No music is best

[@brendakenneth210]

One question, the ring needs to be removed after every dish cooked? Will it not make the ring loose? Thank you for all the super advice. I am a very new first time instant pot user❤

[@mammie19621962]

1.) No 🎶 music! 2.) And... I DON'T AGREE with removing seal ring every time. That will cause the ring to stretch out and/or wear out way TOO SOON! 😖

[@traciebarrass6612]

No music is so much better, mainly because we are trying to listen to what your saying. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@angiehull4271]

I totally agree

[@dawnlapp4862]

No music is way better. I can't stand back ground music on shows or videos. Especially when it's as loud as the person talking.

I agree, too. It's easier to hear someone talking when there's no background music.

[@MaharbaRacsoChannel]

Yeah! You should use a lavalier mic though, they are not expensive and they will sound better for voice than other very expensive mics, because they are a lot closer, so it won't have all that reverb and your voice will be a lot clearer.

This is excellent. Subscribed.😊

[@davidbgreensmith]

Great list. I would add 27 don't pull part of the sealing ring out and then just keep pulling. Work your way around. The rivets under the retaining ring can snap if too much force is applied. 28 buy an extra sealing ring and use one for sweet/low flavour foods, and one for strong savoury foods like chillies, curries, beans, etc.

I prefer no music. Thanks for asking. I’m watching you for INFORMATION, not ENTERTAINMENT. I lost my manual before I ever began using it. In essence, you are my manual!

[@Lisa.Childs]

SO kind!! thank you!!!

[@94q45t]

Love this video. OneNote from an electrician though. If an extension cord has an impact on your cook time, the cord wires are too small. This is bad for the appliance, and it is potentially a safety hazard. Big box (Lowe’s, HomeDepot, etc) or hardware stores sell a variety of cords in different gages. Also the longer the cord, the heavier gage it needs to be.

[@VixanneDarkfairy]

My Yedi pressure cooker specifically says NOT to use an extension cord in the instruction manual for these reasons.

[@mjt1517]

Do NOT use an extension cord with small kitchen appliances. There's a reason these cords are as short as they are.

[@KathyM]

I burned out 3 expensive 55 cup coffee pots before knowing not to put it on an extension cord. Get a designated extension cord specifically for small appliances.

[@Pamsouthdakota]

[@MyCrystalPlaid]

Excellent tips. Even those of us who have been cooking for years can learn a thing or two from your video. As far as the music goes: This is the first video of yours that I've watched, so I can't compare with/without for yours, but I usually find that music with an instructional video distracts rather than enhances.

[@mikemorton6967]

Great job explaining everything. This is the most thorough video and explanations I've seen since I open my instant pot. It doesn't matter to me with or without music. It's your video, so run it however you like.

[@Alaska_Gal]

Mine arrives tomorrow! #1 about not putting it on glass stovetop is really good to know. Thank you for all of your tips!

[@makennazornes]

Hey, just wanted to make the comment that my husband who fixes furnaces heard your last tip, and he said that your problem is likely that you're using an extension cord with too small of a gauge. A heavy-duty extension cord should fix the problem. Doesn't have to be longer, just a thicker gauge.

[@kayreeve.author]

Fantastic video. I love the comfort of learning 'what not to do' rather than learning the hard way.

[@ericavandegrift6219]

When I use the quick release I don’t even use my hand lol. I get a wooden spoon and turn the knob with that.

[@TeddieBean]

The spoon/ladels that come with most instant pots with the "standard" release valves actually fit onto the release valve - use the handle end where there's a hole for hanging the utensil, it should pretty much fit on perfectly 👍🏻

[@moncher2797]

If you’re that afraid, let it sit for a while. It doesn’t have to be quick released. I’ve always used my finger & have NEVER burned myself. All you have to do is touch the the little protruding thingy and move it with the slightest twitch of your finger. If your big enough to cook, then your big enough to bend your finger.

[@catmom1322]

Thanks so much. I'm a beginner so I'm researching everything there is to know before actually cooking anything.

[@moncher2797]

In your research, read the manual, including "troubleshooting". Also, check the picture of your IP to make certain you have all its parts. Another thing, when buying a cookbook, it’s nice if it has Instant Pots approval label.

