Gorgeous!

[@geoffreyblackmer]

Pailin, tonight I made this for a party and it was a huuuuuge hit! I have only ever used Maesri before, but because of your curry paste comparison video and this one, I used 1.5 cans of curry and a heaping teaspoon of fermented shrimp paste to make up for the weakness. It was DIVINE!

[@angelat7745]

55 mins on high pressure for 3 lbs chuck. Sautéed potatoes and onion for 15 mins afterward. Served over white rice. OMG. Awesome!

[@geoffreyjalexandeify]

Omg yes!! I literally just opened the box for my instant pot just about 10 minutes ago. I know what I’m trying tonight! 😁

[@msg4925]

You won’t be sorry! I LOVE my Instant Pot!

[@parisz]

I really appreciate how clean everything around you is. Love from Germany!

[@timescales]

Awesome. I found this recipe on your website from a simple google search and then found this video. We made this and it came out excellent, thank you. We substituted Garam Masala for the seasonings when adding to the red curry paste and then just put soaked fresh tamarind in the pot. The only extra ingredient that results was a little bit of five spice which I could not detect.

[@Samikpop]

I love this dish and my mum makes it for my dad so many times. It’s so nice especially with potatoes. แม่หนูก็ชอบทำให้พ่อบ่อย มันอร่อยมาก

[@LePetitNuageGris]

Lol Adam’s wheezing laugh in the background killed me. I always love witnessing your dynamic together as part of things. I don’t have an Instant Pot. I just came for the recipe and to see any new tricks.😊 I have some thinly sliced beef chuck that I’m thinking I may use to make Massaman in the same way you used it for your yellow curry recipe. So I just wanted to see what you were doing here. Always love the recipes, and your fun personality (and all the mini implements). Keep ‘em coming!

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

lol thanks! :)

[@LePetitNuageGris]

@@AdamHotThaiKitchen No problem! I always giggle at the “One swell swoop” part of the quick Hainanese chicken rice video because of how much fun I can tell you’re having with it. I like those moments when you can barely hold your laughter. Haha I can tell you guys are good friends, and it’s heartwarming. :)

[@fatasleem2960]

I love your recipe, and the “semi” homemade massaman paste is absolutely GENIUS!!!! It’s cooking in the instant pot right now!

[@daenas]

I've had my IP for 2 years now, I have the 8qt and 3qt, and just love them. I cook my Thanksgiving turkey, 10lb, in my IP in less than 1hr and 30 minutes. My fave recipe is butter chicken (Makhani) but now I'll have to give this a try.

[@jefferynordgulen4436]

U can steam the potatoes in the microwave, I would have put the onion in with the beef. I did this for mother in law who is Kehmer she said "it good". But yummy in my tummy

[@notactuallymyrealname]

Love this recipe *so much*. It's one of like three things I make in my Instant Pot. FWIW, I accidentally did a quick release on it the last time I made it and it went fine, so there's anecdotal evidence that it won't explode. :) Gonna make it again tonight -- with bonus fresh coconut milk -- and put some portions in the freezer!

[@DebadooCreates]

Ohhhhh this made my mouth water!! It looks so good. My instant pot pressure release valve just turns rather than having to push it so a quick flip & your hand is out of the way in a quick release, although of course you don't want to do a quick release for this recipe. Love my instant pot. Can't wait to try this!!

[@SailorGolf]

Just like Julia Childs, I love the ‘it’s all ok’ - laugh at yourself attitude !! Fabulous !

[@earlystrings1]

I long ago consigned my instant pot to the garage as an $80 boat anchor, but will definitely make this awsome recipe in a regular pot. The semi homemade curry paste is genius.

[@zippity888]

I can’t believe it !!!! I’ve been putting this recipe put to the universe And bingo here it is ... just gotta convert to a pressure cooker which is huge .. anyhow thankyou !!

[@sagemoonchild333]

This came out amazing. Found massaman paste at the Asian market with some Chakoh coconut milk. I did sear the meat it in the instant pot. I have an 8quart pot so I was able to brown it in the pot because it’s larger. Followed this recipe verbatim and it was so much better than the restaurant.

[@poornabanerjee]

This looks like the perfect winter warmer!

[@meathead919]

Massman is one of my favorite dishes of all times. Fantastic food, its so addictive!

