Thank you. I am a 51 year old man who loves to cook, but I have not ever used the instant pot. My wife was gone today and I decided to try it, but could not figure out the buttons. I watched this video and it was so simple. The chicken is cooking in it now and the kids should be fed soon. Now I have all kinds of ideas for how to use it. Thank you for the simple explanation.

Young lady you are my saviour. I bought an Instant Pot here in Thailand, I opened it and looked at it for several days. My cat who knows everything was even confused. Thankyou so much much for your video. Many many thanks.😁😼

As a visual learner, I’m so grateful for this video! I’m an experienced cook but have always been afraid of pressure cookers. But I’m facing my fears in order to make my own beans and save money/sodium.

You are a wonderfully accomplished and engaging presenter. As a Senior of a certain age I have finally managed to get around to buying an IP, following my son's example. This is the video where I 'found' you, just last night, and I am looking forward to many hours of browsing both the tips and the recipes. It's wonderful that you have provided a series of Recipes that are intro level. And you are the only one I have come across to emphasize the importance of NOT transporting the pot by the handle - filled, empty or otherwise! Cheers.

Oh my. This is a must watch video for all beginner. The Instant Pot is so scary until it isn't after watching this video.

You are SUCH a good teacher, I was going to ask if you are a teacher by training -- then I saw you have 244K subscribers, so you are clearly teaching full time I assume :)

You might want to consider buying the latest lid as I bought the 8 quart Duo and it is a seal/vent switch that automatically always switches it to seal every time you put the lid on, not simply turning the knob to seal or vent. I'm only suggesting this because some people might be very confused that you're using the old model lid where they have a switch

Yep! I bought my IP 10 months ago. And then talked myself out of using it because it would be too difficult, complicated and dangerous. Tonight I finally got over my self-induced fear and cooked quinoa in it. It was great! Lentil soup will be next!

I love my Instant Pot and use it 3-4 times a week. I never thought of using the Sauté function AFTER pressure cooking, good to know it’s an option. Your tutorials are VERY helpful!

Thank you for this video! I bought my pot about 3 years ago and probably have used it a handful of times. Today, I wanted to cook some greens and forget to not press the delay start button. Now, everything’s working alright after your instructions.

I've got an Instant Pot Viva that I bought on clearance at my local Canadian Tire for $110, from $180 original retail price. I looked at the date code, and it was manufactured in 2019. It automatically sets itself to sealed when I put on the lid, and I push a button to release the steam. It also has an awesome sauté temperature. Like, I can brown meat so well in it! I sometimes have to turn it back because it will burn at the More setting if I'm leaving the food to brown without stirring. It's definitely comparable to my stovetop settings.

I learned more in the first 10 minutes than the 3 other videos I already watched combined. You taught me about all the different functions and moved on without constantly over explaining yourself. AND, you made it all seem so simple, I'm excited to finally start using my Instant Pot. That is why I subscribed and you are now my first go to for recipe ideas or questions. No pressure though.

I have an instant pot and I use it. Not all the time but use it now and then. I love the instant pot . I have a crock pot I use and a Dutch oven so I try to use them all during the month. Never had an electric pressure cooker till I was in my 50’s. Love my instant pot!
I love getting ideas and new recipes . So helpful.
My mom had the pressure cooker you use on the stove that you put a knob on and it rocks.
TFS.

I just used my new Instant Pot DUO two nights ago. The starting instructions included w/ the IPD really don't explain very well how to use it. I made some chicken, and had issues with understanding the display and how the IPD operates. THANK YOU for making this very informative video, it answered all my questions.

Thank you for introducing me to the Instant pot. Also, you are an excellent instructor and it is so refreshing to hear someone who doesn’t drop or silence the t in words like button and important.

Thank you, I've had my instant pot for a while now, but never really knew how to use it, too many buttons, now I know it's not so scary, thanks for putting it so simple to understand :)
