Yes thank you for explaining! A lot of other tutorials didn’t have the same knobs as I do and although it certainly shouldn’t be so hard to understand, I was perplexed. Your lid was the same as mine. Whew!
Thank you for this video. I read the safety pamphlet but it didn’t explain the extra ring and I didn’t feel like reading the entire brochure. I then remembered RUclips and found you. Thanks.
Ty so so much for this video. I know it might sound silly, but I have never used an IP and I absolutely freaked out and wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or not and found your video. I definitely feel a lot more confident now. God Bless! =)
I have used mine 4 times since Xmas based on YT videos alone without opening the manual. Good video. The biggest difference is the steam release valve is safer to use and that is is mostly about it.
Thank you for your demonstration. I recently bought the same model and ive only used it once. Mine seems to release steam from both the large releasing value and the small round float valve. Somethings not right and i dont seem to know what to do. Can anyone advice please? Many thanks
Thanks. This was exactly what I needed to know. The manual does not clearly explain the valve functions. And I heard you fine. Don't know what some people were talking about.
You are the 1st video I have seen that explained it how to use simple! ... as thoroughly .. Thank you... so appreciated 🤙🏼👏🏼 I used it for the first time .. had it on meat/stew .. and my lid was stuck I am new to using this and didn’t understand what the release valves do I will try it again .. hoping it won’t this time 😃 (Learning) 👍🏼
If I forgot to do the test run first before starting cooking will that be a problem for future use please and thank you for your video as I was so excited,I went straight to coming 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
The most important thing for safety is the steam release make sure it is not blocked by particles, keep it clean. Also, do not overpressure. Extreme pressure may cause explosions and critical hazards.
Hi, I received an instant pot duo Nova for my birthday I find the manual doesn’t explain the buttons very well. I’m not understanding the pressure level, and pressure cooking. How to use the slow cooking feature versus the pressure cooking. Many of the videos are for other models and don’t cover the features of the Duo Nova.
Nice video. maybe I missed it, but I wish you would have discussed and shown the safety ring and how it goes on under surface of lid, as that is extremely important. Thanks
Can someone tell me why my cooker starts going up in numbers in the little display screen after it has reached and alerted the finished time I set it at?
According to the "getting started guide" from Instant Pot, it says the natural release method "must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews ... as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains." So I'm guessing you can press the quick release if you are confident the food you are cooking does not fit into these categories AND you are in a rush
So how do you let it release naturally? And do you have to move anything on the top around to seal it before you pressure cook? And also how do you slow cook with out it pressure cooking bc I’ve seen other instapots have a option for venting and pressure
My pot will not jingle once i put the lid on. From the part where it says off and I then push the pressure cook button at bottom right. The lid error appears. It is a brand new pot and I have not been able to even do the initial test. Am i doing something wrong ?
Thank you for creating this simpler to understand video! However, your approach to the water test seems to differ from the official instructions for the Duo Nova model (which say to select the "steam" function and let the new pot cook for 10min). Can you please help us understand why? Thank you
Hi again! My apologies, I was wrong! I was referencing this "Duo Nova Getting Started" video from the official Instant Pot channel (ruclips.net/video/TKkIY-f65_Q/видео.html), but when I reread the manual just now the instructions were as you demonstrated. It seems like the inconsistency is within Instant Pot. My apologies!
I thought I added a comment but I don't see it. I received the Duo Nova Instant Pot yesterday. There is no plastic box to collect the water. There was no reference to this box in the Getting Started Guide. Please advise.
For certain recipies where you have more water in the pot, you need the plastic box to collect excessive water which will drain during pressure release.
Here’s my problem. Had meal ingredients in pot, directions say cook for 20 minutes, timer was set and when it got down to 3 minutes timer started counting UP. I had no choice but to throw out what I tried to cook. What did I do wrong??? Great way to start my instapot experience. I’m wondering if buying this was a colossal mistake
dorothee michele Shame on you for being uneducated and couldn’t do very simple research on you own. Instead, you wAste other folks’ time. If you can’t locate “Instantpot. Com’s website, and can’t or are to lazy to use any of many search engines, shame on you.

@@mp5578 exactly what I was going to ask, would've been nice if OP said how that could happen!! I think I'll stick to the pre-programmed buttons till I figure things out lol.
Burn notification is a risk. It tells you that food or water content is burning inside. You should immediately shut down your instant pot to ensure that no head is provided. I think either you put less water or ran the Instant pot for longer time. Hope this helps!
@@kstix007 Itt was a question not a complaint. I’m older and my hearing is not as good as it once was. It is a very good video. It was much better listening through a headset. Please don’t be so quick to judge.
@@moderncooking676 omg!! Thank you for answering this question. I received the Duo Nova, 7 in 1 (6 qt) for Christmas and it has from my Son and Daughter-in-law and it has been sitting on the livingroom floor since then. I barely unpacked it right now and was completely confused reading the instructions because it reads to install the seal ring but, there is already a white, ring in the lid and I had no udea if the other one goes on as well although I couldn't figure out how it would fit in there. Ugh! I thank you very much for this video and for responding to the same question I had.
Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!
Yes thank you for explaining! A lot of other tutorials didn’t have the same knobs as I do and although it certainly shouldn’t be so hard to understand, I was perplexed.
Your lid was the same as mine. Whew!
There are like 8 or so different models.

