I love the popcorn and the bread dough proofing ideas.
I make Greek yogurt in my Instant Pot EVERY week! I gallon of milk makes 64 oz (2 tubs) of delicious yogurt! (1) Add milk to liner then cover and use the Yogurt "boil" function to heat milk to 180F. (2) Remove liner and cool in water bath to 90-100F. (3) Thoroughly mix in 2 Tbsp of yogurt-of choice containing live active cultures, then place liner back in Instant Pot and use the Yogurt setting to culture for 8-10 hrs (more time = more tangy yogurt). (4) Once done, you can eat it as is or strain the whey using cheese cloth and a colander for 3-6 hrs in the fridge. SO easy!
Good instructions. That’s how I do it and it always turns out perfect.
Thanks for this! I buy Greek yogurt for my little boys every week, and it can get expensive ($7 for a large tub of plain Greek organic yogurt where I live). I’ll definitely try this.
I absolutely LOVE making my own yogurt this way. I agree, it’s so easy!
Oh I do labneh this way (got a similar machine). I also chuck in 1 cup of powdered milk per litre of fresh... and use a alternated blend of yoghurt and probiitic (cheapies one time expensive the next, to get more cultures in there) capsules. Then strain the yoghurt (you can use a kitchen towel and colender or a tupperware gadget). Whenever i need sour cream or sometimes even cream cheese in a recipe... this is my GOTO sub as well as breakfast most mornings.
I do this as well same basic recipe and then at the end I stir in fruit and toss it in my dehydrator for on the go yogurt bites soo great and I can control how much sugar I am getting.
I reheat most of my food in my instant pot, but I use the pot-in-pot method. Put food in an enclosed pot into the IP and pressure cook that. It works beautifully, especially for pastas. Yes, it takes more time than the microwave, but the quality is much better.
OK, I did not know that about the lid being designed to sit on the top edge! I dislike sitting it on the counter, and that tip was worth watching the video for.
I have the Lux model and sadly there is no where to place the lid when it's open.
On groups I am I have seen people break their IP's doing that :(
I received an instant pot for Christmas and enjoy watching your videos showing different things you can make with it - Thank you !
I'll be making Dulce du Leche for our morning oatmeal and coffee! Making applesauce and cranberry sauce is simple too. Lisa, your influence on my grocery budget has been a blessing. ❤
Great tips!!! Thank you!🙏🏾
Love that you share your experiences with us about the instant pot!
Thank you for sharing
You are my absolute favorite channel for the instant pot!!❤
I love your book! I love your yogurt recipe too. I make it all of the time and store it in small mason jars. My husband adds his own honey or fruit spread and takes it to work for his lunch!
Thanks for doing all of the research and sharing with us.
Just ordered your cookbook. Can't wait to receive it!
Thank you for this Richard. It really hit home for me.
I knew about the yogurt: you taught me! I am on my fourth batch, and it's wonderful. Thanks!
Wow THANK YOU!!!
I love the popcorn tip. I buy kernels all the time and make it on the stove but I love this because it’ll be a bit more controlled of the heat, like u said and not worry about my kids getting hurt potentially, or heck even me 😂 other tips in her was great as well. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your tips, they were very helpful and you’re the reason why I bought 2 instant pots 3 qt & 6 qt. Cooking has been so much easier for me. Thank you!😊
Does the 3 qt work as well as 6 qt??
Oh my goodness girl I’m using these ideas thank u so much for sharing
I learned how to make yogurt from you. I make it all the time now and it's so much healthier and tastier than store bought. Thank you.
Thank you!😊
I use mine mostly for lasagna soup before I started the carnivore life but I make yogurt about twice a week a gallon at a time for me and the hubby. We love yogurt and it's our only thing that resembles a dessert 🍨. Should not be surprised at all but for some reason proofing bread and popcorn just blew my mind...lol I almost always check your videos when I want to make something new. You always have such awesome information. Maybe you could do some carnivore recipes sometime in the future?? Thank you for sharing all you do!!❤❤❤
As a fellow carnivore, please review and critique our recipe. Put 1/2 gallon milk in insert; temperature [115⁰F] (to retain live cultures of RAW milk). Remove insert; and set aside to cool until 110⁰F.
