Almost 7 minutes for something that should take 20 seconds at most to explain, lol. Thanks though!
Thanks for attaching the articles to your video.
So I have a recipe that says cook on high pressure for 3 minutes then NR for 18-20 mins. What does that mean? I just let them sit there on warm while the pressure dissipates on its own?
Thanks for explaining this. I just got an instant pot and the recipe I'm going to try said to first use the natural pressure release and after 10 minutes, the quick pressure release. I had no idea what they meant. Also my instant pot is different from yours. I have a button that says "press to vent and turn to stop." I'm assuming this means I do nothing for 10 minutes and then press the button to do a quick pressure release. I hope I'm right.
take a look round the back when it won't close again after you've taken the lid off…there's a metal pin that sticks out…maybe try just popping it back in again?
Great video!! Thanks !! I kept looking for a button that said natural release !!! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ they really should put this somewhere in the manual!!!
My float valve is slightly elevated when pressurized. Is this normal for some versions?
First time user, Thank you for this info! You explained a lot
Thank you so much for a great tutorial. Very simple to understand instructions for a brand new IP owner who is excited to get started 😊
Great video ! Put me at ease while making my first meal with my new Instant Pot ! Knowing that I (or my kids) can't accidentally open a high pressure SOUP BOMB makes me way more comfortable ; ) THANK YOU !!!
Was left to tend such pot and feed 2 kids once cooked. Now I know what to do and most importantly what not
Thank you!! Was scared to death of it – now I feel better.. Ham bone and 15 bean soup comihg up!
did the dog use the knob as a chew toy?
Thanks for this, I just got an instant pot for Christmas and this is super useful!
Thanks for making this! Just got one for Christmas and was scared of it haha, I'm a visual learner so this puts me at ease 👍

Thanks for walking me through my first Instant Pot use…7 minutes until this veggie stew is done!
Very helpful explanation for a newbie!
I just started using my Instant Pot and this video was really helpful in understanding the difference between releases! Thank you!
Thanks for explaining the instapot pressure release so thoroughly! Just made chicken soup for sick husband.
1:09 is where it starts, for quick reference.
Thank you so much!!! Super easy explanation! I just bought an instant pot and finished my test with the water and was ready to cook some Indian chicken when I read, “5 min high + 10 min natural release.” I was baffled how I program that! Lol. Mystery solved. Gained yourself a grateful subscriber 🙏🏻
Thank you for this! i just got an instant pot a week ago and didn't understand this part at all! LOL! Thank you!
Thank you so much
This was a great explanation. It was one of the only questions I had that I couldn't figure out myself with certainty. Thank you!
Thanks Karen! Great video, helped me with exactly what I needed with no fluff.
Thank you so much! Your video has been so helpful.
thank you for this video! I was terrified of 10 minute natural release! I thought I'd still have to release the steam after the natural release time was up!
5:35 I thought that was my Alexa, telling me my Instant Pot was done! :,D
Great video!
