Instapot should have a promo video that covers all of 1 to 13 features.
Thank you so much! I have always had a quick pot, and I just received my new instant pot. I struggled for about 30 minutes trying to get the lid off after I completed the test cook of water. I found you guys on TH-cam and am very thankful and now have subscribed. I need all the tips I can get on how to use the duo Pressure cooker/air fryer. I have to convince my husband that the air fryer is just as good as the massive one, we have taking up counter space in our kitchen. Lol! Thank you so much and keep it coming!
My husband just got me this for Christmas this year. So excited to use it and cook many different recipes. 😊
What a nice gift - have fun!
Thank you for this video!! Tons of help :) 🎉
Thanks this is my second instant pot. I did not know how to use air fry feature. I will be using it mainly for air frying. I will use my other one for other stuff.
Excellent video as always. Happy new year
This was awesome!!! Thank you so much.
Thanks for the review.
I LOVED THIS PRESSURE COOKING, THAKS GUYS FOR THE EXPLANATION
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I like the simplicity of the design and the interface, as well as the new squatter inner pot. I wish there was a choice between low and high pressure settings, but I guess that's not too big a deal...
Thanks! I rarely use low pressure, so I don't think you'll miss that feature. Just reduce the time on any recipe that uses low pressure.
Thanks for all the details. I appreciate your time to run through this first couple of buttons. I will subscribe to hopefully see more about how to use the other functions. ❤😊
Glad it was helpful - thanks!
Is it’s me or they didn’t go how to air fry? Like the steps..
This video was very informative, I just ordered this model from Amazon. I look forward to meal prepping with it, so I can save some money by not buying food from work everyday!
Glad it was helpful - have fun!
Very helpful video. Answered all my questions!
Glad it was helpful - thanks!
Great video! I have been looking into getting one and this video helped. I had never seen this channel before and am now subscribed. I loved the energy of the daughter. :) Keep up the great content you two.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very very good review... Thanks...
THANK YOU!!! Very helpful 😊
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the review, realy answered all my questions :) one thing I have to say is you may want to lower the music volume a bit, we are here to listen to you after all 🙈
Noted!
Thanks ladies for your guidance on opening my new Instant Pot. I look forward to your guidance since the manual does not provide much help with recipes.
19:40 THANK you for mentioning that, because I noticed steam coming out of mine and freaked out!!! They should mention that in the instructions!
Very helpful. Just bought this as my first pressure cooker. Had no idea I needed to remove those valves to clean! The paper manual is very sketchy. I too was confused about single setting and few recipes allude to this model. I have been experimenting mostly having success. I picked the ultimate because of limited storage room in my small kitchen. fingers crossed on the performance o f the lid mechanisms over time. Thanks for excellent presentation that did not waste my time.
That's so nice - thanks!
Y, just got this one - this is my first Inst Pot, and I’m stunned how minimal the actual op manual is. Bizarre
Thank you, very helpful video.
Glad it was helpful - thanks!
Great video. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Thanks helped a lot to get started.
Glad it helped - thanks!
Your meat will NEVER be tough if you ALWAYS natural release....Wonderfully detailed unbox video..Thanks, Ladies
Thanks for watching! Natural release is important with many meats, but overcooking meat can also result in touch meat. When starting out, it's important to use trusted recipes like ours.
Thank you
Subscribed!! I received my Ultimate yesterday, test run this morning and I am SO impressed. I've had 2 6 quart Instant Pots ... first purchase in 2016 and 2nd in 2020. This will sound goofy, but a "cozy mystery" series that I read ... the author adds a lot of cooking info and she referred to a multi-function cooker which allowed a switch to AirFryer! That lead me to internet search and this InstantPot. She might have been using a Ninja, but as I have been so happy with my InstantPots, I bought this one.
One of the things she somewhat glossed over, but it was what intrigued me, was the ability to add frozen sausage, cut potato ... pressure cook then air fry. There was not enough specific info so I am going to experiment. I'm also going to search your recipes!
At any rate, I think it is a beautiful unit. Much of the functionality I understand from my almost 6 years IPot experience, but Sous Vide, and some of the Air Fryer functionality is new to me.
Thanks for this video! Even though I already purchased, it was helpful to see your experience.
So, 2 weeks and a bit of experience. I have watched a lot of youTube on DuoCrisp, ProCrisp and NinjaFoodi (pc/steam/air fryer models) plus used the Ultimate at least once a day. I am very much liking the ability to PC-steam-airfry in one unit and have a pretty good feel for timing based on my IP Pressure cooking notes as well as new info from experimenting. I continue to like the Ultimate: looks good on my counter (I did NOT keep my IP on the counter :) ), easy to clean, easy to use and great meals without adding heat (VERY minimal vs stovetop/oven). Caveat ... I am a 1 human household so I have been able to do a number of meat/veg combinations. I think that would be more challenging if cooking for a family and think that maybe the 8 quart 2 lid IP or Ninja foodi might work better for more than 2 people ... unless you are ok with batches...
