Thank you. I am a 51 year old man who loves to cook, but I have not ever used the instant pot. My wife was gone today and I decided to try it, but could not figure out the buttons. I watched this video and it was so simple. The chicken is cooking in it now and the kids should be fed soon. Now I have all kinds of ideas for how to use it. Thank you for the simple explanation.
I went to my local thrift store to find a rice cooker. I found a good one, but the gal who runs the shop showed me this brand new, in the box, instant pot pressure cooker that she just got in. She showed me all the cool stuff I could do with it, compared to the rice cooker, and she recommended your channel for directions and recipes.... I went ahead and got the instant pot, now here I am. Hi👋
As a visual learner, I’m so grateful for this video! I’m an experienced cook but have always been afraid of pressure cookers. But I’m facing my fears in order to make my own beans and save money/sodium.
You are a wonderfully accomplished and engaging presenter. As a Senior of a certain age I have finally managed to get around to buying an IP, following my son's example. This is the video where I 'found' you, just last night, and I am looking forward to many hours of browsing both the tips and the recipes. It's wonderful that you have provided a series of Recipes that are intro level. And you are the only one I have come across to emphasize the importance of NOT transporting the pot by the handle - filled, empty or otherwise! Cheers.
Best ever, glad I wrote your site down. You make more sense that 100 of those ladies who really try to make sense , and then it's the next day, and you still are confused. Awesome. Thank you. From a single guy.
Young lady you are my saviour. I bought an Instant Pot here in Thailand, I opened it and looked at it for several days. My cat who knows everything was even confused. Thankyou so much much for your video. Many many thanks.😁😼
I absolutely love you, lady. No joke, I got one of these for Christmas a couple years ago and it barely made it out of the box before it was back in, the buttons, lid, it was all too overwhelming. I have never used a pressure cooker before, always just used my trust crockpot but I don't have it anymore. Also, I low key was afraid I would set it wrong and it would explode, and blow a hole in my kitchen. (LOL) Anyway, I was going to re-gift this or trade it for something I could comprehend, lol. That was, till I watched this. I am going to pull my pot out tonight and try making some chicken breast. I think I can handle it now, so THANK YOU for this!!!!!
My daughter bought me one a few years back for Christmas. After ripping off the wrapping paper. She said be very careful, you could get seriously burned. I put the box away. Today I am going to try it, thanks to your video's. Its 95 degrees out in October October..Didn't want to cook. Now I can.
This is literally EXACTLY me. Got my instant pot in late 2021, and never used it. Finally plucked up the courage to take it out, clean all the dust off, and started looking at youtube tutorials. And I found this video!
Oh my goodness thank you for this!!!! Our little 6qt beauty has been sitting in the pantry for a year! I love the thoughtful and thorough explanations.
Thank you for making the Istant pot make sense! I’ve read manual, watched other videos and got more confused, now I’m looking forward to finally using my pot I bought a year ago!
I took delivery of mine yesterday. I've had a stove-top WMF (I live in Germany) pressure cooker for over 10 years, but I hate having to hang around the cooker to keep an eye on it. It's also - now - far too big for me (I think 5-6 litre capacity and all of my birds have flown the nest so it's just me now 😁. I'm 62 and provide a hot lunch (with a colleague) on weekdays for ca. 140 x 6-10 year old schoolkids. I lose interest every now and again in cooking for myself but my mum (83, widow since May this year) LOVES cooking and is always sending me youtube links :) She recommended some videos, which I watched, and then I found you and I thought I might give this a go. I have the small instant pot, which is more than enough for me, and I'm looking forward to making the most of it :)
7/11/23: This video was extremely informative (I saw your "what not to do" video as well) and I took good written and mental notes. I'm waiting for my delivery person to bring my 8 qt. IP to me today and I'm so excited. I've done my homework between what you've shared and others I've watched over the past 2 weeks, so I'm ready to tackle this monster of a machine. Thank you for your expertise in carving the way for those of us who are new to this product. I hope to become as knowledgeable over time so that I can whip out a meal whenever I need to safely. 😃
Thank you for introducing me to the Instant pot. Also, you are an excellent instructor and it is so refreshing to hear someone who doesn’t drop or silence the t in words like button and important.
Thank you so much!! I am brand new to pressure cooking and received my new Instant Pot Duo+ a week ago and have been resistant to try. I now feel a little more confident and ready to have a go!! Thank you!
