I have the 3 Qt Instant Pot and had not used it since buying it over a year and a half ago, and also have accessories which I purchased over 6 months ago and just took them out and cleaned them all up and boiled some eggs and they was cooked perfectly. Your video was very educational and new users will appreciate the information you gave us.
Well done! One thing that I think is worth mentioning is that you should not manually release the pressure when you are cooking things like beans, noodles, rice, etc. The contents will come splattering out with the steam. In those cases, let the pressure gradually go down on its own.
Thanks Olga- lm doing research into the instant pot versus a crock pots before purchase. Your info has been really helpful- especially liked the extra seal tips. 🌟
Very nice presentation this video should help the new owners of the instant pot. The instant pot is not like your grandma's pressure cooker it's very safe and convenient.
Making hard boiled eggs is the best-many years ago I was making stuffed eggs for work and the shells wouldn’t come off, I had to get more eggs. Love this feature ❤ I’d buy it just for hard boiled eggs!
Hi Olga. Just found your channel and subscribed. I bought the 6 qt. Instant Pot last winter, but chose to get serious with warmer weather. We are rural/farming folks. I tend to use my kitchen wood stove and gas stove to cook and heat up the kitchen on cold days.That said, I like the concept of the electric pressure cooker, so I am giving it try and appreciate your channel and tips. Please keep them coming! Thank you. Diane- Hersey Farm-East Andover, New Hampshire.
Thanks for the easy to understand instructions, Olga! Do you speak Russian? If so, could you please make an Instant Pot for Beginner in the Russian language? I have not been able to find the instruction manual in Russian. Thank you!
I put my boiled eggs in fridge still in shell covered with water . So easy to pell and fridge life should be 3 + longer. Peel as you are ready to have one.
Excellent presentation - clear and concise explanations!!! Thank you very much. Recently we started using Instant Pot and find it amazingly useful. It's time to feed a new hungry subscriber:-) Stay connected...
Can I safely add a teaspoon of extract to the 1 cup of water for the bottom of the pot when baking a cake or might the alcohol in the extract cause problems? Will it add flavor to the cake? What if I used a real alcohol, like rum. Would it add flavor to the cake?. I am enjoying your video and your cheery disposition. Many thanks! for your sharing your education with us!
This video was great. I love how you went into details with how to use the buttons and how to properly vent. What some other videos are missing. Also.. when I tried cooking with mine it kept saying BURN. What does that mean, please?
@@OlgasFlavorFactory LOL. That was definitely a thought. I ended up cooking oxtails for like 3 hours instead of 1. Ugh.... I'm making a whole chicken in there tonight. Thank you so much for your response. Am a subbie now. 😁
Put in water first, then oats ,don't add sugar or raisins as they stick to the bottom of the bowl. Turn it off if it says burn, vent it and open and wait.
Could someone please clear this up for me -- so for the eggs you put in on 5 minutes, or do you have to add time for it to seal, so it's actually more? Also, do you ave to adjust the heat level, or should it be n the highest? Thanks!
Information is very clear. Thanks for the info. One problem - the link to the sealing rings doesn't work. What was the name brand of sealing rings you purchased on Amazon?
Great video and suggestion with spare sealing rings. (I've been cleaning mine with a touch of white vinegar but will by some.) Like an idiot, me, an experienced cook, poured the liquids TWICE into the inner container not the stainless steel container!
I just received my 6-quart instapot. There is not a manual button on mine. The button says delay start where you have a manual button. I wish I had the manual. Of course they had to change it up. Delay start is not the same as manual so how can I do the manual operation? Thank you.
Hi Shannon. My Instant Pot is an older version. The Manual option is used as an all purpose option. Newer models have a "Pressure Level" option that you can use for the same function.
Hi Olga, thank you for the great video. I bought Express Pot 14-in-1 Multi-Cooker Electric Pressure Cooker. Is it actually an instant pot? All these names are so confusing! haha
I am a nubees I just got mine for christmas ^^^^ So I am gonna learn it first as much as I can Hihihihihihi I think I am gonna love this 👆🏽👀🙌🏽🌹🦋🌹🕊🌎🕊🎈🎈🎈
@@elainemcintyre1114 They don't turn green if cooked a certain way. That is from the start in cold water. As soon as the water begins to boil, turn of the heat and leave the eggs in there 45 min. This only works with an electric stove that retains heat after being turned off.
Thank you Olya! I've just purchased IP Instant Pot 60 DUO Plus (2017 made). However, I noticed that there is a newer version - Duo Nova (2019), that has an instant sealing lid and extra sealing ring. I am so new to it and was wondering if it make sense to exchange the purchased one for an updated version? What would you say? Amazon is really good at exchanging now. Thank you.
Good tutorial for beginners. My instant pot looks just like the one in this video but there is no manual setting. Is the pressure button the same as using manual?
@@OlgasFlavorFactory yes...me too...and I learned a tip...when putting the IP away...don't close the lid...turn it upside down so that the sealing ring is exposed to the air while it is waiting to be used again. This was a great help in reducing the ring odour.
What happens when you don’t hear the music when opening the lid, is it closing properly or am I not secure with a close lid? I have not use, still trying to understand!!!
I personally don’t usually don’t start cooking meat while it’s still frozen, unless I’m making broth. In my opinion, it’s a lot more flavorful if it’s thawed, and also seared first.
The best video out there for the beginners ❤

Just a heads up. To keep your sealing ring odor free just soak it in some baking soda & warm water for about 30 minutes.
Thank you for the video! I love the fact that you are actually cooking not just talking with a pot next to you.

