    Tip I learned in Korea, always add sesame oil when it's done as cooking it the flavor dulls down over that time, but adding it when it's done you get a good hit of the flavor.

    I was in the store yesterday and saw some short ribs that looked great. The sell-by date was the next day (today), so they were selling for less than 1/2 price. I wasn’t even sure what to do with them, but they looked so nice and the price was right, so I bought them. Then I remembered this video. I followed your recipe and they turned out fantastic! And I didn’t have an all-day cook going either. Keep the cooks coming, Sam!

      If you goto a grocery store. from my exp. about 1/2 hr after opening, you can find them starting to re price meat from previous day to 1/2 price or cheaper. Saves a ton of money. Make sure you are prepared to either cook right away or put in freezer.

    I was raised by a mom who instilled in me the "pressure cookers can blow up" thought process. Great! So I have never cooked with a pressure cooker. You may have helped me overcome the fear of pressure cooker/instant pot cooking. Thank you for this tutorial/experiment because I will try these recipes. All of them! Maybe not all on the same day :) but I will try each one. Thanks, Sam. I always like it when I watch something that I don't regret the time spent watching it afterward. That never happens with your videos. Sam, you are a chef/cook who is "just my cup of tea".

Added some liquid smoke and some fresh chopped chives, omitted the red pepper flakes but followed your video precisely otherwise. The meat fell off the bone. It shredded easier than any short rib I have slow smoked or Dutch oven cooked. Fantastic! I’m going to try the 3 cheese Mac and cheese with truffle oil next. You’re my cooking hero!

      I wondered what I did after watching this video. I use it maybe twice a week on avg for sauteing and slow cooking. So the first time I used it after the video I have no recollection as I was on auto pilot. The second time I found I used what I call my record deck grip. I just use my left hand lightly on the rim whilst using the spoon with the other. I wasn't even concious of it. It never gets hot either so I dunno why people are using silicone mitts or tea towels.

    Hey Sam. Great recipes. One thing with the instant pot I recently learned. When you hit sauté you can use the adjust button to select between low, medium and high essentially. The default is medium. So to brown a bit better you can adjust to high which is hotter.

      @pesto12601 2 года назад +7

      @FIIK Yeah.. I agree.. it is strange - because sometimes - it works really well... other times - it fails miserably to get hot enough. It also cools down VERY fast once you add a protein to sear... and, unlike a pan on the stove, doesn't pop back up to temp very fast thus liquids come out and then you can forget a strong sear.. By the way - it is InstanTpot.... they blew a marketing oppo by adding in the "T".. everyone calls it the instapot instead... but that is incorrect.

    The latest Instantpot version has tabs on the pot, with silicone handle, it locks the pot in place and makes it easy to remove the pot. Also, when doing starchy things like rice or pasta, do not do the full quick release in one go. Quick release for 10 seconds, stop for 10 seconds, quick release again for 10 seconds, stop, rinse, repeat until lid is ready to open. If you do the full release without that method, you will end up filling the release valve with starch, which will eventually completely block it.

      @@laurenadegoke6754 Not sure, I imagine there is a proven method. I do use a 1 part distilled vinegar to 3 parts hot water mixture to soak the entire inside of lid, once every month, turn the lid upside down in sink and pour in mixture, let soak for 15 minutes then thoroughly rinse out. That might work to help unclog it, if it ever becomes fully clogged. I just heard stories about others who made the mistake(I watched a bunch of user videos before I bought mine), so have avoided it.

      @@carrierichardson6619 As I understand it, the foodi is a multipurpose piece of kit, pressure cooker and air fryer. The air fryer lid does not come off but it flips up 90 degrees vertical. Then you can put on a pressure cooker lid, one that is removable. It has a pressure release knob that you could use a wooden spoon or something similar to rotate it from seal to release but not all the way until it locks in the release position, this way you could let it reseal after letting some pressure out and follow the pattern I mentioned in my OP.

    Hey Sam, with the chicken not browning as well when compared with the short ribs, it's because the chicken was diced into small pieces. When there is a lot of surface area of the meat being exposed like that, it tends to seep out more liquid during the cooking process, which prevents good browning. The short ribs browned up nicely because they were just big solid pieces. If you had just put one whole chicken breast in there and let it sit for a couple minutes and then flipped it, then you would have gotten better browning.

      @@bonniepwtf I noticed that. Even on low my sauté setting is a beast and it often causes things to stick/burn. Another thing I've noticed is that it absolutely HATES tomato sauce when pressure cooking, 9/10 it will switch off and warn it's burning when it's not. I think it's the consistency/thickness. I stick to saute for browning/cooking and slow cook when using a tomato base.

    I always hit the “keep warm” button which turns it off. It prevents a burn error. For pasta, I let it natural release for 5-10 min. to prevent starch water blowing out of the pot. If you press the soup button when you’re finished cooking, it begins to boil and then I add my slurry.

    Also! Believe it or not, pressure cooking rice actually works better than using the rice button. It helps to soak the rice for ~20mins but you don't have to. Pressure cook it on high for 3 minutes, then wait 10 minutes to release the pressure so the rice can absorb all the water. I get compliments all the time that my rice is the best they've ever eaten, that's how I do it :)

    One thing about the Instant Pot is that it will have a hot spot during the sautee process. Whenever I'm browning something, I make sure to give the inner pot a quarter turn or so when mixing the food around inside of it. If you don't do that, you risk scorching the bit of food that is over the hot spot, but also the inner pot and then you will have a burny taste to the food when it is all done cooking, and nobody wants that.
