The not sealing (and not coming up to pressure) happens frequently when the sauce is too thick and there is not enough water available to create steam. The result is the temperature sensor in the outer pot will detect the pot is overheating and throw the 'Burn' exception. This is specifically frequent when one uses tomato sauce or puree and mixes it well. The trick most IP'ers use is to make sure there is at least a cup of water on the bottom of the pot and then layer the other ingredients on top, with the tomato product as the last ingredient to be filled in on the very top - no stirring or mixing. Once the meal is cooked and the pressure released one can give it a good stir. It usually takes a few experiences to get tomato based dishes to work well. My first attempt on Butter Chicken ended up slightly burned as well with the pot not sealing. Good luck.
we had 4 cups of water in the bottom plus a half jar of spaghetti sauce. not sure what is going on except the steam leak and the crackle bubble noises it was making (which Joni says hers has never made noises like that)
Martin Wolfertz I agree. Gotta have some water in the bottom. Also when cooking meat use the rack & make sure you have liquid in the bottom. I learned the hard way, lol. But all was not lost thanks to the internet.
I thought I saw you guys stir it all before you sealed it. That's the crucial question - to stir or not to stir: If there is tomato involved (which gobbles up the liquid) do not stir. :-)
I've found that sometimes I need to press down for it to seal. Sometimes it's not seated correctly and moving it some and pressing down helps.
The other option is that the seal is not seated correctly. I've learned to check that, too. It needs to be completely in place.
I make chili and soups all the time in my 6qt I use the soup button not pressure
The step van is looking good My cooking appliances follows the Walden model, one coffee pot, one frying pan. I use the plate I'm going to eat off of for a lid. The frying pan makes great chili.
sounds simple and minimalist. I like it!
Yep, that’s how I do it. I cook with whatever I have in hand, open the pot and toss it in. I’ve made some really tasty and nutritious meals this way. It’s also a good way to use up things from the pantry and fridge so there’s no waste.
Thank you both for your vlogs. I enjoy and appreciate them🌞
happy you enjoyed the video. good point on using up things from the pantry
One of these days you’ll buy something that works right first time. Looks yummy 😋
seems I'm getting 50-50 on my purchases lately!
I have a 3 qt IP I threw it on my meter, it uses 680-Ish watts when heating and pressurizing. For something like rice this is about 10 minutes at this level, after that it’s very little. Even medium portable power stations like the Bluetti EB70 could handle this no problem. I usually use IP for rice, beans/lentils , soup, or yogurt and never had an issue.
As many vegans do, I eat lots of canned beans. Compared to dry beans they are 5 times more expensive (on a calorie basis) .
I will save $20 per month on beans, and possibly more if I consume more during periods where I will strength train more. That $20/month is $240 a year or $8400 in the next 35 years I may live. This includes only the cost of the beans themselves.
I saw a RUclips video testing a 3 quart Insta-pot for energy usage and it only uses 15 amp-hours in 1 hour, using battery power and in inverter for 110 V AC. This is very low energy and people who do van and RV life can benefit greatly if using it on a regular basis.
Not enough liquid will get burn error. Always check the seal is seated correctly always. Beautiful place to boondock!
we had 4 cups of water and half jar of sauce... strange
Seven Wanders the World , Ipot depends on being able to have enough water to build up the stream pressure. So when cooking be sure the sauce is loose and more liquid. Trial and error learning to get the most from the pot. Watch some of Jill McKeever Simple Daily recipes on RUclips. She got me started on the ipots. Enjoy.
Cool colab... the more I see of the instapot... the more I like it. Keep us up to date with how it works out for you👍👍👍
currently it has been returned to amazon. debating switching models to the one Joni has and will make a decision once I'm in an area for a few weeks for amazon delivery
Seven Wanders the World something similar happened with the thermo mix. Newer models are not as good as the last iteration..! Look for the same one I say.. at least you got some good chilli .. yumola
Never too old to learn. Good to have friends share info. Send it back and get the simpler model.
sent it back a couple days ago
There are a number of good options for camp cooking from kelly kettle (rocket stove water heater) to a 16 inch dutch oven that you can bake pizza in. The Key is to have the options for the land you are on from those that you can use a contained fire to those that you can have an open fire for the coals to dump on a dutch oven.
