This is my new favorite kitchen tool! Day 1 I was going to pressure cook a meat kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and potato stew, decided I wouldn't eat it that night so I went with a slow cook so I could go to bed and put it away in the morning. I love that versatility! The sauté feature works great and adds tons of extra flavor to dishes, and I can easily sizzle meats in the bottom then deglaze for some restaurant worthy flavors.Big bonus - you can cook a whole frozen chicken in about 2 hours. Amazing! I've seen a couple videos, haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!

Don't pressure cook overly thick stews directly in the liner. Some components of the stew, rice in my case when I was attempting a rice stew, may stick to the bottom of the pot and will prevent the pot from coming to pressure before the stuck material starts to burn, in which case the pot's safety feature will shut it down without pressurizing or finishing cooking. In my case, no actual harm was done. I just had to transfer the contents to separate bowls and pressure cook these on trivets so that nothing could stick to the liner bottom. The meal was delayed, but not ruined. Thank goodness for the safety features!

So a tip I learned the hard way; If you open the lid to check your food and it’s not done cooking and needs to be cooked a few more minutes, make sure you check the sealing ring to insure it’s still in place properly in the lid. A couple of times my sealing ring pulled itself out of the lid slightly (I didn’t check it) and when I put the lid back on it didn’t seal correctly so it would not pressurize and steam kept coming out of the pop up valve. So check your ring each time you open your lid. Be careful it’s hot!

Rule #3 to never operate the instant pot without the silicone ring is when you are making yogurt. After much use, the silicone ring retains cooking odors from prior use of the instant pot and this will transfer to the taste of the yogurt. Yes you can reserve a silicone ring devoted to yogurt but I find it easier to remove the silicone ring altogether since the yogurt feature operates without pressure.

I love your videos! I have seen a good tip for avoiding melting the bottom of your IP if you have to put it on a glass top stove. If the knob(s) for the burner(s) that your pot is on come(s) off easily then that basically makes it very difficult for the burner(s) to be accidentally bumped on. In my case I'm not normally doing more than one process at a time when I cook. The holidays are about the only time that I have more than one pot going at a time! As always my absolute very very best to you and yours! Take care!!!!

Maybe you need to get with a friend who has been using an instant pot for awhile and cook a few things together. You can do one aspect of a meal in your IP and he/she can do another in their IP. I cook for a big family 8 people, sometimes 10-11. I now own 3 IP’s. 3 quart, 6 quart, 8 quart and often I have 2 of them going at the same time and sometimes all 3 of them. Yes, you will make some mistakes but that’s how you learn. If you’re convinced you don’t want to try please gift your IP to someone who will use it.

@kh237972 жыл бұрын
Just a tiny correction... the liquid isn't _still_ boiling as you wiggle; that's when it _starts_ to boil. At normal air pressure, water boils at 100°C=212°F, a boiling point that rises when forced under pressure. Normally, water in a pressurized i-Pot exists as super-hot, but not boiling, water. But as your wiggling drops the pressure, the boiling point drops, so the water has to boil.
@kh23797 Жыл бұрын
@UCr7HkuEBDTvsluyf-wfJhGQ Depends on what you mean by 'boil'. My understanding is that the new generation of pressure cookers, such as the Instant Pot, electronically monitor the temperature and pressure within the vessel specifically to suppress ebullition during cooking. Hence, excess pressure build-up does not need to be released via the pressure release valve (as happened with traditional pressure cookers) and the pot can remain virtually silent throughout cooking. Only when the pressure release valve is opened to reduce internal pressure, to allow removal of the lid, does the resultant internal pressure change induce _actual boiling_ of the liquid. That's how I interpret what I read in IP's own pages. No?

#22 don't use dairy - but what about porridge when you use cow milk, for example?
@pat40057 ай бұрын
She suggested to not use dairy as the main liquid ingredient. So you could cook oatmeal or porridge in water with a pinch of salt, then stir in some heavy cream, or half-and-half, and a dollop of butter after the cook cycle ends. If you use brown sugar, honey or some other sweetener, you could probably add that after the cook cycle ends but before adding the dairy. (So if it's granulated, it will dissolve better). It may not even matter.
