I recommend getting extra sealing rings. I just bought a set and they now have a red/blue set (genuine IP brand) which is awesome. I use my original for meats because it already smells like it lol. Blue for veggies and red for sweet things like cheesecake and creme brulee :-)
Yeah I agree. Done many many of your recipes and all turned out great. Some I slightly changed spices and amounts to my taste but they were all great following exact measurements too :-) Man, that peanut butter fudge cheesecake. ... Just wow. Great stuff Jeff!!!
An alternative method to cleaning the inner pot is lemon juice and baking soda. Use about 2 TB of baking soda in a wet pot. Gently scrub with a dish cloth and then add the lemon juice. Swish it around with dish cloth. This will foam. Allow to set 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse well :)
Waita. Clean the sealing ring every so often? It needs to be cleaned every time its used. Toss it in the top rack of the dishwasher. Clean it in the sink. But, clean it every time its used!
@@Pattys1967 mine smelled like pot roast after a few times. I did read somewhere to put it outside and that helped a lot! I wash my seal and lid on the top rack of dishwasher every time I use it.
Great ideas for cleaning the gasket. I usually just give it a rinse with hot water and leave the lid on the handle to dry. The smell has never transferred to the next meal. I clean the inner pot with baking soda and a little bit of water. Works like a charm;) Have a great day!
Hi Jeffrey. I love your videos. I’ve had my pot now two years. Still love it. I have been using those sponge paint brushes since early on. I bought a big pack and shared w my IP friends. And I laughed about the cord loose ‘what’s wrong here’ segment. Same thing happened to me. I thought I had broken my pot.
I am slowly getting the hang of using the IP, but the most difficult thing to calculate is cook time for any number of recipes I would want to create. Is there any way to know, aside from trial and error, how to calculate IP pressure cook time from non IP recipes?
You answered my question on removing and installing the sealing ring in the pot and I am having fun with my 3 qt. Instant Pot. Thanks for sharing these important tips with us and I hope you and your family have a great weekend.
Just received one as a gift. Been binge watching your videos, lol. Using it for the first time today. Thanks for the info and recipes! Have a Happy New Year!!
I’m happy to report I finally bought an instant pot!!!! Plus I also am happy to report the rolled pork roast today was awesome! I also wrapped up the carrots and potatoes each in aluminum as you suggested.... the flavor of both was out of this world! My hubby was very happy with our Sunday dinner!!!! Thank you so much.... watching your videos made me able to try this!!!!
Thank for the Great info. I made a recipe that didn't completely cook in the stated time. I made the mistake of stiring the pasta into the rest of ingredients and cooked 4 minutes longer. Well, that burned quite a thick layer on the bottom. Ugh! When cleaning, I used a plastic pot scraper to get the bigger chuncks off. But, still lots of burnt food was there. My tip: Put 1/4 cup dishwasher Powder in pot and add 2 cups boiling water. Sir to dissolve the powder. Let sit a couple hours and stir/brush around with dish brush. If there is still some stuck, let sit a couple more hours or overnight. Everything came off and the pot was shinning without much labor or any scratching! I have used this technique to clean Le Creuset ceramic iron pots, slow cooker, cookie sheets, etc.
Am I the only one who left the plastic protector for the screen and control panel on all my instant pots? I figure if it gets bad, then I can remove it and it'll still be perfect. If you didn't know there was one, I figured it out on my second duo plus 6 qt. And it looked like there were vertical scratches on the screen. It was just the protector.
Love you, love your recipes. Both my husband and I have used your recipes and our picky teenagers love them. Who knew I’d be able to make food that everyone would like! Plus, you make me laugh which is a bonus. Please write a cookbook. You’re brilliant.
I'm building up my courage to **actually** open up my Instant Pot (bought it from Costco on sale back in September 2018!) and use it. Gotta watch this video a few more times.