Thank You so much for the set-by-set tutorial. I appreciate it.
Thank you for such a clear tutorial on the Instant Pot.
Thank you. This has been the best instruction I've seen yet!
I love watching her! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you, Olga! I bought mine about a month ago and have been so intimidated by it that I've yet to use it. :) Eggs look amazing!
absolutely clear and wonderful, appreciated her enthusiasm! Very helpful.
Thank you! This video was helpful without a bunch of extraneous ramblings.

Thanks for the guidance to use this instant pot. I purchased one and have been struggling with it usage.
very Nice - awesome video - thanks for making this video
Thanks for deviled eggs suggestion. Just getting to know my pot 💃🏻
Great video!!
Excellent presentation - clear and concise explanations!!! Thank you very much. Recently we started using Instant Pot and find it amazingly useful. It's time to feed a new hungry subscriber:-) Stay connected...
AKitchenAdvisor there was no explanation on which pressure to use, what happens if you use too high of a pressure for too long
Thank you for sharing the boiling eggs! ❤️👍
Nicely done. Thanks.
Just purchased a pot. Would love some recipes.
Very helpful. Ive been struggling to see how to use it. The manual was not helpful at all. Thank you.

Penny Christian Hi Penny!
If it says Burn, it means you’re not using enough liquid, and the bottom of the inner chamber if the Instant Pot is burning.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory LOL. That was definitely a thought. I ended up cooking oxtails for like 3 hours instead of 1. Ugh.... I'm making a whole chicken in there tonight. Thank you so much for your response. Am a subbie now. 😁

@Victoria Burdett yes I agree and she is the only YT channel I've seen to share about the odor in the sealing ring.
Information is very clear. Thanks for the info. One problem - the link to the sealing rings doesn't work. What was the name brand of sealing rings you purchased on Amazon?
Thanks, Olga! I hardly use mine because I just don’t know how to use it well! Xo
I hope this will help you get some use from it.
thank you!
Thank you! Can you make more videos using instant pot?
Love thos idea with the eggs, gotta try. Thanks so much.
Nice introductory. What is wrong when the steam comes out continuously?
My Instant Pot DUO doesn't have a manual button. what pressure did you cook the eggs on? low or high?
Thank you. Could you make a playlist of instant pot videos? I’d find that helpful.
Great video and suggestion with spare sealing rings. (I've been cleaning mine with a touch of white vinegar but will by some.)
Like an idiot, me, an experienced cook, poured the liquids TWICE into the inner container not the stainless steel container!
You are so cute and I love the way you showed me how to use my new Instant Pot.
Now, go and cook some food in your instant pot, instead of "cooking" her image in your mind! Lol!
I was advised that it’s unsafe to cover the steam release with a towel, as well as causing damage to the lid.
Can you cook a pot roast or a butterball turkey breast in the instant pot??
So is it 5 minutes the heat that is and 5 minutes to cook the eggs?
Great video 😊
Thanks Olga. Can't wait to try cooking some eggs
Good job
Thanks so much ❤️💖👌
good job
How to you make real pasta sauce and meatballs start to finish ? . Ty 👍😁👌 , Sharon
I am New using the instant pot and I do not have A button that says manual. Mine says delete start? Where are you were pointing to your manual button?
Can you roast abreast of chicken in the pot
Steaming Basket: Will the top (bakelight) black handle melt in the IP due to the high pressure and steam?

Why I cannot close my Insatant pot?. Any special al tips?
Can you presser fry in this.
It was one of the best presentation on insta pot. Olga on the suate mode do we have to stir the ingredients or just leave it and do we close the lid ?
Sorry hit the wrong thumb button I like the video thankU
Hi Olga, thank you for the great video. I bought Express Pot 14-in-1 Multi-Cooker Electric Pressure Cooker. Is it actually an instant pot? All these names are so confusing! haha
Instant Pot is a brand name for an electric pressure cooker. Looking at a photo of your Express Pot, the answer is yes.
@@lorrainehofmann7241 oh thank you!
My pot is stuck in my basket. Any tips on how to loosen?
I am a nubees I just got mine for christmas ^^^^ So I am gonna learn it first as much as I can Hihihihihihi I think I am gonna love this 👆🏽👀🙌🏽🌹🦋🌹🕊🌎🕊🎈🎈🎈
I just got mine takes forever to get pressure I don’t get all those videos on here I pressed soup am I suppose to press pressure first then soup
Our instant pot has no manual button, it has pressure level ,so I use pressure level instead of manual? Confused.
Jean Hatfield me too 😢
Duo model has pressure cook ( bottom right) and I think it is lux that has manual. Six sisters is also a good site. Hope this helps
Olga do you have a recipe for low fat ricotta cheese also low fat youghurt
Egg shells come of smoothly aswell if you leave the eggs to cool off completely and peal them the next day.

@alex Goodmornin - my IP came with one clear and one red sealing ring. Colors are not bad, I guess
Great presentation. Which model are you showing? It shows a manual setting which I would prefer. Thank you.
Fran Smith I bought exactly the same from her blog www.olgasflavorfactory.com
Good tutorial for beginners. My instant pot looks just like the one in this video but there is no manual setting. Is the pressure button the same as using manual?
Yes
Is there a special way of cleaning the lid? On the inside?
I just use dish soap and a regular kitchen sponge.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory yes...me too...and I learned a tip...when putting the IP away...don't close the lid...turn it upside down so that the sealing ring is exposed to the air while it is waiting to be used again. This was a great help in reducing the ring odour.
Can you do canning with mason jar
What happens when you don’t hear the music when opening the lid, is it closing properly or am I not secure with a close lid? I have not use, still trying to understand!!!
Can you use oil in the ip? To make fried chicken
Is it possible to start a chuck steak while frozen?
I personally don’t usually don’t start cooking meat while it’s still frozen, unless I’m making broth. In my opinion, it’s a lot more flavorful if it’s thawed, and also seared first.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory Thanks very much, Olga! Your video is the best one yet!