Place jars & lids in hot water; and set aside. Make sure to have a 3T jar for next batch.
In separate bowl, whisk 1 cup cooled milk and 3 T live yogurt; return to insert and whisk.
Ladle into jars; cover; add hot water to half-height of jars. Lock lid; set [yogurt] [normal] at 4 hours
Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Thank you, I’ve been using my Instant Pot for years but in a very limited way. This has expanded my knowledge!
Great ideas; thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Thanks for the great tips!
thanks for watching!! - Lisa
Just bought your book. Thanks for the discount and free shipping. 🤩👍🏻👍🏻
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you!!!
I've been making yogurt in my instant pot for a few years now. One thing to consider is diabetes and lactose. I ferment mine 22 hours so the bulk of the lactose has been devoured by the cultures. I use allulose for a sweetener.
What do you do to ferment it? Is there something you add or just wait 22 hours?
@@klimtkahlo Watch her video on how to make yogurt. Yes you have to add something-usually a few spoons of already made yogurt with live bacterias.
If you watch UA-camrs '2 Krazy Ketos' they have a recipe for lower-sugar, homemade IP yogurt. I believe they start it with Fair Life milk and Fage yogurt.❤❤
Wonderful tips and tricks!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Wow! Thanks so much! I love my InstaPot Max and your video showed me some new tricks!
Just ordered your cook book. Can’t wait to get started 😊❤
Hope you like it! Thank you!
I love to make healthy popcorn in mine! I use organic kernels and coconut oil. When done I’ll put in a little pat of butter in the IP along with a little salt. So easy and love watching them pop!
MK, how much kernels do you put in the pot for popcorn, I would like to try it?
If you could give the recipe, please & thank you.✌💜
I love mine, such a game changer in the kitchen here.
You’re Wonderful,
Helpful, so Pleasant, and Pretty too! Lady, You’re Cookin’! lol 😂 I can’t wait to put your cookbook in my budget! Thanks for all of the hard work you do and videos! Blessings!😃🌷
Very cool ideas!! I have both 6 & 8qt IP but I want to get the 3qt as well. Mine are all the Duo's. A and have a couple air fryer combos as well.
All the work you do to share your tips and recipes are so appreciated. You are one of my very favorite accounts that I subscribe to and I try never to miss a video. Thank you so much for all your effort, you are the best!
Oh my gosh! Carla you made my entire week! Sometimes I want to just throw the towel in, but it's comments like this that get me through! Thank you!
A book with picture and QR codes! Great idea
I’m new to your channel and enjoyed your video. Do you have a beginners InstantPot cook book?
Just discovered your channel, thanks for the tips. I use raw kernels, how much and how long to pop in the Instant Pot?
Great ideas using for popcorn when we camp and have electricity trying condensed milk thanks
I make yogurt all the time. When my brother visits I always make a batch for him. He loves it. 😊
FaBuLous!
Do you have any whole food plant-based recipes for the instant pot?
I am new to this channel, but Rainbow Plant Life has a lot of videos for plant based instant pot. Her Instant pot cookbook is amazing, and every single recipe of hers has been a huge hit. Even my picky kids will eat a few of them.
@@HalleluYahuah thank you so much
You have now given me a reason to buy an InstantPot POPCORN!!! SWEET!!!
i actually learned a few things from this video ive only had an instant pot for a year and only have been using 2 functions this whole time
Dulce de leche! Yum 😋
I enjoy your channel. I’d like you to expand your yogurt instructions to how to make yogurt in models that don’t have the yogurt feature like some of the professional models that have sous vide instead. Yes it can be done it requires the heating/cooling of the milk (I do that on my stove so I can ice bath to cool it quickly no waiting for the IP to cool either) then once cooled I transfer the milk to my liner for the addition of the inoculation, select the time and temperature. It may be a longer process than models with the yogurt setting (don’t know I don’t have that feature). There isn’t a video out there. I’d like to see both bulk and individual container methods. I do a bulk culture and strain mine for a thicker more Greek yogurt style end product. Hopefully you’ll be willing to make a how to video.
