Hi Karen, my kind of instructor and you saved me time and kept me from selling an instant pot my kids got me Oct. 2022 for my birthday. It has been sitting in the corner of my living along with a six qt. air fryer they got me for Christmas. When I first opened mine and saw the owners manual I simply closed it back up thinking I don't need anymore to learn in addition to all the online software I use...I am going to go open it up and do the start up text and enjoy watching more of your videos. I am a healthy guy so this will be exciting. Thank you for doing this. William

Thank you so much for this, it was very helpful! I will go find your other 3qt. videos!

Very nice presentation and I learned how to begin using the pot. Thank you. The Ultra Mini I bought did not come with the proper manual, so I was lost.

I just discovered I could sprout seeds in my instant pot. Getting ready to put some seeds in today, as we are about ready for planting here in Washington.

Thank you for sharing. Awesome video

I ❤️ my instant pot and use it at least 3x a week...glad to get any new recipes to try..pulled pork is one of my favorites.

Finally gave in and got my first instant pot about 4 days ago. (A 3 quart) I have instantly gone into the evangelization phase. This thing is awesome. I do have room in my pantry to store it, but I already know it's going to live on the counter because I'm using it every day.

Thank you for sharing. I love all your videos and I have learnt so much about IP PC cooking method. If you don’t mind, I’d like to comment that the measuring cup that came with the IP is useful for Asian/Chinese recipes when it comes to measuring uncooked rice 😊. Enjoy the rest of your week.

We just unboxed my mom's today! Super helpful. Thanks.

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

Just a point... It takes 5 to come to pressure but it will also keep cooking even after time is done if the pressure/vent is not release counting for the 5 and as much as 10 minutes. It's the whole purpose of a pressure cooker.

Super nice explanation ☺️

Thank you for the tutorial. I just used mine for the first time to make oatmeal for 2! Quite honestly, I don't like the way the buttons work. I already have the 6 quart "Duo Nova" so I guess I'm just used to how that one works. With the mini, there is only a "cancel" button so to turn it off, I had to unplug it altogether. But I still love my Instant Pots!

Thx a million for saying the pot takes AT LEAST 5-10 MINUTES TO BUILD UP TO PRESSURE...b/c I was planning to pack up the gizmo n return, because I thought the most important feature,pressure wasn't working! 🤦🏽‍♀️ now I know to build in that time in any recipe I have!

I need a three quart too Love it ♥️

Sfar I have bought 2 direct from Instant Pot official site, the other Williams & Sonoma. , I have a 6 ultra, hate the size for me when I bought the 6 I was good, had a stroke, now I’m not good, LOL, I need everything light weight, I will be getting the 3 ultra one day, this looks wonderful Karen is the Best, only person I watch now, :)

Very helpful!

I have the ultra in a larger model and just use the pressure and sauté settings too.

Thank you so much. Very helpful

Hi. Would the 3 quart Instant Pot be ideal for a single person? (I’m cooking for myself only, and I eat small portions)

Hi, is this a pressure cooker or only a rice cooker?

Thank you for the video, Karen. I look forward to your email everyday and have made many of your recipes. I have two 8 qt. Ultras and I frequently have both of them going at the same time (maybe one with yogurt and one with dinner). Hardly a week goes by that I don't tell my hubby my IP is the best appliance I've ever owned. Thank you again. Gayle

@@karenbellessapeterse Thank you. I consider that a compliment. I do love to cook! However, there are just two of us, so I can't do as much as I like. I'm blessed with a husband who enjoys leftovers - hence the 8 qt. pots. I've tried to convince many people to get an IP, but I always suggest they need to find countertop room, or they probably won't use it. It's major to dig it out of a cabinet. I've just finished steaming a large bag of organic kale. Much nicer than using the stovetop. Please keep the good recipes coming. Gayle
