Go Giants, too! So, it took 25 minutes for the corn. Yes, it does seem long, but I doubt you could cook that much corn on the stove in 25 mins. Even if you could, you’d be standing close by at least, to watch the pot. You’d still have to wait for the water to boil, before the corn could be put in, unless you did it when you filled the pot with water. But, the time would take just as long, if not longer. Yes, the steam needs to be released, but in this case, I believe you were able to do a quick release, which is much faster. I didn’t hear any complaints about the knob moving to a different setting, because it’s too sensitive, as many have said. So, maybe that problem is overstated. Plus, when the weather heats up, no one wants to stand over a hot stove or turn on their oven, especially when the AC is running full blast. All in all, I think an IP will be a good investment. Please update as time goes by and show us some new recipes or tips and tricks, you’ve learned. Good video!

[@SonofDarnell]

Amazing and thorough review! This guy is so good!

[@cannedheat300]

Thanks for the tutorial. I've been using an Aroma multi-purpose rice cooker x 10 yrs but rice cookers x 20 yr [before the instant pot craze] so it's like going from a Toyota Camry to an Infinity; both are quality products, but the IP has more built-in features that I wanted to try. I can use the tools and steamer baskets from my Aroma-- I'm keeping both for use. Actually, I bought the Ultra 60 just 2 days ago 4/16/18 (using it today 4/18/18) for the same price of $149.00 via Amazon. I signed up for a Prime Amazon store card and got a $60 gift card, which I applied to this purchase. You did nothing wrong, and you didn't miss out on a deal. I'm on Amazon like 2 days/week comparing and checking prices against Ebay, Walmart, Target, Kohl's and a general Google search -- you get the picture. This is the top model although there is an 8 qt oval shaped model that's 10 in 1 for the same price and available at Walmart. Walmart is out of stock on the Ultra 60 so its cost is relative to Supply & Demand principles.

[@cannedheat300]

In total, I paid $105 including the 3-yr service plan b/c I opened a Amazon Prime store card ($60 ) plus had an extra $6 gift card balance. I then returned the IP Lux 30 edition, 6Qt to Walmart for a total refund of $94.10 [includes $7 x 2 yr Asurion plan]. Amazon & Walmart had the same prices $79 Lux30, 6 qt & $149 Ultra 6 qt, but the svc plan was cheaper and longer on Amazon.

[@ancamg]

Maybe you figured it out, but especially for the steam menu it helps if you use hot tap water. And, yes broccoli can be done in 0 minutes (IP). I also cook broccoli in the microwave (in one Lekue silicone steamer). In 2-3 minutes it is ready. Honestly it's much quicker than with my IP.

[@carolynjordan4633]

funny when your bird was chripping our bird was to heah keep up the good work i like to watch your videos i got and aultra pot for christmas last year ND IM AFRAID TO USE it'But heah great job on your videos '

[@mosilver1572]

I am glad that you got a pressure cooker, I want to see a lot of ideas from you. I've always loved my crock pot, but I haven't used it since I got the pressure cooker. One of my favorites is corn on the cob, like you did. I use the frozen kind, and put them in (still frozen) for ten minutes, it's great. Probably doesn't take that long, but they don't overcook. I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas and recipes! Maybe do a roast or something. I think it actually turns out better than in an oven or crockpot. Also, steaming hot dogs is easy, and they turn out great also.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! It will definitely be fun trying to figure this thing out!

[@steelcrazy23]

Wow! Nice! I’m making yogurt as I’m typing this. Last night we made the roast from the recipe booklet-came out excellent! There’s definitely a learning curve, but it’s fun. Happy IP-ing!!!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Yeah, I'm still figuring mine out as well but the food usually turns out good!

[@steelcrazy23]

Yay, Tim! I got it! The steam release valve wasn’t on right! Whew! I was hoping I hadn’t gotten a lemon. Can’t wait to cook now!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

I'm glad you figured it out! :)

[@johnmanzo9329]

Thanks Jim and Go!!! 9ers!!!

