Mr. Nguyen, I like your videos and recipes, including the ginger and onion roast on the fire…what I don't understand is – why in the hell are you using an Electric pot when you have the luxury of using gas range at home to cook your meals…
Which model instant pot you have?
"Round the outside, round the outside"…. LOLOLOL. You are seriously DABOMB.com
I received my Instant Pot about ten days ago. I ran the water test and it worked perfectly. Next day I followed some YouTube videos and cooked a pot roast that came out wonderful. A few days later I prepared everything, seared and started a beef stew but the pot wouldn't pressurize. I tried everything including making sure the pressure valve was clean and the seal was properly seated but nothing worked. I ended up finishing the stew in the oven.
I should mention that when I received the Instant Pot I noticed that the cover over the pressure valve I'd seen in the YouTube videos before I ordered mine was missing. So I eMailed the manufacturer who responded promptly and told me the design was changed and that cover was no longer needed. So it seems that problems with this pressure valve is not something new.
Bottom line is the Instant Pot concept is very seductive and I'd really like to have one but it seems there is a lurking failure in the design that I'd rather not have to worry about. So I eMailed Amazon and they had UPS pick mine up today for a refund.
I wonder how many others have had failures after initial success(es). Should I consider myself lucky that mine quit working early-on rather than after the warranty period expired.?
Super helpful! Thank you!
WOW. Loved this video. I'm a newbie & I'm learning something new every day. Actually 2 new things today. I sub'd and liked. I will be following and trying out some of your recipes!
LOL… instant pot heads, stay lube.. You made me LOL. 😀
Great info!
I just got the instant pot as a gift. Watched many YouTube videos in the last few hours and found your video to be the best. Very informative and entertaining. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work, anh Cuong.
Thank you for the great explanation on the Instant Pot. I will be getting one soon. Just found your channel and subscribed. Do you think the Smart is worth the extra money vs Duo60? I'm debating between the two. I like the Smart app but am intimidated by how to use it….. just checking it out before I get the Instant Pot. 🙂 Do you have any tutorial on how to create recipe scripts? Thanks again for the great video. Now, on to another one of your videos. LOL. – Nhi –
I absolutely LOVE this video. Thank you so much. However, (there is always a however) the motion in the video actually made me nauseous. I had to stop for awhile. So, if it is possible to steady the camera, I will be eternally grateful.
Another good vid Cuong, thanks for the tips… and stay lubed my friend, lol
Excellent video. Can't wait for a hacked version that lets you ardrino the setup 🙂 Thanks for the excellent instructions.
Thank you ! Very helpful !
You have a very nice smile. Oh it must be the lubrication! Thanks for a very informative video.
Does anyone know why the IP uses medium high. (about 11psi) rather than what a stove top does, ie 15psi, or high pressure?
Very thorough, and very helpful. Thank you very much.
Loved the spontaneous "round the outside" 😀
Are you going to upload more simple instant pot recipes in the future? Its easy listening to you talking
a tad off topic, but love the countertops. What color/product are they?
The science geek in me appreciates you explaining this with the Ideal Gas Law! thanks again for your instructional videos and the importance of staying lubed while cooking.
Cheers Cuong and thank you for such a great and informative video. You make me so proud to be a pothead! Looking forward to more cooking and, of course, lubrication.
Great video Cuong Nguyen.
PV = nRT I don't think I have ever seen that explanation for folks about the Instant Pot. Physics in the kitchen!
