Oh no , what a nightmare. So easily done.

thank you

Glad it was helpful and good luck. If you've done everything else, maybe try a replacement seal. It's possible the water is escaping and it's going dry despite putting enough in at the beginning. And yes, good idea, try more water then use saute to simmer it off at the end. Interested in how it goes 👍

oh no, that must have been awful! Yes those old pressure cookers could be terrifying. I prefer these modern ones so my stupid mistakes are reduced in number :)

thank you!

ooh that's a tricky one cos of the models being so different for steam - which one do you have?

yes, imperfect but I love them

Glad I could help. Hope you have fun with it! 👍

Great to hear!

that's good. I'm not sure I could rely on my memory :)

👍

yes absolutely, it will cook any rice. Not quite as 'perfection' as a fancy rice cooker but I use mine for all rice in this house. Also makes an amazing risotto - no stirring! 🎉

Oh wow, amazing! Oh yes, I loved those little coloured ones but they disappeared from sale so quickly here. I have one of those versazone air fryers at the moment and use it for everything. If it wasn't for occasional sourdough making phases and pizza, I don't think i'd need an oven at all. Thanks so much for sharing 👍😊

thank you so much

That's so interesting Rob. I'll pin that for others to see. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Julia. For sauté , to prevent burning to the pot, always pre-heat before putting in the food or oils. This is the same for all stainless steel - heating helps 'close pores' on the stainless steel. If you do get a burn, I find soaking for a few hours before washing up tends to help. I hope that helps. 👍

You are so welcome and thanks for sharing that. I got a Ninja all in one to test out in a sale and honestly, it's so heavy that I struggle to even move it on the counter top so it's gone back in the box for now

ahhh thank you! What a lovely welcome 😊

Thank you so much!

thank you so much. And also for sharing your method for eggs from the fridge. I'll pin that for others to see 👍😊

Hi Agnes, do you know, I'm not sure but just checked in my Instant Pot Pro Crisp Manual and it says this about tuning the beeps on and off : "When in Standby mode, press and hold + over Time until the display indicates S On (sound on) or SOFF (sound off).Note: Error alerts cannot be silenced" From my interpretation, that means the pot should still beep as the burn notice is an error alert. Hope that helps

ah thank you so much - youtube is a very crowded place right now 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖 so I especially love hearing from fellow humans. Well wishes to you and I hope you are enjoying your new Instant Pot 👍

Hi there, with chicken I'd say 3-4 days in the fridge if you are using your own chicken and it's well sealed ( or it can be refrozen once cooked too). I say 'your own' not meaning you need to be a homesteader or chicken farmer, but just to distinguish it from pre-cooked rotisserie chicken bought from the store as that tends to have a very short shelf life. Ah yes, we all get caught by the burn notice - just one of those things that's part of using an electric pressure cooker. I hope you were kind to yourself and had something nice to eat after the chicken had left the building 😊

Hi Yes we did have a nice healthy meal from our local Greek restaurant, they cook everything over charcoals, really lovely. :)

Ooh lovely ☺️

You are so welcome Annie and thanks for leaving such a nice message. I'm still learning too - its fun all being on this journey together. You never know what you don't know :)

you're welcome Marian 👍

@@CookingandCalm I just returned to watch video again and saw that I only managed to comment "Tha" although if your reply is anything to go by you did understand what I meant to say. lol After further investigations and your excellent post I have bought the Instant Pot Vortex 2l Mini Air Fryer and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. 😃😋

Yes I looked on the bright side and assumed it was a ‘thanks’ in the making! Enjoy your adventures when it arrives 👍😊

@@CookingandCalm I will, thank you

Hi Dennis and thanks for sharing that - I'm sorry to hear that. It must take some of the joy out of using it. No I've never had that happen with the Instant Pots I've had. It sounds like the float valve or something between the different sealing mechanisms isn't quite interacting correctly. If you haven't already done this, I'd take the lid apart (including that little rubber cap that holds the float valve in the lid) and give it all a good clean and soak on the off-chance there's something microscopic and sticky hanging around somewhere hidden. If you've already done all of that, it could be worth asking Instant Pot as maybe they can suggest a likely root cause and offer a replacement part if so (you never know!). I don't set the pressure cooker away and then leave home - for me it's more about not needing to be there when it finishes and being able to get on with other things at home. That Duo model was my first model of Instant Pot too - it's ages since I've used it but it's the only not in use that I haven't yet donated. I keep meaning to but I'm a bit sentimental about it! In terms of the rest of the models and reliability, I've had good experience with all of them I've had except the Ultimate Lid ( I don't recommend that one). I hope that helps and your IP gets sorted out or you get a new one you like 👍

you are so welcome - I still use this tip myself all the time!

