an instant pot and an air fryer definitely have a place in a small kitchen without a built in oven with hob, would be great for students and temporary living accommodation and single people like myself. steaming chicken portions and beef joint is Great too, you can release pressure half way through and add potatoes or veg or you could saute with onions before pressurising and then use them for onion gravy which I did at Christmas

The main draw for an Instant Pot vs other electric pressure cookers is that they use a stainless pot. The non stick coating in the other ones can scratch and degrade over time. it is really great for a "dump and go" type of meal. Easy meal - dump in dry pasta of your choice, 1 jar of sauce (once emptied add water into the jar the sauce came out of put the lid back on, shake and then pour out into the pot) add in frozen chicken breasts and if you want some frozen veg. Cook on the pasta setting and use the natural release. Open, add some shredded cheese - stir - and enjoy. Also lentil soup - dry lentils, chicken broth (or veg broth if vegan) and spices.. in about 30 min you will be eating the most amazing soup. It is the best rice cooker. I have an air fryer and pressure cooker and now the stove is just used for things I want to cook in a fry pan ;)

@mrbarrylewis The Instant Pot used as a slow cooker is terrible, IMO. A slow cooker cooks from the sides and the bottom, but the Instant Pot only cooks from the bottom. So even though it can cook something slowly for 6 hours, because it only cooks from the bottom, the cooking is very uneven, whereas, in a Crockpot (slow cooker), the cooking is cooked evenly all around.

Once the ribs are cooked, I empty out the liquid and use the air fryer basket and lid to add some colour to the ribs. Then I brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and air fry them a second time.

Despite the scary stories from the '70's about pea soup all over the ceiling etc, I have been using an old school pressure cooker for around 25 years but have recently replaced it with a multi-cooker that does the same thing and more. Pea and ham soup with dried split peas and a ham hock plus some carrots is always awesome. Risotto is great and steamed puddings are just like grandma used to make. Save a lot of time. I don't use oven gloves and tongs, just push the pressure valve round with a wooden spoon

One of my favorite things to cook in my Instant Pot are actually boiled eggs. 1 cup of cold water, and however many eggs you want, pressure cook on low for 1 minute (plus warm-up time, of course), and then let the pot naturally release for one minute, and you get _properly_ runny-yolk soft-boiled eggs. If you want it firmer, just leave it for longer. Just an extra half-minute to a minute will do wonders. I've also had fun playing around with sous vide in it, since my cooker does have a sous vide function. Still, I've done risotto in it, and I will also use it to cook steamed veggies, and steel-cut oats. I've actually got a pudding basin, which I'll use with the steamer rack so that I can cook the oats in their own milk with the sugar and all of the other add-ins that I'm after. It's a wonderful piece of kitchen kit.

I LOVE my Ninja Foodi. Same concept as thr instant pot. Had one since 2016 and use it multiple times a week for myriad of things. My fav is being able to take a pot roast from our deep freezer and know that we'll be able to be sitting down to a full meal in just over an hour 1/2 or so. Whereas in the past i would have needed to cook that thing low and slow in the Le Creuset in the oven for multiple hours. Also... They make silicone cake pans specifically for the instant pot/ninja foodi that really help with that burning on the bottom. We also EXCLUSIVELY use or Foodi for making hard boiled eggs!! Perfection every single time. The 5-5-5 method hasnt failed us ever!! We love this thing so much we decided to get one for the lake house 😂 now THAT one has a yogurt setting.It's a larger capacity one with more options than our one here at home BUT the options were things hubby i liked and want to use once he retires and we're moved out to the lake house permanently haha. Noe i just need to stsrt using THAT one more to learn its options snd functions 🙌🫶 These appliances, no matter the brand, definitely have made cooking a lot more convenient, thats for sure.

Hi barry, sausages are called bangers because during the WW2 with rationing they were bulked out with breadcrumbs and water. Which would then explode. Today unless you are buying absurdly cheap sasages you dont ever need to pirece them. Also you NEVER need to pierce anything in a pressure cooker as due to the very nature of it being a pressure vessel things inside cannot explode. That said with meats it is better to let it naturally release pressure as it stops the meat from losing moisure as sudden drop in pressure causes the internal water to evaporate. Kind of like how freeze drying draws out the moisture 👍

Take a packet of supermarket own savoury rice (not the microwave one) dumped in with water, frozen stir fry veg and either frozen vegan chicken pieces/ meat balls or shelf stable soya chunks and a few herbs and spices (depending on my mood) thrown in. Stick in one for 15 minutes and it’s great. Takes less than 1minute to prepare but it’s healthy, filling and tasty. Plus all the ingredients are long life items I always have on hand.

We do our brisket roasts in our pressure cooker, and they are to-die-for! We put the whole roast in there with a cup of water (or stock), some onion slices, garlic cloves, other herbs and seasoning to taste for around 40 minutes, and then onto a grill rack and into the preheated oven on high grill setting for another 5-10 minutes. You can also run a skewer or knife through the roast a few times before putting it in the pressure cooker to help the seasoning to penetrate deep into the meat.

