    Thank you for your video. My wife and i were a little weary of buying a electric pressure cooker, but with you video we feel that we would be comfortable with getting one now. Thanks again👍🏻👍🏻

      Christopher Ballew I had mine for 2yrs. And just last week. It exploded. Beans and liquid went all over the kitchen and part of the living room, furniture, windows floor. I was frightened. I always felt safe. But not no more. I set my setting as usual. I didn’t do anything wrong.

    • @fallblossom5
      @fallblossom5 Před 6 lety

      Ha ha. I 'was' afraid of getting a pressure cooker and watched some videos on kitchen mishaps which were the perfect deterrent. My question is if the heat doesn't get as hot as it does with non electric pressure cookers, is it possible to cook food as quickly?

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 6 lety

      Sorry for the delay in answering your question. But yes, electric pressure cookers do cook extremely fast. And that's because the heat is concentrated in a very confined space under pressure. As far as other videos demonstrating kitchen mishaps, I can't speak for the non electric pressure cookers, but I can tell you that in the cases of electric pressure cookers, the user in most cases was attempting to remove the lid by tampering with the safety control. With the electric pressure cooker that I demonstrated in the video, the Instant Pot, it is almost impossible to remove the lid even if you somehow bypass the safety. And that's because the lid has a locking mechanism that will lock it and force it upward into a locked position even if there is a slight amount of pressure inside. In our testing, we did remove the lid prematurely after bypassing the safety. But we almost had to stand on the lid using a tremendous amount of force to rotate the lid to get it off. If someone does that in a non testing environment, such as a kitchen, they are probably going to get burned. Or at least make a huge mess. I hope this relieves your anxiety. Mike

    Informative and straight to the point! I've been interested in the Instant Pot brand for awhile, but was worried about any potential pressure mishaps, which seems more common for the classic stovetop cookers. Thanks for clearing that up! Makes me want to get an Instant Pot even more!

  • @sashineb.2114

    I have a Lagostina 9-litre pressure cooker (stovetop) that I really like. But every now and then, I hear of cookers exploding, including an incident this week in Australia, and also in America with the electric ones (Tristar). Thankfully, I've never had any incidents, and I use mine often.

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 6 lety

      Yes you may have heard about a stovetop pressure cooker having issues, but no one can demonstrate a single laminate explosion from an electric pressure cooker.

    • @sashineb.2114
      @sashineb.2114 Před 6 lety

      But there is this electric model, reported by CBS Miami, and it exploded. czcams.com/video/m1918RbP3vg/video.html

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 6 lety +2

      I watch the report and clearly that was not a pressure cooker that exploded. That was a situation where the lid was removed and the hot steam came out. If you read the comments, you will see that there are many people who who own that particular pressure cooker recognized that the customer did not vent the pressure cooker properly before they improperly opened the lid. The locking mechanism of the Instant Pot can not be disengage by the consumer. It will only unlock when the pressure is reduced to a safe level.

    • @sashineb.2114
      @sashineb.2114 Před 6 lety +3

      But that's a very important point, and thank you for mentioning it. If a pressure cooker can be opened before it is de-pressurized, then what does that say about the safety mechanisms? A safe PC should not open until the pressure has been released (hopefully, in the proper method.) I've seen a video where someone forced the lid open. He must have used a lot of strength because it looked like the lid was not going to come off, but he kept trying and then everything blew out at him. But if these electric ones can fail (perhaps due to a glitch with the circuitry), then it can make people afraid of using them. My niece has a stovetop cooker (T-fal) that she has never used and her husband wants me to teach her how to use it. I doubt I'll get her calmed to the point where she will trust it, though.

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 5 lety

      Tarah Thomas, I don't see any reason why you can't set it on top of your microwave. Also if your microwave uses the same power strip as the pressure cooker, it will work just fine. That's because it uses less power than the microwave oven. Just don't use them both at the same time. Mike ☺

  • @kentharris7427
    @kentharris7427 Před 6 lety

    You being an Appliance repair trainer. What type of Microprocessor or Micro-Controller does the Instant Pot use? I used to be in the HP Printer repair business and the HP P4015 uses a Motorola ColdFire 5e 540 MHz Microprocessor which cost about $30.00. Some Microwave ovens use the Intel 8051, 8 bit Micro-controller, 11.0592 MHz which costs about $1.86.

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 6 lety

      I appreciate you actually listening to me in the video. However I have absolutely no idea what type of electronic control an Instant Pot uses. In the appliance repair business, no service technician that I have ever known gets involved in repairing electronic control boards. If the board is defective, it is replaced then often times returned to the parts distributor. The distributor sometimes sends it back to the appliance manufacturer.

    • @kentharris7427
      @kentharris7427 Před 6 lety

      If you ever take an Instant Pot Apart, please let me know, even if you send me a photo of the board I can tell. Just ordered the Instant Pot Ultra this morning. Don't plan on taking it apart however. (Warranty Issues). I have taken several Microwaves apart however and most of them use the Intel 8051.

      As someone who has designed electronic products, including programming and incorporating many different microcontrollers - I have to ask: what possible different do you think it makes what microcontroller is used ? they are all programmed to purpose and it has no bearing on the quality or safety of the product whatsoever. That's total nonsense.

      Doesn't matter where you plug it. As long as it's in a 110/120 volts outlet. Power strip could potentially protect your pot from a surge in power. Hope this helps.

    Can you pressure cook without liquid? For example, chicken wings with dry rub seasoning. To be deep-fried after.

    • @Getmytips
      @Getmytips  Před 7 lety

      No you cannot pressure cook without liquid. The pressure cooker could not build up any pressure. The heating element would cycle on and off on the safety thermostat and eventually the pressure cooker with no longer function.
