works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
Steel Cut Oats. Toast 1 cup oats in 1 Tablespoon butter, add 3 1/2 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt. PC 10 min, NR minutes, stir, cool and refrigerate. 4 breakfasts for me. ( Fat keeps it from foaming over)
This was very helpful. My mother cooked with what was known as a “pressure cooker” ( for the young ‘uns) every week for Sunday dinners. She stayed ahead of the game having 8 kids coming home hungry after church. She bought me an instant pot 7 years ago and it’s still in the box unopened! My son is so smart he bought one for Christmas and has been using it already. I will pass your video on! Thanks for sharing and everyone’s tips.
I eat almost no carbs, so my favourite things to cook regularly are: brisket (so good!), beef heart, beef tongue (delicious!), ribs (finish quickly under the broiler), whole chicken, bone broth, eggs. I've found that rice doesn't bother my gut like other carbs, so I do cook rice, but I still don't eat very much. I also rinse my rice really well, soak 2 cups overnight with 2-3 T of buckwheat groats to reduce the phytic acid (you can't taste the buckwheat in the cooked rice), discard the soaking water and rinse really well again. This reduces the amount of arsenic by about 82%. Some ice doesn't have as much arsenic as others. You can read about that online. You can also cook rice just like pasta in 5-6 times as much water as rice... and NO that does NOT make mushy rice. It's a very common way to cook rice in India. There are RUclips videos on how to do that. It also helps reduce the arsenic. Children, especially babies take in more arsenic than adults because of their size, so please rinse rice that you plan to feed your baby and avoid things like rice cakes and rice baby cereal. There's lots of research online that you can check. In Canada, one consumer agency did a whole TV show on various rice-based baby food products and it was scary how much arsenic was in them. They also tested both moms and babies, and the babies had significantly more arsenic in their bodies than the moms.
Great Northern beans. We love 'em for everything. In fact, what I do is... Take the remnants of Costco rotisserie chicken, and make a broth (20 minutes, w/ quick release), piece apart the cooked chicken and set aside. Use the broth to cook the dried Great Northern beans (26 minutes, quick release), and then make my soup from combining the leftover chicken, a chopped onion, a bunch of spices (lots of sage, thyme, black pepper, bay leaves, etc) on another 5 minutes w/ quick release. So, with only about an hour of total time, I've got the BEST leftovers imaginable.
I'm from the south and we are enjoying fresh veggies cooked in the instapot. Green beans that always took so long to cook on the stove only takes a few minutes now. Also purple hull peas! I'm loving it. Not heating the stove up is a real plus.. You made me want to get the bones out of the freezer and make the broth😊. My DH and I are diabetics so we can't have the potatoes and rice😔.. I always enjoy your videos..
I use mine to make Chili! I usually soak the beans in the pot with a silicone lid and transfer them to a bowl beforehand. Then the saute feature does wonders with garlic, onions, and meat. Since it's hard to overcook beans I find their texture nearly perfect every time.
Thank you for making a video short and sweet with lots of great information. Very much appreciated!
Very resourceful video. I just LOVED seeing those little hands picking up the egg pieces! so cute!
Eggs and my husband and I love hot cereal ,steel cut oat meal and I don’t have to stand there and stir & stir & stir for 25 or 30 mins it comes out great every time and blueberries thrown in is an added bonus .. but I cook in my instant pot a lot thru the week . Tonight my hubby wasn’t feeling very well he said I just want tomato soup and grill cheese sandwich. So I had a bunch of tomatoes and basil and an onion & garlic from garden ..I thru together a delicious homemade tomato basil soup. I had never done it before took 4 mins in the instant pot. I 💖my instant pot
Everyone! Please wash your rice very well. I just learned that many rice varieties have arsenic in them...some natural some not. Washing doesn't remove it all, but it helps. Children especially vulnerable.
I make lots of beans and lentils. They fall into that filling and cheap category.
Austin How long for lentils would you say?
Very informative video. I like to make a big pot of chicken and rice. I put individual servings in quart size freezer bags and freeze them for later.
@@ReikiontheRun This is the recipe I used. Easy and tasty. ruclips.net/video/VVx3BNACdmw/видео.html
Thanks for the potato idea i hadn’t thought to air fry them after cooking, i don’t do many potatoes since i don’t use many steam potatoes..
My every week food : hard cooked eggs, pasta but not with red sauce, usually dairy and cheese, i cook a lot of Indian dishes and so use the pot in pot method for rice. Instant pot makes a killer keema biryani.
Thanks so much for this video. Your explanations are clear, concise and easy to follow. You don't seem intimidated by your appliance at all! I'll be checking back often.
