss was the inner rubber ring. Make sure to take that out and clean in between meals as well as leave lid open when storing so smells don't accumulate.
Yes I agree! I recently bought the duo 6 qt. I read the manual and it didn't offer much. These UA-cam tutorials are really helpful!
You put some time in your preparation for these videos. I appreciate that. They are done professionally and with some sense of humor. Great job and Thxs!
Undoubtedly the best video I have seen to date on how to use this pot. I bought one 3 years ago, and have never used it until today. Reason being, this video motivated me. Thank you so much! Super duper video!❤❤
The best UA-cam ever! Detail oriented without being condescending and with great humor as well!! I learned so much and was so nervous, now I can hardly wait!! Thank YOU!!!
Hi Jeff, our kids bought us an Instant Pot duo for our anniversary this last summer. We still haven’t used it much at all!

UA-cam VIDEOS PERIOD explains everything better.

Thank you! When I read the manual it scared the crap out of me! You just took my fear away! Thanks so much!❤️👍🏼
Thank you so much! I just received my IP and did the water test and felt I was in over my head. I had no idea what the L0:00 thing was and why in the world was it counting up. Your video is very informative and helped me feel more confident and willing to give this a try.
This is the most helpful, comprehensive guide a visual learner like me could have wished for! Thank you so much, and happy new year!
Thank you! Just got an instant pot and this video was WAY better than instructions that came with it. You answered so many of my questions.
SAME!!
Exactly! The instructions were ridiculous! That’s why I am here!!! Lol
Not only was this a very helpful video to get started on my Instant Pot, but teacher was very likeable & thoroughly explained everything 👏 👌 😀
Why thank you!
I am new to the instant pot and have been digging for the best instructions/information. This is the bomb! You covered it better than the various manufacturer demonstration! Thanks so much.

You’re like one of the only people that really explains it well where it’s actually easy to understand. Thank you and I’ll continue to watch a Videos...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Story time. After watching a lot of videos (especially Jeffry's), I bought 3 IPs in November. One for home and the others for daughters. I bought the Duo Nova.

Thank you! This is the best instant pot tutorial for beginners on UA-cam. Extremely clear, covers all models, and even entertaining. Spot on!
Just opened mine last night...decided to grill burgers instead! This was so very helpful to watch, I no longer fear my Instant Pot!
I am so glad I came across your video, you clarified so many questions I had about how to work my duo mini-thank you!

Great review! I bought one of these tonight, after my older pressure cooker wasn’t building pressure appropriately! I love this thing! It’s great! Love that your review was straight to the point! Good job!
I'm trying for the first time..... Cover me , I'm going in.
hahahahahaaaaaaaaa. I thought the same thing
Not bad at home, good job. I was a little scared when I took my instant pot out of the box. I am going to cook your chicken & dumplings recipe first; I watched you and was very impress. I will watch your videos and cook along with you. Thank you!
I’ve watched like 20 different instant pot videos and you are by far my FAVORITE
Dude, thanks. Your video taught me how to use this thing. Thanks again.

I love reheating in the IP. seems to come out like fresh cooked or better!
As many others commented, this, by far, was the best video in explaining the 'how to' with an IP!! Thank you!

Thank you for this, I was near tears!! I enjoyed your presentation, and it helped my anxiety 😀
THANK YOU so much ! this video was a lifesaver. I bought my Instant Pot in 2017 and now going to use it today for the first time to pressure cook a deer roast. thanks again
"and it's stainless steel so it's so pretty"
I had my IP for nearly a year before I sat down and watched a ton of YT video recipes for the IP. I picked one recipe and just went for it and boy am I glad I did! I now use my IP every single week at least once, but usually more! What a great addition to my kitchen! Love it!
Just bought a new IP and was a little overwhelmed. But I found this so helpful and I feel so much better getting started. I already watched two of your recipes that I hope to try. But you did such a great job going over each button and setting. Will check our your FB as well.
I got an Instant Pot for Christmas this year like so many others in the comments, and it’s all because of you, Jeffrey! I’ve been watching your videos for about years (yeah, I know, without an Instant Pot!)and my husband always watches over my shoulder, so he knew how badly I wanted one. Thanks for so much amazing content-can’t wait to get your cookbook!
how to use an insrapot presher cooker
Your the best at explaining the functions of the instant pot. Also enjoy your FB page and recipes.
I'm so incredibly grateful to have found this video. I have a 3-quart mini and have trouble following recipes because they never seem to match up to anything on my IP. This explained everything I was doing wrong. Plus I sent it on to my son and his fiancee. I gave them an 8-quart as an engagement gift. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Before Black friday I knew of a thing that cooked food fast and bought it. After cyber Monday I had 2 Instant pots heading to my house. After watching countless videos on your channel. Both pots haven't stopped working sence. Marsala, ribs, Brussel sprouts, adobo, Yogurt my favorite and more. This is an awesome tutorial!!!
GARY HILL Just pick mine up today
You have the best UA-cam for the Instant Pot Duo Plus. I just purchased the pot and very excited to start using it. But when I looked at the instruction booklet and then went on their website I realized I was lost. You do a million times better explaining how to start working with the pot. Thank you.

