So, I didn't realize that the lid would fit inside of that little slot. I think I'm most excited about that :-)
🤣
You're an excellent teacher/instructor! I like watching you because you're thorough and you get right to the point!!!
And you know we’ve had our instant pot for probably 6 months and we did not know you could do that with the lid. Thanks for all the info and help!
I have a tip! I have discovered using mushrooms as a base for cooking poultry, enabling me to get away without adding any liquid. I build my mushroom base and place my protein on top. It takes longer to come to pressure because the mushrooms have to release their liquid first, but the results have been fantastic using a whole chicken, or chicken thighs. The meat ends up cooking in it's own juices and mushroom juice. I puree the cooking liquid and mushrooms after cooking and use it as a sauce/puree' over the chicken, potatoes/rice or pasta. Intense mushroomy flavor infused with chicken flavor! (and onions...)
I haven't tried it on beef or pork yet but am going to.
. If anyone's interested I will share my technique :)
+missmonasuzette That sounds wonderful! I'll have to try it. Thanks!
Sure! Thank you for all your tips!
Cut your mushrooms in half and stem:) Olive oil on bottom of hot pot. 1st row of mushrooms cut side down will brown adding flavor before liquid releases. Toss the rest on top any which way.

How much mushroom? Like the typical 8oz container from the prouduce dept?
Mushrooms are already "protein" !! Why not go Vegan for your own health & our beautiful planet earth! I do not miss eating "animal" flesh at all!
I purchased my Instant Pot 6qt two weeks ago and I'm hooked ! I just made babyback ribs the other night. Thirty minutes under pressure then remove and sauce. Out to the grill for a quick sear to crisp up and then sat down for yummy, smack yo mama ribs ;) Thanks for the tips !
P.S. - I dry rubbed the ribs after removing the membrane then used 1 cup of apple juice and a teaspoon of liquid smoke for the cook 👍
Yep, except I used Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and put under the broiler for five minutes. Yum!
Very helpful. I haven't thought of pre-heating. Have started doing it since you mentioned it. Thank you for sharing.
I have had my pot for about a year. Wasn't going to watch your video thinking I knew everything I needed to know...I was wrong, every one of your tips is helpful! Well done and short, interesting and to the point. Thank you!
Got my IP just a few days back by post. And whilst I'm now a woman in love I must say the manual that comes with it sucks! Hardly any info and very unclear to say the least
That said videos like this rock! So much information and clarity. Thanks a million. And yes please do keep sharing your knowledge.
i agree. in it, we we taught that you don't have a system until you have documentation.
perfect timing as I have been watching instant pot videos for ideas today. Thanks Nilu
I bought my instant pot about 2 months ago and had never learned to use the pressure cooker feature. I tried it once and failed and shoved the evil thing back on the counter, flipped it off and walked away. This morning I was determined to cook a corned beef roast in it and walla, after watching a few videos my roast is cooking and smells delicious. Any and all tips are helpful to us old farts who are terrified of new fangled contraptions. I appreciate it and thank you soo much.
This made me chuckle :)
wow, I did not know about the 0 minutes then either! I do have a couple of tips for cleaning. if you cook something with a lot of garlic or other strong flavor, the way I like to clean is 2 put a cup or two of water and two or three tablespoons of vinegar into the pot and run it through and you're pressure for 2 minutes. It's a lot like that test starter that we all did when we first got our spot. That sanitizes and cleans and tends to take away the Aromas of the strong food. My next trip is for the ring. The Ring does not smell if you take it out and soak it in a bowl of water with a little vinegar for a while. I have not ever had trouble with smells transfer and no matter if I leave the lid on or whatever. I'm sure I will do the video on this because you've inspired me in that way but I thought I would share!
Does the vinegar make the seal expand or anything? I read somewhere that it could ruin the seal. Thanks.
I was looking for this comment. Vinegar is great oder neutralizer
I am really enjoying your Instant Pot videos. Very helpful! Bless.
Thank you for these tips I am a newcomer to instant pot and look forward to more fun and insightful recipes from you
Thanks Nili. I am a new user (had it a bit but broke both bone in my arm so I couldn't cook). I am really excited now after watching several of your videos. I love your clear, tell it like it is way of showing us how to use this. Your tips on accessories really helped me (not my credit card) as well as these tips. I am heading out to the grocery store so I can get cooking!
I love all of these tips! Excited for the second video in this series!
Im SO greatful for your videos!! Had no idea what to do with this christmas gift- watched a few videos with too much talking. You are just perfect in the information and personality that you share THANK YOU!! Your much needed and a breath of fresh air.... so I subscribed 😊
I've had my instant pot for a year. I didn't know about the zero minutes setting. Thank you. I absolutely love cooking with my pot, and everything is always delicious.

