Also, thank you for being so clear and concise in your BASIC instructions. I was ready to donate my Instant pot to Salvation Army before I saw this video. BTW I have the older model so thanks for mentioning the differences between the old and newer models. You mentioned every important detail on both which was awesome...

I’ve had this plastic and steel contraption taking up space on my counter since last Christmas, with its accessories, and silicone thingamajigs, and recipe books, and I was always thinking I really should take a day off to study how it works, and how to prevent explosions, when all I really needed was a bag of frozen veggies. I’m going to try it now, wish me luck. 😅

    This video was so helpful. I was using my Instant Pot cooking a pot roast for the first time and I wish I had watched your video first. I am TERRIFIED of Pressure Cooker. My friend had a Instant Pot and raved about it so I figure I would try it. I did not realize the knob was supposed to be on “sealing” when using. I started to hear this hissing sound so I RAN out of my kitchen because I thought it would explode (instead of pulling the plug or cancel button) I ran...fast...lol I actually search for a video and this one popped up. I noticed you said to put the knob on sealing and NOT VENTING, therefore the hissing sound as the steam was escaping! lol, so if scary old me can used the Instant Pot successfully, ANYONE can l. I’m very happy with my Instant Pot and my pot roast was absolutely delicious! Thanks for this video and calming my nerves!

      @nataliecaraballo8067 Před 3 lety +4

      I was scared using mine the first time. I made a family favorite that usually takes an hour in just under 25 minutes. I was unsure if it was doing everything right, then it seemed b like the timer than counts down waz going in slow motion, then it started counting up after beeping. I figured it was done and saw that the instructions say to vent the steam before opening. I barely touched the valve and it hissed at me. I called my boyfriend to come to the kitchen and vent it for me. He thought I was being a big baby, but he also freaked out when it hissed. It was so loud. But it is definitely a time saver. Your story mDe me laugh and reminded me of mine. Lol.

    This video provides very useful info. When my wife bought the Instant Pot, I thought that SHE was going to learn how use it and then teach me, but somehow sorting out the maintenance and learning how to deploy the unit became my task. I had not even heard of Instant Pots or ever used a pressure cooker. I know how to make peanut butter sandwiches, spaghetti, salad and roast chicken breasts and that's pretty much it. (Looking at many of the comments here, I laughed to see that so many other folks had the same trepidations that I had.) You made my job very easy and made me look smarter than I am. Thank you! I have already checked out some of your other content and see some other things to add yo my repertoire.

    This is a good introduction. I've been using Presto pressure cookers for 50 years and just started using the Instant Pot. When used the way you instruct here you have a safe fast pressure cooker at your finger tips. And there's more...,with the saute and yoghurt buttons, just to name a few....,I think one thing that makes sense is that when starting out just using the "pressure cook" button and then selecting a "Hi/Lo" pressure and a time (as you suggest here)...,that you take notes on what settings you choose for each item cooked - experiment and keep notes. It's food science 101...,Alton Brown is my brother, so that's my excuse.....,

    Thank you so very much for doing this video. It has saved me twice now! I bought my first ever insta pot a few weeks ago now and couldn't figure out how to get the steam catcher on at first. I found your video and it showed me how which was awesome. Then today I was making my very first recipe in it ever and was getting worried that something was wrong because it said on but wasn't counting down the time I put it on for. Then I watched your video for the fifth or more time and saw that was it saying it's getting up to pressure and then sure enough once it was up to pressure it cooked for the 4 minutes and turned out delicious! So thank you so very much

    I just unpacked mine, have had it almost a year and have been afraid to use it. I started following your channel about a week ago and now have the courage to try it. I did the test today and will try some veggies next just to get me used to using it. Thanks so much for your videos they are really encouraging me to use it :-)

      @chan58 Před 4 lety +2

      @@belindavanowen1990 it is in the instruction booklet that comes with the instant pot. You add 3 cups of water I believe and then set it and thus is to check the valve is working right and get you used to trying out the pot for the first time :-)

      I wouldn't cook veggies in it, except as an ingredient in something else. If you want something easy to get you started, try looking up the recipe for instant pot salsa chicken. You won't regret it

    Thank you. This was helpful. It might have been nice to explain why one chooses quick releases over natural release. As I understand it, for example, you might want a natural release with meat to let the meat rest; quick release will stop the cooking quicker and should be used for veggies.

    Gurllllllll! Praise God for you!🙌🏾🙌🏾 My Mom gave me her instant pot with no directions or anything & I've had it for several, did I say several months without using it b/c I didn't know how to! Ok wait I confuse I thought it was only for cooking steamed rice which I don't eat so I was just like thanks Mom when she gave me hers with no questions asked b/c you may not know this about me but I know it all & didn't need any directions for a rice cooker I would never use!!🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😂🤣😆 Anyway, fast forward I was listening to some coworkers talking about what all they cook in their instant pots the other day & how easy it was that it triggered my memory about that thing my mom gave me months ago & maybe it wasn't a rice cooker!🤔 So when I got home I pulled it off my shelf in the basement to reexamine it & sure enough it is an instant pot dual newest edition you were talking about! Yay! Ok so now new dilemma, I've always heard bad things about pressure cookers & how dangerous they were plus my Grandpa got burned terrible bad using one. Therefore I was scared to death to actually plug this one in b/c I was thinking it was going to explode & I would need to run for my life!🏃🏾‍♀️💨🏃🏾‍♀️💨 However after turning to CZcams & having your vid pop up, this is a #GAMECHANGER! Merry Christmas to me! Now that I know I have an instant pot & your channel, I'm winning!🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️ I'm sitting here with Italian Roast Beef cooking which I watched your video on how to make! Which is exactly like I make it in my crock pot but that takes all day. Not anymore!🤗🤗 I'm sooooooooooooo happy!😊😁 Fyi I will be binge watching your vids while my roast is cooking! New subbie & thank you so much!💗 You to Mom!😘😘😘

Does it display an icon or something to show the food is burning. Does the duo nova have that feature? I didn’t realize there are so many models of instant pots!
