You are so welcome! My favorite type of comment - when I know my videos have been helpful to someone!
Thank you Nina, I received this model as a gift and I was very intimidated by this until I found your video, it has been very helpful.
You are so welcome, glad you found the video useful!
Thank you!!! I am not usually intimidated by kitchen appliances. You have the perfect demeanor for people who are wary of their own purchases, lol. Much appreciated!
Wow, thank you! I've been told I talk slow in the videos (unlike real life, where I talk super fast!)
Thank you so much. My pot has been sitting on my counter for over a month. Your video has given me the courage to b-e-g-i-n!!!!
Yay! I hope you got it figured out.
Super helpful. Watching your instructions is much nicer than reading the manual!! Thanks!
Aww, glad to hear that! Enjoy your new Instant Pot. I love the Duo Evo Plus model.
You did a great presentation on this . You did it slow so ppl can get all details clear .
So glad to hear you found it helpful - thanks for your comment!
Agreed!
My sister-in-law bought me an Instant Pot Duo Evo for my new apartment I moved into last month. It's the first one I have ever owned. Just completed the water test and am qualified to try out my first receipe! Thanks for the helpful set up video.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your new Instant Pot.
Mine has been on my kitchen counter for a few weeks and I glance at it every once in a while feeling intimidated by it, but I finally had the courage to use it today! Yay! Thanks for all your help!!!
Wonderful - how did your first cook go? Thanks for commening :)
Paint the Kitchen Red My first cook went well, well kind of 🙃I went with my normal stovetop chili recipe and realized when it was done I added more liquid than it needed, but I am still getting to know the machine and won’t give up!
Just bought a Duo Evo Plus and saw this video. Good presentation. Just what I needed to start the IPot process. Thank you.
Great to hear, you're most welcome!
After watching several other tutorials that left me frustrated and confused, I am so happy I found you! Thanks for a clear and concise tutorial for a beginner. I now feel like I can tackle using my new Instant Pot!
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful to you.
Great presentation! I followed with my new insta pot and understood everything very easily. Now I am not afraid to use my pot!
Awesome! That was my goal - I'm thrilled that you're ready to get started :)
I really like the way you did this explanation. Simple, not so fast, very clear!
Glad to hear that! I'm sure some people find that I speak too slow haha!
THANK YOU!!! I felt like I was going to need a computer programmer to use this, but now I can actually enjoy this appliance!! 😁
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoy it.
I finally had a chance to test my pot. I was so glad u had the same pot as me. I kept my ipad beside me and did each step with you. Nothing blew up, ha! Love your videos. I like how u do t talk real fast.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to help.
I am new to Instant Pot and I just got this model. This was very helpful. Thank you so much. ❤️

Thanks for belaboring this for us. I especially enjoyed the demonstration of how to plug it in, and of course, the congratulatory approbation for completing the water test.

@@PainttheKitchenRed Thank you
Your video was so clear and you were so calm. Also, you were so reassuring after I was feeling overwhelmed on how to start using the Instant Pot. The box had been unopened for a few months and your video helped me understand how to use this device.

Such an excellent video for beginners. Very thorough and well demonstrated.