My Instant Pot has been used for bone broth as much as anything else. I can't wait to try out the lid hack.
I made goat/sheep yogurt. It was tasty 😊
It depends on which model of Instant Pot you have with the handle/lid hack. My handles aren’t compatible.
Popcorn! Never thought of that!
Thanks, straight cold from the ref/freezer we can put the cole liner and turn on the Instant Pot?
Yep. Totally works. Been doing it for years.
I let mine rest just a little bit and wipe off the sweat before putting mine in unit.
I would like to know if I can use half pints in iPod, Max and double stack or even use half pints. I can’t find any information on it. Thank you.
Just found you online. Great channel thanks for all the great tips. I have a question. I pressure cook a whole chicken in the instant pot once a week and the rubber liner smells. I know you can put the liner in the dishwasher but I never use our dishwasher. Do you have another suggestion for getting the smell out. I also know that some people have more than one rubber liner. I don’t want to do that either. Thanks in advance and great channel. Karen.
Hi! Ok I thought I had a recent video on this, but I guess I don't and will need to do an updated one! Here's my How to Clean Your Instant Pot video. ua-cam.com/video/dZgACiivovs/v-deo.html
I also have a free How to Clean Your Instant Pot from Top to Bottom PDF guide available on my website, triedtestedandtrue.com/ Just go to the homepage and scroll down a little bit to get that!
I usually put the sealing ring in the dishwasher as well, but you can also just wash it with soap or soak it in vinegar. I also highly recommend not storing the ring inside of the pot while in storage.
I appreciate that you are teaching younger people what can be done with heat control and a suitable container. In my opinion (as a certified old fart) the Instant pot is as versatile as (and less work than) a good fire and a dozen cooking vessels. The only limitation is that it can't cool things so I can make a Lager beer in the Summer without needing to use another appliance.
Popcorn in an electric wok is great and easy and makes a huge amount.
Popcorn blew my mind 😳
Hi, I have been really enjoying your videos. Do you know of a brand of Insta pot that you can control by your phone? I am asking because I am totally blind and I have voiceover on my iPhone anyways I was just wondering if you had a recommendation
I am totally blind also. I have to voice text so hopefully I can give you the whole message here. My grandson told me what the buttons were on the instant pot. I put them on a digital recorder so I could remember them. I like the sound on the pot because I know what I’m doing. if you have any questions, maybe I can help you. Thank you.
I just thought of something else. If I use the sauté function on the instant pot, I remember what setting I had it on when I used it last meaning low normal or high.
Sometimes when I forget what setting the sauté function is on, I have to ask somebody and then I go from there.
Thank you for this video. I was only thinking about where to proof my dough when winter comes.
Watching your videos I just bought an instant pot the one question about the yogurt making can I use lactose-free whole milk and lactose-free yogurt or plant-based yogurt
I have a full guide which should answer your questions here: triedtestedandtrue.com/simple-instant-pot-2-ingredient-yogurt/ :)
Instant pot makes the perfect hard boiled eggs everytime. 2.5 cups of water, place the eggs on the trivet, pressure cook high 5 minutes, natural release 5 minutes, then 5 minutes in an ice bath. The shells come right off. I've used this same ratio for up to 3 dozen at a time, and they always turn out perfect.
I’ve been wanting an IP for ages, but live in a studio apt, so I don’t have space to keep it out. Is the smaller one (4qt?) too heavy to put away???
IP’s aren’t heavy at all. I keep mine in my pantry on a shelf.
What was that plastic lid you had for the pot? And can I order one?
