Hey everyone! It’s Lisa Childs, back this week with 26 Instant Pot DON’TS! ♀️ Don’t do these things with your new Instant …
They were great tips
These are fantastic tips! I send my friends to your channel when they get their first instant pot ❤️ You're such a patient and clear explainer
Carrying an instant pot while it is pressurized is like carrying a bomb. If you drop it, 💥.
Just a tiny correction… the liquid isn't still boiling as you wiggle; that's when it starts to boil. At normal air pressure, water boils at 100°C=212°F, a boiling point that rises when forced under pressure. Normally, water in a pressurized i-Pot exists as super-hot, but not boiling, water. But as your wiggling drops the pressure, the boiling point drops, so the water has to boil.
Don't pressure cook overly thick stews directly in the liner. Some components of the stew, rice in my case when I was attempting a rice stew, may stick to the bottom of the pot and will prevent the pot from coming to pressure before the stuck material starts to burn, in which case the pot's safety feature will shut it down without pressurizing or finishing cooking. In my case, no actual harm was done. I just had to transfer the contents to separate bowls and pressure cook these on trivets so that nothing could stick to the liner bottom. The meal was delayed, but not ruined. Thank goodness for the safety features!
Thank you!!!!!
What about using a vent deflector (like a 😘PVC elbow) while venting to keep it from venting under a cabinet or setting it on the soup?
I could use some information on how to get the user's manual. I also lost some of the accessories. matter-of-fact, all the accessories like the steaming basket Etc.
I learned the hard way with my first one. Put it on the stove and then accidentally burned it
I think my first instant pot meal was homemade Mac and cheese. Tonight will be pasta night 🙂 best appliance in my house other than my air fryer!
Always great to be reminded, or to learn the easy way through you for newbies. Love this list, and the one that really hit home for me is the 'make something simple' for the first time out. I got a little ambious with some ballpark times and lost a bit of confidence when I was letting off pressure 2-3 times to keep checking on the item. Great video.
My first instapot cook was your hard boiled eggs. I'm still in love with insta eggs.
I love your videos! I have seen a good tip for avoiding melting the bottom of your IP if you have to put it on a glass top stove. If the knob(s) for the burner(s) that your pot is on come(s) off easily then that basically makes it very difficult for the burner(s) to be accidentally bumped on. In my case I'm not normally doing more than one process at a time when I cook. The holidays are about the only time that I have more than one pot going at a time! As always my absolute very very best to you and yours! Take care!!!!
That’s sad you actually have to say some of those. 🙂
Wow, a true PSA for those who really needs a PSA but do the opposite anyway.
#9 makes absolutely no sense. How will it vacuum in your towel when it is releasing pressure? I agree you don't need to do it but it will not suck your towel in. Oh and I warned my dog I was releasing pressure but he does not listen. 😮 I would love to see some more recipes. Great videos.
All great cautions & tips. So many are just common sense.
Fantastic tips. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you for sharing. ✌🏼💖👩🏻🍳
