[@MzCAGOMEA]

Gotta comment again. I just used this method to cook my rice and it is the most perfect rice I have ever made. All the grains are separate and fluffy. Thank you so much!!

[@OTseven]

Great physical demo. Thank you. Also perfect speed and to the point. Appreciate not having a lengthy long story intro.

[@renellsmith5064]

So glad I found your channel. No useless chatter, helpful info. Thank you

[@minnierv]

And no annoying music to interfere with what she's saying. Great video, Nili.

[@brittanyainsworth9307]

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "how do i use my instant pot ultra?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Penaniel Foremost Primacy - (should be on google have a look )? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to use great pot recipes to make a delicious meal without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.

[@ShaferHart]

Except the useless chatter of an ad she served us before getting to the point. Other than that yes, no useless chatter.

[@renellsmith5064]

@@ShaferHart You must be an advanced instant pot user! I was a new user at the time I commented and appreciated all the info.

I love cooking roast in my pressure cooker, no more dried out meat from the over, the instant pot cooks the roast so tender and juicy. I put a roast in, add a packet of onion soup mix, cover with water. steam for 20 minutes, add carrots and potatoes, cook another 8 mins and boom, amazing dinner. thank you for your tips, I love the pot in pot idea.

[@pandarush.]

How much water do you use? Does the meat sit in the water? Thank you!

[@ddarkerr22]

@@pandarush. she said "cover with water" so i guess she fill the pot just so the water surface level goes above the roast..

[@pandarush.]

@@ddarkerr22 I appreciate your response! I will try it.

[@thomasryan4697]

Are you cooking at steam setting or pressure cook setting. When you add the veggies do you quick release, throw in the veggies and set the timer again

[@ASLTeachingResources]

I love your teaching style! Extremely informative and to the point. Thank you!

[@9George6]

Thank you for your valuable tutorial on 2 tier stackables - I had no idea how to use them with my Instant Pot and the valuable cooking demonstration you provided - excellent job!

[@donotwater]

Thank you for all your tips! You should try making Java rice. Add turmeric and annatto powder, olive oil, salt, minced garlic in your water. I'm Filipina and that's one of our favorite rice side dish. I love your eyebrows, you remind me of my daughter. You're very pretty! Thanks again. I will look for those stainless steel containers.

[@janmyers985]

You do a great job of teaching without being silly or wasting time. Thanks!

[@carloslaban1013]

I am glad to found this video using pot and pot cooking method. My intention is to cook inside my partition room since the pot to pot mention will not smelly and disturb other occupants. Thanks a lot & may god bless your goodness.

[@saysomething2041]

Do you over your inner pot?

[@claudiaholmes9086]

I'm awaiting delivery of my Duo Mini today and watching videos as I wait. Your style of informative, instructional videos, (without stupid comments) really sets your videos apart from the masses. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@snstrleftyfpv6257]

I wanted to thank you for this video. I bought an 8qt IP during Prime Day and picked up a second one brand new for $26 and got to wondering about doing small-batch cooking in them and your video came up on top.

[@phyllisdenner1833]

Wonderful video. So informative. Thanks for the good information. QUESTION: When cooking PIP, how do you know when to use covers on the pots and when not to? If I'm only using one pot, do I cover it? Some guidance here would b e very helpful. Thank you.

[@vanekirk]

Used the link, getting the SS pot-in-pots from Amazon. I found you while searching for initial use of my instant pot this morning. Watching third consecutive video. So much great info, so many great ideas that I just had to subscribe. You have a real talent for teaching and a professional and pleasing screen presence.

[@chellebellenn]

This was great! The best video I’ve seen yet for using an instant Pot. Most informative. And as another viewer commented, to the point. I’m a newbie, and a little intimidated with using my new Instant Pot. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

[@chessmambo]

EXCELLENT for us single guys in the kitchen!

[@slashetc]

We appreciate your thorough and clear explanation. We're new empty nesters trying to figure out how to cook for two again and just got an Instant Pot. Sous vide has also been a great way to freeze on the weekend, cook the night before (no need to thaw) then just sear on the day we're serving, not really true that you can start in the morning like a slow cooker and get a tasty result with a few exceptions.

[@aliceannfondren5346]

Love your videos! Just got my instant pot but haven’t had the courage to try it out YET. Your videos will surely get me there. Had no idea you could cook pot in pot so yes I’m learning so much from your great instructions. Thank you Nili!!!

[@johnchan6191]

Wow, gr8 Pot In Pot tips 4 us newbies. Cooking alot of different things @ the same time is a real time saver. Thx 4 sharing on the internet. Keep on cooking & sharing on the internet.