You should look up plans for can dispensers that you can mount to the van walls for vertical first in first out rotation. A bungy cord over the opening to keep them secure when moving. 1 slot per product type would also give you easy inventory options as you can see how many empty slots you have.
love your idea of can dispensers. ps. my 3 main cooking items are a kettle, a small 1 qt pot and my lodge cast iron skillet (which doubles as the lid to my dutch oven pot)
Seven- with your cooking ability I'm shocked you are not a walking Skelton. Good thing your friend is around so you will not starve.
Also for something easy and quick look at a Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker. You can make your own egg mc muffins.
my mother only cooked canned soup, frozen meals and hamburger helper. I survived on microwave food thru college and then learned how to use an outdoor grill. so, I'm just starting to learn to cook recently
Seven I hope you have checked out Jim Foreman's you tube channel. He has lots of cool meal that look great and easy. I am not a chef but I can cook, little bit of a hack at it but have not ruined too many meals.
What a beautiful area and awesome company :) Joni has wonderful videos on her channel! I really enjoy her cooking videos. She does a great job of filming as well as product descriptions/reviews. Happy and safe travels to you both 👍
she had a good teacher!
You and Ms. Galavan are so fun to watch together. More of this pairing, please!
funny, Joni and I are sitting together at this very moment when I scrolled up to this comment! she says hi!
@@SevenWanderstheWorld awesome!
What's up I lived in Bakersfield we used to go to lake Isabella great fishing they didn't charge to camp up there nothing it just do what you want but just remember that lake is Kern River is the river you're trying to look at that it goes down through the pinion towards Bakersfield in the open areas it is one of the fastest rivers in America they had Olympic kayaking there and at the entrance to the canyon to go up to lake Isabella is used to have a sign how many people drowned in that River it was a lot of people because it's so fast it goes around those rocks and all and it makes whirlpools that will suck you down and drowned you
Well I am happy your chili turned out so good. It was the combo of Italian seasonings in the sauce and the hot pepper flakes ! I for one learned several things from your experience, 1) I have never heard of carrots and cauliflower in chili, but hey, soup is soup and I love all vegetables. 2) all the helpful input from your followers from their experience using the instant pot. I have one, baked potatoes are awesome in it, boiled eggs great ! Mine holds 4 pints jars, so I pressure can left overs. You can put the cheapest toughest piece of meat in under pressure and have a delicious and tender roast in a short time. Thank you for sharing !
Joni has a channel and several videos on cooking with the instant pot. mine turned out to have a failed rubber seal so I returned it. I'm planning on buying another instant pot soon
Hey Seven, say Hi to Joni too, great to see you guys! That chili sounds great! I gotta look into this some more. The delicious chili idea, and solar friendly to the battery bank sounds great! And easier clean up too! That location looks beautiful! Here in CT it is rainy today, but up to 60 towards the end of the day. Getting warmer! I'm getting out more on bicycle during between work. I had mech take the bus down to do VIN verification, part of the process of trying to register it from out of state. It did not pass as it needed new odometer LCD display not readable, so mech ordering replacement for me, and they are replacing it. I have RV ins on it now, hopefully this will work with our DMV in CT. Can be challenging! So now that I'm maxed out financially it will be a while before I can do much. The time of no money, till I accrue some more, allow me to research, scavenge, and be creative! But I'm excited! We use the MT45 daily for work truck, still working out the electrical quirks, not much time on it. Also still pimping sprinter van as well. Not enough time, still gotta work on the house, business etc..also making plans to simplify too! God bless you guys! Enjoy the beautiful spot your at, and just savor the moments! Enjoy!
