    THANK YOU so much for this video. I am a newbie and this video answered many of my questions.. My instant pot takes 20 mins to come to pressure and it releases the steam just like you showed a few mins before pressuring. I did not realize it took 20 mins to come to pressure as everyone says 10 mins and many are confused about the steam release before sealing.. THANK YOU> you covered all my questions about this.. :)

  • @jessicah1677

    Don't forget it takes time to warm up in the pressure cooker mode per the manual. So plan for anywhere from 5 min to 40. Found that out when prepping a meal before work.

      I’m new to this. Should the steam be coming out during the pressure cooking cycle? For me after the pin is pushed up the steam then starts to come out. Is this normal during the pressure cooking?

    • @InstantPotOfficial
      @InstantPotOfficial  3 года назад

      Make sure your seal is seated properly. A small amount of steam coming form the release valve is normal from time to time as the pot adjusts pressure.

    • @InstantPotOfficial
      @InstantPotOfficial  5 лет назад +1

      The amount of time to come to pressure is dependent upon how much is in it and the temp of the ingredients. In order for pressure to be achieved, the liquid has to boil to create steam to create pressure. That takes a little bit of time. They generally don't make much noise while cooking, so as long as your meal is cooking, you're ok!

    Great information.
    I received my Instant Pot recently. Yesterday I tried to make some brown rice. I made sure that the steam release was set to Sealing, and the Float Valve was able to move up and down. However the float valve never moved up to seal the pot. The steam came out during the whole cooking session. After the time was up, I let the cooker release steam naturally. When I opened it up, my rice was undercooked and the inner pot slightly scorched. Please help me troubleshoot the problem, I really want to love the Instapot.

    • @piscesmom

    Need some help with the "manual mode", since the user manual was confusing. I plug in the pot, I choose manual, set my pressure and cooking time. I then place on lid and lock. The timer counts down... but it's only after the timer expires that the pot switches to "ON". Does that mean it begins cooking now?
    All I really want to do is set a cooking time, and have the pot reach appropriate pressure and cook for that specified time. What's the best way to do this? Thanks

    • @HeresJonnie
      @HeresJonnie 7 лет назад

      A while after the ON was displayed on screen, it switched to "30" and seems to be counting down. The weird thing is I had originally set 00:20. Why is it counting down from 30 minutes? Is my unit defective? (I literally just bought it.)

    Can the instant pot be used for pressure canning/steam canning?

    • @InstantPotOfficial
      @InstantPotOfficial  2 года назад +1

      You can use the Instant Pot for what's known as "water boil canning". However, please ensure that you do not pressure can. Pressure canning requires a minimum 15psi, whereas most of our models are only rated up to 12 psi. This means that it does not reach pressures for safe canning. We currently have two Instant Pots that are capable of pressure canning. The 6 quart Max model and the 6 quart Pro Plus model. For more information regarding these models, please visit the Instant Brands website or contact our Customer Care team. www.instanthome.com/

    • @InstantPotOfficial
      @InstantPotOfficial  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for the question, 6996katmom! The "5:20" time is a reference to our founder, Robert Wang. When spoken aloud, this sounds like the phrase "I Love You" in Mandarin, Wang's native language. Regarding preparing bone broth in your Instant Pot Lux, we have a great recipe which includes cook time on our Instant Brands Connect app!

    What about the water you must ad. Without it the pot doesn't work. Must have liquids.

    Mi olla se demora 15 a 20 minutos desde que escojo la opción hasta que empieza a cocinar. Aveces se demora más... qué proceso no hago bien?

      Dependiendo de la cantidad de líquido y la cantidad en la cocina, tomará una cantidad diferente de tiempo para llegar a la presión.

    How to change “low, normal, high”. Modes?

      If your pot has an adjust button, use that. If it doesn't, you just press the cook button you are using multiple times to scroll through.

    What does “LO:” mean on time readout?

    • @InstantPotOfficial
      @InstantPotOfficial  4 года назад

      When cook time has finished, the timer will change over to L00:00 and count up, giving you a timer to show how long it's been done. It's not LO, it's L followed by zeros.
