I have a tip for you. Immediately after taking them out put hot veggies in a strainer and rinse with cold water. That stops the cooking process from the heat. And it freshens up the color of your veggies. They stay fresher and not as soft from continuing to cook from the heat on them. Works for me
Glad to see a cook has counter tops like mine. I love having my appliances handy. So my most used , like air fryer is always on my counter. My coffee pot and my insta pot.
Thanks for these videos. I just binged watched and made lentil soup, peanut butter cookies, and am really encouraged to see how I can steam frozen vegetables. I just got an Insta Pot.
People are ignorant pay them no mind. I came to this video to learn how to cook frozen vegetables in my instant pot. You showed me that and thats what matters. Great job, thank you!
Wow these comments are terrible. I like the way you talk and find it very soothing. Thank you for taking the time to educate us because I am always looking for new tips and ideas. Please come back!!
I just got an Instant Pot and was wondering how long to cook my Costco frozen normandy vegetables :) I was envisioning a pot full of mush, so, I'm really glad that I found YOUR video! Thank you for taking the time to make it
Thank you, glad you found it helpful! I made this video a couple of years ago, so I don’t remember if I mentioned that it should be on low pressure. I found that “steam” > “low pressure” > “0-1 minutes works best. (Quick release.)
Thank you very much for your detailed and Wonderful Tour in your or private kitchen showing us how the instapot pressure cooker can be used. I have become widower recently unexpectedly and your videos help me manage my healthy diet needs
I've been using a pressure cooker all my life (stovetop now electric) and never knew you could prop your top. I usually drip all the way to the sink. Great insight. Thanks
I blew up mine after I got married with the old stove top pressure cooker. It had a chicken in it and some how that chicken ended up sticking to my ceiling . What a mess. My insta pot is great.
Thank you! I've had my pressure cooker for a couple of months and am timid about using it. I must have a cheap one because I didn't get the insert pot. I appreciate the tip on the strainer and meal prep. I look forward to any other suggestions you might have.
Just caught ur video. Had my IP for a year & hadn't used it much because of such poor recipes. They're getting better, thank goodness. Thank u for inviting the world into ur home! I bet the ones that only offer offending remarks hadn't thought of that and don't have anything to offer to anyone. Yr info is a great help in making me more comfortable using my IP. Don't let anyone discourage you from continuing to make videos. The more u do the better u get & the more money u make! God bless!
I don't understand all the haters in the comments. You gave useful information. I've had my instant pot for a couple of years and I keep putting the time lower and lower for the veggies. I never thought to put it on zero thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the video. I was looking for info on how to use the Instant Pot to steam veggies and found this. I'm glad you have thick skin. No one can offend you unless you choose to take the offense. Good job.
Use the high-pressure setting and set the time to Zero minutes, then Quick release. It takes a few minutes to reach pressure, perhaps 2 to 5. The pot will beep when it's reached zero minutes, and then you push the pressure release valve to let the steam out.
Thanks. I was in the middle of making a frozen cauliflower curry when I started this video. I now expect that it will be overcooked, but at least I will know why!
I wish I could hear you better. I have my sound turned all the way up. I just turned on the closed captioning and that helps me to know what you are saying. I second the suggestion of getting a mic. This information about the frozen veggies in the Instant Pot is just what I needed today. Thanks!
Unfortunately, the closed captioning is not working for me. Those subtitles are only available here in Spanish. I checked it out in the options list. No other languages are offered. ;(
Diane Neary thank you, I apologize for the sound quality and the captioning. This was my first video that I ever made/uploaded, and I have since learned many things! I didn’t realize that the captions were in Spanish only until after I uploaded the video. I am unable to edit the video and correct the sound quality now unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate the feedback :)
Good video. I haven't tried frozen vegetables yet. I haven't used the steam function either. However, I noticed high pressure for fresh veg for 3 minutes with a quick release gives a nice texture- slightly firm. Don't worry about presentation- it's just fine. "Umms and hmms" don't bother me. Results do. I also plan to try a variation of your lentil soup method soon too.
The0ceanwave I’ve never tried a smaller amount of vegetables, but I believe with the Instant Pot you need at least ½- 1 cup of liquid in order for it to come to pressure, regardless of how much food you put in it.
I checked out some of you who made bad comments and guess what ? None of you haters have any videos posted of yourselves doing anything! So until you take the wheel and drive yourself sit in the backseat and shut up! Thanks for video.
You SHOULD NOT be jiggling it at pressure release. You realize youre dealing with a bomb right? Its under pressure and youre trying to pry off the seal when its pressurized. Nobody else should do this.
552mustang - yes, thank you. This video was one of my first videos and I’ve since come to learn that I shouldn’t try to turn the lid until the valve has completely dropped. I wish I could go back and edit my video, but RUclips doesn’t allow that. Thank you for the disclaimer- I agree with you.
