Tip I learned in Korea, always add sesame oil when it's done as cooking it the flavor dulls down over that time, but adding it when it's done you get a good hit of the flavor.

[@hoops8996]

Thank you for this, great tip! I add some to my rice, in the rice cooker to coat and prevent sticking. I will add some after as well now for more flavor ☺️

Got a small pot for myself last year and use it at least once a week. Pot roast start to finish, 40 minutes. Stew, 25 minutes. Chili, noodle dishes, soup. Would replace it in a heartbeat if it ever quit.

[@elizabethlockley5861]

It can be dangerous for you if your standing right there when that pot explodes & food goes everywhere.

[@JustMe-FromMO-USA]

I was raised by a mom who instilled in me the "pressure cookers can blow up" thought process. Great! So I have never cooked with a pressure cooker. You may have helped me overcome the fear of pressure cooker/instant pot cooking. Thank you for this tutorial/experiment because I will try these recipes. All of them! Maybe not all on the same day :) but I will try each one. Thanks, Sam. I always like it when I watch something that I don't regret the time spent watching it afterward. That never happens with your videos. Sam, you are a chef/cook who is "just my cup of tea".

[@Ozziecatsmom]

Hope you enjoy cooking with your pressure cooker. There are so many good recipes on KZbin, if you haven’t checked out these yet give them a try- Pressure your Luck, the Salted Pepper, Six Sisters Stuff. I grew up with my mom using her stove top pressure cooker a lot, never heard her talk about it blowing up!

I was in the store yesterday and saw some short ribs that looked great. The sell-by date was the next day (today), so they were selling for less than 1/2 price. I wasn’t even sure what to do with them, but they looked so nice and the price was right, so I bought them. Then I remembered this video. I followed your recipe and they turned out fantastic! And I didn’t have an all-day cook going either. Keep the cooks coming, Sam!

[@me36391]

If you goto a grocery store. from my exp. about 1/2 hr after opening, you can find them starting to re price meat from previous day to 1/2 price or cheaper. Saves a ton of money. Make sure you are prepared to either cook right away or put in freezer.

[@Therealrejiane]

Not just the cooking, but it’s the personality for me! First time viewer and pleasantly surprised. I’ve owned my instapot for over a year and have not used it bc I’m just so used to the “old school” way but now i will be lol. Thank you for these beautiful recipes! Definitely will be subscribing !

Welcome to the Cult of Sam The Cooking Guy! LOL JK, he (they) are fantastic! And so are instant pots! I have 3 and they all have different purposes and all get used. :) lol!!!

[@imotionsrt4]

Everything looks good! Next time "sauté" the sausage for the jambalaya. Just like the short ribs, it will give the sausage a sear and provide color and flavor to the jambalaya.

[@DietBajaBlast]

The jambalaya looked revolting... from someone that's been to NOLA many times.

[@imotionsrt4]

@@DietBajaBlast I live in Houston, with family in Louisiana... I know what a good jambalaya looks like. But my comment wasn't to tear apart the product of a man who's never made it, it was just a tip on how to get a little more flavor next time.

[@leahrabeauxvezinat8871]

Second sautéing the sausage. A little dab of tomato paste too for red jambalaya or really carnalize onion, bell pepper, celery (instead of green chilies) to do a white (tan really) jambalaya. Sam's does look different than I am used to, but he had all the flavors present.

[@derikduley7806]

I 3rd sautéing but also tomatoes. It's not jambalaya without tomatoes (unless you're fun Opelousas).

[@bamachine]

The latest Instantpot version has tabs on the pot, with silicone handle, it locks the pot in place and makes it easy to remove the pot. Also, when doing starchy things like rice or pasta, do not do the full quick release in one go. Quick release for 10 seconds, stop for 10 seconds, quick release again for 10 seconds, stop, rinse, repeat until lid is ready to open. If you do the full release without that method, you will end up filling the release valve with starch, which will eventually completely block it.

[@laurenadegoke6754]

Is there a way to clean the valve if it becomes completely blocked?

[@bamachine]

@@laurenadegoke6754 Not sure, I imagine there is a proven method. I do use a 1 part distilled vinegar to 3 parts hot water mixture to soak the entire inside of lid, once every month, turn the lid upside down in sink and pour in mixture, let soak for 15 minutes then thoroughly rinse out. That might work to help unclog it, if it ever becomes fully clogged. I just heard stories about others who made the mistake(I watched a bunch of user videos before I bought mine), so have avoided it.