Thank you! I have this on the way and can’t wait to get it!! 😀
It's a very good purchase - hope you got the deal for Black Friday! All the best!
Thank you for your video. I purchased this same unit and used it several times and never looked at the internal workings myself. Your video has saved me time so I can continue cooking and making meals for my family. Also looking forward to videos of you using this model. I have one request. I have not seen any video on how to make Yogurt easy. If you have the time it would help me out. Sincerely a father who likes to cook for his family.
Thanks for commenting! Glad to help out. I've put yogurt on my list. I'm a bit slow in creating vids but will try to get to it soon!
Thank you so so much. I appreciate your time
Aww, you're so welcome!
I’ve never owned or used a pressure cooker before. I was and still am a bit intimidated. Thank you for this video. I successfully did the water test lol
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information in this video. I actually like the simplicity of this model. And of course, as often as these go on sale, it is hard to beat the price at less than $70.00.
Thank you! I think it's a steal at that price. Glad you were able to snag one!
@@PainttheKitchenRed They had a whole bunch of them there, enough for everybody. They certainly weren't flying off the shelves. I actually think they increased production significantly due to people cooking at home instead of eating out, resulting in the temporary surplus. I think these were really marked down like they do turkey on Thanksgiving; more of a good will gesture from Instant Pot. :)
Excellent review
Thank you!
For the water test shouldn't we remove the silicone cover on the float valve? I did remove it. After so long my instant pot never did the count down. The steam stopped. No idea what I did wrong. Help?
Thank you so much !
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you, I can't find the book that explained the water test. It's somewhere in all the Christmas mess...lol. this demo was exactly what I was looking for!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome!
I’m a new subscriber and a new Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus owner. Your presentations are so well done and easy to follow. Do you ever use the Sous Vide function? I’ve done a quick search on your channel but don’t see a demonstration. Perhaps you could do one? Thanks!
Hi Bonnie, thanks for that! I do have a blog post with a lot of step by step photos for sous vide. It has a short video on it too. I hope you find it useful.
www.paintthekitchenred.com/how-to-use-the-instant-pot-sous-vide-smart-program/
Thank you
You're welcome, any time!
Thank you so much for this video because I was a bit apprehensive about opening the lid after the float valve was down...when I began to open it I didn’t get the cool little open jingle, Instead it went *beep, beep, beep* and “LID” flashed on the screen. That made me think STOP! Don’t open it yet!...even though the float value had been down for 45 minutes. Why did this happen?
I did go ahead and remove the lid, but not until the third attempt!
Glad you found the video to be helpful. That's odd - did you possibly have the Saute function on while the lid was on? If it's a one-time thing, you're probably fine. If it continues to happen, you might need to contact the company.
The quick cool tray is now available online from instant pot. 70% less time to cool down. My pet peeve is a long cool down time when is cook with strong smelling food, with meat, turmeric, aromatics, curry, etc. Only available online.
Thanks for the info! I had been checking for ages and then gave up :)
Can you go over the yogurt settings for duo evo plus. ( all other recipes state to have at Normal temperature for fermentation but this setting only has low or high option?)
Maria, when you select "Yogurt", you should be able to turn the knob to "Pasteurize" or "Ferment" - no need to select temperature.
Hi loved your video 😋😋😋😋😋. Is it possible to explain the cold start method for yogurt in the duo evo plus ip because there’s no normal setting it’s either high or low,so please can u help me .? Thanks 🙏 alot
Amy, thanks for your question. With the cold start method, you don't pasteurize. You just ferment and that's the 'normal' setting in other models. On the Evo, you'll select 'yogurt' and turn the knob to 'ferment'.
Thanks a lot for replying,, this is what I did , and I put it on high not low. Just wanted to make sure. You are awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You say to turn the lid counterclockwise to initially close it; do you not mean clockwise? I suppose if you are inside the pot it would be counter..... thanks so much! Great video!
Sorry but yes, it's clockwise to close it. I have no way of changing the video so I've made a note in the video notes. Thank you!
When I wash the lid do I take off all the small parts and wash them separately.I don't have a dish washer.
Mary, I don't clean out the small parts every time, just when I cook something really messy and there are food particles all over the inside. (I use the basket in my dishwasher to make sure I don't lose the little parts.) Otherwise, I just remove the sealing ring and put lid and sealing ring in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Good evening. Sorry, I‘m from
Italy. I want to buy this model, but can you tell me if the internal pot of the Instant Pot Duo, the one without handles, is compatible with this new model? thanks.
Sara, although I love this model and it's become my new favorite since my Ultra died on me, one of the few disadvantages of this model is you can't interchange the Duo, Ultra, Lux inner pots with this model. Please safe and healthy during these trying times.