Thanks for your video. I finally realized they included two pressure rings. 👍
Thank you very much it was very helpful!!! I was ready to take it back!
Thank you! You did what everyone else didn’t. Kept it simple and easy to understand. Thank you!!!
Very well informative. I just got this instant pot, and plan on doing a test run with it this evening.
I have used mine 4 times since Xmas based on YT videos alone without opening the manual. Good video. The biggest difference is the steam release valve is safer to use and that is is mostly about it.
Same- I have used it many times over the years based on YT alone- same for the Airfryer lid.
I'm confused. I've tried to put my beans on for 25 minutes but timer only goes up to 10 minutes and then goes back to on again.
Thanks so much. Easy, concise, informative.
Very informative and simple. I NEEDED that. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much, dear!! Your video is exactly what I needed!!
Thanks this video was the best video I could find
Thank you so much for explaining the valves.
Thank you for clear and concise instructions
Thank you for such a great video!
Thank you! Your instructions were so helpful!👌🏽
Thank you for your help getting my instant pot set up. I didn’t know where to start
Thanks so much for this video. I was confused on the setting of the valve on the Instant Pot Duo Plus. Finally able to cook my first pot roast! 😊🙏

Very helpful thank you so much I didn't understand the phamplet
I have the 8 quart VIVA & I would like to know; is the red round sealer an extra?
Many thanks! Super helpful!
Thank you! So helpful! Way more than the instruction booklet ❤️
Thank you so much, your clear and step by step instruction was very helpful. After turning up my volume I could hear you just fine. :-)
I thought the audio was great, and even better then most. Great job!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for the simple and instructive demo.
Thank you for the simple illustration. The instructions with the unit was a bit confusing.
Tysm for this video. So happy I was able to set it up without my hubby’s help.
received one of these as a gift. thanks for this informative video
God bless you lady!
How long did it take for your pot to come to pressure? Mine is blowing steam around the float valve
Thank you! Thank you 😊.

Do you have to do the pressure cook before each cook?
Thank you so much easier to understand!
Very nice
Your video was helpful. Thank you
So when the metal thing goes down you can open the lid off of the pot it be safe right?
Thanks it was helpful.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you it is very help video. I am very confident start cooking .
Just unpacked - do we need to wash pots and valve efore initial test?
Always wash a new vessel before first use. No way of knowing what got on it in transit.
Can someone tell me why my cooker starts going up in numbers in the little display screen after it has reached and alerted the finished time I set it at?
Thank you for the demo. Only thing it was very hard to hear you!!
this was useful thank you
That’s all I needed to know! Thanks so much!!! ♥️
This might be a dumb question but does anyone know how to seal the pressure valve?
So when should we press the vent or will it do it automatically?
Uhhh, when you're done so steam doesn't burn your face lol
According to the "getting started guide" from Instant Pot, it says the natural release method "must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews ... as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains." So I'm guessing you can press the quick release if you are confident the food you are cooking does not fit into these categories AND you are in a rush

What does it mean to seal the steam release handle?
So how do you let it release naturally? And do you have to move anything on the top around to seal it before you pressure cook? And also how do you slow cook with out it pressure cooking bc I’ve seen other instapots have a option for venting and pressure
Great ty
How long did you have to wait for the timer to begin? I assume the timer comes on faster if you put down the button so its not venting air out?
Thank you so much
My pot will not jingle once i put the lid on. From the part where it says off and I then push the pressure cook button at bottom right. The lid error appears. It is a brand new pot and I have not been able to even do the initial test. Am i doing something wrong ?
I didn’t get that little plastic condensed water cup thingie in my box..does it matter?
I followed oyur steps and I still did not get steam out of the vent.. I am a beginner at cooking. I am a little lost.

That’s telling you how many minutes since your timer was finished.
There's a clear seal ring installed already in the lid and a red one. Which one do we use???? Both???
Either
Use one fir savory and one fir sweet
What do you do with the red ring? Where does that go?
That's an extra some people use it for dessert cooking as the rings can absorb odor
Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Thank you!!!
What is the red ring for
I think you are asking, “For what purpose is the red silicone gasket intended,” is that correct?
Where is the little turn knob supposed to be?
What's the difference between this duo nova and the instant pot?

@@usernamemykel kids don't visit you much, huh?
After I did the quick release, and removed the pan and cleaned it, replaced the lid, and the timer thing keeps going up...and up and up...help
I think you need to press cancel every time you finish cooking...otherwise it goes into a warm mode.
If my pot smells like burning plastic did I do something wrong
Mine did for the first few minutes.
It means that you tried to cook Easter eggs, not real eggs.

You won't over pressurise!!
Where does the little round red thing go?
In the lid, duh. It's a seal that doesn't bark or eat fish.
Mine didn't stop steaming, and I actually got a "burn" notification! Any advice?
Burn notification is a risk. It tells you that food or water content is burning inside. You should immediately shut down your instant pot to ensure that no head is provided. I think either you put less water or ran the Instant pot for longer time. Hope this helps!

“When you’re burned, you’ve got nothing - no cash, no credit, no job history...”
Hello I make everything you said and I did see any smoke

No that's just for special shit like warming up fucking baby bottles or steaming. It already has a seal on the lid.