Also important: Some recipes will specifically state to use slow/instant release or if the release option doens't matter. The slow release includes an extra 15minute of slow cooking. So if you're instant releasing it, your food could still be raw/uncooked. So if you find a recipe online for the pressure cooker and the cooking time is very short (15-30mins) they usually add the slow release for an additional 15mins of cooking.

pressure cookers only explode if the safety valve is faulty or not working correctly. Even with the valve closed they should automatically release excess pressure once they reach the safe limit, so they don't blow up. But as with anything with valves, as it's used and age, the valve will become less reliable. I have no idea if there exist pressure cookers where it's possible to service the valve, but it's one of those thing where they recommend replacing the whole appliance after X amount of time to ensure it's safe to use.

I don't know if you could do this with the Insta-pot, but I've worked in restaurants where they have broasters - essentially large pressure cookers filled with oil to do mass orders of fried chicken. The pressure cooking does make a difference, getting you a juicy fried chicken breast with crispy skin in 3-4 minutes. Again, I don't know if you could do this in the Insta-Pot, but if you feel like flirting with danger, it's an idea.

Instapot is *great* for dried beans. no presoak needed.

I have a pressure king pro and I use it 3 or 4 times a week. The chocolate cake looked like a steamed pudding, gives me inspiration to make a golden syrup sponge or a pineapple upside down cake 😍

Use the end of a wooden spoon to release the pressure. I use an elbow for pipes to direct the steam sway from my windows, under the cupboards or on my ceiling. Just a few tips to help you out.

I love my electric pressure cooker. I've had one for many years since before the 'Instant Pot' brought them to prominence. I use it to make rice, stews, soups, broths, tons of stuff.

I’m elderly. All my cooking appliances have auto shut off. In case I forget I’m cooking something. No active flame. Nu Wave cooker and instapot w/browning, grill lid and micro. My dog knows the timers. Lol

I got my mom one of the Instant Pots with the multifunction options and she honestly cooks 80% of family and holiday dinners in it. It's amazing for doing roast beef and then making the gravy after you take the roast out.

There’s an in-between method of pressure release. I put a hard ice pack on top of a folded paper towel on the flat part of the lid after the cook cycle ends. I have a plastic grate over a metal piece, but no reason it wouldn’t work in the label area or your lid. It cools the contents and lowers the pressure much faster than a natural release and there’s no foaming.

Pressure cookers and multicookers are really amazing, especially for things like rehydrating beans or stewing beef. I made dal makhani in mine just a few days ago, and often make pork and beans with it as well. I never tried the Yogurt setting, but I mean to at some point. It is well worth the investment. You should definitely try a New York cheesecake in it, and revisit the beans as well.

I make cheesecake in mine! It's super delicious and much faster and easier than doing it in the oven. You'll need to purchase a springform pan that will fit in the instant pot, but it's worth it.

Barry, i do salmon or mackerel in mine, i set it onto pressure cook set to 3 minutes, which starts after the pressure as build up, then once the timer as finished you leave it to self vent, and you should find your fish ready, also rice particularity wild rice which takes further time to cook.

something often overlooked, that pot is non stick and has high sides so whilst saute-ing, you can rotate it with your bare hands touching the top and the high sides mean you don't get grease or sauces splattering over your hob

Congrats on discovering something we've been cooking with for 27 years, albeit with 2 old-school ones. (substituted an old for a new one a few years ago) 😂 I can confirm "Internetfad's" comment; pressure cookers are a life savers! ☺

That pot is the same one i bought my mum last xmas.. you can use it for searing and for slow cooking too. the best thing its used for though is soups. Which brings me to a suggestion for a video series.. "Cooking various Chinese soup recipes in my instant pot". Or Chinese currys ..

Seeing you release that steam reminded me of Back to the future part three when Marty is helping Doc retrieve the ice.

They are brilliant especially if you want to do something quick. Like a rice pudding I did in mine took like 5 mins ridiculously quick. Pasta isn't great can easily overcook it so have to be careful. Have also don't a Dr pepper gammon in it which was really good.

Only thing missing from the cake (imho) is a layer of buttercream in the middle so it's not just sponge in so many bites, but considering how much stuff you made in this video it's all very impressive! I remember the old-style pressure cookers from when I was a kid and living in fear of the thing exploding (or forgetting to release the pressure valve thingy on top before opening the lid) but it'd be amazing if they made a proper comeback as the Next Big Thing after air fryers.
@danielsantiagourtado3430 Ай бұрын
On my house we have preassure cookers! EXCELLENT for stews! Please make one soon barry?
@Nick_Jarrett Ай бұрын
yeah that release valve is very urgent on high pressure mode, I know you're not meant to but I drape a thin tea towel over to prevent the cabinets above getting dripping wet once I release, doing a lot of pasta it'll always be violent bit it doesn't half do a good boiled gammon and it heats up a lot quicker than the hob on saute mode

I do remember Queen from the 1970s, and onwards. I'm a fan of them and David Bowie too. There is also a song from Billy Joel, from 1982, called Pressure. I think a stew would be perfect for that appliance. Something like an Irish stew with Guinness. This was fun. Cheers, Barry! ✌️