Thanks! I use 10 qt. I learned to make spaghetti with meat sauce in my insta pot. My son is Autistic has only a few foods he can eat. For a large batch of spaghetti, I upgrade to the 10 qt, because of the amount of liquid I need to cover the "cooked" ground beef, spaghetti noodles and marina sauce, without going over the max line. I also use the large one for the same reasons for NOLA red beans and rice with ham bones. He doesn't like the red beans and rice, but I make it occasionally for my friends and family. But I do use it every Sunday to easily make a large batch of spaghetti for the week for him. I just found your videos, and thanks for explaining the buttons!
What did we do before UA-cam? Now I get a new appliance and there's someone who can teach me everything I need to know about it. And they do it in a succinct and clear way. THANK YOU! This is a great video. I just got an Instant Pot for Christmas and can't wait to use it. But there's a lot to learn!
I love my Instant Pot and use it 3-4 times a week. I never thought of using the Sauté function AFTER pressure cooking, good to know it’s an option. Your tutorials are VERY helpful!
I just used my new Instant Pot DUO two nights ago. The starting instructions included w/ the IPD really don't explain very well how to use it. I made some chicken, and had issues with understanding the display and how the IPD operates. THANK YOU for making this very informative video, it answered all my questions.
Sis said, "Set yourself up for success by cooking water first..." 😅 I bought the book because she actually knows what she's doing and how to communicate that without overwhelming people... like me...
You might want to consider buying the latest lid as I bought the 8 quart Duo and it is a seal/vent switch that automatically always switches it to seal every time you put the lid on, not simply turning the knob to seal or vent. I'm only suggesting this because some people might be very confused that you're using the old model lid where they have a switch
I just bought one with that feature and can't find a review anywhere that goes over that new feature or the new seal/vent sliding button. I have the 7 in 1 duo and just got it at Target
Oh thanks, I was struggling with the pressure buttons , and then I looked up mine , and noticed it seal’s automatically when you close lid !! So I almost burned myself good tip
Thank you for being SO articulate and thorough! Your videos are a pleasure to watch and VERY informative! I no longer hate dragging my instant pot out of the cupboard! 😂🎉🎉🎉
Yep! I bought my IP 10 months ago. And then talked myself out of using it because it would be too difficult, complicated and dangerous. Tonight I finally got over my self-induced fear and cooked quinoa in it. It was great! Lentil soup will be next!
This is the most helpful video I’ve watched! I was overwhelmed with even trying to read the book to understand HOW to use the insta pot. So instead it sat in the box unused! Now I’m confident! Thank you!!!!
I have an instant pot and I use it. Not all the time but use it now and then. I love the instant pot . I have a crock pot I use and a Dutch oven so I try to use them all during the month. Never had an electric pressure cooker till I was in my 50’s. Love my instant pot! I love getting ideas and new recipes . So helpful. My mom had the pressure cooker you use on the stove that you put a knob on and it rocks. TFS.
Yesterday I made eggs(2 minute profile!) in my Duo Nova. I set it and came back 5 minutes later. Steam was coming out around the lid, and then it occurred to me that I had left the sealing ring in the dishwasher. I ended up running the pot dry, again without thinking. Eggs came out fine somehow, but dont be me. Always check the sealing ring is in place. Always!
I've got an Instant Pot Viva that I bought on clearance at my local Canadian Tire for $110, from $180 original retail price. I looked at the date code, and it was manufactured in 2019. It automatically sets itself to sealed when I put on the lid, and I push a button to release the steam. It also has an awesome sauté temperature. Like, I can brown meat so well in it! I sometimes have to turn it back because it will burn at the More setting if I'm leaving the food to brown without stirring. It's definitely comparable to my stovetop settings.
I bought the Instant pot duo today and watched all the major UA-cam videos on its usages, this one no doubt in my mind is the best for the beginners. Well done, thank you❤
Thank you, I've had my instant pot for a while now, but never really knew how to use it, too many buttons, now I know it's not so scary, thanks for putting it so simple to understand :)
I learned more in the first 10 minutes than the 3 other videos I already watched combined. You taught me about all the different functions and moved on without constantly over explaining yourself. AND, you made it all seem so simple, I'm excited to finally start using my Instant Pot. That is why I subscribed and you are now my first go to for recipe ideas or questions. No pressure though.
Thank you for this video! I bought my pot about 3 years ago and probably have used it a handful of times. Today, I wanted to cook some greens and forget to not press the delay start button. Now, everything’s working alright after your instructions.
