I was so afraid of that thing. Me and my dog hid behind a wall so if it blew up we didn't get hit. It never blew up :) Love it now. Easy clean up.

[@cheframaandchefanita]

We also had that thought before, but we're so happy we have our Instant Pot! We have an Instant Pot course coming in the next 2 months. If you are interested, you can check it out!

[@edaycock6255]

Did the quinoa for a minute (first time ever cooking it period, let alone in an Instant Pot) and used vegetable broth stead of water. Wow!

[@alynawatersmusic]

I love my IP and it's super awesome! Don't add salt to your beans as it'll break skins. Also, if you do soak them overnight or while you're at work then it only takes 6-8 minutes at pressure!!! (Depending on altitude) CRAZY FAST!

[@EdgyVeg]

GREAT tips!

[@savannasweeting2207]

My rice cooker just broke, and you totally convinced me to buy this rather than replace the cooker. Thank you for this! Love the direction your channel is headed!

[@tbd]

your abs are legit goals. 😍 i still haven't used my Instant Pot so this vid is going in my bookmarks.

[@EdgyVeg]

Yay!!!!! Thanks thanks!

[@neilsonsarify]

I always just put 3 cups water:1 cup beans! Seems to work for me! Love the instant pot, thanks for the video!

[@justababsy465]

Great tips, thank you! I love mine for beans, rice, quinoa, veggie soups and stews. I haven't tried the steamed potatoes but will definitely give that a shot.

[@LeilaniOutspoken]

More videos like this please, we love you!!! Very helpful!

[@debbiewolfe9621]

Excellent!!! I am soooo happy with your new style of videos! The ole 'ditsy thing' didn't work for me, but LOVE the information you share all the time! BIG THANK-YOU!!

[@kristy012]

super random. but i was struggling to find the motivation to hit the gym this morning. i clicked on this video and seeing your 11 abs kicked my butt into gear and now im headed to the gym. thanks Candice.

[@EdgyVeg]

Hahah stahhhhhhhppppppp

[@ADVBear]

I've just bought the Kitchen Aid coffee grinder because of your other video, and I think I'll have to buy the Instant Pot also.

[@kathylinaker4869]

Thank you. Waiting for my pot to arrive today. Can't wait. Your simple instructions are very much appreciated. Thanks so much!

[@TC-by3qc]

This was really helpful. Love having all the basics in one spot:)

[@nunyanunyalso7755]

Ok you just sold me on the instant pot. Now I absolutely must hv one!

[@KitchenShaman]

I just got an instant pot. I’m seriously excited about the quinoa! Thank you for sharing recipes for this appliance!

[@GG-yy4yx]

Loved this!

[@LL91g]

A million freaken times thank you!!!!!! I got this for xmas this year and I just learned how to make the perfect white rice. I still need to perfect brown rice though...

[@themodernhippy]

1 cup brown rice, 1.5 cups broth (or water) .5 tsp salt. Manual for 22 minutes, let naturally release. ❤

[@kimmyjeans2]

YES!!! Loved it would love to see more food in an instant pot please

[@annahollis8846]

I got one for Xmas last year and haven't used it yet. I appreciate the tip on steaming potatoes-I will definitely try that!

[@denicekimberly3255]

Also really good and so easy in the instant pot is steel cut oats. Normally a bit of a pain on the stovetop but quick, easy and so creamy in the IP. I got a 6 quart on Black Friday and I’m planning to get a 3 quart as well. That way when I make something like Mexican beans or a curry or whatever in the big one I can also be making the rice in the little dude.

[@mandime4798]

Oh, that's genius. I've been using 2 inner pots, but one thing gets a bit cold while the other cooks unless I put it in a warm oven. Oven and summer do not mix.

[@mrjenn]

Most helpful video ever!

[@marionsgray]

Bought one this past Christmas and still haven't used it yet. Thanks for sharing

[@RheRheSmily]

Have you tried it yet?

[@Penelope416]

I need an Instant Pot, pronto! I always thought that I would never need one and the buttons on it looked so confusing. So I gotta do my research on different ways to use it! Thanks for the vid.

[@hamandcheesedandwich]

I'm getting this for Christmas, so my meal prep game is going to become next level! 😂

[@jamtaylor1992]

[@MG-sx8gw]

Thank you for using this version of the instant pot. Literally every other video/instruction tells me to adjust the pressure which I can't do on mine!!

[@cakesKC]

I miss your what you eat in a day videos really helped me out when I was a noob vegan

[@stephanielovestico]

omg my mind is blown!! please make a video with ip recipes cuz you know I'm buying one!!

Love my IP. Learning curve may vary for folks. Keep experimenting and soon you are a pro. Bon appetit!

[@reva510]

Thank you for the tips. I bought the big instant pot for Black Friday and I’ve been scared to use it because I burned the quinoa the first time I used it 😄 your video helps a lot!

[@EliMenendez]

More instant pot recipes please!

[@jenwylie4093]

I was given an old style pressure cooker. I didn't think I would use it, but I discovered how to cook beans without soaking. It was a game changer! My freezer is full of chickpeas right now. :-)

[@kalamatajane]

Hi, Candice! If I'm a vegan living alone and want to do meal prep... would you reccommend a 6 quart or 8 quart instant pot?