Thanks to you, I finally cooked eggs in my IP. My son loves egg salad sandwiches. I was amazed at how “clean” the salad looked w/o that greenish color around the yolks. I cook the pasta every week and will start pre-cooking my potatoes this weekend. This time, I’m going to brown the pasta cheese w/ my Mealthy Crisp Lid. (Again, thanks to you).
You’ve become my Instant Pot mentor.
OsakaRose I’m very happy with it. It’s very safe when you pay attention and fun to see your food browning. (I also like not heating kitchen with my oven in this heat)
I now cook dried beans (or just make chili) almost every week. I never cooked dried beans until I bought my Instant Pot. We also eat eggs all week long.
How long do you cook dried beans? I don't know how to make them in the IP.
@granny grumbles I like my beans really soft. I cook for 10 minutes high pressure(this replaces soaking over night) empty the water, then refill water and cook for 60 more minutes. I usually forget about them so I natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes. Start to finish with coming to pressure and release times it is less than 2 hours. But they come out super soft. I have done this with 2 pounds of beans in my 6 qt without any issues.
@@grannygrumbles4119 I just made a full 6qt IP of chili with beans. The recipe is on RUclips and in this recipe, it called for 45 minutes on manual- high heat. I think I would bump it to 50 minutes next time. Let it cool a while before releasing the pressure as the pot is very full. There was 2 cups of pintos in the recipe... hope this helps
@@grannygrumbles4119 I like to cook about half a pound in 5 cups of water on manual for 45 min.
@@donnastratton8397 Thank you!
Minestrone, lasagna, all types of beans, spaghetti squash, vegetable soups and rice pudding. I'd make cheesecake every week but we don't need all the extra calories, however that is my favorite of all the IP foods to eat.
Thanks for your videos. They have helped me tremendously. Still looking for some good egg ideas - not the little egg bites but something omelet or along those lines.
My son cooks sweet potatoes every week and I cook spinach or other dark greens and eggs every week. I refer back to your pasta video whenever I make pasta you give me the confidence to know I can do this.
This is great! This covers the top reasons why I got an instant pot! This will be a good video to refer back to for the basics. Thank you!
I like the way how you explain Bout the instant pot ,you so professionall
I just got my first Instant Pot. Thanks for the video and all the ideas.
Fantastic ideas I never thought of, could you please do a video on your weekly things you cook in your airfryer.
All the best from not so sunny England. 😎 👍 😁
Great idea! Thanks! 👌
I do quite a bit of ground beef, frozen on a trivet so fats go into the water, then season it up for what ever dish I plant to make. Or chicken for sandwiches, salads, whatever we want to eat for meals etc.
Thank you for all this info. Haven’t tried the pasta or potatoes yet but plan to. So great to “see” you!!
I haven't tried pasta in mine yet either but have done potatoes and turned out great
Thank you for the great video! You are definitely the Instant Pot Rock Star! 🌟
🤩🤩🤩
Great video! The instant pot is such a great addition to kitchen appliances 💜
I've missed your posts, Nili!
Family is growing fast!
Great info Indigo Nili. I love the additional features you've added to your videos.
We do a lot of hard boiled eggs, sweet potatoes and brown rice. I also cook chicken breasts in it for casseroles etc. We will definitely try that pasta soon!
I still cant master the brown rice :( any tip?
2 cups brown rice, 2 1/2 cups water, 15 minutes, natural release - hope that helps Leyda!
I love your videos - always great info. Pasta, pinto beans, ribs, chicken, vegi steaming, so much fun to cook with Instant pot.
Thank you. Nice to see you again. Your videos are so good.
Rinsing rice depends on the type of rice and also the brand. Some is pre-rinsed. I rinse Jasmine and Basmati rice. Lots of starch on them.
I cook the Salsa Chicken alot at the house. I and taco seasoning and fresh cilantro in mine and shred.
I do eggs every Sunday to have for breakfast. I hadn't thought about potatoes, thanks for those suggestions.
Thanks, and I need to suggest for healthy non fly away frizzled hair put 1teaspoon or tablespoon of Oils- mustard oil or apricot or blended oils, and best is Argon Oil
on hands and then with fingers spread it through the hair. It’ll end frizzle, improve hair health and make happy hair!
Cold start yogurt. It is so much better to me than store bought. Risotto or Spanish rice with Arborio rice and the things you mentioned along with beans or chickpeas.
The point of rinsing rice is to remove residual dirt, and remove some of the starch (white water is starch being removed). You won’t die or anything just cooking rice out the bag. If you’re like me and don’t like a ton of starch in your diet, you’ll want to rinse rice 2-3 times, and soak potatoes...