[@carrierichardson6619]

@@bamachine I wonder how I can prevent the clogging in mine? I got the Ninja Foodi for Xmas & the lid just lifts & does not detach from the machine. I absolutely love it. It has become just as important in my kitchen as the stove!

[@bamachine]

@@carrierichardson6619 As I understand it, the foodi is a multipurpose piece of kit, pressure cooker and air fryer. The air fryer lid does not come off but it flips up 90 degrees vertical. Then you can put on a pressure cooker lid, one that is removable. It has a pressure release knob that you could use a wooden spoon or something similar to rotate it from seal to release but not all the way until it locks in the release position, this way you could let it reseal after letting some pressure out and follow the pattern I mentioned in my OP.

[@Litlesmall]

What’s the version is he using and what is the newest version you are talking about?

[@leahchiasson]

So first let me start by saying I’ve maybe left one or two comments on youtube EVER! I cooked the ribs today. It’s the best I’ve ever eaten! The flavor, the tenderness, and SO SIMPLE!! Omg! This will be a thing for me going forward. On top of all of that it didn’t heat up my house, I didn’t have to watch over it, and my hubby didn’t have to stand over a hot grill! Everything about this is absolutely amazing! Try it guys! I love my instant pot and this recipe just made it even that much better! Ty

[@shoelessjoe428]

The short rib looks, by far, the best. Would love to see some more of these. Especially meaty recipes, stews, bolognese, chilli. etc

[@shanapatterson5014]

I use a big Binder clip to hold my instant pots inner bowl still. Keeps the pot from spinning around when I mix stuff up inside!

[@e51v50h]

Same here......commented on the OG vid with the crazy audio.....great minds. :)

[@sabrinalehtisaari7552]

Thank you! I’m new to using one and I was trying to figure out what to do to stop that.

[@amoran384]

I do the same thing! Works great!

[@donitaforrest9064]

There are no problems, only solutions...

[@orbtastic]

I wondered what I did after watching this video. I use it maybe twice a week on avg for sauteing and slow cooking. So the first time I used it after the video I have no recollection as I was on auto pilot. The second time I found I used what I call my record deck grip. I just use my left hand lightly on the rim whilst using the spoon with the other. I wasn't even concious of it. It never gets hot either so I dunno why people are using silicone mitts or tea towels.

[@brendarobertson7206]

Sam! You are set on medium settings! You need to hit Saute and Pressure cook buttons 3 times to get to high, that little bar will be lit up on the third spot. I also found this out the hard way.

[@manong4328]

Step by to say a big thank you! Received family, grandchildren, made your Mac N Cheese with bacon on top. Huge success. Was a side dish for smoked chicken thighs (jalapeño/ cream cheese inside) wrapped with bacon. I can die happy. 💕

[@rw9495]

Also! Believe it or not, pressure cooking rice actually works better than using the rice button. It helps to soak the rice for ~20mins but you don't have to. Pressure cook it on high for 3 minutes, then wait 10 minutes to release the pressure so the rice can absorb all the water. I get compliments all the time that my rice is the best they've ever eaten, that's how I do it :)

[@johnmp1470]

been doing this based on your comment and damn you're right, almost always perfect rice. the only times it's gone wrong is when i get the rice to water/broth ratio wrong, it seems like it's 1:1 when you're cooking half a cup of rice or less, but with more rice you need a slightly higher ratio of liquid. still figuring it out haha

[@elaineredner6546]

Great idea - the other thing...I tripped on "parboiled" rice a few years ago...haven't used anything else since.

[@silvergirl7810]

I’ll try this- thanks

[@katieb1836]

Do you use 1:1 rice to liquid ratio? I'm anxious to try this. Thanks

[@jules11788]

Hey Sam, with the chicken not browning as well when compared with the short ribs, it's because the chicken was diced into small pieces. When there is a lot of surface area of the meat being exposed like that, it tends to seep out more liquid during the cooking process, which prevents good browning. The short ribs browned up nicely because they were just big solid pieces. If you had just put one whole chicken breast in there and let it sit for a couple minutes and then flipped it, then you would have gotten better browning.

[@bonniepwtf]

Plus there are 3 different temperature settings for sauté & it looked like it was set to low.