Excellent tips. Can't wait to try my new Instant Pot.
Same 🙋🏿♀️! I Cooked my first batch of pasta and it was done perfectly and so simple thanks to tutorials like this! I can't wait to experiment with it! Best investment ever!
I am waiting for my instant pot to arrive. Thank you so much for helping me to prepare!
WOW!! Those were fantastic!! Thanks so much. Just got an instant pot a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it, but a few of these tips really answered some questions I had.
+Estrafalario I'm so glad I could help! Enjoy your new IP!
Thank you! I'm new at this and enjoy your tutorials very much.
Thanks! This was great! And thanks for calling it the InstaNT pot. Can't wait for more tips!
I haven't even used my Instant Pot yet, but I love the tip to start saute mode as soon as you bring it out!
Love these tips. Thank you! I’m just finding out about the PIP method recently myself.
Fantastic! I've been looking for ideas to use while i'm over the road.. so thank you!
Thank you for sharing your tips in 5 mints, very helpful. I am using my instant pot first time today, so watching your video gives ..to use it ..no worry kind of a feeling, Thank you.
Keep up the good work you are doing for us to know and learn. Thank you. I just ordered the 6qt plus and am searching great videos to watch. I joined to watch your Instant Pot videos.
Thanks Nili. Tips greatly appreciated.
I've had mine for a while but I still learned a few things. Thank you!!
just ordered one! Thanks for the tips
Wow. Really excellent tips. The faster cooking methods and the bowl in bowl. Really great. Thank you.
+Barbara H You're so welcome! Glad you found them helpful! 😊
Great tips. My favorite new tool is the steamer basket. Holds all your veggies or what nots and then lifts them all out in one shot.
There is an IP THM group on FB.. One of the sisters just received an IP and made a comment on that group. Might be more comments by now that was at least a week ago.. Things move very fast on FB .. Have a great day and keep up the videos LOVE them ❤️❤️
Still in the box, but I'm getting ready to start. Thanks for the great tips! So excited to get going.
Thank you!!!! Most appreciated. Kindest regards to you and your family.
Just bought the 6 qt one and really like using my IP. Thanks for the great tips. 😀
Thank you ! I love your channel 👍
This was very helpful for a newbie like me with a new 3 qt. Glad I found this info. Like the heated water idea and the zero time for some veggies
Glad I could help! ❤️
Wow, that was helpful especially setting the pot to zero for vegetables! Thank you!
Thank you! Very useful, just received my Instant Pot as a gift from my daughter.
I bought an electric pressure cooker and thanks to your videos made some amaranth using the 'pot in pot' method. I only added salt and water while cooking. Came out perfect and the inner pan was a breeze to wash. Will try oatmeal next and quinoa next. I will be replacing my electric pressure cooker with an instant pot specifically because of the stainless steel pot, which my current one does not have. Your knowledge has been priceless to my cooking ! Thank you kindly!
Great tips, thanks for sharing. ☺
Thank you! Great tips.
The first recipe I used in my Instant Pot was your hot chicken wings !! They were totally awesome and my husband loved them !! It's a keeper !
Awesome.. getting great info. Have the 6 quart duo ordered. Not ever used one before. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you! Those are incredibly helpful tips!!! I'm unboxing my instant pot this weekend :)

