What's your favorite feature of the Ultra?
Living Richly on a Budget - Pressure Cook hands down.
So the duo 7-1 is just as good as this one? Is it worth the extra money
I use the DUO all the time. The Ultra just makes certain things easier like it automatically seals the lid when you close it. And you can set it to a specific temperature for sous vide. If those features don't matter to you the DUO is just fine.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget thank you for responding.
The primary reason I picked the Ultra version over the Duo is because I can do sous vide. I love that idea that I don't have to buy a special souz vide heater to play with a couple times a year.
This is THE BEST video for learning how to use your Instant Pot Ultra. It’s a long video, but it’s incredibly informative.
THANK YOU!!
Never had an InstaPot but got one today when Amazon had the Ultra on sale for half off: $70!
Same!
Me too.... Watching this video saved my day. Loved it. Looking forward to finding this instant pot recipe videos. Only my ultra instant pot was missing the rice measuring cup and utensils, sadly.
@@eavenlyjenstillman7034 I didn't get those either, but then they weren't listed as being in the box anyway, so I guess that the manufacturer stopped including those.
Lucky you.I tried to be a 240 v model for Aus from iPhone uk, no go as thru Amazon which did not export to Aus, so ended up with mini ultra at huge shipping from USA and then a voltage convertor of great weight and cost and 18months later just cooking with it . Meanwhile Amazon slyly exported 240 volts to Aus last year. But the IP ultra is beautiful.
@@eavenlyjenstillman7034 the rice measuring cup is frail and a non event the two spoons like waist. Hope you got a good price, it’s a pity IP does not get strong quality control. Apparently you got the condensation cup that matters 5the others are very cheap a 2$ thing. Be happy the ultra is lovely.
Outstanding video! You really understand how to teach! After 3 weeks of having the ip ultra unboxed and sitting out, this little old 70-year-old lady finally used it! I seriously think you should contact ip and offer to write their manuals.
I am the same, waiting for mine, just bought a drop down transformer for Australia. I really like the automatic sealing, and the steam release with new button. This looks easier than others. Thanks so much for the clear video.
@@gloglos100 is going
No
Excellent instruction. I was trying to decide between the Ultra and the Duo and I made up my mind to go for the Ultra. Thank you.
I just bought an ultra because I read about the easy locking....so am thrilled with this video. I am buying in Aus, bought an 89$ transformer for it, because there is a fancier fast slow cooker here but it only has non stick. All in Aus are non stick. So had to buy from USA.
like2makethings ,good choice. I have the ultra 6qt. Also have a 3qt, I love this one very much. 2 people here, veggies mostly, 2/3 minutes, done. I par cook potatoes, 3 minutes, ready for eggs fried potatoes and onions set in fridge,covered,use in the morning,time saver, love my 3 qt,
My ultra died already. Didn’t even get 2 years, i have 2 minis, ultra didn’t get much use, the screen went blank, called IP, nothing they can do. Bought another 6, Not another ultra, a Duo.
Thank you so much! So clear. Had my Ultra for a year and still didn't know what the "ultra" setting was for. Read the directions, I guess, or
simply watch your excellent content!
So glad you found my Ultra video helpful! Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
Fantastic video! I've been using my Ultra for a year and didn't know about the left hand handle to hold the lid, or how to clean the valves, etc. Thank you!
So glad you found this video helpful!
Thank you. Very informative!
Thank you, this was very helpful!!!
This video was TERRIFIC! Thank you! Thorough yet simple. Great job!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I would love this for cooking custards, caramels and chocolates. I would need a spare or second gasket liner since the original is likely going to take on a savory/onion like odor after using it for chili's and spaghetti sauce.
I received my 8-qt, Ultra Instant Pot two days ago and your demonstration will certainly flatten out the learning curve for using my new machine. Thanks very much.
I just ordered the Ultra Instant Pot... during the Black Friday special! This video was very helpful! I can’t wait to get it!
Congrats on getting the Ultra! And thanks for leaving a kind comment!
Just watched this after thinking I just needed to pull it out of the box and turn it on. Thank you for an instructional, informative video. I thought it might be daunting at first but I smell the butternut/apple/ginger soup wafting through my kitchen now and am no longer intimidated. I love these easy use of the Ultra.
Glad you made the plunge to take it out on of the box and use it! How did you soup turn out?
Wish the rice setting time could be changed. It is set to 12 minutes! Way too long. I have to use pressure cook for 6 minutes and I got great sticky white rice! The instant pot site says that the rice program adjusts to how much rice you have in the pot, but I don't see how!
I agree. I make rice this way: ruclips.net/video/dj5NdeohifU/видео.html
Nice instruction video. I am trying to make some chicken noodle soup from scratch right now with this unit.