[@steverouleau8642]

I totally agree with you

[@orbtastic]

@@bonniepwtf I noticed that. Even on low my sauté setting is a beast and it often causes things to stick/burn. Another thing I've noticed is that it absolutely HATES tomato sauce when pressure cooking, 9/10 it will switch off and warn it's burning when it's not. I think it's the consistency/thickness. I stick to saute for browning/cooking and slow cook when using a tomato base.

[@grahaaam123]

@@orbtastic I have this exact same thing, still trying to master the instant pot. I've been making a similar jambalaya version and run into issues of it warning about burning. I usually Saute it all first maybe it's too hot to begin with before the pressure cook.

[@OneOut1]

Don't force evacuation with meat in the recipe. Force evacuation raises the temp above boiling and ruins your plans for whatever meat you are cooking.

[@JewManGuru]

Hey Sam. Great recipes. One thing with the instant pot I recently learned. When you hit sauté you can use the adjust button to select between low, medium and high essentially. The default is medium. So to brown a bit better you can adjust to high which is hotter.

[@bravejango12]

It would also help if he waited until it said HOT instead of ON.

[@pesto12601]

The IP still doesn't get uniformly hot anyway... the oil falls to the sides and things stick in the center poor design.

[@pesto12601]

@FIIK Yeah.. I agree.. it is strange - because sometimes - it works really well... other times - it fails miserably to get hot enough. It also cools down VERY fast once you add a protein to sear... and, unlike a pan on the stove, doesn't pop back up to temp very fast thus liquids come out and then you can forget a strong sear.. By the way - it is InstanTpot.... they blew a marketing oppo by adding in the "T".. everyone calls it the instapot instead... but that is incorrect.

[@fredziffle5219]

👍thanks, good to know about browning, I hate extra pans to clean.

[@enigmalfidelity]

@@bravejango12 Incorrect. If you see the "HOT" warning, your element has become TOO hot.

Love this channel! The short rib Raghu was absolutely insane! I changed up the recipe a bit. Added some liquid smoke and some fresh chopped chives, omitted the red pepper flakes but followed your video precisely otherwise. The meat fell off the bone. It shredded easier than any short rib I have slow smoked or Dutch oven cooked. Fantastic! I’m going to try the 3 cheese Mac and cheese with truffle oil next. You’re my cooking hero!

I got an instant pot for Christmas a few years ago and I almost never use it. I thought a Sam the Cooking Guy video would give me some inspiration, but honestly, I'd still much rather make all those dishes the normal way. Well, maybe the short ribs. It's just not that important to be to make things super fast. And when you factor in the time for the pressure to build up, it's usually not that fast anyway.

[@JerryPemberton]

One thing about the Instant Pot is that it will have a hot spot during the sautee process. Whenever I'm browning something, I make sure to give the inner pot a quarter turn or so when mixing the food around inside of it. If you don't do that, you risk scorching the bit of food that is over the hot spot, but also the inner pot and then you will have a burny taste to the food when it is all done cooking, and nobody wants that.

[@davidhaynes9580]

Best tip I use for my IP is take the insert out and just sear on the stove with it. Gets way hotter faster.

[@Kayenne54]

Sounds like a design fault. Company should look into that before all their appliances end up in landfill and something far better from another company outsells them.

Wow! Looks great! Thanks for the Instant Pot recipes.

[@jeand2219]

I always hit the “keep warm” button which turns it off. It prevents a burn error. For pasta, I let it natural release for 5-10 min. to prevent starch water blowing out of the pot. If you press the soup button when you’re finished cooking, it begins to boil and then I add my slurry.

[@xsw882]

for which recipe would u hit the soup button? and u mean turn off the keep warm mode and turn on soup mode right?

[@jeand2219]

@@xsw882 Yes, I shut the “keep warm” off (always). I’ve gotten too many burn errors. Any time my food needs thickening (soups, gravy or anything), I turn off the Instant Pot and press the soup button. It boils real fast and then I add my slurry. If it boils too much, I turn on sauté snd finish thickening. Hope this answers your questions.

Cooking with instant pot is amazing. Since instant pot traps all the liquid inside, the sauce inside normally will not be as thick as cooking in stove. Therefore, water/liquid added should be lesser if normal stove recipe is used.

a paraphrase of what i posted yesterday: totally agree with your comment re: the pot is too small for browning, too crowded. i have an electric pressure cooker (basically does the same thing, but far cheaper-i've had this thing since before insta pot was a thing) what i do is brown, deglaze and sautee in cast iron and transfer to the pot for the pressure cooking or, if i have time, to a crock pot for a slow braise (which i do think does a better job) these all look great! thanks!