Ha ha - thank you! I don't watch Downton Abbey but my accent is originally from the north east of england but I've lived all over the place in the Uk and also in the US for a bit so it's a bit of a hybrid :)

Ah no, sorry, they're not compatible between models as far as I know 😕 - having said that there have been so many new models recently , things could have changed so for 100%, ask the Instant Pot people. I've never really understood why they don't make them compatible (except $) rather than keep pushing out more and more models with only slight variations.That's my moan of the day ;)

@@CookingandCalm Thanks a lot for the clarification! That really helps a lot!!

Awesome! Thank you so much Jakob. I hope you enjoy learning your new gadget. I can't imagine life without one.

The Pro Crisp has a removable air fryer lid and accessories so it does pressure cooking and air frying, dehydrating , grilling/baking etc (and a fair bit more expensive) . It's a great device if you need all in one and don't have an air fryer, though I still think stand alone air fryers are better. The Pro 8L I think is like my 6L and has more features relating to pressure cooking and customising to your own way of cooking but it can't air fry etc . I don't have the Pro 8L so do check on the Instant Pot Site where they usually have a 'side by side' list of functions you can compare hidden away somewhere. I hope that helps.

@@CookingandCalm thanks

Hi there, yes I have a small IP stable 😉. I bought my first 6L Duo when that was the only model and it blew me away, so when the UK version of Duo Crisp came out I bought that straight away to do my batch cooking (I got the larger one) and because I was so keen on that air fryer lid. After that, I started the youtube channel and I have bought more models partly in response to requests to review them here, and partly because I just love a gadget 🤣 and I'm always in search of that perfect Instant Pot. I still have my first Duo (sentimental reasons - I will likely donate that soon as we've moved house and have little storage here), the Evo I gave to my sister after I bought the 'Ultimate Lid' - this Ultimate Lid is the only one that 'broke' on me and I returned to the shop. I don't recommend that one now as lots of others have reported problems too. As best as I can remember, I just don't hear problems on the other models except where someone has put on the stove and melted it accidentally etc. That can happen to any of us ! The two I have on active duty are the Instant Pot Pro and the Instant Pot Pro Crisp. I am a big fan of the new style inner pots which is why I love these two. The Pro 6L is a great 'everyday' pot for us and the Pro Crisp is my larger one (8L) for batch cooks and also, again, because for me I love especially roast chicken with the combo pressure cook and air fry method. I tend to swap between the two dependent on what's going on seasonally and what my favourite things to cook are at any time. I've experienced excellent longevity with all that I've owned and I always seem to be able to get the spare sealing rings, inner pots etc for these models. I didn't get the same with the Ultimate Lid and also I've recently tried the 'big Ninja' which seems very hard to get spares for. The noise of that was driving us mad so I've put it away for now but will review eventually for the channel. I hope that helps a bit - I've not tried any of those newer models as my stable is full right now but I'm sure others have on youtube. In my opinion, IP are making too many new models as it has become so confusing (and it was already quite bad). There tend to be IP official facebook groups for Instant Pot Users in many countries and they can be a good place to get a sense of what's working for people too.

I don't find it the best if slow cooking is your main thing. Think of it as a Pressure Cooker with 'extra bits' :) Some people have had better experience than me so do read the comments below and some models may be better than others. I'm a pressure cooking gal so haven't done loads of testing on my other models. Good luck whichever way you decide to go.

Hi Sabine, the main difference between these two is that the Pro Crisp has the Air Fryer Lid. The Pro has no air fry function but does have some pre-sets you can tailor to your own cooking times. They both have the new style inner pot which is a great upgrade. I have these two videos that might help you see the differences kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZPZond-ZciKn7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/janVk4B8jbiFaZo

Are the pressure cook functions the same, I have à airfryer

Very similar - if you already have an air fryer, I wouldn’t worry too much about the ‘Crisp’ models at least at first.

I've got it on my list now- thank you😊

No they won't melt if it's the one with handles and I've used mine in there no problem (check your manual to make sure as there might be differences between countries)

You are so welcome - sometimes these things are just completely confusing.

I hope she answers as well. Was wondering the and after watching her videos.

Hi there, my favourite tends to change and it does depend on how you like to cook to some extent. I also haven't tried out so many of the models so I can only speak to the ones I've owned. But here goes...I'd say today as I write this , the Instant Pot Pro Crisp is my favourite- this is because it's large size and I do a lot of batch cooking, has the new version of the pot with handles which I love and I like the air fryer lid as I cook roast chicken a lot and it does a great job. If it wasn't for the chicken roasting, I think the Instant Pot Pro and a separate drawer style air fryer is a great set up. ( I'm lucky enough to have a drawer style air fryer too and generally rate them better). For the model I've had that's lasted years, I found the Instant Pot Duo Crisp to be really brilliant but I donated it when I got the Pro version with the new inner pot. The only model I've had any trouble with is the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid and I don't recommend that one. Hope that helps :)