How absolutely wonderful. You will love it and it changes the desire to cook consistently with real food instead of Costco prepared stuff. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that....to each his own but the healthier we cook the better we feel. Happy Pressuring everyone
I haven’t used my Instant Pot yet, and was feeling apprehensive. These are great tips!
+Sharon McDonlad Glad I could help!
I really like the ideas about using boiling water and starting from the sauté mode. Thank you
Just invested in an Instant Pot and I found this very helpful!! 💗
+Just Survive to Thrive Glad to help! Have fun with your new IP!
The 0 minutes tip is gold! thanks x
rolom3
rolom3 how long does the whole cycle take to increase pressure then decrease with zero minute?thanks a lot
Excellent tips, thank you.
Really great tips! Thanks so much!
My instant pot just arrived today. Your videos and tips will definitely help get me started. =)
I thought I was the only one who thought of getting it to pressure faster by using the saute button! Great tips. Thanks.
Watching from the Czech Republic, somewhere we can't begin to say the name of, about 30 minutes from Zlin. Thought it might tickle you how far I go to watch your videos and how it still makes me smile to have discovered that you're from near my home in Oregon.
Oh, darn, I can't paste the clip where it says CZcams cz. Darn!
I tried!
These were actually helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful! Thanks for the tips.
Great tips. Love the instant pot & recipes.
+Shaboom61 Thank you!
Thanks, for the tip about the cover. I immediately took the cover off and stored it elsewhere.
Just bought my instant pot. You had another tip in there, on top of your 5. I didn't know that I could stack my top in the slot on the handles. Another great tip 🙂
I also want to say thank you for sharing your tips and experience with your Instant Pot.
I've just purchased one from Amazon Prime (5 quart) and it looks super versatile, can't wait to receive it.
I have also subscribed to your video's and I hope you make another one about the I.P., I would really appreciate it!
Thanks again!

+Susan Morgan You're so welcome! Glad this was helpful! I have a lot of instant pot videos in the works so stay tuned! Thanks for subscribing!
Very helpful, my Instant pot is coming soon. This is great!
Another great video of tips. I love my 8 qt Instant Pot and keep experimenting with all your great recipes. May have lots of questions for you soon. BTW, also love the 0 minutes tip!!!
Great tips, thanks. I don't own one but am busy researching before I buy
Great tips and presentation. Thanks much!
Please do more Instant Pot demonstration videos. You have a wonderful voice and good videography skills to make successful cooking shows. I subscribed to you because of THM and I would love to do THM meals in my Instant Pot, too. Also, do any THM cooking videos! The more, the merrier! Thanks!
+Renee Haynes Thanks Renee! I love doing the recipe and instant pot videos! I have lots more in mind to do! :)
This was really helpful, thank you. Especially the last tip about cutting the cook time down to zero--broccoli mush from last week doesn't have to be repeated! ; )
This was helpful. Thank you.
Just ordered mine. Thanks for this video ;)
Great video! Cleaning tip: couple of tablespoons of oxiclean with hot water, overnight will definitely clean your pot. The best cleaner is PBW, homebrewers use it to clean equipment. That stuff makes it look like new in only 25 minutes. Good luck, y’all!
Good tips. Thanks for posting!
wow! wonderful video. thank you for this video.
Thanks for the helpful tips! I just got mine and have started experimenting. Ha,ha! Tip # 6 I just learned was how to stand the lid on the side of the pot (in the handle).....I somehow missed this fairly obvious thing and kept feeling like it took up so much counter space and left a wet spot.
Thank you so much! We ve just got an instant pot recently..still trying to figure out how to use it (reading the manual as we speak) 😄
+Alisan80001 You're welcome! Have fun with your new toy! Lol!
This is on sale on Amazon for Cyber Monday. I missed your Black Friday posting. We have several pressure cookers, but thinking of getting one for our trailer. Thank you for the info.
Those were great tips!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the tips,I am a newbie and love your video's

I hang the seal separate from pot. I actually set up a place next to my kitchen window where it gets air and sunshine.
So helpful! I just got my instapot today. Thanks!!
+Liz Thompson You're welcome! Glad to help!
thank you very much, very helpful tips, having my IP for couple months now, the PIP is something i will add when doing pasta or lasagna ...been struggling with those, having the pot going to my pressure time when the pressure stop is still down. Awesome ideas......just sub
+TheSkyzepplin1 Yes! PIP is great for those thicker items! Glad I could help!
Super helpful. Thank you!