[@timhoovermusicman]

I got a 10 quart electric pressure cooker 3 years ago, I use it a lot. I also agree about the crock pot.

[@Threedog1963]

Sam did mention the issue with the browning. He said it defeats the purpose of (an all in one) cook in the instant pot to use a second cooking vessel. I agree to your point, sear the meat in cast iron, leave the pressure cooker to do what it's intended to do... pressure cook.

[@TruthSeekerNC]

I'm so glad you did this. I need to learn to use my pressure cooker better. I'm definitely trying these!

Excellent!! More of this instant pot content please!

First time watching and knew I was going to subscribe but when you picked up the chihuahua I knew I had to turn on notifications 🙂

[@NubianP6]

Another good reason to make sure that you always deglaze is to avoid getting the dreaded “burn” notice. Also, for those who may not know, the sauté feature has different temps, so maybe you had it on low?

[@patrickmcclintock7027]

I really liked this one. I don’t even have an instant pot but I got a dutch oven and a stove! Them short ribs… 🤤

[@the_trevoir]

Great! I’ve been trying to decide whether to get an instantpot pretty much since they can out. This helps.

[@yrrndbeachbum]

Hey Sam, love these recipes - can’t wait to try them myself! Pro Tip: did you know the lid to the Instant Pot fits into the side and holds it for you? That way you don’t have to find counter space and it drips into the ring of the pot, too! My mind was blown when I found out lol

I just bought the instant pot pro model. It is an improvement from the older version. The pot has silicone handles and a flat bottom that makes it useful for the stove top including convection stoves. So far I love it

[@quix66hiya22]

What do you mean about the flat bottom and about the stove top? I have an older model to replace a very old model so I also wonder how it’s improved. I might be persuaded!

[@joeszymanski6936]

@@quix66hiya22 the bottom of the pot is flat and thick so you can use it on a stove and has silicone handles that make it easier to remove from the instant pot. Very handy feature.

I have an instapot too and this will be a great boon for me. Thanks Sam! Gonna try that ragu this Saturday. I also hate the instapot's browning as it doesnt seem to do a lot imo. So what I do is I take that pot out and pop it on an induction stove (well my actual stove is actually induction so) and sautee/brown it there

[@jocelynmstanton]

Thanks for the tip!

[@themagicknightress7132]

I find the sauté function makes the brown parts stick to the bottom of the pan too much. Maybe I just need more lubricant…

[@raymondu99]

@@themagicknightress7132 isn’t that normal though? I mean it’s like cooking in a regular steel pan, you get a caramelized fond which you then deglaze so it infuses into your liquid

[@jmeist25]

Great video. Tip: for keeping the pot from moving around, get a large binder clip. And it won’t move. Ribs, you gotta try just cooking them in apple juice. So simple and delicious. Cover the ribs in apple juice, cook, take out, rub on BBQ sauce, broil, and done. Mac and Cheese. I like to add a lil cream cheese to make it extra creamy.

We had an instapot once. I was making pinto beans and it blew the seal out. Never in my wildest dreams do I ever think I'd have to mop beans off the ceiling. And that was no easy task, as we have vaulted ceilings in my kitchen. So I had to use a 6 ft extension ladder to get the job done. However, I do have to say that we were lucky that my wife, kids, and all of our pets were not in the room at the time.

[@JahyMoonwalker]

When I was a young soldier in training my instructor asked the class if anyone had ever blown a seal.. When someone said "yes" he replied "don't the flippers get in the way?"

[@franknbeans3651]

@@JahyMoonwalker Hahahahahaha 🤣

[@LazykidsWorld]

I think that the pets might have helped clean up whatever was dripping down from the ceiling 🐶

[@ChrisPBacone]

I been using an instapot for 3 years since day 1 on infomercial launch i have multiple pots lids sealing lids glass lids air fryer lids multiple insert pots ..... Science states there is no way you blew up your pot and spewed beans up a vaulted sealing I call your shenanigans Frank and Beans no way no way it blew up a ceiling up even if you didn't lock it down by twisting the top to sealing position it won't come to pressure cause steam escapes from a non seal ......

[@franknbeans3651]

@@ChrisPBacone Oh but it did. That plasticy seal pushed out the side of the lid. It allowed the beans to spray all over the light fixture, all over the refrigerator, all over the cabinet above the refrigerator, all over the island, and all over the floor. It was a mess for sure. I had to clean beans off the top of the refrigerator!