Thanks for the info about frozen veggies in the Instant Pot! I don’t care for mushy veggies either but sometimes don’t have fresh ones. Darn I wish I had seen this before because I was at Costco yesterday. Now I need to look up your cheese sauce😉
💕 I found your comment answering another comment about you trying to hurry the pressure release; thank you for clearing it up. 😊 I wish other's had looked as well ! 😏 I love the way you cook your things ahead of time for your family ! I'll bet you have a very nice family, you sound like such a nice mom !! I'll be looking for more of your videos. 💗👋🏼
Thank you for such kind words, that means a lot to me! I appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment and you have encouraged me! I haven’t made any videos in a while but maybe I will again soon. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from sharing this video, what to do and what not to do! Thank you again and Happy New Year!!
I think your video is great. The haters (keyboard warriors) aren't obligated to watch your work, thus they shouldn't complain. You've been awesome and have taught me a lot. Keep up the awesome work!
You're mistaking "mean" for "honesty". The comment section is for good & bad feedback. If you have thin-skin you can turn off the comments. You probably shouldn't move to Arizona either.....the honesty would bruise your ego quickly. JMHO
I click the LIKE button on the video because I learned one thing from your video but I am very sorry to say this but you say mmmmm ammmm hmmmm so much that I couldn't watch the video until the end.
Thanks for the video. I'm using my Instant Pot for the first time. My I P SV DUO has the choice of HIGH and LOW and also LESS, NORMAL and MORE. I have the same frozen veggies as you except I want to mix them with some frozen cilantro won tons that I picked up at COSTCO also. If I put it on steam for twenty minutes on High and normal is that OK, or do I use LESS?
Well, I did it on Twenty minutes High Normal. Made mush. Did another run for ten minutes, and mush again. I'm going for five minutes with the same setting next time. I used the trivit that came with it and put one of those steamer things that splay out on the top it.
Hi, sorry I’m not familiar with that exact model of Instant Pot - I would suggest the least amount of pressure and for the least amount of minutes. If that is not enough, try one minute. Hope that helps!
@@gloveboxsandwiches Yeah, no problem that you caused really. I thought that when you said you came back after twenty minutes that you had set the minutes even though I didn't see you set them.I should have just done as you showed and not set any minutes. I did that on my third batch and it came out just fine. Thanks.
*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*
thanks for the info/video.... i promise i'm not trying to pick on you but i did have kind of a hard time hearing you tho.... i had my volume up all the way and it still seemed like your mike was too far from you. the noise from the bag of veggies was drowning you out some also.
I couldn’t hear you clearly when you spoke of how long to time IP on steam. Will you add that to description? I even rewinded to listen again but couldn’t catch it. Thank you!
Thanks for showing me how to cook my Costco Normandy Veg. I was just concerned you might scald yourself turning the valve with your fingers. Anyone watching, to be safe, please use a wooden spoon or laden to release the steam.
Claire Shaw either stovetop or microwave. Some people don’t use a microwave, but I do. The stovetop works well too. Just add a little water or broth to keep it from sticking, and cover the lid.
Beth W - select “steam” and adjust the time down to 0. The 20 minutes I’m referring to in the video is how long it takes the Instant Pot to reach full pressure. Hope that helps!
Dang it's like you need a full flame suit for these comments. Nice vid, didn't mind the homely talk. One suggestion though: make mention that leaving the Instant Pot on "0" means it will be ready when the pot comes to pressure. I just got an IP Duo and am still learning to use it.
I was the 667th like 😇👼 lol! Just bought my instant pot today. I meal prep all the time and the George foreman isn't cutting it. Thank you for your videos!
My Instant Pot directions says not to fill over 2/3.And also if it expands (like beans) not to fill it more than half. That said, appreciate your directions with frozen veggies! Thanks. (I’m a newbie)
It sounds as if you're trying to be healthy, but did you know if you put hot things into plastic containers, the food leaches out the chemicals like PCBs and hormone disruptors from the plastic? Cool or cold food won't do that, but glass is best.
You can actually drink the water (Chef AJ just puts it in a thermos and drinks it!) or you could save the water in the refrigerator and use it as a broth for soups or other meals.
You seem like a nice lady with some great information, I think doing videos is sometimes a challenge. My feedback would be get a wireless mic on Amazon so we can hear you. I thought it could be dangerous to wiggle the lid back and forth, maybe not for you but if someone opens it under pressure they could be injured. It seems there was a lot of "extra" talking about stuff that didn't matter. Nervous talk. Don't give up, keep going.
@Michelle Shelton. Thank you for being such an expert. I don't think the world would've survived with out your critical nature. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
Sorry for the super late reply! Lately I’ve been doing “steam 0” at LOW pressure,, quick release. It steams it without turning it too soft. Because most of the vegetables are reheated, this timing/pressure is perfect, so the vegetables don’t get overcooked when reheating.