I've been using a Drew & Cole pressure cooker 4.8l for a while now, best thing since the invention of the Air Fryer. But had to upgrade recently as needed more capacity & decided on the Instant Pot Pro 8L capacity. First thing I noticed that started to infuriate me is the Burn error. Nothing was burning, it was due to the source in what I was cooking being too thick, but I couldn't water it down as it would spoil the sauce. For weeks it was doing my head in to the point I was tempted to give it away & go back to my tried & trusted Drew & Cole. But then I noticed something I hadn't before, a Low & High setting. I assumed it was for heat, but it was in fact for the pressure. Low pressure takes longer, High pressure cooks faster. Since setting it to Low on foods that normally result in Burn error before it starts to cook, I've not had this problem. It takes a bit of getting used to, working out how sensitive it is for each type of foods I cook but once you crack it, it works amazingly well. I just wish they fix the Burn error because it's caused when the device gets too hot, usually indicating that something has started to burn, but it's an incorrect error I think they should fix with newer models because it's way too sensitive. What I cook in my Drew & Cole without issue, gives me Burn error with Instant Pot, and I can't help but wonder how many people have avoided this or returned it because of it. Fix this, it's an outstanding product.
Hi. I love your video. Just an opinion... it would be nice if you have this video in CC Spanish, so people who speak Spanish learn how to use the pressure cooker. I love mine but I have some friends that are afraid to use it because they don't understand all the buttons and tricks. Thank you
Seek Facts Not Fiction: Same here. An 8 qt. Xmas gift 2 years ago. Realized I was afraid to use it. Took it out of the box, looked at it, then put it back in the box to sit on a shelf (lol.)
You are SUCH a good teacher, I was going to ask if you are a teacher by training -- then I saw you have 244K subscribers, so you are clearly teaching full time I assume :)
I'm a truck driver and i bought the 6 quart, it was the smallest they had with the stainless steel bowl. Didn't really work for me, i mess up my 1500 watt inverter. I found the 3 quart and it is perfect for cooking on the road.
Thank you, I'm using the instant pot for the first time today, I was following a video of a lady that was making pulled pork but, she didn't tell how to use the buttons so I was really lost using it! My son had ordered the pot and took everything out of the box, I don't think it even came with an instruction book?!! I'm so glad I ran across your video! You answered every question I had! ❤👍 We got the 6 quart, I think one button is different then yours but, you still covered that too! The top is also a bit different but, easy to figure out. 😊
Really great introduction. I just bought a Pressure cooker and was a little hesitant. You covered all the facets other people's videos glossed over. Thank you for being so detailed.
THANK YOU-- this is GENIUS-- no one else has thought to even mention HOW to use this blooming thing!!! ha. I've never cooked and I have one of these and an air fryer and am learning things to cook that i NEED to be eating and are healthy-- and how to cook it QUICKLY and so it's GOOD-- My cooking before these tools was not good-- last time there were buzzards circling overhead!! ha.
AWESOME Tutorial. Wow so so happy to have found you. I bought an Instant Pot 3 years ago and used it once but I was so confused with the process but also so afraid. Thank you for all your analogies and visualizations (the Coke can image and the valve moving up) as I needed to understand the process. I was always afraid as the valve on my Instant pot was not functioning like the other instant pots or the manual. My valve has the tip colored in red and it when the pressure is high, the valve sticks up even more than the other models. When the pressure is gone, then the valve is just flushed with the lid whereas your valve sinks a bit more. So now I am confident with my machine as I understand what is happening. Thank you so much. I will check your next video (not to do) and check your recipes. Quelle belle découverte. Mille mercis.
Thank you so much for taking time to explain how to use the instant pressure cooker for the beginner like myself. I'm so grateful. You are an amazing person.
What a sweet sounding young lady! Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I have never used an instant pot or even a pressure cooker. I'm looking forward to this. Mine belonged to a friend of mine and she got a bigger one and gave me the one she had before. No directions included so I'm grateful for the tutorial.
My mom got the instant pot cooker for me for my birthday ever since I started cooking for me or for my boyfriend. These videos have been very helpful with me understanding more on my instant pot. Thank you for making these videos!
Thank you so much! Mine has been waiting for me to learn it for a couple of months, but I've been doing along with you. Shutting off the sound is sooooo wonderful! Black beans after water test right now!
Yep. I have an Instapot sitting on the counter collecting dust for years (it was a gift) because I refuse to read the manual (that I don't even know where it is anymore). But now I need to use it.
The instant pot is a life changing appliance (for the better). I have realized, that food is one of the sacred joys in life, we only get to eat so many meals in life, and then that's it! So, meals are so important. The instant pot, however, does take education, and nuance to know how to use properly. So this information is vital! Thank you!
