    My favorite thing to make in the instant pot (I heave a Mealthy which is exact same but better) is bone broth and stews. So many things I’ve made in it. It’s my favorite cooking appliance.

    -central Wisconsin: lol, I just used my Instant Pot for the first time tonight, and it was probably about 7 months since I got mine, lol.
    Glad I found your instant pot tutorial here tonight after making my food, because I had no clue how to clean it. Tonight, I just cooked 3 sweet potatoes for 30 min. Hay, it’s a start, and they were delicious by the way! Instant pot recipe I found online said to use 1-cup of water for this. Next time I’ll use 1/2 a cup.

    Thank you!!! I am vegan (sort of) and use my Instant Pot for virtually everything and definitely have not been cleaning it properly. Do I miss meat? Sometimes, but this is working for me (read: lots of beans):) love your channel.

    Thanks for the cleaning share, exactly what I do to clean , but I had my first scorch tonight when I made beef stew😬 I didn’t deglaze properly and it would not pressurize and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. So I finished on the stove and was starving. So important to deglaze after sautéing you’re beef❣️❣️✨💖

    Thank you for this video. It looks like everyone that has an instant pot should have an extra set of silicone rings for the lid. Favorite recipe right now for the IP is Baby Back ribs. That might change when I start using it to make Pho, Ramen, or Stroganoff, though.

    I did this before I even watched this video ( not your fault). I messed up. Because I did not close my lid to seal and I shorted out my insta pot. Ugh. Just a warning guys. Buying another one. Don’t boil anything with the pressure lid on loose. Water must have dripped onto the heating element. Live and learn.

    Great video! We have two Instant Pots—a 3 qt. and a 6 qt. I’m usually using one of them at least 3 to 4 times per week. My favorite quick recipes are these: chuck roast and potatoes, beef stew, chicken stew, spaghetti with a ground beef & marinara sauce, potato salad, mashed potatoes, chili—well, you get the picture—a lot of favorites! Lately, I’m using it more & more to bake, since it is so consistently good and quick.

    The best way to get the smell out of an IP: after you're done cooking and you've washed out the inner container & rubber seal, throw some baking soda in the bottom with a couple inches of water, then put it on to cook for 5-10 minutes. Voila, no smell!

    I dont own an instant pot, but I loved the video. Very detailed 😀
    Although I do not think people are going to take that much time to clean the pot after each use. I wish you shared maybe an easy, quick, detailed but not so detailed approach to doing this… For the future when I do get one 😅
    Thanks anyways! 👍

    I can’t wait to do the vinegar cook for the sealing ring. I store the lid open and upside down, which helps. Also, I have a spare ring for sweet dishes and use the original for savory dishes, since it retained the savory odors. Thanks soooo much for addressing this. I was one of those asking for IP ring cleaning info.

    I am vegan so only ever use my IP for veg and fruit. I have found that cruciferous vegetables discolour the silicone seal and it retains an awful pungent odour. I have tried several things to reduce the smell but nothing really works. I am, therefore, excited to try the steam method but need clarification. Since I have only ever used the manual button, do you actually use the steam button?
