    Before my mom knew about instant pots she dumped a roast with liquid into the pot (not the steel part) and it was destroyed. That's why I'm on instant pot # 2.😥

    I say INSTAPOT and I'm fully aware that its actually an INSTANT POT. Its called a glottal stop, educate yourself before being annoyed with someone's speech patterns. I can and do pronounce every T when in a formal conversation, but just in casual conversation you will hear a ton of glottal stop. So sorry to annoy you miss I over pronounce every T pretentious. Also you shouldn't sauté with a lid on. All your other tips seemed helpful thanks.

    Insta pot is a pet peeve. When I was in the market to purchase my first instant pot, I kept looking and looking for this “Insta” pot I couldn’t find it anywhere. I thought instant pot was a knock off

    Unless sautéing I take the inner pot out when filling it so I don’t make the mistake of putting food in the actual pot. Prime example, I make a large batch of dog food every week, I take the inner pot out put it next to me and chuck stuff in as I chop.

    How about finding the correct foods to cook pot in pot style. What I mean is you really can't pair some foods with others if the cooking times are too different. I tried two large russet potatoes on the bottom in liquid, and seared chicken thighs on top of the trivit in a steam sling with a mix of broccoli florets. It was 5 minutes cook time and the broccoli florets were so overcooked they turned into mush.

    I'll bet the price of one that the do's and dont's can be found in the instruction manual that comes with it…… but then considering some of the comments I read
    I realize that people can't read anymore and lack even average intelligence.
    The"dumbing down"
    of America is a real thing. That also explains why trump is president…..😲

    . DANGER ⚠️
    NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID UNDER PRESSURE !!!
    Doing so will cause the lid to blow off and very hot steam and liquid will blow out violently causing second and third degree burns and possible severe eye injury , Be absolutely sure that the unit is depressurized before attempting to remove the lid
    ALWAYS read the safety instructions before using your Instant pot or any appliance or other equipment to avoid serious personal injury and always use your PPE ( Personal Protection Equipment ) Pot holders , Heavy duty rubber gloves etc to avoid getting seriously burned by steam and boiling hot liquid
    ALWAYS PUT SAFETY FIRST !!!!