I hope to someday see the east coast and travel thru the original 13. sounds like you are very busy. what kind of electrical quirks are you having? I'm still working on my speedometer issue
Thank Joanie for me I too had no idea what that little cup was for. I have the same unit and have been using it with out the drip cup. I did learn on the Joanie’s Chanel The Galavan that the lid could be set in the handle but Ive just been putting a little bowl to catch the drips. Now I’ll use the cup.
Love you both. Great video!
yay!
i'm thinking about getting one
Beautiful place. Stay there forever. Good luck.
10 days... was an amazing time!
You will love your IPot. I have 3 and use them all the time. I never use my stove top anymore. Enjoy!
3 in a van? wow you must love them! (or are you in a house?)
Seven Wanders the World , in sticks and bricks. But if I were in a van I would still have them and lots of power ;-)
I follow her and knew that van as soon as I saw the color, fun. Kindle has a ton of recipes
Joni is great and a wonderful teacher
I love my instant pot but you must use enough liquid and make sure the seal is set.
we had 4 cups of water and half jar of sauce. we didn't see anything burn on the bottom but think maybe it was just malfunctioning
The flat "spoon" is a rice paddle. The scoop is good for soups. The "cup" is only for rice since it's not actually "1 cup". It's for measuring rice and the water for rice to get the correct proportions.
wow thanks so much for the extra info! helps a lot
I got my instant pot last month. With chilli it gives me the burn message but it still stays on and message goes away after a few minutes. If you want to make Anthrit style chilli put in a pack of stew meat and a few drops of ghost pepper hot sauce into the mix.
thx for the info on your chili and burn message. glad to see it is not uncommon
Joni is sweet..just subscribed to her channel..chili looked yummy..💜
My insta pot did the same thing the seal under the lid had shifted
we checked the seal and visually it looks good and brand new. just doesn't seem to be sealing it. dunno!
There is a design flaw. When you turn the lid to lock it, it should go 1-2 mm more. So that little pin can go all the way in, so the pressure pin can go all the way up. I had to modify my plastic stop to let the lid go the extra mm and now it works well. I tried to go on Amazon to complain but the item was removed. I wish I'd done a video because all I had was a hammer and screw driver at the time and fixing it looked funny. There are better ways of fixing the problem but you use what you have. I think you could do a small grind with a dremel of 2 mm on the metal ring and be fine.
Really nice camp spot ! Looks like a learning curb with the new pot, you will get the hang of it. I'm a cast iron cook I use it for most everything. besides boiling water lol
I love cast iron and use mine daily for almost everything
You can adjust the time settings with the plus or minus buttons.
we did lower it from 20min to 5 mins
Well looked an interesting piece of cookware anyway.
I liked it. still debating how best to use it
Seven, you seem to be a magnet for poorly made things. I'm so glad all these people honor their guarantees for you.
I seems to have a lot of things break on me. not sure why as I tend to handle things very carefully and drive slowly. just don't know what to say
I just bought the 3-quart IP Duo Nova. I can't figure out how to clip in / on the plastic condensation collector. I think they put one for a larger model. Meh!
If your batteries were fully charged to begin with, how much power did it use and how long did it take to recharge the batteries to full? ( I'm not good with watts and Volts and amps either)
I have a lot of solar and 450 amp hours of batteries. batteries were fully charged with 700 watts of full solar coming in for the beans and then maybe 300 watts solar coming in for the final chili cooking. in the end batteries were full by the time my meal was done.
I've never dealt with solar but that seems like a good thing to me.
Here's an instant pot tip. If your pot is really dirty add water then put on saute and it will wash up very nicely.
great tip!