BEST explanation I’ve heard yet. Just bought one and waiting for it to be delivered. 👍🏼
That is valuable information which every user of the Instant Pot should know before cooking with it. I have the 3 Qt pot since I am single and have purchased some of the accessories I can use with it and have to buy a few more so I can do even more with my appliance. I have had my pot for over 1.5 years and got the accessories about 6 months ago, but just too everything out of the boxes and cleaned them. I just cooked some boiled eggs with the pot and they came out perfectly and I will be making pasta dishes next in it and even more dishes as I become more comfortable with it.
You're awesome! Such an informative video but instead of a "Proper" (all business) you are funny too!
Your personality shines thru and I'm subscribing! Thank you.
This was wayyyy more helpful than the owners manual. Thank you so much! I'm making swedish meatballs as my first meal in the instant pot. Now I feel more confident!
I just sent your site over to a bunch of RVers that are somehow having trouble with their Instant Pot! I have instant success with my Instant Pot, but somehow some people have trouble! Hopefully you can help them out!
Just had my Instant Pot Duo delivered today and looked for videos about it. I find it easier to follow a video along rather than an instruction manual. You explained everything really well and my shiny new toy is now ready for the first proper cooking of a meal. Thank you!
I just got an IP Duo...6qt...this video was very helpful...I'm ready to go...Thanks Jeff...
I need the gasket and a valve. I have the XL
best instructional video I have seen in a long time. Right to the point, easy flow, no garbage chatter...just the needed info clear and fast.
You are the best instructor, EVER! This video is SO helpful. Thx so much!
Just got my Instant Pot - this is the most fun video. Never having cooked with a pressure cooker before, I finked out and made my cabbage stew tonight on the stove in a soup pot.....but I'll do a few test runs with the water and next weekend it's a go with the Instant Pot.
You did an amazing job of explaining everything! Thank you so much! I love my pot and I will be following you!
Oh my goodness, you make this so fun!! Thank you. You are my new instant friend! It's great how thorough you are without making me feel stupid... and expressing your expertise as an option is reassuring. Awesome!
Excellent instructional video! You ansewered all my questions! I watched several before this and learned nothing. What I liked best is that you covered BOTH the DUO and the Ultra.
Was never thinking about buying an instant pot but I ran across your videos and now I am awaiting my delivery 🤦🏻♀️ all in one night this happened 🤷🏻♀️could not turn off your videos. Thank you so much for all your hard work! I can’t wait to start cooking♥️
Thank you so much for this video! You explained the functions and process so well that I feel much better ready to jump in and use my Instant Pot! You seem like a very nice person and that helps too. You inspire trust!
Thank you so much for your attitude and sense of fun. It was all that PLUS getting people like me brave enough to start cooking on the pot with all the buttons. Love from Texas...
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP! Your instructions on how to were so clear! You’re a great teacher!
Thank you for this! There were no instructions with mine, and I haven’t been able to find a good video on how to work it until now!
I appreciate it!!!
Same! Thank you!
Wonderful instructions Jeff I can't wait to start cooking.
Oh my goodness I'm so thankful I found you! I just purchased my Instant Pot 8 quart Lux. I'll be doing the water test first, then I'm making a beef roast with vegetables for dinner.
Until I watched your video I was feeling intimidated by all of the confusing institutions and warnings.
You did a TREMENDOUS job of simply and clearly explaining how to get started using my Instant Pot.
Thank you so much!
So glad I found your video! I was getting frustrated; the user manual isn't that clear to me. Other videos I found weren't much better. This is just what I needed. Bless you!
Your a life saver. Your demo took away all of my anxiety about the Ultra pot I received as a gift. A sincere THANK YOU.
Thank you! Men of the Instant Pot unite! 😜
Been starring at my instant pot since Xmas, a gift from my sister. Starting 6#’s of meat for French dip a little late in the day, it should cook for 8 hrs, I cooked this 1 hour 20 minutes, I stuck a big fork in this huge roast, seems very tender, I put the meat back on the stove to keep warm til dinner time. That’s for your tutorial, cooking with pressure is a bit unnerving at 1st, but it went well, thanks for the sound advice and assurances.
Great starter tips and personality! Until I find an Italian UA-cam grandma giving Instant Pot tips, you'll do just fine. Mazeltov!
😅😂😄
Bro, I don't know if you ever took a breath in the whole damn video... I am impressed. I hope InstantPot paid you, because this is a legit, concise, entertaining training video. Thanks man!
This is the PERFECT guide! Thanks so much for making this!
I bought one a few years ago when our crock pot died. We had an old pressure cooker, so I bought this to replace both. Thanks Jefferey, I enjoyed the video, and I bought your recipe books. Money well spent IMO.
Ha... Thanks for pointing out the quick release feature in the spoon thingy! You learn something new every day. 😊
I just got mine and before even reading the menu I already know what to do , JUST BY WATCHING YOUR VIDEO. you are awesome . Thanks for making it so easy to all of us. Greetings from NEW JERSEY.
love your style of teaching
Wish there were tutorials for cooking frozen meats. Can't find a single help anywhere, not even in the flipping manual... No where does it say how to cook diced beef or frozen chicken. Driving me mad :)
@@bobdawkins7473 there are blogs that talk about cooking frozen meats in the pot. I hope this helps.
After checking so many vids in prep for my Instant Pot arrival, yours is the ultimate. You make everything clear and easy to follow. Thank you for this!!!!
Thank you for this “Getting Started” video! Just got mine for Christmas. Can’t wait to use it. Now the real problem will only be : which recipe to make first!
Needs recipe for turkey spaghetti.
Yes! Finally after 4 videos, a REAL instructional vid for beginners! I was given this pot brand new, from a friend (who thought it was too scary) but it had NO manual with it. So glad I kept watching, or I would not have found you. Thank you so much! I feel so much better about my first time trying this machine. Yay! Just liked you on facebook so I can find more recipes...you have a new fan... Mazel Tov!
Best video on Instant Pot I have ever seen. Glad I found you.
THANK YOU! I just got an Instant Pot from someone who didn't use it. She didn't have the instructions and I've been really confused about the display and how it counts down. You've explained it perfectly.
