works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzfaq.infoUgkxG-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)

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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.

Thank you for making a video short and sweet with lots of great information. Very much appreciated!

Great info Indigo Nili. I love the additional features you've added to your videos.

Very resourceful video. I just LOVED seeing those little hands picking up the egg pieces! so cute!

Thank you. Nice to see you again. Your videos are so good.

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've missed your posts, Nili! Family is growing fast!

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

I love your videos - always great info. Pasta, pinto beans, ribs, chicken, vegi steaming, so much fun to cook with Instant pot.

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.

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.

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.

Great list!! Thanks for the reminder. I need to be doing this. So easy and then you have food on hand!

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..

Great video! The instant pot is such a great addition to kitchen appliances 💜

Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I just got my first Instant Pot. Thanks for the video and all the ideas.

Thank you for all this info. Haven’t tried the pasta or potatoes yet but plan to. So great to “see” you!!

You are a creative cook!

Great tips! Always enjoy your videos. 👍😊

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!!😀

I like the way how you explain Bout the instant pot ,you so professionall

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.

Great video, Nili! I use your Instant Pot recipes and tips all the time!

Thank you for the great video! You are definitely the Instant Pot Rock Star! 🌟

wow that was great. clear concise and informative. thanks.

Thank you! You’ve helped me so much with my instant pot! ❤️

Great video, first time watching, I have subscribed. Incredibly informative, and to the point. Thanks so much.

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.

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.

I like that shelf underneath your cabinets. I'm gonna steal that idea.

Love this video. Great easy tips. Well explained!

Love this video. I used to use my instant pot everyday when I was vegan. But being vegan nearly killed me due to my insulin resistence. Now I'm doing keto which is really helping me, in 2.5 months I reversed the type 2 diabetes and dropped my triglicerides from 420 to 123!! But since I'm on keto I rarely use the instant pot....will have to find some keto dishes to make when it gets cooler. Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you so much. I will use the info you have here for sure.

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!

I do eggs every Sunday to have for breakfast. I hadn't thought about potatoes, thanks for those suggestions.

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.

Omg pasta game changer! Thank you!

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.

Sounds great, thanks for posting....

Yum I love having homemade broth love this idea thanks for video

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.

Wonderful and helpful video. Thank you.

Thanks for the tips and recipes 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯

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.

Good ideas!

Rice and Couscous is great when made with bone broth or veg broth in Pressure Cooker!

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.

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.

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.

I make lots of beans and lentils. They fall into that filling and cheap category.

Enjoyed your video!! Very helpful as I am a newbie!! Haven't even opened my instant pot from the box yet!! Much aloha, mililani 😘

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!

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!

Our favorite rice is also Jasmine!! Instant Pot makes it perfect!! I gotta do the boiled eggs!! 😊😊

I cook the Salsa Chicken alot at the house. I and taco seasoning and fresh cilantro in mine and shred.

I just made the pasta tonight. I used to cook my noodles separately-but never again! It turned out delicious! Thanks Nili:)

Thanks for sharing.

Great video thank you.

Those potato wedges look amazing

Would love to see more videos on potatoes... pasta, rice and thighs are musts every week for me...

I cook soups, chili beans, roast and different vegetables.

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!

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

Mexican Rice, every week. It's just so good!

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.

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. 😎 👍 😁

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.

Great vlog.

awesome.. thank you

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

I like making BBQ spare ribs. In the IP for 35 minutes and Broil in oven for 5 minutes. :)

Sweet potatoes, rice, greens and egg are our weekly staples.

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!

Would appreciate demonstrations along with your instruction.

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.

Ty for pasta recipe

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!

Everything I do in my i.p I learned from you. Thank you.

im really loving that monkey bowl you used for the rice

Very cool. I'll try cooking in a stainless steel pot or steamet

Thank you for the advice. I didn't quite catch the cooking time for the potatoes?

you speak very well without any paper kudo!

Stevie Willett-Shaw 1 second ago 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...

Great info

Have you seen the new mealthy lid. You can use it to make your instant pot like an air fryer.

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.

Yum we love pasta 😋

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

have you tried the nutriboost setting for broth? How was it, did you notice a difference?

I make the pasta and meat or meatballs And i am going to start your Oatmeal recipe

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.

I was laughing about the 1 is boiling eggs, but then I saw there's lot of eggs, I take back my laugh immediately

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.

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.

I want to start Steal cut oats not sure how long but I will experiment
