@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!🤗

[@lorip3136]

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😊

Thank you! Love both of those ideas!

[@HARPYRON]

Inside the pot while cooking?

@@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.

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.

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

You're so welcome! Glad this came in handy!

[@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.

[@pedrofernandez463]

I’m a new subscriber. Love this video !! Is it possible to see more instant pot recipes. Thanks

I just purchased an instant pot. It is an 8 Qt. Should I just increase the liquid amount by 1/2 cup? BTW this is a wonderful video for beginners such as myself. Thank you for showing these great methods.

[@tastyrecipesonabudget1689]

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 .

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

That sounds delicious too!

[@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

[@LLADYLUXZ]

[@cosmobane6995]

These look like gourmet depression food, that's why these are great.

[@DomDollx]

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!

[@kaedelynn]

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.

[@aliciadiaz131]

Any opinion on a thick frozen already seasoned piece of pork loin? Prior to instant pot I’d slow cook it, no liquid. Wondering how to do it best in the instant pot and whether to use slow cook or pressure cook option (temp, time...). Thx

[@riasinger1724]

Sorry probably a dumb Question but how do you dispose of the beef and fish water since they probably have grease? You can’t poor them down the sink right?

Does it have to be on high pressure or can it be on normal?

[@muddyfeetaussies]

Not gonna lie people been using pressure cookers for a long time to quick cook frozen.. once upon a time microwaves where not a thing. Insta pot is a quick slow cooker.. same idea.. but having a automated set it and forget it is very helpful.. pressure speeds up everything

[@Feelgoodfoodie]

Such a useful kitchen appliance for sure!

[@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!

Yes, it should work with turkey too! I'd have to experiment with the timing though.

[@sapat664]

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.

[@carmenrojas4469]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@tekkplays]

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.

[@conniepatrick89]

How do you get the smell out of the sealing ring?

After using the pot , remove sealing ring from lid , wash with regular dish soap and allow it to completely dry......everytime after use. Has worked for me😃