[@semutmerah1987]

i hope you taste Indonesian Rendang... and get the same feeling too...

[@irynapatzer3489]

This is absolutely delicious!!!! My husband ate it and enjoyed not knowing it is Thai!!! So, he ate it all. I have to cook it again!

[@robertvdhill367]

Made this last night, I don't have an instant pot so I stewed it regularly for 3 hours. It was SO good!

[@LauraMLFL]

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I didn’t want to make it with potatoes, so I just poured the beef and sauce over rice. I would definitely make this again. In fact, I am considering making up little plastic ziplock bags with pre-measured amounts of the “Massamanizing” spices to cut down on prep time. I also plan on trying this with chicken.

[@suegumban537]

I just received my first ever Instant Pot and made this for my first time cooking with ans IP! Hands down amazing. They whole family enjoyed this dish. I can't wait to try another one of your recipes. Thank you ❤

[@decadentspiral]

I made this and it was so good! Used a pressure cooker instead of a instant pot as that’s what I have. The beef was so tender and fell apart. Def recommend

[@tiamxiang]

Amazing! I used your recipe for Gaeng Hung Lay and cooked it in a pressure pot out of laziness. Worked really well.

[@semco72057]

I just want to say that I have finally put my Instant Pot to use and love it so much, but have not made that dish yet, but have tried other dishes similar to it and they tasted great. Boiling eggs is one of the main things I make in the pot and they come out perfectly using the attachment used to do that with inside the pot.

[@WHOMEWHOYOU]

I'm so LUCKY to come across your channel.......Love Thai Dishes and of course Massaman. Thanks for uploading this Great Recipe Massaman a Favorite Dish ! Love the Channel and will be back with a bowl an a fork..

[@ปฏิภาณกิติสาร]

สงสัยอยู่นานแล้วว่าหม้อแรงดันจะใช้งานกับพวกกะทิได้มั้ย สุดท้ายได้คำคอบแล้ว ขอบคุณสำหรับสูตรครับ

[@dawnrobbins5877]

I'm excited! Less time to prepare means more time to test new recipes! 😁

[@SweetandMellow999]

yay, finally you cooking this recipe in the IP! looks great!

[@reluctantartsy]

We’re still watching. Took my instapot out after 3 years of gathering dust, having never been used, and made this: incredible. Only thing I missed was the shrimp paste, but can easily get it for next time. Thank you.

[@Apocalypz]

Oddly, you gave me the perfect recipe for my kids as they don't enjoy cubed potatoes. Lovely recipe which I'll make in my pressure cooker. Thanks!

[@jonj8379]

Love your recipes, and like so many just got an instant pot and found you again with this recipe, you should do more instant pot recipes because many people got these for Christmas

[@meathead919]

Just ate my Massaman! Thanks to this channel for the inspiration, its mindbogglingly delicious!

[@valhallaholsopple]

I would probably cook the beef for 20 minutes. Do a quick pressure release. Then add the potatoes and onions and cook it for 10 more minutes. since the food is already up to temperature it will not take long for it to repressurise.

[@waltzie]

I just made this and it's the perfect "easy" recipe for massaman

[@abcdefgraham]

I got all the ingredients and made this.. It was AMAZING.

[@gradalamb704]

I love my instant pot almost daily use love this recipe will try it out. Please more instant pot Thai or Indonesian recipes.

[@triciat5085]

Asked Google Assistant on my Lenovo Smart Display for instant pot recipes on youtube and found this!! I'm gonna be trying this out tonight for sure

[@cartoonboi2]

Please Please Please more Instant Pot Recipes

[@tenboard]

I don't cook, but I love watching amazing dishes like this being made. I love massaman curry.

[@SandhyasKitchen]

OMG...I have been waiting for so long for you guys to get the Instant Pot! Looking forward to a lot more recipes!!