[@annaefstratiou3578]

Thank you for your clear and concise explanation of PIP. I received a set for Christmas and am now just looking to try . I’m going to try chicken in one pot and sweet potatoes in the other. I have a feeling that I’m going to love this. Anna

[@david17102000]

So helpful! I am just cooking for me and i have seen so many people have burn notices that i think the pot in pot method for most things will work great for me.

[@6242-j1z]

I had plastic food containers cause it's so light. But now after watching your very informative video I am going to switch to stainless steel!! Thank you!!

[@lauriemccaleb7823]

I just got my Instant Pot on Amazon Prime. I have been binge watching your videos for ideas. I have tried chicken and sweet potatoes. This pot that will be used often in my home.

[@luschmidt9100]

Lots of good information for a beginner like me. Your voice is easy to listen to. You get right to the point which I really like. I was surprised at the size container you used for the rice. I thought it would expand a lot more than that. Can't wait to start cooking in mine.

[@davidperalrez4770]

Hi Nili. I love your blog. You are so informative and fun to watch. I love the 3 stainless steel pots but I read that you aren't supposed to put hermetically sealed pots in a pressure cooker because they may explode if you have the tops latched down. Read that from Hip pressure cooking. Hope that was ok to say that since I'm a newbie. Just wondered if you had heard that. Thanks so much!

[@sjams4223]

I just found your videos. First video and I am a fan. To the point, Great information. You are very good at instructional videos. Keep up the good work.

[@Galainthekitchen]

Thank you for informative video! Just got my Instant pot month ago and love it! I like to make easy stock and use it instead of store one from a box in my cooking. Leek potato soup great in it! Cheesecake is so good too. I keep learning about this great my kitchen helper. Love my instant pot!

[@leef6041]

Thank you! This was great! This is the first time I saw how to use the steam function on an instant pot- all others always focused on pressure cooking. Very helpful! :)

[@aishaahmed3507]

Thank you for mentioning not to use frozen food with glass containers for people like myself.

[@christineharris9037]

Thank you your video is great just the basics and great description

[@susiedisney6224]

Thank you for this video! I'm going to invest in those pots!

[@macdaddy9344]

I have sen these bowls but didn’t know if I will need them in the truck or not... but now I’m getting a few as I think it will make cleanup easier... either in the truck or taking smaller stackable bowls inside to clean. Thanks.

@Indigo Nili Do you have an updated link for the stainless steel food containers. Thanks

[@KRYoung_dev]

Thank you! This was really helpful! I just bought an Instant Pot and stainless steel inserts, but the instructions they came with were basically just "you can cook two things at once."

[@belkrst]

Hi, Nili! Thank you for your videos! I am newbie with instant pot mini, tell me please diameter of steel food containers suitable for mini? P.s. yours are not available on Amazon

[@melodyjayne]

Great video! I use my IP several times a week. I have not done any PIP cooking except for cheesecakes. This was very interesting. My new thing to make in the IP is mashed cauliflower. Also, I love green beans, cut up potatoes, onions, bacon with chicken broth in the IP. It reminds me of home.

[@fordhouse8b]

Good tip on popping the lid, as some reviews on Amazon seem to be complaining about the suction.

Thank you for sharing this information. I was just given an IP for my birthday & I’m so excited! Thrilled to be apart of the ip world. Blessings 💕

[@shyanha]

Love the puppy bombs. :D 7 months later your video is sill helping folks (me!). I got my Instant Pot on Jan 3rd and am having fun with it. The pot-in-pot method has me intrigued as I like to do everything at once while I work. I'm looking at all the information I can find so I can get this down to a science, though I'm not trusting of the glass containers - scared they'll crack even if they're oven safe. I'll be sure to avoid the brownies. :D :D

[@jennyG44]

Wow I got my Instapot for Christmas from a friend. I have been a little afraid to use it. But I loved watching your tutorial. Seems like you explain it so good, that I'm anxious to try, now. But would love it if you came to my house and gave me a one on one tutorial. lol Knowing that can't happen, I will get those little pots and try the rice. Then hopefully I can go on from there. Thank you very much.

