    Mine went back into the box after I tried to figure it out…..You are the 5th or 6th video that I am attempting to watch. The others were of no help. And here is why…my Instapot HAS NO MANUAL BUTTON!!!! The directions were worthless because it kept telling me to press the Manual button….HELP!!!! I amwatching you now…and thank you..thank you thank you….I now know that my pressure cook button IS my Manual button…..now here is another question….I do NOT have an adjust button……or a timer button….

    I like you. You are not assuming that all of us are aware of all of these little things that we miss. You missed one. How do I set the pressure to high? I have the insta pot duo

    Instant Pot should just get rid of the instructions in the box and put a link to your video on a piece of paper instead! Loved this video, I feel less scared of my IP now! Thank you!

    You talk really fast… I love it! You answered 5 questions.
    I failed making eggs as I received a burn notice. I know it was a sealing issue. I went BACK to making water and was successful. I think I got this….thank you again!

    Wow! Thank you so much for your video. I was under “pressure” by my family to get the meal done and decided to give my new pot a try. I was nervous until I watched your video on how to correctly use my instant pot! Thank goodness too because I was very close to releasing my “pressure valve!”

    THANK YOU! I just got an Instant Pot from someone who didn't use it. She didn't have the instructions and I've been really confused about the display and how it counts down. You've explained it perfectly.

    Great video! You explained things so well and to the point. Instant Pot should have consulted with you on their directions in the booklet provided which said nothing about the two different seals. I have the Duo Nova and heard somewhere on a vide the orange one is for sweet things?? Thanks again, Jeff!

    Thank you so much for this awesome video!
    My model doesn't have an adjust button. I have the model that has the pressure cook (manual) button at the bottom right corner as you mentioned, but it also has the "keep warm" button in the position where your "adjust" button is. What is the alternative "adjust" button for my model?

    Thanks for all your useful information, this video has helped me out tremendously. The only question I have is there much difference in the lux vs. the viva vs. the duo nova. I just purchased the 6 qt. Duo Nova and was waiting to unpack it to make sure it was a good one.