Thanks for the update! Glad you're having fun with it.
@Liz Summers: The Road Home I haven't found many videos on use of ultimate. Is there a conversion for recipes for the ultimate lid... lack of air fryer recipes on app. Can duo crisp lid recipes work exactly same? Unimpressed by the small surface area that came with the IP ultimate, air fryer rack. No air fryer basket like I've seen in the other model.. feel like that should have been included.
Thanks for the great video. The cleaning section for the pressure cook lid was very helpful.
I still have a question about the intermittent steam release. It’s not present in the duo lid. When should I use it?
Thanks! Use intermittent release when cooking things that foam. There's more info in this post www.pressurecookingtoday.com/quick-pressure-release-or-natural-pressure-release/
TY so much for this video. I just got this ip today. I have other older ip suits a bit of a learning curve
I've made yogurt with ultrapasteurized milk and starter using the yogurt button for 10 hrs. The instructions for this ip and yogurt button are different. Have you made yogurt with this ip and can you tell me what I need to do differently. Thanks
Stuck on preheating and would not build pressure. The seal around the steam release had to be pushed down for suction when installing the pressure cooker cover into the lid. I'm guessing they made the gaskets non removable because everything seems to need to be lined up just right with the removable lid cover.
Hi, ladies! This was great! It was a longer video than I was looking for, but very helpful. I will certainly save it for future reference. The directions that come with it are very minimal. I have a few questions about accessories. Do you know if there the magnet cheats are available for this model, or everything exactly the same as it is on the magnets for the other models? When it gives you the time for cooking, that does not count the pre-heating time, correct, even though the food is heating and cooking while the pressure rises? Finally, are there accessories (like the pot in pot) that are available for this model? I had for I had just received some accessories for my previous model before it stopped working correctly. Now I am concerned that not all the accessories I wanted (and/or have) will be compatible with the different sized pot (particularly when it comes to layering. I could not find any specific accessories that said for 6.5 qt models (except for the Ninja Foodi). So much to take in and so much to learn! One thing at a time, right?
Glad it was helpful! The cook times should be the same as other models. The cook time does not include the pre-heat (time it takes to come to pressure) time. Most accessories should work - as long as they fit in the pot without interfering with the lid closing. Have fun!
Ladies, thank you for this video. I have just received my instant pot with ultimate lid and cannot for the life of me work out how to get it out of ‘ready’ mode! None of the buttons seem to work. When I hit pressure cook, it flashes but no time appears. It just says ‘ready’ on the display. Any tips?
Your video was the inspiration for my purchasing this item. I have had an Instant Pot for over 4 years, bought the air fryer lid and was not happy that I had another huge appliance! Quick question, do I have to add more liquid to my current Instant Pot recipes when using the new appliance?
That is awesome! No, we tested it using the same amount of liquid as other models and it worked great. Have fun!
@jeanne how are you liking this new instant pot? I am in the same situation as you - user and lover of instant Pot for 5 years. Hated the air fry lid- sold it. I dropped and cracked my pressure cooking lid so contemplating whether to buy a replacement lid or upgrade to this new model.
Thinking about getting one, but wow it looks big.
I had to return my first one because the inner lid wouldn’t snap back on. I ended up breaking the black notch from continuing to try. So hopefully the new one will work
Glad you were able to return it. Good luck!
Thank you for your video! I saw another review video that said the pressure cooker function on this model was bad, it took 50 mins to preheat for a ten min cook time. Is this something you have also experienced with this model? Thank you!
That's not been our experience, but if you have a full pot of cold ingredients it could take nearly 50 minutes to come to pressure.
My lid is locked on!! I just got the pot out last night to cook with my daughter. It just automatically goes onto the steam mode and keeps the lid locked. Have you heard this? Any ideas?
Hi thanks for the clear videos, I have a question: how can I release steam while slow cooking?
The ultimate lead doesn’t have a release button on the top, I didn’t like the taste of the bolognaise when pressure cooked, so I
decided to slow cook it, but I can’t activate the steam release button,
What should I do?
You can always just unplug the pc and the pressure will naturally release.
Do you like this one or would you recommend Nonja Foodi Smart Lid instead? I'm trying to make a choice and can't decide.
I like the Ninja Foodi with the built in thermometer but it's more expensive and much heavier.