It's a special lid designed for the liner. I use it all the time! here's an (affiliate) link: urlgeni.us/amazon/n9cmR :)
A couple weeks ago I prepped ahead a Chicken and Noodle soup recipe the morning of day I was cooking it for dinner. I put the pan in the cooker and started it and it never came up to pressure and then when I opened it to see what was going on, all the ingredients were stuck to the bottom of the pot. What do you think happened here? I don't want to try to prep ahead if the whole meal is ruined later.
Totally get it. When prepping ahead, it's definitely important to stir the ingredients up before pressure cooking to ensure nothing has solidified to the bottom of the pot. There needs to be enough room for the liquid in the pot to boil and create the steam necessary to pressurize. Also, did you have noodles in the pot with it? Those may have disintegrated into the liquid, causing it become sludgy and burn.
Does anyone know if one could make sugar free dulce de leche in the IP using homemade sweetened condensed milk? I do love my IP but for me, its usually yogurt , made in quart jars in the IP for less clean up, hard boiled eggs (so easy!) and meat. 😊
I've never worked with sugar free SCM but as long as the sugar substitute in it will caramelize like regular sugar, it should work. Let us know if you try it!
I love how you say button 😅 "butt tin" so cute
Lol I used to make educational software documentation tutorial videos, and that was one thing I was told to do when making the voiceovers is to always say BUTT-ON instead of BUTTIN like all Utahns say hahaha. Can't say it any other way anymore.
I’ve been super confused about the “low, medium , and high” options when using the “pressure cook” option. Everyone seems to say use high but why have those options if they are never used?
I use them VERY sparingly. It's like how your microwave has different strengths but you use the high power 99.999999% of the time (if not 100%!). There are very specific recipes were using low pressure is better when cooking super tender and delicate foods like fresh lobster or broccoli that cooks fast.
Banoffee pie!
My IP doesn't have yogurt cycle. Is there a way to proof bread and make yogurt in mine?
Do you have an Instant Pot Lux? If so, there's not a function with a low enough heat to do yogurt and proof :(
When proofing bread, do you turn the IP on or not?
Yes you turn it on. As noted in the video, I use medium yogurt setting until risen.
Hi Lisa! I’ve always wondered if I need to have several Instant Pot liners for raw meat, vegetables and even yogurt? Please let me know! Hopefully not! Thank you!
Oh absolutely not! It’s nice to have extra liners but it is definitely not needed. The most important thing is washing your ring and lid to make sure it is clean and doesn’t smell bad if your making yogurt
Great news about the sound off button! The beep sends my dog over the edge, and my dog is not the only one.
What setting do you use for proofing bread dough? The video shows you pushing buttons but you did not mention what you pressed.
If you keep watching it does say low or medium yogurt setting :)
You're usually into really healthy food so I am surprised you buy microwave popcorn, especially after cutting open the package and seeing what's in there. Just buy popcorn kernels and use a little oil to pop it. Even if you add butter as a topping, it's much better for you! (It's a lot cheaper, too!) The basic Instant Pots (Lux) don't have the slots for the lids. I found a 3 qt. at Goodwill for less than $10 and absolutely love it except for having to find a spot to put a hot lid.
I did the Carmel in a pan on the stove and forgot about it and it exploded. It would be so much easier with the insta pot
I gotta try making pop corn in my Instant Pot. When proofing a loaf of bread, I would use a glass lid rather than the IP lid in case it rises too much and forces the pin on the lid up. You’d never get the lid off.
Groth1m, will you share your procedure for puffing bread, and what size pot for one loaf?
@@dorothybrown8859 hivDorothy, I don’t actually have any procedures for proofing bread, Lisa Childs is correct t that you can do it but I would use a glass lid rather than the Instant Pot lid.
@@groth1m OK, thanks! Boy, I should have made sure my words weren't changed before I hit post on my initial question.
Can I sterilize glass bottles, mason jars and cups in my IP?