[@MzCAGOMEA]

Thank you so much for showing the rice! My rice always sticks to the ip and its so hard to clean. I'm going to try this

[@naseerahvj]

As someone who makes rice for almost every meal there are multiple reasons I prefer to cook my rice on stove top. 1) I tend to saute my rice especially with spices before I cook 2) I tend to use the liquid from my pressure cooker (cooking meat or chicken) to add flavour and nutrition 3) it takes about the same am out of cooking time for me either way. But I would love to look into this for other recipes like caserols

[@IndigoNili]

+naseerahvj There is a saute mode on the instant pot so you can easily saute rice with spices before you cook. Also I cook rice in broth in my IP quite often. After cooking rice in the IP I'll never go back to cooking it on the stove top!

[@IndigoNili]

+naseerahvj You can cook rice directly in the IP... You don't have to use the PIP method

[@jocelynecomeau6572]

Thank you for the video - if you have more recipes with the pot in pot I would love to have them.

[@thakurshruti]

Great video. I want to know the cook time for pot and pot cooking- quinoa and rice. Thanks!

Yet another great video from the Instant Pot Goddess!! I do like those stainless steel containers, gonna Google to find them!! Thanks for all you do to educate us Instant Pot owners!!

[@suk4412]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you. Can I reheat frozen food in the stainless steel food container? If yes, do I put the lid on when reheating? Again thank you

[@tommystorey3692]

Love your channel. Beth 😊

[@CourtneyBStylisteducation]

Glad I found your channel! I just got mine. Have done a few things only go far. Chickens wings were my favorite. Didn’t realize how many things I could do with it. Can’t wait to do hard boiled eggs! I also learned that if you use hot or boiling water on the bottom it significantly reduces amount of time to get up to pressure.

[@shereenrashina]

By far the best tips to cook and use the instant pot.

[@derekfaeberwick]

I do similar with my large crock pot and Pyrex cookware. It's specially good for one person meals, only one dish to clean.

[@patriciabeeftink7931]

Excellent video, answered my questions.

This video was really helpful thank you, I just bought a instant pot today

[@anajinn]

Thank you for this. I have the Instantpot Duo Plus. It does not have a steam button. Would I use the pressure cooking button? Also, could I do rice pudding the same way, but substituting milk for the water? Would be glad if you can help please.

[@mick3235]

Hi thank you so much for your demonstrations it was very informative, good sound & video quality. Mick

[@frankenstein3163]

I want to make refried beans and rice ate same time. So ty for the idea.

[@JazzTechie]

Doing rice with a dish that goes on top of rice was the first thing that popped into my mind.

[@Bokchoy836]

Thank you very much, your video is pretty helpful for freshmen cooker

[@stephendennisdesigns]

Where can I get the pots, I love them

[@mc1rgene751]

Did you ever think about removing the gasket in the stainless steel storage lid before using it in the instant pot? You would still be able to put the lid on and lock it in place and it won't be sealed down after cooking.

[@DerekArmsden]

What an incredibly informative video. Thank you for being thorough, intelligent and interesting.

[@janicedron5072]

Thank you! I learned a lot in a short time. You saved me time in which I have little. Awesome, thanks again!!

[@debbiebazzle497]

You are awsome! I love how you are so detailed for us new IP users.

[@skittycat3423]

I just received my first Instant Pot, and yours is one of the first videos I watched (nice job and thank you BTW!). When you say time to "come up to pressure" @12:25, does the steam function create pressure like the pressure cooking function does, or did you mean the time it takes to boil the water to create steam? Also, is the venting meant to vent the steam for safety so it doesn't all come out at once when the lid is opened? I understand venting when using the pressure cooking function, but If not for safety, what is the purpose of venting in steam mode instead of just cooking and opening the lid when done? I have an older rice cooker that doesn't require this extra release step. I'm happy to get started and just follow your directions, but I remember things better when I understand why :)

[@teresacrain2060]

[@randyautrand5950]

Once again as always an excellent and informative video. Thank you so much for taking the time to post up.

[@beccogiallo]

I saw that you cooked the peas without the lid, but since I have stainless containers with lids that do not have a seal or a clasp, can I do the rice pot in pot anyway with those lids, or no lids or aluminum foil? Thank you.

[@morarivera9580]

The stainless steel container failed. I cooked kidney beans in the bottom of the liner with the trivet that you recommended on top and the stainless steel bowl with white rice on top of that in a 6qt iPot. The beans came out very nice, but we haven’t been able to open the bowl with the rice... for three (3) days. Looks like the seal melted and glued top and container together. We’ve tried everything. Then went to Amazon’s customer comments and found many, many people with the same problem. Too late for us to return the stainless steel containers and the container is ruined not only because it doesn’t open but because it is ruined with our efforts to open it. We’ll use the remaining stainless steel pots for pot in pot without the lid. Will see if there are better products out there.

[@lesacks]