[@brandon3872]

I just made this today, and it was delicious! I pretty much followed it to the letter, although when adjusting the seasonings I decided to go heavy on the tamarind as I really like the taste. Delicious, I'll definitely make it again :)

[@stepht706]

Looks so simple!!! More instant pot recipes please!! 😍😍

[@Dtuanh]

Yes!! More instant pot recipes please

[@bucooking]

I had some Maesri cans I need to get rid of so I mixed it with Mae Ploy. Came out amazing. Added some carrots as well 👍

[@JoeBurby]

Pai! I'm so happy I found this. I have limited time this evening and was looking for a slow cooker or pressure cooker recipe for Massaman curry. Going to prep my ingredients now so I can get everything lined up and ready for family dinner tonight :)

[@BrendanGosney]

We made this tonight all I can say is yum it was wonderful

[@phantasticinnovation]

I just bought an Instant Pot and wanted to let you know it will save you tons of time especially when you’re making baby food for your baby when he/she starts to have teeth at around 6-8 months. You will have to steam fruits and vegetables and purée it for the baby. It used to take me hours to make baby food, now it takes 10 minutes max. Hope his help you with the new baby.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you for the tip!

[@mariacheng4226]

This is a good review

[@ZipTumbleFast]

This was excellent. We have an older, not so fancy pressure cooker so the sauté part required more attention but daggum this was really good. The Jasmine rice works perfectly with it.

[@mdeardley]

I’m so excited to try this! I use my instant pot all the time, and I’m excited to try a Thai curry.

[@johnnyh4666]

Found your channel today looking for a GOOD instant pot curry recipe. SUBSCRIBED! I didn’t have everything for this recipe this evening but it is getting made very soon!

[@harbourdogNL]

Looks great. I imagine if you do the first step and just let that sit in the fridge for a couple of days before step 2 that it tastes even better. Am subscribing to your channel based on seeing just this one video :) Looking forward to the rest!

[@patrickchadd]

Looks awesome! I loooove massaman! I do use the quick release pressure but I always drape some paper towel loosely over the valve so that anything that may come out goes into the paper...I am very comfortable pressure cooking so for those who are not; your 10 minute wait is probably best. :-)

[@Cathy.C.]

Yay an instant pot recipe!! Will have to try this too!

[@MasterofMizu]

I have not really cooked anything substantial in a while. This video / dish re-inspired me, and it's just finishing up on the stove right now. Thanks Pai : )

[@nmorgan72]

Favorite recipe for a new appliance i just received! Thank you!

[@ehTRUONG]

Your food always looks so good Pailin

[@joanelaine781]

Greetings from Ecuador, I love your program. I make the dishes that you cook, my family loves it.

[@v1c4r10u5]

I made 'mashed potato massaman' a few weeks back because I wanted to my massaman to cook itself in the slowcooker while I was at work... I mean, it wasn't BAD, but it wasn't great! The texture was just mushy! But now I know better.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Haha, thanks for sharing that story! It was worth a try, cuz now you know!

[@BenBayliss1982]

OMG Pai this is the recipe I've been wanting forever! Just had a Massaman last night but know I should be making it myself and not having another paste on hand is very helpful. I agree though it does highlight that the Instant Pot is not 'magic' when you're constrained about the timing of when you can add things. So I wonder how much time was really saved here? You said 3 hours but..... really? A different cut of beef and probably could have been done in the same time as on the stove top. Thank you!

[@terrazenvp3851]

Palin, you and Adam are funny. Love seeing you two laugh!

[@dabarezumba]

love your recipes ! more instant pot recipes please !!

[@nodidog]

Just cooked and eaten this. Amazing flavour!

[@BiancaGoenawan]

Yay! Pls make more instant pot recipes😘😘

[@stephs1476]

We just got an instant pot for Christmas from my mom so we are eager to try many new things with it, thanks for the recipe. Also if you had a cook book With Thai and other recipes you have for insta pot I bet many would purchase one.

[@jomercer21113]

Quick release for meats can also cause toughness, because the sudden pressure change cause the protein strands to contract. You can make some pretty darn good rice in the IP, too.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Reminds me, I've had the leftover massaman curry paste I made from your recipe in my fridge for some time (several months) now--shall I pitch it or is it still safe to use?

[@Area51Gregos]

At 6:25 Skynet becomes self-aware...

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

lol!

[@Chandasouk]

I watch your channel when I feel homesick!

[@karltraveldude7817]

Thank you for Instapot education and great curry ! Enjoy yum yum ...

[@GeoffreyGraham2]

The insta pot is just a pressure cooker right. Why pay $180 AU for one when you can get one for $40 5 litres, Top cooking I loved it

[@C00ltronix]

Bonus: takes less space.