How do you release the pressure "naturally", as some recipes call for that? Is the pressure being naturally released in warming mode or what? I'm so confused about that part!😜
Yes, leave by it on Keep Warm mode until the pin drops.
Living Richly on a Budget thank you so muc h. From watching you it become intuitive fast, wonderful explanation. Mine in Aus willl be on a drop down transformer I just bought, so getting ready.
This is Perfect! Thank you I only have one question. How do you clean the plastic without loosing the pin? I can’t wait to see more of your videos :)
A crisper Lid is on the way and should be available within 45 days of this Post. Enjoy your Instant Pot 😊
What's a crisper Lid?
Very nice review my friend 👍
Thank you! This video is so helpful, and you explained everything so clearly!
Never use the optional Instant Pot Crisp +Airfry lid on this particular model or MAX model of Instant Pot. There is a secondary heat sensor near the top of the pot that could be ruined and your Instant Pot will no longer be able to sous vide. It's perfectly safe to use the crisping air fry lid on all other models of Instant Pot since they lack a sous vide mode and secondary heat sensor.
Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I was lost.. My recipe for split Pea Soup said to set the manual button at 12 min. . No button like that.. So I used the porrage button for 15 min and stopped the machine with 3 min left.
So you can see how helpful you were. Just use the pressure cook setting and adjust! Thank you! 💕
Bought a Martha Stewart Everything Pressure Cooker and her book Pressure Cooker and returned them both. Made only one meal in the PC and when I wiped condensation of the inside of the pot with a paper towel, black came off on the paper. OMG! So NOW I just took my new Instant Pot Ulta (which I should have gotten first) out of the box and came to RUclips to find some instruction videos about it. Found you first and am glad I did! It helped me so much just to watch your "out of box" video. Thank you! Will find some more of your videos to learn more!
Sous vide is what I was looking for! Thanks for the info!
My Instant Pot Ultra did not come with a manual. Your video was very helpful!! Thank you so much!!
Anyone else notice the chrome strip on the lid of the instant pot ultra looking different? Mines started to look a bit off after 6 months use. I hardly wash the lid too. One day out of no where, I noticed the strip looked bubbly like air bubble inside. I pushed down on it and it made this crinkly sound so right then I knew it’s obviously not metal but more like a sticker. Upon looking closely I noticed a small tear which also ended up peeling off and revealing plastic underneath! For the amount I spent to purchase for this pot, I’m pretty shocked as I expected something of better quality!
Excellent video. Great tips on cleaning and great explanation on how to change the sound and Fahrenheit to Celsius. Thank you!!
Do you know if you can slowly release the pressure on the Ultra, for instance, whenever making macaroni to avoid foaming through the release valve?
What setting is manual on this model?
Pressure cook
Thank you. This pot had me a bit perplexed at first. I had an older version. The instructions suck in the booklets.
I have the 6 qt Instant Pot Ultra and I do like the pot. The only problem I have is that any recipes I look at want me to use the manual setting for different things and I don't have a manual setting. What do I use in place of manual?
The pressure cook button replaced the manual button. Just make sure the level is on high pressure as it can default to low pressure sometimes.
Oh, thank God for this. I had the time function all messed up.
Me too. It's not minutes:seconds, it's hours:minutes.
I thought everything had to be cooked for 35 minutes with pressure cooker. couldnt figure out how to adjust time.
Press the plus and minus adjust buttons.
just got my ultra mini. Your video was VERY helpful!! thank you
I have the 3Q and 6Q instant pot ultra. I am finding new uses and recipes for these 2 pots! Thanks for this video! 👍🏾🥳🙌🏾
You are a lifesaver! I just got a instant pot ultra.... so much I’ve learned thanks!!!
Very Helpful!!! Thank you for posting this! I'm just starting and you've been a big help.
I hate that annoying babe. I bought my second ultra because it showed that it didn’t have the beep and I could not figure it out. Thank you so much
I bought one but learned a lot more from your video...excellent review!!!
Very informative and well made video! Keep up the good work.
Very nice...u gave a pleasant presentation .. Thank u😊
I don't even own an nstantpot (yet) or have I ever tried any food cooked with one.
I've been curious how they work so I am glad I come across your video at least I have some idea.
I would like more explanation of how to use ‘ultra’ setting.
Mpower the ultra setting is very similar to the manual setting on the other pressure cookers! 👍🏾
@@JacquelineLP Do the manual settings on other Instant Pot models allow you to set the temperatures for High and Low? The ultra setting allows custom temperatures for each plus other custom temp settings.
Mpower Yes! You got it! That's right! 👍🏾
Awesome video, thanks for making/keeping it simple/easy!👍👍
Thank you for this super thorough explanation!!
Im tryi g to do an i stant pot ultra corned beef n cabbage and every recipe is for the old model. Which is manual?
Sorry if I ask a question that is already addressed but I haven't found the answer for: is this a 6 quart or 8 quart? I want an 8 quart.