Start with something simple and that is cheap too. Mashed potatoes. If you use the Yukon gold ones you don't even need to peel. Just cut up in semi large pieces (6 pieces for medium potatoes, quarters for smaller ones) put 1 cup cold running tap water in bottom of pot, put your trivet it (or steamer flower folding thing which is awesome and cheap), throw potatoes in and cook high pressure for 8 min. Quick release (let pressure out right after 8 min is done and beeps) and voila, perfectly cooked potatoes ready to mash!!!! If you mess up some how, not sure how, you're only out like $1 for the potatoes you used. Just try again. Can totally use russets too but have to peel (or not if you like the thick skin they have) Well actually the first thing you should do is just put water in the pot and set for one minute. Then you'll know if you put the ring in correctly because it'll hold pressure. Then quick release after the minute and it beeps at you. Then do the 🥔's
@@byDsign yes you have a trivet. And a couple utensils and a condensation drip container. The trivet isn't very fine like a steamer basket to keep the potatoes pieces big enough bit to fall through. But yes. Open it. Have fun. It's a blast!!!
@@2010stoof .... OKaaay.... feelin' a bit mo' courage seepin' into my veins... LOL. I know I'm such a wimp! But I witnessed my mom's horrible experience with a pressure cooker. That's why I'm so skittish. I've got a bunch of sweet potatoes in the house too.
@@byDsign understandable. The old ones on the stove were able to explode if not watched properly. However the instant pot have multiple levels of protection to guard against that. There are release valves just in case something happens but with all the levels of protection nothing will. You can read about the different protections, but you're safe. It even knows if you didn't put enough water in and all the water turns to steam with nothing as liquid. You'll get a "burn" notice and it will shut off. I can't speak to other pressure cookers, but instant pot as a company took many steps to ensure safety.
Last night there was steam and condensation on one side of the lid. I was ready to get rid of it out of frustration. Thank goodness you mentioned the solution in this video. Thank you!
Dude!!! You just won a billion points from me! I LOVE the paint sponge idea!!! YES!!!! Hope you both have a splendiferous day!!!!! Ok...so I’m not really sure what a billion points means to you... 🤓
Thanks for the vinegar tip. I just bought my IP just like yours. I’m super OCD about keeping everything I own looking like brand new. I just used it and the rubber ring already smells like the beef roast I just cooked even though I thoroughly cleaned everything including the rubber ring with dishwashing soap. I will definitely try the vinegar trick asap.
Additional tip for the sealing ring, wash after every cook then dry and rub down with veg oil. This will keep it flexible and stop it from trying to get out of shape. the oil also acts as a lubricant to ensure you get a good seal. I do this for my stove top PC and if I don't do the oil I'm practically guaranteed a seal blowout (annoying!).
Omg, you have solved one problem I was having, not only with my Instant Pot, but also my rice cooker. Getting around and inside the sealing ring with a foam paint brush for food and residual moisture. You are amazing. Thank you!
Happy New Year, Jeff! My IP was new in the box for two years (yep) before I found your videos!! Now, I can't learn and try enough with it! Thanks for always being so thorough with everything!
Shelley9090 the hardware store like Ace if you have one nearby has them in a bag of 5 or six They are useful for lots of things (painting included). That’s where you’ll find them. With painting accessories.
Love your videos, good info and easy to do recipes that are delicious - I was not sure I would use this pot too much since I tend to buy a lot of kitchen gadgets but often don't use them much, but I'm using this Instant Pot all the time and enjoy your recipes - THANKS!
I use baking soda to clean the inner pot on mine. No toxic stuff, all natural and brings the shine back out. I also use it on my stainless steel tableware.
@Sunny N For the ring? You mean the gasket? I use vinegar for that. I place it in a shallow pan just deep enough for the gasket to be in and a little bit more room and I pour white vinegar in the container enough to just go over the gasket and leave it there over night. Take it out the next day and rinse. You could do the same with the baking soda, dissolve it in water and submerge the ring in it and leave over night. I haven't tried that though.
@Sunny N Oh, remember though, baking soda has a lot of salt in it, so it can dry things out. Use it with plenty of water when deodorizing the gasket. Give it a real good rinse when you're done cleaning it.
Hi Jeff, great video! One more tip people might not know. Always check that the pressure oin pops up before the timer starts counting down. If it doesn't, the countdown will proceed, but the pot won't be sealed and your food will not cook right. I think this is especially useful for beginners. P.S. Your channel is my very favorite Instant Pot channel. You are a treasure to all who watch you!
Bar Keepers Friend = Ajax, Comet... IMO a little too harsh, you can use Majic Eraser too and is slightly less aggressive. all them swirls at the bottom we see when you say " it is shinny " no far from OEM smooth and promotes sticking and promotes Nucleate boiling, it is a type of boiling that takes place when the surface temperature is hotter than the saturated fluid temperature by a certain amount but where the heat flux is below the critical heat flux. i.e. the surface is hotter to make the water boil at the same pace.
