My mum and my wife were the chefs in my world. I could cook on the grill or over a campfire but that was it. Both my mum and my wife passed away in 2014. Now it's just me and my 12 year old son. We're getting tired of pizza and hot dogs. I was given an instant 6 months ago and didn't know what to do with it. Glad I found your channel. Tonight I'm going to cook potatoes in that thing.

I am so sorry to read this. Instant Pot is a big help to cook. I hope you will meet Jesus and find peace in your heart. I was an orphan and now I am at peace. « These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. » John 16:33 Amen.

I keep reading and looking at the directions that came with it and I was always scared I would do it wrong and it would blow up... LOL ... but this is the way I learn best. Watching you... most youtube videos don't really show you how to do it step by step, and thats what I need to learn how to use it. Thanks so much. I may try this now. I do make potatoes quite often. Now it won't take so long. Thank you again. I would love if you would do some more how to videos... for other foods you use it for and how to. I can learn to do it this way. Thank you again for taking the time to teach us how. This video is perfect for me. :) :)

Perfect medium-sized russett potatoes with your "recipe". Served with good, real butter, Humboldt sour cream which is the best, shredded 3 cheese, scallions, S&P, and TJ's Hot & Sweet Jalapenos- delicious! Unfortunately, I tested my blood sugar at one hour after and it was higher than I'd like. Next time will either make them for my family and I'll eat cauliflower with toppings instead or I might try just a half of a potato.

You say to use cold water, however, that cold water has to be brought up to 212 degrees F in order to produce the steam to cook those potatoes. So in order to cut down on the boiling time in the pot, why not put boiling water in the pot to make the total cooking time less? It just makes simple sense to me.
@KristenPound5 жыл бұрын
Yeah I don't know. That's just how I started doing it and it worked really well so I just kept doing it that way. I always wondered why most recipes say to use cold water when you're gonna boil it anyway...but yeah idk lol
@jmander824 жыл бұрын
You use cold water instead of hot because it starts to do some of the cooking while its pressurizing. So if it comes to pressure faster it cooks for a shorter amount of time and some things may not cook through
