Great video, thanks! Just upgraded from the OG Instant Pot. This was a perfect explanation of differences and new features. You have a new subscriber!

I'm new to IP and I purchased a 6 qt Pro 3 months ago to start...wow, what a great appliance. I knew nothing, just followed the recommendation from Cooks Country test kitchen that praised it for it's intuitive control panel, and although I'm still learning, I can't say enough good things about it! Corned beef and pulled pork are my favorites. There's just 2 in my household, so I got a 3 qt Duo Nova for smaller sides, as it comes to pressure quicker. I even made a cheesecake in the big one, sooo good! Good call to keep 1 color gasket for either sweet and savory. I thank you for calling my attention to the different levels on the saute button, as I didn't know that, it will help me even more!!

For the smell, what I've done on my previous instant pot is when I'm not using the the pot for anything, I'll use a cup or two of Heinz White Vinegar 6% acidity, straight - not diluted, and pressure cook it for however many minutes/hours (because why not), and do a quick release. If the smells are still there, I might do it again and allow for a slow release. Depending on how strong whatever odors are, it may take 2 or more times. I might discard the first cup(s) of vinegar and use fresh on the next go around. Also, might add some fragrant spice like a little rosemary, or whatever is not unpleasant to you.

We have a video coming out about how to use the Pro Plus, however, we haven't tried canning anything more than tomatoes in them. Since they're not "officially" FDA approved for canning, we've been fairly cautious and have stuck to just fruits and tomatoes so far. To can the turkey itself, you'd need to find a trusted canning recipe that's written for turkey and 15psi and follow that very closely. If you try it, let us know how it works out!

I love your videos, soooo helpful! I have an instant pot duo nova but need to invest in different one.

Thanks for your tips. I just bought this to make yogurt because it has a custom temperature control. I have been checking the temperature of the yogurt with a meat thermometer and keep having to adjust the temperature a bit. I can't figure out how to adjust the temperature without canceling the entire program and starting over. Is there a way to adjust while the program is running? I seem to be able to adjust the time but can't get to the temperature to adjust it without canceling the program.

Great video! Thank you! Do you recommend the ceramic inner pot accessory?

@PressureCookingToday

2 жыл бұрын

We haven't seen a ceramic inner pot that's compatible with the Instant Pot Pro! I just double checked their site and it's still not up. The ceramic pot that's currently available would fit in the non-handle Duo models they have available. In general, the ceramic pot is great if you're interested in easy cleaning or trying to cook without oil. However, since we love to get a good sear on our meat before browning it, we rarely use the ceramic pot we do have for our Duo. For me, if budget is a concern, I'd probably skip the ceramic pan and spend the money on a steamer basket, 7x3-inch round pan, or other more frequently used accessories. (If you're interested, our recommendations are here: www.pressurecookingtoday.com/best-pressure-cooker-accessories/ ) Thanks so much for watching!

I'm a bit new to cooking, could I prep like chicken and stuff the night before and keep the pot in the fridge and then just transfer it to the instant pot the next morning? Or is it bad for the cooking pot to be cold? if you happen to know

@PressureCookingToday

2 жыл бұрын

It's not bad for the cooking pot to be cold, it'll just take longer to heat up. However, whether to combine it all in the pot the night before or to wait until you're ready to cook depends on what you're cooking. I generally don't have space in the fridge for the whole pot, so when I prep, I like to pick a couple meals with similar ingredients and I'll prep everything for them at the same time and then put the extras in tupperwares until I'm ready to make the next meal. Unless you're making chicken for breakfast, I'd probably wait until the evening after work to transfer the food to the Instant Pot, since it wouldn't be good for the chicken to sit out on the counter at room temperature for that long. ❤️

No, the Pro series (Pro, Pro Crisp, and Pro Plus) is only available in this black stainless. I think it's Instant Pot's way of differentiating between the Duo series and the Pro series. The shiny stainless matches our kitchen better, but we love the handles on the inner pot and the redesigned lid enough that we don't often think about the color these days!
