[@eastr9109]

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!

[@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. :)

[@parisz]

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

[@SailorGolf]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@fatasleem2960]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@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

[@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!

[@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..

[@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.

[@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 !!

[@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

[@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.

[@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...

[@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 :)

[@tiamxiang]

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

[@robertvdhill367]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@gradalamb704]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@poornabanerjee]

This looks like the perfect winter warmer!

[@meathead919]

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

[@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 :)

[@SweetandMellow999]

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

[@SandhyasKitchen]

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

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@waltzie]

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

[@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 : )

[@BrendanGosney]

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

[@terrazenvp3851]

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

[@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.

[@cartoonboi2]

Please Please Please more Instant Pot Recipes

[@abcdefgraham]

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

[@Dtuanh]

Yes!! More instant pot recipes please

[@joanelaine781]

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

[@ปฏิภาณกิติสาร]

สงสัยอยู่นานแล้วว่าหม้อแรงดันจะใช้งานกับพวกกะทิได้มั้ย สุดท้ายได้คำคอบแล้ว ขอบคุณสำหรับสูตรครับ

[@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!

[@tenboard]

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

[@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.

[@dawnrobbins5877]

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

[@Cathy.C.]

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

[@karltraveldude7817]

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

[@stepht706]

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

[@nmorgan72]

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

[@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. :-)

[@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.

[@ehTRUONG]

Your food always looks so good Pailin

[@dabarezumba]

love your recipes ! more instant pot recipes please !!

[@markkraman886]

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

[@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!

[@Pad-Thai-101]

สวัสดีครับ ... I just got the Instant Pot today! and found your Channel, Subscribed, and will go to find Stew Beef! Thinking about eating with Naan bread with my boyfriend and few friends, wish me luck.

[@Noskur]

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

[@SandeepSingh-yi9db]

Delicious & looking good chef pailin 👌

[@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!

[@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.)

[@Spooopiedooopie]

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

[@Jackripster69]

Delicious, the massaman looks good too

[@nodidog]

Just cooked and eaten this. Amazing flavour!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@furrykeiki]

กรี้ดดด รอมานาน can’t wait for more vdos!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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).

[@MaverickZ89COD]

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

[@heissmusik]

Hi Pailin! Great video! I love your channel! What frying/sauté pan are you using! Thnx and kind regards from LA!

[@rexnex277]

I use this exact same recipe using venison i also put the onions potatoes and sweet potatoe in at the begining and find they stay intact .

[@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?

[@iloveanimals1964]

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

[@renatamedeiros9659]

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

[@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 :)

[@one5643]

Thanks for that tip with the towel. Didn’t know that

[@pokegirlkat]

Yessss please do more instant pot videos! =D

[@PartyUpLive]

Hey Pai. LOVE your channel. I usually grill when I cook but every now and then I'll do something in the kitchen. Really learning a lot from you. Any tips for getting a wok for a electric stove?

[@Saucyakld]

You can now buy an electric wok!

[@PartyUpLive]

@@Saucyakld Ohh Really? That's interesting. Any experience with one?

[@caseytwinn]

Breville has an amazing electric wok. It gets very hot sears meat beautifully and stir frys veggies perfect everytime for me. Had one for 9 years and just got another one for Christmas and couldn't have been happier. Definitely reccomend :) the old one still works but the seasoning on the wok just got so thick it smelled kinda burnt when we turned it on so we replaced. I used it pretty much everyday so I'm surprised it lasted it long as it did.

[@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!

[@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.

[@notorioushsg1]

hmmm... I had high hopes for this one. My massaman is turning our more like a beef rendang. It's thicker and darker. There is a heap of oil on the top and it seems like it's separated. Doesn't look like Paillins 😔 This is the first cook I've ever done with my pressure cooker so I'm learning. Is it possible my temperatures were too hot during the cook? Can I save it by adding more coconut milk? Don't get me wrong it's extremely flavourful but doesn't have the sweetness/creamyness I expected. It's a darker brown. Any insights would be helpful.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Separation of oil is normal esp if the beef is fatty. Can spoon off some oil and then stir in some water and it should emulsify it a bit.

[@smithk6977]

Yess, Yayyy..More Instant Pot recipies. I have 3. The 3q,6q & 8q ;) What size is the one your using

[@Chandasouk]

I watch your channel when I feel homesick!

[@SBinVancouver]

Not all InstantPots have that pressure-release valve. Once the little round metal piece has dropped, there's no significant pressure. I figure 1/3rd of the time as a guideline for any braised dish. In other words, if a classic recipe says "cook for 2 hours", I estimate 240/3 = 80 minutes/ 1:20.

[@BudiAndBianca]

Yay! Pls make more instant pot recipes😘😘

[@cannonbalz]

got an Instant Pot for Christmas last year and boneless leg of lamb today. there is "Gaeng Massaman Gae" on the horizon.