I removed the Instant Pod value which has 5 part: 1. The top knob - 2. The nut - 3. The washer ring - 4. The ring with don in center - 5. the smallest ring. I forgot the order when I remove them!Please tell me their order so I could put them back. Many thanks
very good tips! i have an Elite EPC 414 4qt pressure cooker that i am having a tough time finding a 22cm/8.66 ins.gasket for it? any suggestions? Thanks
Hey thanks for putting out videos that aren’t a carbon copy of whats out there. Question: Can one use parchment paper instead of aluminum foil when cooking the roast
Jeff, i have a problem. My instant was not sealing. I unplugged it and adjusted the seal. When I plugged back in nothing happens, no lights or anything. Thoughts? Oh it is the Instant 6 qt. Duo. Thanks
You should not use those foam paint brushes to clean your pot. They are usually made with recycled (from god knows where) plastics.Just like you should never use a plastic refillable gas can to store potable water. They could be toxic. Or .....they just could add that yummy subtle flavor kick to your next Instant Pot dish. Cheers!
Last night I cooked corned beef and cabbage, 1st time using a Instant Pot Duo Nova, then cleaned/scrubbed/soaked all the rubber parts in Dawn/hot water. That took a lot of the smell out, but still smelled. So, the next day I noticed your video and tried what you suggested. Still smells like corned beef and cabbage. I did change up your recipe a little. I did 2 cups of white vinegar and one whole lemon sliced up then did the steam thing for 3 minutes with the natural steam release. Still smells. Help!!!
Good idea with the little "sponges on sticks" to clean under the groove. I take my stainless steel chopsticks or my plastic citrus starter and wrap in a damp paper towel and wipe around. That works well for me too.
I want a simple good recipe for pinto beans, such as how much water and/or broth for each cup of beans in the Instant Pot? I saw a simple one when I was searching comments, but I can’t find it now. It said they used 12 cups of water, a whole yellow onion cut in half, and I was thinking of adding some sliced carrots too... Anyone??
I can't seem to get rid of the odor in the instant pot sealing ring. Vinegar didn't work with steaming. My 25+ year Presto stove top pressure cooker never retained any odor in the seal! Maybe it used a different material, it was black (neoprene?). I did buy extra seals but it's annoying that the stink remains after first use!
Are you supposed to remove the steam release handle and float valve before washing the lid in the dishwasher? I just started using my IP today and noticed in the Care & Cleaning instructions “ remove all parts from lid before dishwashing” Also are you supposed to wash the steam release handle and float valve after each use?
What size pressure cooker do you use?? What size pressure cooker did you write yor cook books for?? Have you used the 3qt pressure cooker??? Would you recommend it?
I hate the gunk that builds up around the top down in that groove. Thanks so much for the foam paint brush tip! I've been cramming the corner of the dish sponge in there.
AAAAAAGH! DON'T USE THE GREEN SIDE OF THE SPONGE ON STAINLESS STEEL!!! YOU'LL SCRATCH THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR LINER AND MAKE IT HARDER TO CLEAN GOING FORWARD. Barkeeps Friend is great but let it do the work. Use a paper towel so you don't turn your nice clean sponge black.
6 to 12 hours. Give me a break all you need. Is some baking soda scrub it down. Maybe let it sit for an hour or two in a solution of baking soda and water . I used to use this for my bottles with sour milk odor inside
Although bkf is a stellar cleanser, it is highly abrasive. Use citric acid(aka lemishine), baking soda, and blue Dawn. Use about a tbs of the citric acid as well as the baking soda. And a squirt of dawn. Then add just a little hot water on the mixture, about 1/2c. It will get super foamy. Give it a good scrub, and boom...…shiny stainless steel.
for my liner, all I do is scour it out with a little dish soap and then put it in my dishwasher. I use Cascade Platinum Pods with Cascade Platinum Rinse Aid and the liner is shiny every time.
DIDN'T WORK, DUDE! I did EXACTLY like you instructed and left the sealing ring outside in the cold Michigan winter air for 24 hours. STILL STINKS!! Waste of vinegar and time! BTW...NOTHING TAKES CARE OF THE SEALING RING SMELL...NOTHING!!! Have tried EVERYTHING known to womankind!