[@Juanelo1946]

Jim, congratulations on your new pressure cooker! That has happened to me a couple of times where I buy a device on amazon and then notice the price drops a few days later. The corn looked delish!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! Yeah, it's kind of frustrating when you buy something and it goes on sale right after!

[@rgescalona6368]

Yay about time. I can't wait to see what your going to come up with this. I'm always looking for new recipes.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks!

[@samsacre]

30 bucks that's a lot of potatoes! LOL great video! I do boiled eggs in mine and they come out wonderful soft or hard however you like! Big thumbs up buddy!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

That is a lot of potatoes! LOL This will be fun to figure out!

[@Jaydit7]

Good for you, buying an Instant Pot! I have a Duo-60 that I adore for cooking dried beans and making soup stocks (mostly) I also do a killer BBQ chicken and a good Cabbage Soup (on the Slow Cooker setting). This takes a while to determine cooking times for various dishes and food, but I think it's well worth the cost. **By the way, if the price dropped that much while your IPot was on order, I'd call Amazon and try to haggle the cost down. They have done that for me on some Houseware/Cookware items, in the past. It might be worth a try**

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! It will definitely be fun to play with and try to figure out!

[@Jaydit7]

There are many KZbin channels devoted to the Instant Pot......check out a few if you have time. They helped me when I started out.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Okay thanks!

[@sakurasu907]

Love the bird! lol . Thank you for sharing. I have the regular, first generation version. The Ultra is nice! =)

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks!

[@gerard9128]

welcome to club bud have to join the instant pot community, corn comes out great if you do mannual high 3 min only need 1 cup water warm and set .Info use warm or hot water on sauta mode to heat quickly jerry

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@healthandwellness6312]

I bought a Hamilton Beach from Menards has low medium high setting cooks up to 8 hours paid only $40 on sale works great.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Nice! They're getting cheaper.

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

I love using an electric pressure cooker. Look forward to seeing you post more pressure cooker meals. Corn always turns out perfect in the PC. Thanks for sharing😃

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! We'll see what I can figure out! :)

[@lorell1988]

lol omg thank you for your video I put 2:00 thinking it was 2 minutes, you definitely educated me 😂. BTW your hilarious love the video!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thank you!

[@obrain75]

The Earny app will check Amazon for price reductions. It works great!

[@sunshinetsb1]

I got mine this weekend off Kohl’s for $103 shipped. That was huge saving. Got for price of duo plus.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

That's great!

[@jeremycatches9766]

Corn on the cob is to easy and good when prepared in the microwave. I only takes like 2 to 4 minutes and you don't even need a pot.

[@tomsinclair4977]

I got the Ultra to replace my Duo. My main complaint with the old one was that I couldn't see the controls. (Plus it took several falls and bits were getting broken. Not its fault...) Anyway, the Ultra fixes that one problem, adds a bunch of new features. All the accessories for the old IP fit the Ultra, too.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

I like this ultra a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@bairdfulghum1763]

I notice that the one piece of corn near the top(farther from water) was still very yellow, while ears underneath were whiter, more blanched out.I wonder if the top ear didn't get as much heat as bottom ears ?....

[@toypocalypsenow]

I've always been curios about pressure cookers. Supposedly they are the bomb for making pasta sauce and stuff.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

I guess I'll find out!

[@morehumorehu4861]

Andy cooks food, " the BOMB " lol, watch out for the ' Men in Black ' on terror alert for 'over zealous pressure cookers'

[@steelcrazy23]

Thanks Tim. I’ll give it another (3rd or 4th) try!

[@CookingwithRick]

Cool pressure cooker Jim corn turned out great, welcome to the club buddy.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks Rick! It should be fun!

[@mcomeslast]

This is on my list to get. There are plenty of Facebook groups for the IP too.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

I might have to check those out!

[@jameswoods6900]

You should have returned it to Amazon and reordered?