If you fill the Instant Pot full of frozen vegetables, it will typically take around 20 minutes to reach pressure. If you put less vegetables, it will reach pressure faster.
I didn't get how many minutes it took to cook all those Costco veggies from that entire bag! (you are adventurous!) How long did it take? I was addicted to this video - and I actual found it kind of funny - you have an untapped talent!
Thank you! I'm just curious, if it's ok to ask - do you guys live anywhere near Los Angeles? The way you speak is pretty much exactly like me, and you even look like you would belong in our family!! Whatever the case - good luck to you and happy cooking. Take care, Rob.
@@captainbuzzkill4658 And? Does being an inmature nosy and ugly millenial that hides behind a Captain "Real Kill" avatar makes you any better? Go mind your own business and do something productive. Nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion from the start.
Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate the good feedback and the negative feedback. I have thick skin. I’ve learned not to take it personally. 😊 I know if any of the negative commenters were to meet me in person, chances are they wouldn’t say these things to my face. I’ve learned to sift the constructive criticism out of the negative comments and glean things from it. Some comments can be downright mean and hurtful but only if I let them hurt me. I choose to let it roll off of me and extract the constructive criticism instead. I love the kind and encouraging comments though - those totally make my day! So thank you, to everyone who comments!
Ricardo Valls - since this video, I've learned how to speed up the process. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode to "preheat" the heating element before putting anything into the pot. Wait until it says "hot" on the digital readout (happens quickly) then add vegetables and boiling water. I've streamlined steaming my vegetables down to around 10 minutes now. 👍🏼
Pressure cookers build pressure by boiling water. Think of frozen food in the pot like an ice cube in the pot. In order to build pressure the food has to at least mostly thaw before pressure can build since it'll be taking heat from the water and steam. The timer doesn't start until it's reached pressure (on 0 minutes, it beeps as soon as pressure is reached).
You don't need to add boiling water. Put water in the pot and hit saute, hit adjust so saute is in high mode and the n you can add veggies to the strainer with the already boiling water.
I couldn’t hear anything you were saying, the plastic bag is too loud, I tried subtitles but they were only in Spanish. 😰😰😰. I hope whatever you were saying wasn’t vital, I doubt it was but you may want to remake the video with the frozen vegetables already in something like a bowl, and you can show the plastic bag, just a suggestion... thank you for sharing your video
Nicola G - YES! I love vintage Pyrex and have a collection of bowls and baking dishes. I'm always on the lookout for them in thrift stores. I haven't learned the names of the patterns though!
no volume. can't hear you. If u can't get a mic, i discovered that a metal bowl serves well as amplifier. maybe it will catch your voice an boom it into the phone or camera?
Victoria Price this was my first video recorded. I’ve since learned a few tips and tricks. I’ve also learned that computers and phones vary on what they hear.. 50% of viewers hear me just fine, whereas the other 50% have trouble hearing me. On all of my devices and my friends and family’s devices they can hear me very loudly. Puzzling. I’ve since gotten a microphone! This was a VERY early recording. Thank you for your input!
You did really professional. You should see some of my first videos. camera cap flapping in front of lense. bad shots from bad angles as I tried to repair a camper roof. I am terrible. but I put my cell phone inside metal bots and it amplifies the sound on this cell phone. it may be us not so young people and not your phone..lol. There is always, on every channel no matter what you are doing or saying on u tube there are gonna be nasty replies. I am hoping I have thick enough skin to handle the trolls. Keep going, people love instant pots. I bought the Cosori because it does more. my best wishes for your channel...
I have a tip for you. Immediately after taking them out put hot veggies in a strainer and rinse with cold water. That stops the cooking process from the heat. And it freshens up the color of your veggies. They stay fresher and not as soft from continuing to cook from the heat on them. Works for me

Is this on high pressure?
Jahaira Luzzi it was on “steam 0 mins”
Yeah I don’t get that part either like wait what so zero minutes on what less normal more and leave it in there for 20 minutes?
Sorry for the super late reply! Lately I’ve been doing “steam 0” at LOW pressure,, quick release. It steams it without turning it too soft. Because most of the vegetables are reheated, this timing/pressure is perfect, so the vegetables don’t get overcooked when reheating.
If you fill the Instant Pot full of frozen vegetables, it will typically take around 20 minutes to reach pressure. If you put less vegetables, it will reach pressure faster.
OXO Good Grips Silicone Steamer.... they don't use the word trivet on Amazon "steamer"
Thank you
I didn't get how many minutes it took to cook all those Costco veggies from that entire bag! (you are adventurous!) How long did it take? I was addicted to this video - and I actual found it kind of funny - you have an untapped talent!