What would you get if you heated a can of coconut milk in the IP?
It would just be hot coconut milk :) are you talking about coconut sweetened condensed milk? SCM has a ton of sugar, which is what makes Dulce de leche. I think you could definitely try it with coconut scm but I have not tested it
@@Lisa.Childs not SCM. I just wanted to know if you can heat cans in the IP without exploding. It’s sounds delicious, but because of the sugar content I wouldn’t use any SCM. To you and everyone else, ENJOY! 😊
You can only make yogurt if you have that function on your instant pot, right?
When proofing bread dough do not use the pressure canning lid. If the dough rises too tall you will have a lot of trouble cleaning that lid. Use a glass lid or a plate to cover the pot.
Only certain model instant pots have the nifty slots for you to put your lid on. We have the middle size one but not sure of the model no. Nope, mine has to quickly go someplace else. yes, it is Insta pot brand.
I am so bummed, one of the screws fell out of my IP Duo air fry lid and went down the sink drain.
one tip I hear before was to use it to boil eggs.
A bit off topic, but if you want to make your liner as shiny as it came, Barkeeper's Friend will do wonders.
Make a little paste, spread it all over, wait, lightly scrub, wipe off, rinse.
Yes! love that stuff. I have also been loving "the pink stuff" !
It's a shame it can't mail to France :(
If you don't have a microwave why would you buy microwave popcorn? And Frankie it's easier to make in a pan then doing what you do by picking up and instapot and shaking it and hoping the glass top doesn't fall off? By the way you're not supposed to seal the top of a popcorn pan. When a first starts popping you have to tilt the lid some to let the steam out. If you keep the steam in your kernels will be tough.
Promo code didn't work
Please do not cook inside a can unless it's specifically labeled saying you can cook in it. The lining used for canned products like sweetened condensed milk are there to provide an air-tight seal within a reasonable temperature range, but they are a form of plastic. You cook in a can, you're likely to be eating chemicals from the plastic. I used to work for one of the companies that makes those kinds of cans, and yeah, it's not a great idea to cook in them.
Thank you!!! That's what I was wondering. . .
Well in order to get the seal on the can the company heats it in boiling water. I would imagine as long as you’re heating it in boiling water it ain’t going to hurt you any. As long as you have its submerged in water it’s ok.
@@kevyak I think you're mistaking home canning, witch is done with glass mason jars, and industrial canning, which uses metal cans with a plastic polymer coating inside. It's not the same process, and again, I used to work for one of the companies that makes those cans, and I can tell you certainly that it's not safe. Also, the temperature of boiling water under pressure, as in an instant pot, is higher than at normal air pressure, so your point still wouldn't apply to this "recipe."
@@DraknusX no I am not in order to sterilize the food and cans they have to heat them in water or steam all canning is the same. If there is any bacteria in the cans they will explode and break the seal. If you truly worked at one of these canneries you would know this.
@@kevyak I didn't say I worked in a cannery; the company I worked for supplies canneries. They make the cans, they formulate the coating. Regardless of how the cannery sanitizes the cans, which is very different from putting them in a pressure cooker as the boiling point of water increases with pressure thus making it hotter than boiling water at normal air pressure, the coating inside is not safe to cook in. I'm pretty sure sanitizing doesn't require them to keep the cans at above 100 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes, especially if they're using steam to sanitize rather than submersion in boiling water like you said in your first comment, which you said was to seal the can, not sanitize. If you doubt me, literally Google it; every scientific, food safety, or medical source says it's not safe. Only people that recommend it are survivalists and doomsday preppers working on the assumption that normal cooking tools aren't readily available or practical to carry.
My instant pot.... the lid will not stand up on either side my pot handles and dont have the little hole...sad
It’s not in the handles. Look for a slit in the base between the handles.