[@thomastommy1192]

eBay is always cheaper than Amazon. You most likely could of found it cheaper at Walmart on line. It's always a pain trying to buy anything. And you always find it cheaper later on, lol. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@samsacre]

Thomas T hey You're right on! in our state Amazon tacking tax on everything!!

[@truthhurtz2793]

At Walmart.com they are $269 !!! Cheapest one on Ebay was $ 167.91

[@babsphillips9263]

In my experience, it's RARE that eBay is less. Amazon consistently has been cheaper.

[@Albertojedi]

Mealthy Multipot pressure cooker is the Queen.

[@mattpike7268]

I just got one for $49 at walmart for black friday! Mine is the lux model, its a trim level or 2 below yours, I've been playing with it all day lol.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Cool! That sounds like a good deal!

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Nice channel you have here. Will have to check more in depth tonight. )

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thank you!

[@lemoncrinckles]

Okay, it was, "So let's get toastin"., and "Let's get crockin.". What's it going to be for the Instapot? (:

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Hmm...I'm sure some dumb thing will pop into my head. LOL

[@TheRVANDY9]

I wish i'd have bought the Ultra, but i 'just' purchased the new DUO 80, 1200 WATTS. It's very nice, but it's hard to figure out the cooking times, because the others are all 1000 watts. Wash your corn on the cobb, tender? Please let me know. I've always just used 1 cup of water. I was told if 10 minutes or less, use 1 cup, 11 minutes or more, use 2 cups of liquid?? Who knows, tho. GREAT VIDEO.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

The corn was good. I guess I only needed 1 cup of water but it turned out fine. So far, everything I've cooked in this has turned out good. Thanks for commenting!

[@drewcarr1]

Great videos as always...thanks for introducing me to the toaster oven a few yrs back..i luv it!!!.. my next appliance i want to buy is an air fryer..they seem kool!!! By the way nice pressure cooker..i might get one of those too..

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! Yeah, I've seen a few people using those air fryers.

[@mosilver1572]

If your toaster oven has a convection feature, it will be the same as an air fryer. I was thinking about getting one, then realized it wouldn't do anything different.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Might as well just use my toaster oven then. This one has convection.

[@drewcarr1]

TosTinMan EasyCooking i think i will get a new toster oven with convection..this one is kind of old..thanks for the info MO silver......

[@drewcarr1]

TosTinMan EasyCooking i think i will get a new toster oven with convection..this one is kind of old..thanks for the info MO silver......

[@jellybryce7742]

I want to get a pressure cooker becaues I see people making those beef short ribs recipes. Can't wait for the vids.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm excited to see what it will do!

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

Jelly Bryce : Cooking beef short ribs is one of the two main reasons that I purchased my IP Ultra80. I have only had my Instant Pot for a short time but, I hope to do some short ribs in the very near future.

[@gloriaforzaglia982]

You'll get your money's worth using it. Don't worry. Thanks for your video.

[@MrRdbrig]

I been watching several videos of this and saw a setting for turning off the auto warm setting in the beginning when you're setting it up

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Yeah, you can turn that off if you want to.

[@TheJleliot]

How do you know how long to cook things? Next time you should probably unplug machine from wall before taking out unsides

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

The book that comes with it gives you approximate cooking times for some things but I think for other things it's just trial and error.

[@mosilver1572]

I have a different brand (Power Pressure Cooker XL, like seen on the infomercials), not many instructions there either. Trial and Error, but I really haven't had many errors. Those things cook so fast, it is hard to believe. I always add time, and they still don't overcook, as far as meat goes. Like Jim said, you can steam the brocolli too long, vegetables are a little trickier. But for meat, potatoes, carrots, you really can't go wrong.

[@steelcrazy23]

I just got mine at Kohl’s for$89! I had a 20% off coupon, and when I got to the register I saved another 30% by opening a Kohl’s credit card!!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Wow! Great deal!

[@momfromnj911]

Ginnie Levine mine was on sale at kohls from 179.00 down to 149.00.. Had 30% off plus an additional 10% off paid 104.84 plus got $10.00 in Kohls bucks.. So got it really for $$94.00.. A effing steal!!! Can't wait to break it out!!

