You pushed the rice button, which said 12 minutes for the pre-programmed rice setting but then you changed it to 8 minutes. It has built in times for cooking & pressure release. The 2nd meal you didn't stir liquid into the rice & again you adjusted the time once it was set so it undid the setting, resultingin the burn. In the Mac cheese attempt for some reason you set it to low pressure when you were supposed to cook on high pressure. Almost e erything is cooked on high pressure. I hope this was helpful, that's what I was going for. 🤗

If you add just a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of the pot, then ad your rice and give it a stir for about 20 seconds, you’ll have zero issues with rice stuck to the stainless steel pot. Same with the chicken burrito bowl.

I think soups and beans are where the instant pot really shines. It extracts a lot of flavor in a relatively short period of time. The higher end instant pots have handles that keep the pot from spinning, and I definitely think it's worth it. You guys did really well for your first time using an instapot! I'm going to have to make that Thai soup now.

I have this same instant pot and kept getting the burn notice. Turns out after i had washed my lid and stored it for a bit, the rubber sealing ring was not sitting in the lid properly, which made it so it couldnt come to pressure, which would keep it on the heat longer making it burn. Now i check all the pieces every time i cook and havent had the problem since! Could be something to keep in mind when using this model! Love from Alabama in the US!

It took me even longer than you to realize what I had done. I was terrified to open it up, but it was fine. I then went online and found out there is like a failsafe feature and it will stop cooking at a certain point. Thank goodness for that.

While being in "Yogurt" or "Keep Warm" setting, can you adjust the temperature "manually" on these once you are within "Custom" setting, (to 100F, 105F, 110F, etc).

Adding a couple teaspoons of oil to the rice, and mixing it in, before you turn it on helps immensely with texture and stickiness. I would have also added a little salt. It would have also helped with the chicken recipe. I would have added a couple tablespoons to that.

You said it is missing a shelf, simply buy a tall trivet that fits the pot and hey presto, you have a second cooking surface basically a shelf. It simply stand in whatever is in the bottom and becomes a second shelf. I use this method all the time, I also use pot in pot cooking, which is basically cooking rice (use a 1 ratio of water to rice)in a separate bowl or you can cook any veggies or anything else you like that has a similar cooking time, to your main meal. Like a lot of other people said, messing about changing pressure and times, will cause problems. I love your channel, however, to day I thought maybe a bit more research was warranted.