I love watching you, but for people that are new here, at around 5:15 you had the Instant Pot sitting on your stove top....this is a big No No. Wouldn't want someone to miss understand that. Also, my pot is old and I love her, but I can't put my lid on the sides...no space, or handles on mine. Someday I would love to get a bigger one like an 8 Qt one...we can all dream!!!
Drop hints with family before your next Birthday or Christmas ( or whatever gift giving holiday you may observe). 😊
My husband's girlfriend bought him an InstaPot for his birthday and stg it feels more like a gift for me than him at this point lol I use it for ✨e v e r y t h i n g ✨!! Literally cleaning the kitchen now while listening to this to start my weekly batch of Greek yogurt. Still feel like I learn something new from your videos every time I watch though 😁
I dont think I've pulled my Instant Pot out of the cabinet in over 3 years.
Time to pull it out!
@@Lisa.Childs I can't think if anything that I want to make in it, to be honest. Chili? Maybe.
I cant get the discount UA-cam to work. Sorry!
I feel like my instant pot was a waste of $, it takes too long to clean after use compared to a skillet or pot. It might cook faster but the clean up time makes that irrelevant.
Those cans are toxic when heated. I’m sure the liquid could be transferred to a glass jar before cooking and taste better while still being safe to eat.
Yes you can definitely do that! I've done that before when needing a smaller quantity
Why would you get out and dirty your instant pot when you can toss the packet in the microwave?? I thought she was gonna make a healthier version
Just to demonstrate that you can :) of course you can use your own coconut oil and popcorn kernels but I didn’t have them on hand. Also, sometimes the craving hits when you may not have a microwave or want to use it :)
@@Lisa.ChildsBut you wouldn't have microwave popcorn packets if you don't have a microwave.
Who takes their instapot wherever they go?
Must really love it!
Not me but my friend takes hers camping
I do.
Those of us with RV’s. 😊
I was hoping to find a digital copy of your recipe book for us overseas viewers of yours, but sadly there isn't and it's upsetting me. It's 2024! Everyone uses their phones to do everything these days. I understand that digital copies may help some people to easily pirate the copy, but they can still do that even with a physical book (all it takes is to snap some images with their phone). You may be surprised by the number of people that will still choose to support you even if it was available for free somewhere else. Not all of us are thieves. A digital copy will also increase your sales by a HUGE margin if all we had to do is press a button to get access to it. Such a wasted opportunity and I hope you reconsider.
Agreed. I’m downsizing to go RV traveling but will absolutely be keeping my Instant pot. The recipe book sounds great and an ebook version would be indispensable for cooking on the go.
It's better if you comment or ask nicely. Being accusative making assumptions as to why it's digital. Good grief. Can people just be kind!?
Click on ...more under the video title, you'll find the cookbook link.
@@matisse0711 Perhaps you mistook my excitement about supporting her for rudeness. If wanting to support that hard work isn't kind enough, then I don't know what is?
@@MissDebi Oh you're right, thank you! I only checked the top of the description and automatically clicked on her website which was just for the physical book. I think it would've been better to include that Amazon link in her website for those of us who prefer a digital copy. I also had no idea that Kindle Books worked outside of Amazon's Kindle devices, but I guess my info is out of date. I would definitely give this a thorough look once I move in to my new apartment and finally start cooking with my pressure cooker. It's not the same brand as hers, but im sure it'll work just the same.
That popcorn part could have been left out. Really not practical
I thought it was great and practical. Why do you think not?
I disagree. What if your microwave is broken? Or you want to control the ingredients and make it yourself?
I wish I knew proportions for kernels. I never buy microwave popcorn because of additives and the expense. My husband loves popcorn and he makes it in a paper bag in the microwave. The IP would be better. Guess I have to experiment.
@jaymeez It's totally practical if you are on a road trip. I often take my pot with me to so I can prepare food for my family in the hotel room. Not all of them have microwaves, so I was thrilled to see this idea. Now we can have popcorn when we watch movies. What might not be practical TO YOU might be a wonderful idea for someone else.
@@LesaBear612I use 1/4 cup