[@californiahiker9616]

Thank you! I like the presentation without music. I am a very experienced instant pot user so I knew most of what you presented. I admit I didn’t know that the slow cooking function cooks at a lower temp than a regular crock pot. I’ve not ever used that function as I like my slow cooked food in stone ware. I always leave my instant pot on the back burner of my glass top stove. It never occurred to me someone could turn on the burner. It’s just my husband and me, so that’s not going to happen. I like the convenience of the exhaust fan right above the pot when I release pressure. Just make sure when you release pressure you don’t direct the steam at the light bulbs. I never had an issue in my house, but I once broke the bulbs in my son’s house. Nice presentation!

[@philso7872]

My wife also puts it on our gas stove. She puts a baking sheet on the grating so the IP has a more stable base. A round pizza pan would also work.

[@triemstad]

@@philso7872 I use a glass plate from a microwave that I got at a thrift store, which has them every once in a while. I was lucky enough to get a round one that exactly fits under the Instant Pot. Did this because using the IP directly on the counter discolored the counter top.

[@Lisa.Childs]

I put mine on the stove all the time, usually on a large wooden cutting board from Ikea. But this video is geared toward beginners so advacned users can do whatever they please as long as they know what NOT to do! ;)

[@californiahiker9616]

Good idea putting a cutting board or pizza pan under the pot. Thanks!

[@jackiefuller3459]

Of course a slow cooker cooks at a lower temperature 🤷‍♀️.

Good job, you are very clear and concise. I appreciate it that you aren't distracting us with music and extra chat.

[@monicap9662]

A must-watch for new owners like me. Thank you! One question about your instructions to not use milk as the liquid in a recipe. Does this mean when the only liquid is milk? I used a mixture of liquids that included milk and cream (didn't have half/half) to make risotto and had no problems with the results (in fact it was perfect). How much milk is too much milk? As for music/no music. I vote for no music.

[@coldbrewer003]

I'm watching this AFTER using mine the first time. I quick released the valve when it had a lot of liquid. Ended up cleaning the ceiling. Haha

[@Kris-st4zw]

This comment just gave me a good laugh

[@JWu-jt7fz]

Same. Mine just wet the entire dry kitchen :(

[@Lucky-xj5em]

If we can’t use the valve to release with liquid..then what is the alternative?

[@houseofschenck6230]

@@Lucky-xj5em Allow it to do a natural release. It may take about 10-20 minutes to slowly release.

[@AuntWizzy]

I haven't done that with my instant pot ....BUT I HAVE done it with hot liquid in a blender--what a mess on the ceiling, walls, floor, me....I just assumed that it would be the same issue with the instant pot so I have been careful. And yes ,you are a great presenter! Thank you!

#27 Don’t forget to put the seal back on your instant pot before using it after cleaning it. I've done this more than once. It will function without the seal, but it won't work. This is a great video. I felt the face palm of mistakes I've made and learned some new stuff too.😁👍

@@yujuti8416 I don't think you damaged anything, it just prevents the pot from building up pressure and then pressure cooking. if you were using it as a slow cooker it should not have made any difference.

Quick note: if you are having problems with an extension cord,. you are likely using a cheap (lamp) extension. If you have an industrial grade extension (15-20A. like used for power tools), It should be fine. Hard to find one 6 ft or shorter, but I have one.

My ADHD kicks in, along with a little nerve deafness, and I either can’t concentrate on what is being said because of the music, or I can’t distinguish the speech from the music. You did a great job without the added distraction, you are a very good presenter.)

If you ever revise this video, I recommend a slight change to your extension cord reference. If the extension cord you used extended the time to get to pressure and to cook, this means the cord you used did not have a sufficient amperage rating, and the cord itself was heating up. The reason not to use such a cord is that it is a significant fire hazard. An appliance cord rated for the amperage drawn by the Instant Pot would be electrically safe, but it usually presents the hazard of someone snagging it while the pot is in use. So, same recommendation (don't use an extension cord), but for slightly different reasons. No music is best. Storing lid and seal ring my favorite.
