[@booreed7813]

@jameswagstaff56 Same here! First instant pot arrived a few days ago. Have used pressure cooker since 1953! (89 yrs.) Am looking forward to learning the complexities of pre programable, ‘dinners in a pot!’ Have just now completed washing all parts….came to YT to take first lesson and Saints be Praised….this was first video that popped upon screen! So…..good luck to you and me! I’m hungry! Thank you to Feelgoodfoodie for this well planned, straight to point presentation!🤗

Thank you! I cook the Costco packs of 6-7lbs ground beef in a 7qt instant pot. I don’t even add water. Manual x30min. Then break up with a potato masher. I do this every week as I make homemade dog food for Great Danes. Turns out perfect everytime. Husband says it smells like roast when I cook it this way.

[@habituallearner7680]

You're a lifesaver! Everything is frozen including the ground beef. The restaurants and stores are closed for Christmas. I never even dreamed you could cook ground beef in the Instant Pot. You have saved our dinner for tonight and I suspect for many other nights.

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

So glad you found this helpful! Yay!!

[@eleanoreperry1231]

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

[@androsRoccha]

Thank you thank you for being quick, direct and practical! 🙏 Other channels think we buy those cookers cos we have all the time of the world to sit and watch their slow videos!!

Of all the instant pot videos I like this one. Direct to the point. Nothing fancy. As a bachelor. This is my go to

[@LoriP123]

Great video...not too long and straight to the point. I like to season my meats/fish before freezing just to save a step later when cooking. Also, I lay down a piece or parchment paper or aluminum foil directly overtop of the trivet for delicate foods like fish so that I don’t “lose” any when lifting up the trivet😊

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Thank you! Love both of those ideas!

[@HARPYRON]

Inside the pot while cooking?

[@LoriP123]

@@HARPYRON yes, directly overtop of the trivet just so that when I lift it up and out after cooking nothing falls out of it and back into the hot water inside the instant pot.

[@CrimFerret]

I cook frozen or mostly frozen chicken breasts in mine all the time. I always add carrots, celery, onion, and seasonings so I get a tasty soup. The breasts stay together, but shred or chop up easily for other dishes. As for frozen ground beef, I just thaw in the microwave which takes a few minutes max, and use it from there for whatever I planned to use it for. Often that means browning in a skillet which gives far more flavor and texture than steaming and is faster. This is a case where the Instant Pot really isn't the best tool for the job.

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Love those additions! The best method will definitely vary based on what recipe you'll be using the proteins in.

[@axelhasto6580]

yo if you like black beans, try 2 cups dried black beans, no soak needed, 3 cups water/stock, 2 frozen chicken thighs, spices whatever you want (save the salt for the end). manual setting for 35 mins. shred chicken when done and taste for salt adjustment

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

Okay, I gotta admit, I am enchanted by the possibilities of what an IP can do (cook my own yogurt to save $$? Yes, please.)...and I had wanted an IP to replace my slow cooker, just because a slow cooker is not as versatile. So my coworker got me one for an early birthday present. My adventurous side wants to dive in. My risk-averse side says "Master the skills you want to via the oven and stove first." In other words, I have a bit of an old school vs new school battle going on in my head. Plus, I have never used any kind of pressure cooker before at all. Not even the old ones. I was too young to use those when my parents had one, and they barely used theirs, so they gave it away. Enter the Instant Pot some decades later. Imagine my shock at what it can do. And despite my enthusiasm, I feel a little overwhelmed...because I'm also attempting to learn how to cook stuff via the oven and stove...and I don't have all the time in the world to learn everything as quickly as I would like...*sighs* I'm overthinking, I'm sure. But like I said, I feel like there's an old school vs new school battle in my head. 😔

Why didn't I know this sooner? GAME CHANGER!!! For the ground beef, does it matter how thick the block is?

[@dccd673]

Can foil be used to cover the trivet where the fish will sit? And how long does the chicken broth store in the fridge? Do you wait for it to cool down a bit before putting it in the jar and fridge?

[@jeannediehl2294]

I use a silicone trivet with feet to replace the trivet or a flat one with holes Iput on top of the trivet.

[@drakanize]

If you use aluminum foil don't recommend, but if you insisted poke holes to allow steam on all sides. He the rubber one asap

If you save the chicken stock, and then cook more chicken at a later date would you add the 2nd batch of stock in woth the first to use for later? Or would you add some celery/carrots/onions in the bottom of the trivet to make an actual broth to use for other dishes or soups? Thanks!

Yeah it was too bad about the water she could've indeed used it to make a sauce or maybe soup additionally even if she didn't add veggies it could've still been used as a base.

I pack my ground beef exactly like this. Sometimes i cook it half way ,enough to thaw, and then brown in the IP on sauté . I cook the pasta noodles with the sauce and ground beef sometimes too if I have enough sauce in the pot , I just add a little water, and make sure the noodles are covered, it works best with rigatoni or ziti noodles .

i just got a 6qt instant pot 11 in 1 with air fryer lid. Don't understand when you show and say to move the valve to sealing. I've not heard that before, and haven't seen it done. Is this part of the step for all cooking with pressure? Can you add the broth to the pot first and then put your meat on top of it? Or does the broth have be added afterward? Can you use some vegetable spray on the bottom of the pot before putting the meat in? I love the video. Perfect for a brand new owner. I've only done the water test, no food yet!

[@gerriebell2128]

Check your user manual for what it says about the sealing knob. Mine is the IP Ultra, and its sealing knob is supposed to be UP for seal, and you press it DOWN to release. There are differences.

[@noirrevolv5728]

Can this work on other frozen foods like, chicken nuggets and burger patties? I am interested in getting a slow cooker though.

[@PollyPlaysYT]

Question, can we let the instant pot natural release all of these recipes? Will it mess them up if we dont do a quick release like with the chicken you say natural for 5 mins then quick, can I just let it set? I like to prep the instat pot before going to pick up my hubby from work, and we eat when we get back home, if I have to stay to do the quick release I'd need other recipes.

[@yoyoleafs2237]

solid

[@KARENK1]

NEWBIE HERE😊-I’m still confused about something:if I am finishing up cooking my meat and do a quick release to add some cornstarch do I simply do a quick release and open the top add my cornstarch and click sauté? Or after the quick release do I have to cancel and then go to sauté?

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

This will depend on the model of your Instant Pot, but there should be no need to cancel first. Simply click saute and start cooking the chicken with the cornstarch without the lid. Hope that helps!
