I use baking soda and a scrubbie to clean my inner pot. No chemicals at all, nontoxic and totally natural, scrubs off any nasty bits and shines the stainless steel right up. I also use it on my stainless steel flat ware, spoons, knives...etc, brings the shine back out.

I use my instant pot for steel cut oats, all kinds of beans and legumes, potatoes, rice , artichokes, vegan spaghetti...( will try the lasagna pot in pot) and soups and chilies. I could not function without an instant pot I feel. Loved the 0 minutes on the broccoli. I needed that better timing.

Great selection of accessories for an electric pressure cooker. Most people don't realize the have many oven safe cook and storage containers that can be used in an EPC. So long as it is oven safe and doesn't block steam circulation, one can use it in an EPC. Always use the trivet. Never forget the water. (Clearly these comments are for all others.) Bar keepers friend is a micro scrubber. No scratch pad necessary. The scratch pad creates deeper scratch for food to stick in. Cleaning with just the BKF and a regular sponge or non-scratching scrubber will actually make a smoother surface to allow food to come off easier the next time. You'll actually get a brighter shine without the abrasive scrubbing pads. Cheers.

We got the ultra 10 in 1 for our daughter's birthday. We liked it so well we bought 2 more for us. The biggest problem we've had is that 99% of Instant pot recipes are for the less expensive models and we had to translate. Your explanations are very helpful, being that we are all beginners with this kind of cooking. It would be a Godsend if Instant would create a new cookbook with the 10-in-1 in mind. If we sound a bit like ignoramuses, We're old school. I'm 87 and my wife is 92. First time we heard of an instant pot we thought about something to put beside the bed in case we didn't think we could make to the john fast enough lol.

I belong to the Facebook IP Community group. I mentioned to the group that I used my white Pyrex dish (like yours) for making cheesecake. One of the administrators of the group told me it was not IP safe. I didn't believe it, so I called the Pyrex Co. office just north of Chicago where I live. The representative told me it was not safe due to the high heat under pressure in a confined space and the lack of air circulation around the dish like you would get in an oven. It may crack under pressure. Bummer! I immediately bought a Fat Daddio 6 inch X 3 inch pan with a removable bottom from Amazon. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I love your videos. They are very helpful as I just got an IP LUX for Christmas. I LOVE it, and I use it each day.

Looking forward to seeing your post on Pop Corn. This is the recipe I used • 2 tbsp butter • 3 tbsp coconut oil I used olive oil are I don't like the taste of coconut oil • 1/2 c popcorn kernels • salt Instructions 1. Set Instant Pot to saute, more (or high) setting. 2. Add coconut oil and butter and allow to melt completely and start to sizzle (important step - watch video in this post for an example). 3. Add popcorn kernels and stir so all kernels are coated with oil. 4. Place glass lid on top and hold, popcorn will begin popping in about 2-3 minutes, turn off when 2/3 of kernels have popped and they will continue to pop but not burn. 5. Carefully remove lid. Pour out of pot when done so they don't continue to cook. Salt and you're done! Thanks Lynnette

Bar Keepers Friend works too, but vinegar sounds like the cheapest and safest method. It’s good for SO many things! I use the SAME ring for everything and even though the last smell be there, it has NEVER transferred the next food, Cook meat and oatmeal all the time and it’s never tasted like roast beef. Having extra rings on hand is great in case of needing a new in ASAP, but it’s not necessary to prevent odor transfer. No such thing, at least from what I’ve cooked. Perhaps curry is a different story...

Ok I have to share my first Instant Pot mistake. I was totally craving shrimp cocktail but only had a bag of raw tiger shrimp tail on. Lol I looked up the amount of time on the guide that came with it. it was like a min i think. the shrimp was frozen and so i did what the directions called for... 12 min later after the 10 min of steam building, and a in cook time. of course the time it took to turn it off and release the pressure ... my shrimps fell right out of the tail. I was so mad. The next time i cooked in it as well as the following 3 times my mistakes were about the same outcomes. So a few days later I am at this place where i volunteer cooking and such, I am talking to one of my friends who also volunteers theer and i told her this is the last attempt im going to make. If this dont work I am returning it to Amazon. THat evening I came home and I dont recall what I made, only that it came out perfect.That was 3 months ago and i use it everyday!!! My patience with an inanimate object is not always there, but this time it was and it paid off.

@@karenbellessapeterse Hi and thanx for the 'get-back'. I HAVE since bought the 3qt. liner and it works / fits perfectly on the 6qt trivet. I'm gonna fashion some hooks from coat hanger wire to reach in and lift the loaded trivet out. I made stuffing/ dressing in it yesterday and it worked fine. The 3qt liner was half the price of the stack type inserts and can contain a larger portion of food. I'm going to have to find a lid of some sort that isn't aluminum. I hate to burst anyone's bubble but I swear that in time we will be told that aluminum cookware, much like teflon, is hazardous to health. I worked in an aluminum plant for 34 years where we heated, melted, shredded aluminum and some of our scrap suppliers even had warnings on the scrap containers that when heated, aluminum WILL off gas or leach into the atmosphere , liquids etc., thus making inhaled smoke, heated metal gasses poisonous. The majority of people I worked with died of strange conditions far earlier than the national averages. I apologize for the rant but when the BAYER corporation warns people of dangerous aluminum, I tend to pay attention. Why they don't even warn folks about their herbicide Roundup!