Oops, just found the answer, there is an 8 quart ultra ip.
This video and your careful explanations taught me about my New 8 QT Ultra. Wow learned so many things. How to use the Dial is the biggest help. The Instruction Book that comes with the Instant Pot is very lacking in explicit instructions. Seems as if the book is for those that only upgraded to the Ultra from a different sized pot. Your Video helped so much.
1Toffeey hi
Can you post how to cook rice in insta pot 10 in 1
Does you insta pot make click sound when you start sauté mode?
Hands down the best video out there presenting ALL the feature of the ultra I was curious about! There was a lots of love making that video with edit to quickly demonstrate feature in a few seconds where other would struggle for minutes trying to explain it ; this make it extra enjoyable for the viewer. Thanks a lot for it.
Thank you SO much for noticing! You made my day!!!
TritonJovial
I agree, super review.
YES, SUPER REVIE AND PERFECT FOR SOMEONE NEW WITH THE ULTRA.
@@wurobert8911 Thank you! Glad you liked the video and that it helped you!
@@markj7209 So glad you liked it!
But, all I wanted to know what how to set the delay timer. You skipped right over that.
Thank you so very much. You have made things easier to understand.😎
Just bought one of these pots ,I have a stainless steel pressure cooker that is used for cooking foods on the stove,I like it.But I think I will like the Instant pot better ! I live in Arizona and summers are hot very hot , I think this Instant pot will be a cooler faster and a bit more economical way to cook on those hot summer days. No heat from a cook stove ! Thank you for a very 👍excellent demonstration on the use of this pot. (I didn’t know about the water vapor thing on the back) I haven’t even opened the box yet so l learned something new today Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄and a very happy🎊 🎉 🌈New Year !!
You are very welcome! Thank you for leaving such a kind comment and sharing a little about yourself. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!!!
An excellent presentation and explanation on how the pot works, I was at lost when I got it out of the box. Thank you.
Great video, explains everything very clearly.
Excellent ! Thank you ,
Great info on how to clean and store it too, as well as all the little unknown features of the included parts.
Great video..thanks for sharing.
Excellent video to start with instant pot ultra!
Omg meat is not tender!!!! 3 rd try and I'm ready to give it away. So mad
Thanks for your awesome video! You explained how to use this Instant Pot better than the manual! Really appreciate your effort. jul 8, 2023
Awww, thank you for the lovely comment! Glad I could help!
Very well done. Great information.
My Ultra's inner pot (6qt) came with no markings at all, I find it strange. Purchased from SurLaTable.
That's odd. I got this at Kohl's.
Could you please mention the quartz of the thing? 3,6 what is it?
6 quart
Amazon has this for $87 now
Can someone guide me with what needs to be done of the whistle release button (lid programming) before and after the cooking
When you close the lid on the Ultra, it locks automatically. When the pot is done cooking, do a quick release by pressing the button on the lid, to release the steam pressure. When the pin drops, you can open the lid. Or wait for a natural release, which means wait for the pot to naturally release the steam which could take a few minutes or longer. Then when the pin drops, you can open the lid.
Watch this video for more explanation on the quick release vs. natural release: ruclips.net/video/lSYWAQhiMr4/видео.html
Thanks..I tried releasing the pressure today after cooking was done..but was not sure if that is the process to be followed always. Thanks for confirming
Quick release or natural release depends on the recipe and what you're cooking.
Thanks again. Helpful.
This is the best video on the instant pot ultra! And much better than their own instructions. Thanks for this video. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you, Donna! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this video
Thanks I’m totally lost having switched from the crock pot I bought the ultra but since everyone else had the older pots I have had no luck trying to find out how to use it. I make a soup but I want to make roasts and potato and stuff and there’s just a real lack of simple directions. I dont know how to make potatoes carrots and meat together without the potatoes being mush. I used to just throw everything in the crock pot and leave it all day. I want to get it out again but I feel dumb because I have this fancy pot and don’t know how to use it . I’ll search your channel hopefully it’ll help lol. Thanks
I haven’t made roasts in it yet but if those dishes are easier in the crockpot then use your crockpot for that. For me, the Instant Pot is easier for soups, popcorn, and steaming things.
People cook without the inner pot????? Whattt??? Someone is drunk in the kitchen lol🤣😂
It happens!
I don't have a package with a rice cooker cup or the condensation cup. Maybe my husband left it in the box, idk. I haven't seen anything like that.
Sometimes they are hidden because they are wrapped in plastic. I almost didn’t see them either.
What is the lowest temperature in sous vid mode? I need to cook something at exactly 100 degrees Fahrenheit and I need to know if I can set it to that. I suppose I could use slow cook mode too. What is the lowest possible temperature in both of those modes? Thanks so much.
Looks like 104 degrees F is the lowest setting for Sous vide or slow cooker mode.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget Thank you for the quick reply!
