    I had a Wolfgang puck pressure cooker so the pressure release isn’t new to me but doing the water test for my new IP was confusing because I have cognitive issues and reading is sometimes hard. I was googling how to do it but wasn’t finding anything. I had been watching videos and when I opened the YouTube app this video was here. Thank you for making it as it helped me understand the test a bit better.

    Thank you so much! The steam terrified me because every other video I saw people were narrating over a video or has music playing and they didn’t let me hear the noise! Now I know what to expect and I don’t have to be afraid of my instant pot! Yay! Subscribed! 🙂

    I'm glad I watched this before I did it. I didn't know so much steam and hissing would come out because I've never used a pressure cooker before. I would've freaked out had I not watched your video. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!! I really hope you are still making videos! 🙂 I guess I missed the beeping when it was done and was concerned because it was showing L00:04. So glad you explained was that was about. Now onto watching your other videos!!

    I heard some units have a three quart line. Don’t use it for your water measurement. Use a traditional cooking measuring cup, not the cup included with the product. For the 8 quart cooker put 3 cups of water in the stainless steel insert. That is 24 ounces or 750 liters. I don’t know how much water goes in the smaller cookers. Check the instructions with your Instant Pot and following the instructions no matter what size unit you have.

    thank you for such a concise and accurate demo. You're the third video I listened to and the first one that wasn't an obnoxious show off so I subscribed to you. Now to actually cook! thanks

    Tested mine today. I made sure the sealing valve was pointed to "sealing." Once the timer started counting down, my valve blew off steam for the entire two minutes! I assume that's a problem for a brand new machine?