I recommend getting extra sealing rings. I just bought a set and they now have a red/blue set (genuine IP brand) which is awesome. I use my original for meats because it already smells like it lol. Blue for veggies and red for sweet things like cheesecake and creme brulee :-)
Same here...white meats, red veggies, blue desserts.
I'm using the clear/non-color for savory and saving the colored ones (red, blue) for sweets
I have a set of sealing rings but they seem inconsistent with quality. I went for the IP licensed rings too.
You are my "go to" source for my Instant Pot recipes! Thank you!
Yeah I agree. Done many many of your recipes and all turned out great. Some I slightly changed spices and amounts to my taste but they were all great following exact measurements too :-)
Man, that peanut butter fudge cheesecake. ... Just wow. Great stuff Jeff!!!
hes definitely one of my favorites too
And don't forget to keep the condensation cup cleaned. You don't want yuck mold in there.
I've never used the condensation cup. I've done 2 hour cooks and no condensation.
I really appreciate your channel and you. Your personality it so amazing. I thank you for this and all your videos

Ellen Hofer I never clean it after every use. All depends on what’s cooking. (shrug)
@@Pattys1967 mine smelled like pot roast after a few times. I did read somewhere to put it outside and that helped a lot! I wash my seal and lid on the top rack of dishwasher every time I use it.
@@Pattys1967 once the gasket is cleaned, turn the lid up side down for storage, that will help elevate build up of smells.

Troubleshooting Rule Number One.... Is it plugged in?
Thank you for this!! I never know what to do with the lid while I’m stirring/ serving... now I know! 🤗♥️
I laughed out loud at "No it is not to blow bubble !! " ;-)
6 to 12 hours. Give me a break all you need. Is some baking soda scrub it down. Maybe let it sit for an hour or two in a solution of baking soda and water . I used to use this for my bottles with sour milk odor inside
6 to 12 hours is excessive!!
Is "bubbles" your nickname for Richard?
Although bkf is a stellar cleanser, it is highly abrasive. Use citric acid(aka lemishine), baking soda, and blue Dawn. Use about a tbs of the citric acid as well as the baking soda. And a squirt of dawn. Then add just a little hot water on the mixture, about 1/2c. It will get super foamy. Give it a good scrub, and boom...…shiny stainless steel.
i love this guy ...is fast and straight to the point ...thank you...i wonder if things get stick to the s.s bowl..
Very helpful. But is there any other cleaner that I might have on hand besides the Bar cleaner for cleaning the pot.
You are my new favorite gay Jew. Larry David is now second place.
Thanks for the tips. I love the little sponge brush
Brilliant 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just purchased a instapot. Thanks so much for the helpful info 😎
Thank u so much for video, couldn’t find out how take off seal n learned new stuff bout lid.
Thank you Jeffrey, as always, very helpful)
"Who doesn't like a nice clean rim." :)
can you accidentally reinstall the sealing ring upside down???
My model instant pot does not have the steam option it does have the sterilized option is that okay to use when putting vinegar in to clean the ring
I want to clean that inside screen (where the numbers shown up) how??
Very good , one thing no one says wait for that little button to drop before opening,,,
I've never cleaned my gasket lol
I LOL’d when you said, “Just the tip.” 😜
"We love you, Miss Hannigan!" ROFL!!! Thanks for the info - and the laughs!
I loved your Hannigan reference!
for my liner, all I do is scour it out with a little dish soap and then put it in my dishwasher. I use Cascade Platinum Pods with Cascade Platinum Rinse Aid and the liner is shiny every time.
You are so ridiculously cute.
Ha. Had I saw this video first. That darn delay start button. 😫
Bon Ami is like Barkeepers Friend but is cheaper
DIDN'T WORK, DUDE! I did EXACTLY like you instructed and left the sealing ring outside in the cold Michigan winter air for 24 hours. STILL STINKS!! Waste of vinegar and time! BTW...NOTHING TAKES CARE OF THE SEALING RING SMELL...NOTHING!!! Have tried EVERYTHING known to womankind!
awesomely helpful, thank you!!
'Just' the tip is so unsatisfying. AND an Annie reference! AND a nice clean rim. Happy New Year, Boychick.
do you need to clean the lid after every use? does the residual water matter or rust/corrode over time?
How do you clean the steam vent? Does it ever need cleaning?