On pasta, replace water with chicken broth for added flavor and a thicker finished sauce. It’s delicious!
Mexican Rice, every week. It's just so good!
@@disisdkat
1 Cup - White Rice
1 Cup - Water
4 oz - Tomato Sauce
3 tsp - Knorr's Caldo de Tomate Bouillon
4 tsp - Veg Oil
Sauté rice in oil until lightly browned.
Set heat to 'Normal'/'Low Pressure', add all ingredients, stir.
Cook 8 minutes, then 'Natural Release' for 13 minutes.
Release remaining steam, and enjoy!!!
* you might want to add/subtract how much of the bouillon you put in(sodium levels)
Would appreciate demonstrations along with your instruction.
My three favorites to make...
TEXMEX... pulled chicken breasts with taco seasoning, mixed veggies, cut okra and seasoning veggies. Everything goiles in frozen and comes out yummy. Top with Avacado!
ITALIAN... chicken, onion, cut green beans, small/cut red potatoes, garlic, italian seasoning
HARVEST... butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, green apple, purple onion, pumpkin pie spice and afterwards use the submersible blender after and top with bacon crumbles

Like to suggest sautee-ing the "meat" with onions/garlic or their powders with oil. I would not cook the meat completely, just a quick sear, for flavor. Remove with slotted spoon. Add the other ingredients, and put the meat on top of the marinara, then add the uncooked pasta and proceed from their. This saves a step, saves cleanup and adds flavor from the sautee fond...
One of the things I miss on my 3qt IP is that the numbers on the inside of my pot. I love that for making rice since I use the rice cup and I don’t want to get it wet. I usually just hit the rice button when I make rice. Easy and simple and is perfect every time.
I miss that too! They took that feature off of all the sizes cause it was confusing to people (understandably) but I loved it!
Yum I love having homemade broth love this idea thanks for video
I just made the pasta tonight. I used to cook my noodles separately-but never again! It turned out delicious! Thanks Nili:)
Great video! Thank you.
I, too, cook eggs for the week and bone broth. I am a carnivore so lots of meat and egg meals. Egg pudding is the best!
Great list!! Thanks for the reminder. I need to be doing this. So easy and then you have food on hand!
I was laughing about the 1 is boiling eggs, but then I saw there's lot of eggs, I take back my laugh immediately
You have video sense. Info- no bull. Thanks
Thanks! 😁
Sweet potatoes, rice, greens and egg are our weekly staples.
Thank you for the tips! I've never made eggs in the steam basket, but I'm definitely going to try it. I've never attempted to cook a pot in pot recipe either. I have adapted Pioneer Woman's white chicken chili for Instant Pot and I was making that every week, but now it's not agreeing with me lately. I'm so bummed! I need some new weekly favorites! 😊 I have 3 teenage boys and two girls and large meals are so much easier to make in my 8 quart instead of getting two casserole dishes dirty.
Any ideas to tame teens appetite??
@@lvlc5 No clue! :-D We go through almost 10 gallons of milk per week! :O
You might try the method of covering the beans with at least 2" of water, bring to pressure for 0 (1 if it won't do 0) minutes and let sit an hour. Then rinse beans and pressure cook as you normally would. You can also let them soak a day but you need to change the water a few times.
@@disisdkat Thank you!
You are a creative cook!
I like making BBQ spare ribs. In the IP for 35 minutes and Broil in oven for 5 minutes. :)
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Washing the rice don’t make it taste different it is just to get the extra starch out of the rice that’s why people rinse the rice till the water is clear. And also people wash it to get the little debris out.
SAHM With a Plan - I tried the no-wash method once, and it resulted in a webby stickiness between the grains from all the starch. Yuck. I always wash it till the water runs clear (or close to clear) now.
Great video! It looks like you steamed the potatoes for 15 minutes? I've never tried that. So I love to make pinto beans, ostensibly for refried beans, but the broth is so good, we've been eating it as soup. 1# dried pinto beans, 32oz broth (I like Trader Joe's low sodium if I don't have homemade), 3-4 cups water, minced garlic and jalapeño, diced onion, cumin, oregano, s&p. 30 min pressure, natural release.
Rice and Couscous is great when made with bone broth or veg broth in Pressure Cooker!
Would love to see more videos on potatoes... pasta, rice and thighs are musts every week for me...
Have you seen the new mealthy lid. You can use it to make your instant pot like an air fryer.
Yes! I've made some videos using it. It's great. 😄
Nili, thanks for sharing that! I never thought about cooking potatoes in my instant pot. Well actually, I forgot I had an instant pot because it's a different shape. It's not exactly like yours trauma but I can still do the same things in it. I like the ideas about the potatoes. Thanks for sharing!