Paint the Kitchen Red thank you! You were very kind! good luck to you too in this difficult period 😘❤️
I was doing the water test and it got to keep warm mode and started counting up but after 14 min there was still no steam. I shut it off. It seems like it's not working right. Any suggestions
Sorry, I didn't see this before. Did you get it figured out? Steam should have come out before it got to keep warm and before counting DOWN. Let me know if you're still having issues.
Good evening, please tell me how to set the temperature for baking a biscuit?
The bake function on this model (duo evo plus) takes a lot longer than a normal oven bake. I have not tried to bake biscuits in this model, but I would use the same temperature as your oven recipe, but cook for longer.
Hi, after first use of my duo evo, the anti block shield comes off easily using my fingers.. is it normal?
As long as it stays in place, you should be fine. If it's too loose, the spring-like metal keeping it in place probably has been stretched out.
Red seal is just an extra or does it have a different application
Just an extra. I have a separate sealing ring for desserts and the color helps keep track of that.
Water test pass doesn't mean nothing wrong. My ultra passed water test but failed when cooking, the dynamics of the pressure changes and it couldn't handle the load. Problem was with pressure release mechanism and it took me giving instant pot choice of sending lid or whole pot after long dance with them. They sent lid and everything is fine now.
That must have been so frustrating. Glad you got it resolved. You're right, water test doesn't mean nothing's wrong but it can catch obvious problems. Thanks for sharing :)
Can you tell me, please, is the countdown from 5 to 1 supposed to be rapid? My countdown is quite gradual, with what seems like a few minutes between each number counting down. Thank you.
The countdown from 5 to 1 is actually 5 minutes.
@@PainttheKitchenRed Thank you; that makes total sense. You can tell I'm a newbie to the Instant Pot LOL
@@margaret2383 we were all newbies at one time or another :)
This might sound dumb but can you use insta pot right after doing the water test or should I wait? Thanks
No question is dumb, because if you're asking, others are thinking it too! Yes, you can start cooking as soon as the water test is done. If, by chance, you end up having an issue, take the sealing ring out and stick it in the freezer for a minute or two.
Awesome thank you so much for taking thr time to answer. I just got one for Christmas and was so scared to use it. Your video was helpful and reassuring that it will be okay. Again thank you. 😊
Auntie, I have not been able to close my lid because you said to close it counter-clockwise.
Beta, try it clockwise :) I misspoke!
Can someone help me... my instant pot stays stuck in preheat. Have washed the lid + New ring. Still does not go in pressure mode.. What can I do?
You might need to contact the company if you've done the water test and it doesn't seal.
I didn't do the water test before using it. I used it 3 times, do i have to do it or not?
If you're using it fine, then you don't need to do the water test right now. But keep it in your toolkit for when and if you have any issues. When people have issues with their Instant Pot sealing, I tell them to do a water test to eliminate other problems such as the recipe itself, ingredients, amount of liquid, etc. Hope that makes sense.
How do you do a natural release, say for 10 minutes?
Nancy, here's an article I wrote about it that you might find helpful:
www.paintthekitchenred.com/instant-pot-natural-release-or-quick-release/
You just wait for 10 minutes and do a quick release.
So the red ring is a replacement?
Yes, it's an extra sealing ring. You can save it or use it when you make a sweet dish/dessert.
Hi, can I turn the peeping sound off? Thx
"Press Cancel. The display should say Off, press and hold the knob for 5 seconds.
When the sound icon (microphone) starts blinking, turn the knob to toggle between sound On and Off.
Press and hold the knob for 5 seconds to confirm your selection."
From: www.paintthekitchenred.com/instant-pot-duo-evo-plus-buttons-and-smart-programs/
How do you do a reset on this model?
Try this: press and hold the Cancel button until you hear a beep. Hope that works for you.
Do you have a biriyani recipe?
I have a lamb biryani recipe. You can make it with chicken too. No youtube video though, sorry.

@@PainttheKitchenRed thank you kindly
I don’t like how long it takes to preheat and become pressurized because you have to takes that into consideration with cooking time. If the recipe states cook for 10 minutes and it takes 10 minutes to preheat and become pressurized then you can over cook your food.
You are right that the total time is more than the "cook time" indicates and that is a surprise for those who are new to the Instant Pot. However, the preheat time is calculated into the pressure cooking time that recipes call for. e.g. if a recipe says to pressure cook for 10 minutes, that 10 minutes begins AFTER pressurization. So overcooking should not be an issue.
Paint the Kitchen Red so while the food is in the cooker and it displays preheating, the food is not actually being cooked during that time? Is that correct what you are saying?
@@9929kingfish That is correct. Think of it like an oven preheating. Also, that time varies based on the quantity of food in the Instant Pot. So if you have a full container of e.g. soup the preheating can take 20 to 30 minutes. Many people start by adding warm or hot liquid to give the preheating a head start. I generally don't do this because I just set it and go about doing other stuff. But it's good for when you're short on time. Hope that helps.