This is a genuine and expert review of the instant pot. After your thorough review it helped me not to buy this item because its so multifunctional and complicated that I won’t have ease of mind using it. An alternative rice cooker is best fit for me because I really only want a rice cooker and rice cooker are too simple to use compared to Insta Pot. Also if I bought this I won’t use it for many reasons that it is capable for.
Thank you Lisa for this awesome vid. 👏👏👏 I just got the duo 6 qt and your great vids help me a lot. Already tried it with pea and meat soup came out amazing. And just learned that the saute feature has several levels. Thanks again and keep on the good work.
Recommended this site to someone who was selling a new pressure cooker. She said she is going to watch and try her in box new pressure cooker. Awesome video!
A Great Video! Thank you! I've done pressure cooking and pressure canning on the stovetop, but I'm new to the Instant Pot... I'm watching this After my wife bought one for herself, then didn't want to take it out of the box!
Thank you so much! Bought my first instant pot and made my first meal because of your Videos and especially this! (I made sure I did the water this first before use😂) Loving my instant pot
Thank you. I am a 51 year old man who loves to cook, but I have not ever used the instant pot. My wife was gone today and I decided to try it, but could not figure out the buttons. I watched this video and it was so simple. The chicken is cooking in it now and the kids should be fed soon. Now I have all kinds of ideas for how to use it. Thank you for the simple explanation.
😮😂 i b j

Love this!!
Wow! Most men wouldn’t bother. Your wife is a lucky lady! 😊 👍
Never say old
@@mik20241 kind of an unnecessary comment but it is true i guess. Fellow man who cooks here
Best teacher Award!
You talk too fast😢
Oh my. This is a must watch video for all beginner. The Instant Pot is so scary until it isn't after watching this video.
I went to my local thrift store to find a rice cooker. I found a good one, but the gal who runs the shop showed me this brand new, in the box, instant pot pressure cooker that she just got in. She showed me all the cool stuff I could do with it, compared to the rice cooker, and she recommended your channel for directions and recipes.... I went ahead and got the instant pot, now here I am.
Hi👋
Rice cooks really nice in a instant pot
Awesome! Good for you.
As a visual learner, I’m so grateful for this video! I’m an experienced cook but have always been afraid of pressure cookers. But I’m facing my fears in order to make my own beans and save money/sodium.
The same here.....I got my visual learning style from my dad. Can't much follow written directions since they become a jumble in my mind.
me too
You are a wonderfully accomplished and engaging presenter. As a Senior of a certain age I have finally managed to get around to buying an IP, following my son's example. This is the video where I 'found' you, just last night, and I am looking forward to many hours of browsing both the tips and the recipes. It's wonderful that you have provided a series of Recipes that are intro level. And you are the only one I have come across to emphasize the importance of NOT transporting the pot by the handle - filled, empty or otherwise! Cheers.
Thank you. I was confused and overwhelmed using the Instant Pot. You clarified a lot of things.

Thanks!
thank you SO much!! so kind!
SO helpful. I'm enjoying your videos. Clear and informative.
Thank you so much. I have had my insta pot for five years and only used once. You explained yourself really well and I am not afraid to use it anymore
_This video was made for me! I bought the 8qtr and it has been sitting there for 2 yrs now! Still in its box lol_

Such a great video, her presentation is so thorough and understandable. She is a great presenter. Thanks for the video. Awesome.
I am a newbie! Enjoying your tutorials! So I can learn what the heck I am doing! Thank you
OMGosh you did an awesome job with this. I really enjoyed it and all the information was easily absorbed in my mind. Thanks so much!
Thank you, I'm using the instant pot for the first time today, I was following a video of a lady that was making pulled pork but, she didn't tell how to use the buttons so I was really lost using it! My son had ordered the pot and took everything out of the box, I don't think it even came with an instruction book?!! I'm so glad I ran across your video! You answered every question I had! ❤👍
We got the 6 quart, I think one button is different then yours but, you still covered that too! The top is also a bit different but, easy to figure out. 😊
Really great introduction. I just bought a Pressure cooker and was a little hesitant. You covered all the facets other people's videos glossed over. Thank you for being so detailed.
THANK YOU-- this is GENIUS-- no one else has thought to even mention HOW to use this blooming thing!!! ha. I've never cooked and I have one of these and an air fryer and am learning things to cook that i NEED to be eating and are healthy-- and how to cook it QUICKLY and so it's GOOD-- My cooking before these tools was not good-- last time there were buzzards circling overhead!! ha.