Need help? Has anyone used the instant pot outdoor. I want to get a power inverter but which one to get modified sine wave or pure sine wave. I'm not getting a straight answer from the instant pot company. I dont want to spend more than i need to any help would be appreciated
someone makes one of these that runs on 12vdc, one my my drivers has one and raves about it.
never heard of a 12v version but sounds amazing!
with a little bit a creativity you can run almost anything on DC power. Half of the electronics inside your device are converting a/c to DC to run all the computer stuff. the only thing that runs a/c directly would be the heating element and maybe a fan but they make both a/c and dc fans. ive run 110v soldering irons and hotglue guns off dc before.
I have never seen the message burn on my Instant Pot give an update as to why Instant Pot says you got that burn message. You were getting leaking because your seal was not sitting right alway make sure the seal is pushed into place before you put the lid on the Instant Pot. We are a fulltime family of 5 and I have two 6 qt Instant Pots and use them everyday. I am glad to see that they will run on solar we are usually in RV Parks but we will be doing more boondocking in the future.
Joni said she had never seen that message either. she did a check of the seal and some other stuff and said she thought mine was defective. I returned it to amazon :(
Too cool... I am on the fence over one...not decided yet
Pink salt is the best.. Contains minerals
Great vlog
I guess maybe depends on the minerals...
I'm waiting for my 3 quart IP, I suspect my 8 quart was refurbished from the way the SS pot looks, realized it too late. If you buy one, check it out good.
Wash before using. Yukkoes!
Hello there Seven and hello Joni! Oh wow, that is a beautiful sight to have in your front yard and a wonderful sound as well. My, my, my, that is one shnazzy pot ya have there...oh dang it! I hope that they didn't ruin a good thing by makin' the pot too shnazzy. Your meal is cooked though, it's got to be some sorta small glitch and nothing too serious. I hope. We each have our own special ways of cooking some things and chili is one of those things. I like experiencing the different styles of things and sometimes I even pick up an ingredient or trick to use for mine. That looks great! Here I am, like a moron, tryin' to smell it...smell is so important to taste and chili usually has fantastic nose appeal. You ate it all! I bet there were a couple of new sounds being heard with the running river that night. Heh, heh...sorry. That place is so relaxing looking, the sleep a person gets there has to be outstanding and with full bellies it would have been just perfect. Nighty night until next time. ..................................PEACE!!
chili came out great even if the IP wasn't working completely as it should
If you saved the box from the Instant Pot it could work great for storing your Kombucha will traveling or during fermentation
The plastic bags could also be used to set the bottom of the glass jug so if the spout leaks it won't make a mess
good idea but I used the box to return the IP to amazon ;)
How Did the batteries do with the instant pot,,,Safe Travels
didn't use much if any battery given I was cooking in full sun with 700w of solar coming in. maybe 1/10 of a volt?
I had the same problem with the burn message on my new model IP.. I cleaned it out and got the message again. 2nd time I did nothing and after a few minutes the burn message disappeared and it started cooking.
no idea on our end what happened. I returned the unit to amazon due to the steam leak
Golly, I'm disappointed to see you cooking with electricity, 😢 at least you still heat with propane. 😕😉 Thumbs up Seven 👍
I prefer to view Seven and Joni as cooking with the Sun ....
but, maybe that's just me !
They weren't hooked up to the grid.
100% solar while boondocking
Well gosh darn Seven, what's a guy like me who sells propane and propane accessories to do when everyone is going to this newfangled solar stuff lol jk
Is it hot there yet?
last 2 days there were hot (I'm no longer there)
That’s my river. It’s where I learned to swim.
It’s not actually my river but it’s home to me.
maybe it was the "karen river" rather than the "kern river" (just a typo)
I live in Bakersfield and it was behind Lake Ming. Not in the canyon.
Are you not going to put windows it would make it more appealing love what you did to it you need a dog
no plans for windows (I believe they would ruin the stealth factor). no desire for a dog as I plan on traveling internationally without the step van for six months each year
I’ve had my instant pot for two years, it’s worked out really well, it cooks just about anything, Is that BLM land? Thanks
yes BLM land south of L Isabella
Bet that river is now full of shit.
Que palhaço sem graça !!
