Hey everyone! It’s Lisa Childs, back this week with 26 Instant Pot DONT’S! ♀️Don’t do these things with your new Instant Pot for best results. I don’t want …
Hey guys! Thanks for watching! Tell me what Instant Pot DON'T you liked best! AND tell me if you prefer NO MUSIC in the background or if you don't care! Thanks! – Lisa
If you get the right extension cord, it should work. Length and gauge can cause voltage drop, which might be what is being experienced. I haven't experimented with my Instant Pot and different extension cords, so I can't say for certain. If you have an outlet close enough to where you are using ANY device, that is the better option. Some houses have a lack of convenient outlets(especially older homes) and you might need to reach a little past the manufacturer's cord length to plug some things in. If so, some cords are more appropriate than others.
The two "Instant Pot DON'T"s I liked most were don't store the pot sealed or with the sealing ring in place. Also, for you no music is better.
I like it without music!
This is my new favorite comic video!
I would recommend using a shotgun microphone right above your head for better audio quality. Since you're standing in the same place, it's probably really easy to rig with a cheap boom stand. It will give your voice a lot more 'body' and you will lose the echo in the audio.
No music is way better
Just my 2 cents worth:- Many cooks have a habit of tapping their spoon on the top edge/surface of the pot after stirring – Do not tap your spoon on the top edge of your inner pot > It is the surface that the sealing ring seats on to seal in the steam, any dents or cuts on this top surface could cause un-wanted loss of pressure and your pot will malfunction.
Music free is good
Currently paused at 4:07 to take lid off of insta pot… had to run right back to instapot at 5:15 to take the sealing ring off the top, lol.
I've gotten a face full of steam before. It's like having a painful sunburn. Do..not…do.
No music, it’s distracting and can have a tendency to be too loud.
I am not going to sit there for 3 hours and wait for the pressure to reduce naturally in my instapot because I made soup. I just throw a kitchen towel over the top and let out the moist steam
NO MUSIC… ever… we don't need it. EVER. Yes, the CAPS are for emphasis.
you should do the videos the way you like too, not the way cry babies would have you do them. i havnt watched other videos you have done yet so i dont know about the music issue. all i can say is i liked this, even though it was all common sense. yeah i understand a lot of folks dont have any. ; D – oh and she said fricking. if i was drinking milk it would have been all over my monitor.
Thanks for not playing the music.
The reason you are having problems with extension cords is you are not using an appropriate size/diameter cord. If the cord is undersized there is too much resistance in the extension cord and there is less amperage available to the pot. Under rated cords also overheat and can cause a fire.
Please let the video be. I would prefer listening to your voice as it is very soothing to hear.
I agree with no music while you talk and your voice is very nice 🙂 this was a great video! I look forward to more 🙂
✔NO Music PLZ👍❤👍!!
can hear wat you're saying & understand you so much BETTER – Thank you for asking😊 & for your help Also💖💕💖GREAT ADVISE
😄sk
No music. Thanks love your videos.
I think the way you made your list doesn’t make sense. There should be more urgency in the safety aspects rather than how to carry it and how to store with the lid upside down. You spent more time on showing how to store the top upside down instead of making sure that people don’t destroy any body part with releasing pressure.
love ur video. subscribed! Try this best seller Insta pot if your planning to have one. https://amzn.to/31J1Smh
Thanks so much had no idea keeping the lid on traps the smell I used my pot for the first time a few weeks ago & after I cleaned the lid I put it back on right side up now I will put it back upside down & take the rubber out of it when not in use.
I was glad to watch this video. Now I know the instant pot isn't for me. I didn't know anything about it. And with my adhd, I would be too prone to these mistakes. Plus it doesn't sound like the right kind of cooking for me. Great to find out.
I did rice the first time and fell in love..
So true about first dish not being main dish omg. My roast chicken became a pot of soup full of bones and skin
I haven’t used mine much but did bake a cheesecake in it and turned out well. Your tips are great. I also live in the Salt Lake area, so do we need to increase cooking time because of the high altitude?
Thanks for all the tips, very helpful..
Wish I watched this before making my oatmeal with milk in the instant pot! That was a mess but did manage to salvage the oatmeal! Thank you for the great video.
You are worth watching people can learn alot from you. Love it honey.
no music is better
Hello! New subscriber here😊 Great tips in this video…thank you for sharing! No background music necessary; it can be very distracting. Cheers!
Definitely no music. For this type of a video channel where communicating information is the most important thing as supposed to entertaining, the music is just a distraction.
Congratulations on your channel! I don't like music on while someone is talking, so thank you for this test. Great video for us beginners.
Do not like music playing over your sweet voice. I’m hard of hearing and it’s hard to catch everything your saying at times with music over riding.
When I watched an earlier video I noticed the music; to be fair, I like the no music version. 🙂
No music, please. I enjoyed the video.
No music 👍
the extension cord thing might be because its not getting enough amps. might need to use a higher guage wire
I didn't really have much interest in an Insta pot. It's not the type of cooking that I do just for one person. But your tips are really interesting and it has convinced me that I still do not want an Insta pot. So this was really fascinating and some real good safety tips. And I thank you for what I suspected was the reason I was running to the store to buy one of these things.
I thought this was a video on cooking food with marijuana in it! That's the only reason I clicked this!
Less music is appreciated. That way we can concentrate. Sometimes less ir more. Thanks.
No music please. 😊
Lordd I accidentally quick released a BURN message pot of steel cut oats. What an absolute sticky starchy mess. lol. My Ultra insists on BURN message every time I make oats in it. So it's back on the stovetop. I store my sealing rings in the freezer. It keeps the odors at bay. My Ultra 60 automatically seals on its own… so that part I don't have to worry about.
If you need this video then you shouldn't even be in the kitchen
Your voice is SOOO freaking annoying
I seriously don't understand why anyone listens to you.
Much less distracting without the music.
Thanks for the tips. I enjoyed no music!
Thumbs up for killing the music while talking, definitely an instructional video pet peeve of mine. And thanks for the tips!
extension cords should be as short as possible and at least match the wattage of the appliance you're attaching to. if the cord is warm, don't use it again!