I don't understand about the venting feature on the top. When pressure cooking, the cooker seals and then emits a constant stream of steam. Did I miss part of the instruction. Is it supposed to keep putting our steam? And the timer hasn't even started yet.
The vent may let out a little steam before going under pressure. But it shouldn’t be a constant stream of steam. You might want to check that your sealing ring is snug. If it has problems going under pressure or is constantly steaming throughout cooking then contact Instant Pot for further help.
Love it! Thank u
How to buy ...give Amazon link please...soon
Here you go: amzn.to/3ZrfikM
Glass baby bottles. I seriously would not recommend trying to sterilize plastic ones in that
Do what works for you.
Very good directions.
How are people so stupid to cook in the instant pot without the removable pot? I just don't get it.
It sounds surprising but it happens!
I HAVE GOT 2......6 QT. INSTANT POTS....SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN THE PROGRAM LABELS....ONE DOES NOT HAVE START/STOP....AND OTHER,....NO DIAL...GUESS THEY MAKE IT MORE CONFUSING BY ADDING THESE DIFFERENT FEATURE SETTINGS.....JUST GUESS,.....I GUESS,....TRYING ANYWAY....
I came across your video because I was looking for how to mute the beeping but I'm glad you covered that it can sous vide as I had completely forgotten!
If you use "keep warm", will the ultra still automatically naturally depressurize at the end of cooking? thank you. Newbie
Yes, it will.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget thank you
Este video es ESPECTACULAR. Muy informativo. Gracias por su generosidad.
What a great video presentation...I thought the Ultra had to be used with a Smart Phone or something
like that...I've wanted to see how it is used...simply...this was so informative...and encouraging. Thanks!
Excellent video with detailed instructions. Best video I have seen so far. Thanks.
Vary nice very helpful I am impressed I bought this model only today and was confused but your video helped me a lot a lot. Can I ask you some other questions about cooking in this ultra instant pot?
Regards
Champi Sagoo San Francisco California
Sure! Feel free to ask more questions about the Instant Pot Ultra.
How come after it heats up it flashes “burn” ? I tried cleaning it good , but, nothing works.
See if this helps: www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-burn/
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget great link! Thank you for finding it!
Is there any reason why there is a rice mode if we are going to cook it with pressure mode... ? I'm lost here
Good question! I have heard people had bad experiences with the rice button mode so I just use the manual button, with 5 minutes cook time and at least 10 mins natural release. You are welcomed to try the rice mode and see how it goes.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget
Well even on the instructions provided with the unit it says to use manual mode and put 3-4 minutes. Rice mode indicates 12 minutes if I remember well... I'll test it sometime.
@@EarendilTheBlessed Yes, rice mode is 12 minutes.
Hi dear, I have confused what brand have to buy, I dicided ultra...also I would like to ask this model has manual options? Please let me know
Yes you can manually select the time to pressure cook.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget thanks for your reply, What I am asking to if I want cook anything my prefer...can I manual time setting without pressure?
Thank you!
You Rock Fanny, I followed your instructions and I am on my way to cooking my first Pot Roast. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for this!!! I was thinking of buying a sous vide and had no idea my ultra did this!!! I'm so excited to try it now and I don't have to purchase something else 🤗
Very well done. Thanks for explaining the "Ultra" mode.
Great video, I had no idea I could make popcorn too! Thanks, awesome job, and subscribed 👍
I have an Ultra and I'm not quite getting something... I have tried to set the pot to low pressure to cook hard boiled eggs. Whether I’m in Pressure Cook or Egg mode I have the same issue…. I choose the mode and set it, I then set the time I want, and then try to set the pot to low pressure. I can get it the setting to bounce back and forth between high and low, but when I try to leave it on low the pot returns the setting to high. What’s going on and how do I get it to stay on low pressure? Thanks!
I’ve had my instant pot for maybe two years. Love it but some things I did not know. Thank you for this video. 🙂
Nicely done. I've had my IP for a couple of years but wanted to see if there were some points I missed or forgotten. An ideal refresher on the basics. Thank you
This video saved my life. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
I just bought one for wiffiee,, I'm a retired electrical engineer, and I'm going to need those old skills to figgure out how to use this damn thing.
HI and thank you for your video, I am having difficulty with saute setting. I set it to saute for a few minute it begins the preheat session then shuts off I do this with lid off, maybe it needs to be on?
The lid needs to be off so you are doing it correctly. The saute mode is timed for 30 minutes so if yours is shutting off before that, try contacting Instant Pot for a replacement.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget so I can't saute for less than 30 minutes? I had set mine for like 5
I have an older model duo and I can't adjust my time. What model do you have?
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget the ultra 6qt made perfect rice and fantastic bone broth
Using my ultra for the 1st time - very comprehensive video - thx!