[@teresawilson3316]

You are still lucky. Here in Canada I paid $250.00 I looked all over and every time it was sold out

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Wow! I guess I won't complain then! :)

[@user-li9jo5lg8e]

I recently bought the same model. Is preheating included the cooking time ?

[@sharonbetcher5063]

no,, about about 10 min. Beginning & 10 min at the end, add 20 min to your cook time

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

Nice

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

This thing is pretty neat!

[@rgruenhaus]

Too bad you didn't call Amazon when you saw the price change. With their own products they will match prices if you call them on it.

[@1946pepper]

send it back

[@pauladams1112]

I'm new to Your channel what is to tin man stand for

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

The TOS Stands for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. It's my disability. It makes me pretty tight and stiff, like a tin man. I started out making videos about that, and still do on my other channel, so I just used the same name when I started this cooking channel.

[@mosilver1572]

I thought it had to do with toaster oven man!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

A lot of people think that so that's fine with me. :)

[@steelcrazy23]

Now if only I can get it past preheating when I try to steam! Followed your instructions, but so far to no avail!!!😢

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

The preheat usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

[@netcub70]

For Broccoli, Use 0 minutes and quick release.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks for the tip! I'm still figuring this thing out! :)

[@rcole6679]

Wait. Zero minutes? Are you saying broccoli would cook in less than one minute? Four may be too long, but I’d think a couple of minutes would be needed at least. More details, please.

[@Trivergal]

Zero minutes is correct. It gets up to SUPER hot steam temp and then shuts off. Give it a try... it worked for me!

[@toypocalypsenow]

I just realized I told you pressure cookers are the bomb. So you'll probably get your ad taken away on this video. Lol

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

LOL

[@shokid95]

Hey what size is that instant pot

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

6 Quart.

[@shokid95]

TosTinMan EasyCooking awesome thank yiu check QVC some times they have sales on them

[@Snoogleheimer]

25 minutes to cook corn on the cob in a pressure cooker? Boy, that just doesn't sound right.

[@casey6518]

If you had called Amazon, they would have matched the price within 30 days...

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks for the tip! Next time I'll do that.

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

Casey good to know! Thanks

[@gloria-Sofia]

It’s not normal to see steem after 10 min..

[@ChrisM0678]

You should order the $119 one and then when it arrives just ask for a full refund on the $150 one and send the new one back.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

I found out it was only a 1 day sale so the price went back up.

[@rcole6679]

Darn!

[@TMKJG24]

i deliver for amazon always see these now i can get more info and buy me one lmao

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

There ya go! :)

[@trumanphan1770]

YERBA MATE YERBA MATE YERBA MATE YERBA MATE

[@lollylollypop3626]

You only need one cup of water to cook that corn. That will substantially cut down on the time the pot takes to come to pressure. I'm not sure why you made a video for this when you are a newbie with the appliance. Come back in a couple of months when you have actual experience.oh, broccoli is 1cup of water, put the broccoli on the trivet or in a strainer, cook 1 minute on high (crunchy broccoli peeps cook 0 minutes and release the pressure immediately).

[@rcole6679]

Woah! Cool down! He was excited to show his new toy and yes, I do hope he comes back with some tips etc. I though the 3 cups was overkill too, but, the corn looked great. I’m not sure you’re right about the less time to cook with less water. IP customer service told me that the pressure will increase faster with more volume of food and liquid in the pot, because there is less empty space. The pressure will increase faster, which will speed up the cooking, though the time will vary depending on the food your cooking.

[@rubentorres8593]

paid 50 bucks for this

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Great deal!

[@Giftedmike359]

Make baby back ribs :) come out well

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Sounds good! How long do you cook those?

[@Giftedmike359]

I think 15 minutes, then under the grill with some bbq sauce! Can smoke for an hour before hand too if you want to impart some flavour.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks!