[@chizniky]

you are a life saver. I love that you covered this for us! What brand of coconut milk do you use? Do you find that the coconut milk breaks down using the instant pot? I made red chicken curry, and did 5 mins high pressure with carrots and potatoes, then added the onion and other veg, fish sauce, cane sugar at the end for a few minute saute. Then stirred in more coconut milk at the end. But the coconut milk I used was separated in the can, crappy!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Separated coconut milk isn't a bad thing as far as Thai cooking is concerned. I do have a video on coconut milk 101, you should check it out :)

[@ChadwickHubbard]

This is great. Massaman is my favorite. Where can I find plum sugar?

[@MaverickZ89COD]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.. Instant Pot is really helpful when the baby comes

[@furrykeiki]

กรี้ดดด รอมานาน can’t wait for more vdos!

[@markkraman886]

I bought all my ingredients and am gonna try this haha it will be fun I hope it turns out well

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks Pailin, that was an educational video ! I've been resisting buying an Instant Pot myself (not saying there is anything wrong with them - I just don't know if I will get the use from it).

[@Jackripster69]

Delicious, the massaman looks good too

[@Noskur]

this looks really good and you explained your steps really well :) great video!

[@semco72057]

That is great and I have to take my Instant Pot out and put it to work. I got it early last year, but never cooked anything in it.

[@Nocturne22]

I made a low sugar cheesecake in this and I was SHOOK. It didn't produce browning, but the texture was excellent - no water bath!

[@VanityismyReligion]

Hey there! Could you try to adapt your Rendang recipe to work with a pressure cooker? I would love to try it, but it takes so long and I happen to own a pressure cooker, so...I imagine you cook the meat in the sauce under pressure, then open the lid and let it reduce, but do you adjust anything else, like the amount of coconut milk? Sorry, startet rambeling here. I´d be thrilled if you could make a video about this. I wish you and your growing familiy all the best!

[@aungkuci]

I love #Instantpot and I love this recipe. I am wondering if you will be posting "Instant Pot" versions of your old recipes in the future? like yesterday, I was making your Sticky Rice and Mango recipe and thought I wish I knew how to steam sticky rice with Instant Pot (after some research, I made it work but I sure would love to see how you'd make it. I love your cooking instructions and methods.)

[@Cinco-da-mayo]

Nice and yummy dish, the gadget sounds too complex!! We have a simple version of this in India called," pressure cooker" results are similar and we add everything it sauteing the veges n meat along with spices but we don't use coconut milk but water!! However your dish looks delicious.Love you Pailin n Craig.

[@MegaGdelossantos]

more instant pot recipes please

[@shartanne]

OMG an instant pot vid, can't wait to do this!!

[@sylviagarciadealba7297]

Hi!! Where did you buy your mortar & pestle??? How many cups does it hold?? And can you please link to it?? Thanks in advance for your response

[@SandeepSingh-yi9db]

Delicious & looking good chef pailin 👌

[@hurley31]

Thanks for this informative video. I wanted to make curries in it but judging by your experience it doesn't seem to offer much benefit over a slow cooker. Between the preheating, cooking time and pressure release wait time and then having to go back to cooking after all that by adding in vegetables it seems like quite a tedious process compared to just dumping it all in a slow cooker and waiting a couple of hours.

[@johnbackus8516]

Pai, what kind of veggie side would you pair with this? Speaking of pairing, what wine?!? Maybe a beer! Can’t wait to try this!!!

[@tolerating_it13]

Hellooo I wanna try this recipe today but I realized I ran out of red curry, only have the green one. Do you think that will work?😬 Thanks

[@iloveanimals1662]

Hello Palin,I love your recipes,thankyou🙏🏻 If I don't have shrimp paste,can I use fish sauce instead? Thankyou xx

[@kimmckoy]

One of my favorite dishes at restaurants. Thanks for sharing. Why didn't you use the searing/saute function on the Instant Pot? You browned your meat in a different pan but did not need to.

[@omgwth7567]

At​ 3.00 She told the​ pc is​ too small​ for​ searing all the​ meat in one​ batch.

[@kawaiikitty6969]

Can you use almond milk if there isn't coconut

[@FlyingChopsticks]

Nice one! Thank you for the recipe!

[@briannevin2087]

Hi, Nice to see how the Ultra model of the Instant Pot works. The interface is fancier and higher tech than other models (e.g., Lux). But they all really work the same way. Great video. Cheers! Brian In Toronto