[@adriandaniels1]

Giiiirl, what do you do for your work outs!?

[@lorrainef.3213]

Love those bowls - can I ask where they're from? TIA

[@jeanlaflamme7099]

Thanks for your videos. I'm actually shopping for a pressure cooke vs. The one pot Cooker. Like all terrain skis that are ok on all terrains but do none particularly well, I'm thinking the same for the one pot. It will do 7 to10 things, I.e. Yogurts, rice cooker, pressure cooker, but none outstandingly well. Would love to have thoughts on this. Cooking is a hobby and I cook 30 to 40 hours a week (plant base). I need my kitchen tools to be the absolute best. Would love to hears from long time avid one pot users.

[@SnowWhite1352]

Jean Laflamme I have made yogurt, rice, beans and grains, slow cooked, browned, sautéed and even done a small cake. Ok the cake was soggy. But the rest was all great. It’s worth the investment.

[@17jwill]

More instant pot videos!!

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Thanks for the great Instant Pot tips! Also, your abs are inspiring!

[@janellenicolette5922]

Can you use the pressure cooker for homemade seitan too? If so how long & how much water to use? Thanks for the tips! Love it

[@mandime4798]

Yes you can, recipes are easy to find depending of if you're making it a large roast, chunks, or like a sausage

[@idnumber002]

ONE (1) minute for quinoa?! Which world am I in?!

[@mandime4798]

It's insane but totally works. I couldn't believe it either. Granted it takes 15-25 minutes for it to total heat up and then release pressure. Still, damn.

[@mandime4798]

@Broken Winged Phoenix Yes but I don't have to babysit it like I do on the stove. It helps me multitask dinner and end of summer crazy kiddos.

[@ryan2flyin]

Dude I was on that same thing. Like what in the world is this real!?

[@alwaysknownas885]

my pot is in use at the moment cooking chicpeas but as soon as they are done I'm going to try cooking quinoa this way because even after reading the comments I still dont really believe it will work lol

What does the apple cider vinegar do for beans

[@Crystal_m11]

What brand of brown rice do you buy?

[@thelifeofsam2687]

Do you have to poke holes in the potatoes? New to your channel and I love it btw. Thanks for all the tips. I recently switched to vegan and your pantry video was basically my grocery list.

[@ashmma5193]

The Life of Sam I think its similar to cooking potatoes in the microwave where if you dont poke it, it could burst.

[@guatonaaa]

can you make a recipe video on making meals only using the instant pot? :)

[@jackiebarber1793]

Where did you get that shirt? You look amazing. :)

[@rockinvegan1765]

If you put Qunioa or oatmeal directly into a stainless steel or glass jar and put this in the Instant Pot, you can eat directly from it without refilling. For example, with this method lentils can be placed directly in the refrigerator without refilling after cooking. It's a little easier.

[@kingsdaughter777]

Great video. Very helpful and to the point. One thing is that we should never let any aluminum come in contact with our food or water as we want to keep our brain cells. Thanks for your work. great job

[@ashmma5193]

Nykole Sather Ive been wrapping food in aluminum foil since I was a baby... lol. Hasn’t eroded my brain cells.

[@kellydenmeade2504]

thanks, are you sealing as you cook or keeping the valve open?

[@EdgyVeg]

always sealing! :)

[@NZ_based_hiker]

Is instant pot better than other multicooker like Phillips one when it comes to Vegan cooking like lentil, beans etc.?

[@EdgyVeg]

It's definitely my preference!

[@wheelyb26]

how many mil's of water is 1 cup ? thanks : )

[@Devenscards]

Hope to see some more videos with John!!! Great stuff, glad i found your channel

Sucks at rice. Keep your rice cooker.

What size is your instant pot?

[@Leah-xv3zf]

Hi 💖 what quart size is your instant pot?

[@mandime4798]

It looks like the 6 qt.

[@vivianrios6007]

Don't you tell me that you don't have to soak the beans overnight!!!! OMG, I am dying to buy mine's, it's like throwing out your stove.👍😊

[@1auntievenom]

You really do not need a stove if you have an instant pot.

[@JohnRush]

So you’re telling me if I bought ten of these I could basically make all my meals for a day and never have to actually cook again?? 🤔

[@EdgyVeg]

do you eat ten meals a day?

A 6 qt instant pot can make a large dinner for five at my house with some spare, or over a pound of dry rice to meal prep. Hopefully that helps to know.

These aren't hacks they're just recipes or instructions. You didn't hack your instant pot, you just used it.

[@eveemcghee4454]

I don't think it was ever meant to hack the instant pot. I think they're every day cooking hacks USING an instant pot :)

[@animalcookiemonsterTV]

Good morning 😍 hold on I have a question, but am currently trying not to fall in love with you..... Ok ok I think I've collected myself enough just don't look me in the eyes or I'm fucked.... But anyway my question about cooking the beans. Shouldn't we be soaking the beans and draining and rinsing that water away before putting it in the insta pot?? What about phytic acid?? Doesn't soaking reduce a lot of this?

[@oldyellersghost]

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat their dog. I guess I’ll be going now too. Bad vegan channel. Bad.
