Thanks, Lisa. I appreciate your pleasant, authentic explanations. Some channels have hyperactive guests and they're a bit annoying, excuse me for being honest here. 😇
this is so helpful!!!
Have wanted to take advantage of the Black Friday sales on this for a while – after seeing this vid I feel like I'm ready to take the dive. Respect.
Thank you I had decided to get one a year ago, been waiting for an affordable price and which size is suitable for me,but I never had so much information on operation.
Not for me..I can live without one. When I grew up my mom used a pressure cooker…and I plan to give away my crockpot after hearing Lisa say crockpots are unhealrhy. I will not spend money on a insta pot. Too much stuff.
You had said you would talk about why you love using it so much, but I didn't see where you answered that. I would love to know, as I don't see a benefit to getting one…..
You didn't finish explaining the hard-boiled eggs..or at least I didn't fully get it. You were saying they take 5 minutes but to keep in mind it takes 2 minutes to release pressure…I think that's what you said. Does that mean you release the pressure for hard-boiled eggs at the 3 minute mark? I know that's basic math, but I'm not sure if that's what you were telling us.
I'm sold on this! Putting it on my Christmas list! Thank you, thank you!
Safety tip: if you accidentally drop it…. Keep an eye on it when you try to use it again. Mine kept turning itself back on! I unplug my new one right away when I'm done using it.
I've had mine for 2 years and didn't know I could set the preset buttons 😂 Glad I decided to watch this! Thank you 😁
So weird I have never noticed mine getting hot on the outside. Now I need to pay attention!
I have three Instant Pots. 😳
Can you get extra of the rubber rings that seal it for pressure cooking? My mother had an old style stove top pressure cooker. She often used it for baking potatoes. Cooked then fast and they were soooo good.
Hello Mrs Lisa, if you look in your manual under “yogurt” you will find that by pressing the
yogurt buttonthen theadjust buttonuntil your screen says “boil” you can walk away from you IP and it will bring your milk up to 180* with no thermometer checking or scorching of your milk. I also use the glass lid during yogurt making to have less of a skim on the milk top. Then depending on what time of the year it is – the temperature of the house effects cool down time- I start checking it around 3-4 hours with a thermometer until it reads 115* then proceed (add yogurt or starter) and useyogurt buttonthenadjust buttonto set it to 8 hours. Jar up,refrigerate and enjoy.Love my new Instant pot……thanks to your video…….. thanks for sharing 🍗🍗🍗
I lay an unfolded kitchen towel over the vent when I release the vent.
I have a Quick Cooker from Pampered Chef and I love it!!!! It has more safety features and more cook settings on it. Unfortunately is a bit more pricey, but, I find it worth it.
I never liked cooking chicken until I started cooking it in my instant pot. SO much easier and faster, and it always comes out perfect!
Any brand better than another? The Pioneer Woman had hers on sale but no sure if hers was a good one. There are so many different brands on the market so it’s hard to know which one to buy. Thanks!!
….but yogurt……yes! Enough said! 🤗
Thank you so much!♥️
Thank you so much Lisa for this amazingly useful video – so helpful to hear all the tips – I am going to try your whole chicken and beef recipes now – I’m already a convert from your brilliant bone broth recipe. Also I will try yoghurt ! Never imagined I could make homemade yoghurt for my family and you have made it so accessible and all your recipes are so good !
I put the instant pot under the exhaust fan and use that to help reduce the steam when venting! Huge help so it is not all impacting the cabinets and food stored above.
I love my instant pot 🙂 thank you for all the great information!
Thank you! I have one and I'm so intimidated by it. I haven't even taken it out of the box lol
I bought more than one ring so, I have one just for yogurt & desserts & one for the smelly meats
I wish there was an Australian version. We're on 240v. So buying a converter (or whatever it's called), plus a $500 InstantPot on Amazon is too much 😭. Has anyone had good experiences with Breville Pressure Cookers/Multicookers?
I just got one two weeks ago and I love it! I kept reading how tricky it was to get chicken right but I have not had an issue at all (knock on wood) and I cook a lot of chicken. I love this thing! Just made an awesome tortilla soup two days ago and will be making something tomorrow! LOVE IT! I will check out your recipes too!
My crock pot lid broke so I just bought one last night! Perfect timing!!!
Thank you! I do t have an Instapot yet and have been kinda mystified by them.
My husband and I bought the instant pot and we were NOT happy with the cooked results so I returned it. We prefer a standard pot or the old fashioned pressure cooker which is awesome.
So helpful, thank you.
Great video! Always wanted one but had no idea how to use it believe it or not 🤦🏽♀️ thank u!
This is on my list! Everyone tells me I need one 🙂 Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for this post. Walmart has a 6quart marked down from $79 to $40. I saw a newer expensive model. I’m tempted to replace my slow cooker because I’m seeing a coating in mine too. Do you see a benefit to a newer model? I really don’t make a lot of crockpot dinners but see benefit in pressure cooking some meals
This video could not have been more timely. I bought my Instantpot a few weeks ago already and finally just took it out of the box this morning. I am realizing that it is way easier than I think it is. Looking forward to making home made yogurt!
Nice tutorial. We bought silicone lids for our pots so we can put the pots of food into the fridge. I recommend! Also, we are careful to not quick release beans because the starchy steam sputters and sprays everything around the pressure cooker.
Have two Instant Pots and the Ace Blender..Love them! I use my Instant Pot on my Island and never had issues using it there, it’s pretty safe to use but use caution as with any appliance..
Ohh I wish I could share pics with you
I'm working on doll bedding and it's turning out so cute
I need to get me one of these
I just have a reg crockpot
I love the yogurt button. I make a gallon so easy also. It's my favorite yogurt maker.
THANK YOU for this! ☺️