Robert Kushner - thanks! It probably takes around 15 minutes total maybe? (If you use boiling hot water and a preheated hot Instant Pot.)
Thank you! I'm just curious, if it's ok to ask - do you guys live anywhere near Los Angeles? The way you speak is pretty much exactly like me, and you even look like you would belong in our family!! Whatever the case - good luck to you and happy cooking. Take care, Rob.
Driving me nuts with that bag!
Put in Veggies .. add cup of water press steam set to 0 ... release pressure... done .... 15 minutes in one sentence...
Damn, that Kirkland Normandy bag lasts like 2 months for me and she completely emptied it in the Instant Pot, lol!!
Not everyone is a single loser who can't get chicks.
@@captainbuzzkill4658 Or a Trumpster like you who eats more than a hog.
@@Albertojedi You had to go back and edit your comment? 😂
Oh I just noticed you're old. Never mind.
@@captainbuzzkill4658 And? Does being an inmature nosy and ugly millenial that hides behind a Captain "Real Kill" avatar makes you any better? Go mind your own business and do something productive. Nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion from the start.
Better audio and less talking please... I couldn't finish the video because it was too long and you weren't getting to the point..
Joshua Williams that bag was making an awful racket too
Why don’t you just stop and move on if you are irritated. I like her
How's she supposed to know her audience can't hear if if someone doesn't make mention of it.
Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate the good feedback and the negative feedback. I have thick skin. I’ve learned not to take it personally. 😊 I know if any of the negative commenters were to meet me in person, chances are they wouldn’t say these things to my face. I’ve learned to sift the constructive criticism out of the negative comments and glean things from it. Some comments can be downright mean and hurtful but only if I let them hurt me. I choose to let it roll off of me and extract the constructive criticism instead. I love the kind and encouraging comments though - those totally make my day! So thank you, to everyone who comments!
Overall it was fun to watch and learn! I couldn't do a better video.
So it took 20 minutes at 0 time to get your vegetables pressure cooked?
Ricardo Valls - since this video, I've learned how to speed up the process. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode to "preheat" the heating element before putting anything into the pot. Wait until it says "hot" on the digital readout (happens quickly) then add vegetables and boiling water. I've streamlined steaming my vegetables down to around 10 minutes now. 👍🏼
Pressure cookers build pressure by boiling water. Think of frozen food in the pot like an ice cube in the pot. In order to build pressure the food has to at least mostly thaw before pressure can build since it'll be taking heat from the water and steam. The timer doesn't start until it's reached pressure (on 0 minutes, it beeps as soon as pressure is reached).
You don't need to add boiling water. Put water in the pot and hit saute, hit adjust so saute is in high mode and the n you can add veggies to the strainer with the already boiling water.
Can't hear anything your saying. Heard the bag rustling loud and clear.
I heard her just fine and I am sick and have a clogged head she did fine
I couldn’t hear anything you were saying, the plastic bag is too loud, I tried subtitles but they were only in Spanish. 😰😰😰. I hope whatever you were saying wasn’t vital, I doubt it was but you may want to remake the video with the frozen vegetables already in something like a bowl, and you can show the plastic bag, just a suggestion... thank you for sharing your video
Thanks to you and.mom
Great job!
Thank you! This was my very first video and I’ve learned a lot since then. I appreciate your comment and encouragement!
@@gloveboxsandwiches You're welcome!
I spy a Pyrex butterprint mixing bowl in the background 😍😍😍
Nicola G - YES! I love vintage Pyrex and have a collection of bowls and baking dishes. I'm always on the lookout for them in thrift stores. I haven't learned the names of the patterns though!
Wtf ,,way too much vegetables
These are not washed before cooking them
What a cool lady. I love this...
tyvm for sharing, greatly appreciated. Some editing would help improve your video. All the best!
Are you the lady from Just for Laughs?
no volume. can't hear you. If u can't get a mic, i discovered that a metal bowl serves well as amplifier. maybe it will catch your voice an boom it into the phone or camera?
Victoria Price this was my first video recorded. I’ve since learned a few tips and tricks. I’ve also learned that computers and phones vary on what they hear.. 50% of viewers hear me just fine, whereas the other 50% have trouble hearing me. On all of my devices and my friends and family’s devices they can hear me very loudly. Puzzling. I’ve since gotten a microphone! This was a VERY early recording. Thank you for your input!
You did really professional. You should see some of my first videos. camera cap flapping in front of lense. bad shots from bad angles as I tried to repair a camper roof. I am terrible. but I put my cell phone inside metal bots and it amplifies the sound on this cell phone. it may be us not so young people and not your phone..lol. There is always, on every channel no matter what you are doing or saying on u tube there are gonna be nasty replies. I am hoping I have thick enough skin to handle the trolls. Keep going, people love instant pots. I bought the Cosori because it does more. my best wishes for your channel...
Victoria Price - thank you!