Your awesome !!! Thx again. I’m using my 8 quart instant pot more often now. Best thing I’ve bought next to my cast iron. Thanks for your videos!!😀
Great video, first time watching, I have subscribed. Incredibly informative, and to the point. Thanks so much.
Cool egg rack, I only got instant pot recently and video of what I made is posted ,I gotta make more stuff in it roast rocks in it yum we love rice will have to try rice in it soon thanks for informative video have a great week
I make the pasta and meat or meatballs And i am going to start your Oatmeal recipe
I cook soups, chili beans, roast and different vegetables.
Great tips! Always enjoy your videos. 👍😊
I usually cook a couple of chicken breasts every week. I use them for sandwiches or to top a baked potato or tacos. Just for lots of things! Great video! THX
Yummy
wow that was great. clear concise and informative. thanks.
I like that shelf underneath your cabinets. I'm gonna steal that idea.
Whether it's my Instapot or a regular pot on the stove, I never cook my rice without at least ONE of these things: a chicken leg/thigh combo or broth or my own spice mix. My spice mix consists of equal parts onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cracked black pepper and turmeric. It's been years since I've eaten just plain white rice. If I don't have any broth, I just shove a chicken leg/thigh (frozen or not) into the pot for instant flavor. Thanks for the video...😀
Try adding chicken feet to your rice, get instant bone broth with your rice.
@@lisachapman6492 Now, this is interesting, I've never eaten a chicken foot but if it makes tasty rice I'm willing to try it. Thank you for the info!
I make chicken breast for salads, dried black beans for salads. I tried making rice, but it turned out sticky. I like your idea of the pot in pot. I have the inserts and will give it a try. Thanks for sharing Nili. I always enjoy watching your videos for new ideas.
Betty, my rice turned out sticky also, so per another Utube, I increased the water to 1- 1/4. Perfect rice. Rita
It's Sunday today so I made clotted cream yesterday to go with scones for tea. I will use the whey off my Greek yogurt to make scones.
I usually use the egg trivet for my eggs. Love it so. I also make potatoes often and it's great to have leftover potatoes. I also make pasta at least 1-2x a week in the IP.. This week I made carbonara one night and noodles for stir fry another night. I adore all 3 of my IP.
She didn't say how long she cooked the potatoes in the I.P. we don't eat a lot of potatoes but when I buy them they go bad before I use them all. I never thought of cooking them ahead and freezing them, brilliant!
Cooking time for potatoes depends on their size. Medium sized one like in the video take about 15 minutes 😁
Thank you! You’ve helped me so much with my instant pot! ❤️
Thanks for the tips and recipes 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯
you speak very well without any paper kudo!
Our favorite rice is also Jasmine!! Instant Pot makes it perfect!! I gotta do the boiled eggs!! 😊😊
Enjoyed your video!! Very helpful as I am a newbie!! Haven't even opened my instant pot from the box yet!! Much aloha, mililani 😘
Wonderful and helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I will use the info you have here for sure.
You showed a picture of your oven roasted potatoes, how do you get them so golden brown??
In this video I show my roasted potatoes technique: ruclips.net/video/FuZNpu5SBto/видео.html 😁
My weekly staple is yogurt. I strain it to obtain a Greek style yogurt. I have more whey than I can use!
I want to start making my own yoghurt
Ami Go ahead, it’s very easy. Just follow the recipe on the Instant Pot app.
I make chicken salad every week so I do my chicken breasts in pressure cooker, 8 minutes, so easy.
Great video, Nili! I use your Instant Pot recipes and tips all the time!
im really loving that monkey bowl you used for the rice
Hi Nili! I haven't seen any of your videos in quite a long time. Well, somehow my bell notification was changed😒
So glad I found the error.
Great video thank you.
Good ideas!
Quick corn on the cob.
Season (I like garlic salt), place on trivet with a cup of water in pot. Pressure 3 min + QR
Delish!
Sounds great, thanks for posting....
Those potato wedges look amazing
Omg pasta game changer! Thank you!
I would love to see ideas and quantities for the 3 qt IP.
Her video on adjusting recipes for mini: ruclips.net/video/3Wy2uZh9-Ao/видео.html
She has a video on accessories for the 3qt as well, but I don't have the link handy.
Love this video. Great easy tips. Well explained!
Great inspiration, thanks! I need to start doing a bunch of eggs for the week too. Haven't frozen potatoes in eons. Mine always come out with a yucky grainy texture, boo!
Deviled eggs, oh yeah!
Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. I'll try cooking in a stainless steel pot or steamet
awesome.. thank you