AWESOME Tutorial. Wow so so happy to have found you. I bought an Instant Pot 3 years ago and used it once but I was so confused with the process but also so afraid. Thank you for all your analogies and visualizations (the Coke can image and the valve moving up) as I needed to understand the process. I was always afraid as the valve on my Instant pot was not functioning like the other instant pots or the manual. My valve has the tip colored in red and it when the pressure is high, the valve sticks up even more than the other models. When the pressure is gone, then the valve is just flushed with the lid whereas your valve sinks a bit more. So now I am confident with my machine as I understand what is happening. Thank you so much. I will check your next video (not to do) and check your recipes. Quelle belle découverte. Mille mercis.
I love your channel! Thank you for making it easy for me not to be intimidated by my Instant pot!💕
Thank you so much for taking time to explain how to use the instant pressure cooker for the beginner like myself.
I'm so grateful.
You are an amazing person.
You are so good at explaining how it works! Thank you so much!
When you know so much, you make teaching so easy and lucid. Thanks a lot.
What a sweet sounding young lady! Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I have never used an instant pot or even a pressure cooker. I'm looking forward to this. Mine belonged to a friend of mine and she got a bigger one and gave me the one she had before. No directions included so I'm grateful for the tutorial.
my first IP video and it is a great one. very well done, NO QUESTIONS! thank you!
My mom got the instant pot cooker for me for my birthday ever since I started cooking for me or for my boyfriend. These videos have been very helpful with me understanding more on my instant pot. Thank you for making these videos!
This is the best, informative, descriptive video I've ever watched. Thank you so much. I'm bling and this gal helps me in my life!!
Thank you so much! Mine has been waiting for me to learn it for a couple of months, but I've been doing along with you. Shutting off the sound is sooooo wonderful! Black beans after water test right now!
Thank you so much, you made is so much easier to understand how to use this, I was feeling very overwhelmed and confused
What an informational, easy to understand, and mind-easing video for an IP first timer. Thank you!
PS You are so well spoken you are a pleasure to listen to. Thanks again!
Great video! You are an excellent teacher!
This is the best instapot video i have ever watched, so informative and clear speaking thank you
You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Wow the best video I’ve ever seen with so detailed and clear explanation great for beginner.
Thank you! Finally a helpful explanation while being shown. It was hard to figure out on my own so truly appreciate it.
Thank you for being so thorough! Your videos are a pleasure to watch informative! I no longer hate dragging my instant pot out😁
SUPERB presentation. Thank you... you have relieved me of my new-kitchen-thingy anxiety! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Yep. I have an Instapot sitting on the counter collecting dust for years (it was a gift) because I refuse to read the manual (that I don't even know where it is anymore). But now I need to use it.
Excellent presentation, thanks
Great instructions. I’m learning so much. I didn’t know about Lid rest. Awesome. ❤❤❤
The instant pot is a life changing appliance (for the better). I have realized, that food is one of the sacred joys in life, we only get to eat so many meals in life, and then that's it! So, meals are so important. The instant pot, however, does take education, and nuance to know how to use properly. So this information is vital! Thank you!
This is a genuine and expert review of the instant pot. After your thorough review it helped me not to buy this item because its so multifunctional and complicated that I won’t have ease of mind using it. An alternative rice cooker is best fit for me because I really only want a rice cooker and rice cooker are too simple to use compared to Insta Pot. Also if I bought this I won’t use it for many reasons that it is capable for.
Thank you Lisa for this awesome vid. 👏👏👏
I just got the duo 6 qt and your great vids help me a lot. Already tried it with pea and meat soup came out amazing. And just learned that the saute feature has several levels.
Thanks again and keep on the good work.
Omg thank you for this instruction video. I've had my IP for 6 months and been overwhelmed and scared to try it. You have elevated all my fears.❤
Thank you so much! I'm new and had so many questions that you answered. I will definitely watch more and follow you. You are fantastic
Recommended this site to someone who was selling a new pressure cooker. She said she is going to watch and try her in box new pressure cooker. Awesome video!
Thank you, I got my 3 qt yesterday and I've already cooked broccoli, red cabbage and brown basmati rice.
My brand is Insignia and although it is quite different some of your tips were needed. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for the detailed instructions!
A Great Video! Thank you! I've done pressure cooking and pressure canning on the stovetop, but I'm new to the Instant Pot... I'm watching this After my wife bought one for herself, then didn't want to take it out of the box!
Wonderfully helpful and delightfully presented, as always. Thanks so much Lisa. 💖😉👍
Excellent video. Now I can use my Instant Pot after being stored in the cabinet for 2 months ❤
Thank you
Well now, that was an awesome explanation of how to use my new instant pot!! Thanks!
Excellent video. This totally helped me to understand the workings of the Instant pot.

Thank you so much! Bought my first instant pot and made my first meal because of your
