Kristin, you taught me how to use my Instant Pot when I first got it. As a 78 year old invalid, it has changed my life. I was buying most food cooked (a lot of fast food). Since I got the IP almost 2 years ago, I rarely EVER buy cooked food. Your videos are wonderful.

I have one suggestion about cooking pasta in an Instant Pot. A different YouTube told me that you do not keep to cover pasta with water in an Instant Pot. Just make sure each piece of pasta is wet, and it will steam and cook perfectly. It comes out perfectly. Try it some time. It saves having too much liquid.

I went through a divorce awhile ago and basically had to learn to bake and cook on my own, my ex-wife was an amazing cook and Baker so she did the majority of it. She suggested to me to start following 6 sisters. You ladies have got me through the last few years with ur tutorials in cooking. Because of your channel, I absolutely love cooking.
Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! I'm 73 and have been cooking for 63 yrs. and my son introduced me to Instant Pot a few months ago and I love it! At 5'5" I weighed 181 lbs. last year. Today I weigh 160!!!! NO more frying. I also have an air fryer that my husband bought for me. Wish I had both 30 years ago! lol You are a very good teacher. Thanks again!

I’m 73 yrs old. Just bought an Instant Pot “11 in 1”. SO GLAD I found your video. Love the recipes and the instructions you provided. This is a whole new way of cooking for me but I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you for providing these easy to follow recipes. Thank you also for providing little hints pertaining to different types of the Instant Pot, such as the different buttons and the venting. Very helpful with so many pots on the market.

Thank you so much for the great recipes. I'm just learning how to cook in an instant pot. I'm 73, and I remember watching my mother pressure cook food. Let me tell you, it was scary every time with the rattling of the button on top and crazy steam. I was a little nervous at first using my new pot, but it's not as scary as the old time ones.

[angiesmith]

My first time meeting you. You cook like I do, and you don’t talk us to death. Very pleasantly concise. Thank you for a great “keeper” video.

I was a bit intimidated by the instapot because I’m older and remember pressure cooker accidents. I couldn’t sleep one night and found your favorite recipes. I made your creamy enchilada soup and it was delicious. It makes a big batch for 2 people and I didn’t know how it would freeze so I sent half to my neighbors. They dipped into it immediately and raved about it. Then I came home….browned hamburger in it and then cooked pasta for spaghetti. Amazing!!! I think I need to go shopping tomorrow to get ingredients for a few other recipes that caught my eye! Thanks for your time and effort! I, for one, really appreciate your help!

Forty-five minutes in and I am crying. I have been everything challenged all my life. I subscribed to you ages ago and I never get your uploads. So I just so happened to come onto this. You have put an energy into instant pot cooking and I have had one for a decade and never had it out of the box! I hope I can find this in my favorites so I can LEARN HOW TO USE MY INSTANT POT!

I use the instant pot for yellow rice - adding the butter and chicken broth instead of water. WOW...SO GOOD!

[Dawnofabrightday]

I too LOVE that masher/mixer thingie! I got mine at Dollar Tree for one dollar!

Thanks for going back to the Instant Pot, it’s because of you why I love my instant pot. I love my air fryer as well.

[marilyngodfrey]

I just ordered a set of insta pot accessories. I have a 6 quart power cooker. I'm so excited. I've already decided it may be the best $26 I've ever spent. I have lots of silicone pieces, a spring form pan two strainer baskets and lots of other things. Wow!
God bless you for sharing!

[Bgsqlila]

I like that you did single food items versus an entire recipe with other food items. Thanks!

Just bought an instant pot, Amazon prime days, love your recipes & presentation style. When I was much younger in the late 1960’s we use to serve chili, Fannie farmer recipe, over crinkle strips of iceberg lettuce. It is a nice way to do it for summer. Jeanne (retired RN)

I'm kind of amazed at how much I use the instant pot. I can cook nearly anything with this thing. Thank you for sharing your insights.

[susanmc]

I have a love of the instant pot because of you and your videos. I used to be afraid to use it and now it’s my favorite appliance. Thank you for all you’ve done and for all the videos . Please keep making Instant Pot videos!!❤️👍🏼

[Pooch]

Thanks you. My kids bought me an Instant Pot for Christmas a few years ago and I use it a lot, but I basically do the same 8 or 10 recipes and don't explore all it's uses and potential. I sure will be doing more after watching your video. Thank you again.

I love taking frozen skinless and boneless chicken breast. Once cooked, I add bbq sauce and it shreads so easily and with a fork. Put on Hawaiian rolls and you have the most perfect sweet bbq sliders.

Just say that over here (UK) I’m diabetic type 2, so white rice is off the menu, but it is so easy to cook brown rice in my electric pressure cooker which I found difficult and took a long time on the hob, (I’ve asked for a good size Instant Pot for Christmas). This may be anathema to many but I cook 3 cups rice to 4.5 cups water and after 17 mins it’s perfect. I cool it quickly and it’s easy peasy to use with chilli or Thai red chicken. Have even converted the daughter and husband.. Really enjoy your videos.