Thankyou so much for detailed video , it’s very helpful. I just got instant pot duo with ultimate lid - and this video is very helpful. Whenever I try to cook rice - it is preheating for nearly 20-30 mnts and then after cooking it doesn’t show the message ready . Is something wrong ? Can I try to fix this please help thanks
These are PLAGUED with reliability issues, expect any and everything to go wrong in the ultimate. Go for the air crisp pro, it’s “older” but it… works? Lol
Hi can you help me clear up something can't figure out is the bottom flat on this model like the pro crisp or dentet in the midle like the duo crisp? changed mine from duo to pro cause of the bottom when you brown meat and etc.?
Currently, the only flat bottom Instant Pots for sale are the Pro models this one is raised in the middle.
Do you know if they are making a glass lid for the 6.5 quart inner pot? Ie: a glass lid to be able to slow cook? A silicone lid for storage in fridge? Thank you for all the info
No, I haven't seen one for this model. You may want to check and see if you have a lid from a pot and pans set you already have and see if it will fit.
I just got this model for Christmas- it is my first instapot and I don't have room for an air fryer- I have a small storage area- THANKS FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL! I noticed on other features you clean the parts - like the seal and the anti-block seal. I noticed it mentions nothing about removing these in the manual- is the is a difference between the other versions? How do you clean this model? do you just rinse those pieces? Thanks!
You can't remove the gasket (seal) from the pressure cooking lid. Hand wash it with hot water and mild dish soap or wash in dishwasher, top rack. The anti-block seal should be removable, but they fit tighter at first so I slide a thin knife underneath and it pops up.
@@PressureCookingToday thank you! Love your videos- I am an experienced cook, but an absolute newbie with a pressure cooker!
I know you were a big fan of hte Instant Pot Pro - do you prefer this one over the pro?
I prefer the handles and the flat bottom on the Pro over this one.
Thank you for the review. Very down to Earth!
I love the new lid and instant pot except for 2 things:
1) the non removable silicone ring (I like to use separate rings for sweets)
2) Pot without handles - WHY????? It was such a brilliant idea
I agree - those are two big cons.
I have that other one too and I agree with you on both.
Those are great! They're available on Amazon for about $8 amzn.to/3XEcSOn (affiliate link)
I found on mine that some steam comes out when you open the lid. I have burned my wrist and or thumb a couple of times. Do you have a work around for that.? I have sent a video to the company, because I'm concerned about it. I noticed in your video that steam on the outside also travels forward.
You may have to turn the Instant Pot when opening it so that your arm isn't across the front when opening.
Great video. Can you change the tempurature on the yogurt setting? whats the maximum time on this setting? thanks
The Sous Vide setting lets you adjust the temperature but not the yogurt setting.
Any tips on cleaning the air fryer lid part? Ours is filthy.
Hi, thank you for your video. I bought this model a few days ago and am pretty unimpressed with the instructions (or lack of) i decided to start with a simple slow cooker recipe but after an hour the display still said preheating. Is this normal? I gave up and cooked it in a big pot on the hob in the end 🙄
Yes, it will say preheat until it comes up to temperature. You can give it a head start bringing it up to temperature using the saute function first.
Omg so an hr of preheating?
First, thank you for the awesome review and walk through. Much I did not know about this unit. This is my second Instant Pot, but only the first with the Ultimate Lid. Can you help? Seems the lid sometimes spews steam non-stop similar to the venting stage till everything is dried out :( *Any ideas how to make it stop spewing as if it has reached venting stage though it has not?* I destroyed a pair of small roasts cooked simultaneously. Little moisture remaining. Was like saw dust in my mouth. And the broth in the bottom of IP burned to gunk despite also having added numerous vegetables along with the roasts on the rack. During cooking phase steam never stopped being expelled through the top vent. *Any ideas what to check or adjust to make the IP stop expelling lots of steam non-stop?* Thx
I think I found my answer. The little black plastic hook at the base of the metal pressure cooking lid cover broke off. Not sure if I broke it or someone else broke it [always someone else :p ]. The lid is out of alignment without the hook in place. Anyhow I epoxy glued the hook back on about three hours ago. Am waiting 24 hours to see if the small amount of epoxy I used is enough for the hook to stay in place forever. (fingers crossed)
That's frustrating! I hope that fixes it.
Thanks for the great video. I am a very experienced cook and this is my first Instapot. I did the steam test as instructed and it worked fine. My first cook was chili. I sautéed the first part of the recipe and that functioned worked great. I shifted to the pressure cooker set up and it was stuck on preheat and won’t budge off it. I checked the valves and rewatched your video to make sure I was doing everything right but I can’t figure out why it may be stuck on the pre-heating mode. Do you have any suggestions?
When making chili, you need to use enough thin liquid for the pressure cooker to come to pressure. So when you're just getting started, it's best to use a pressure cooker chili recipe and then when you're familiar with pressure cooking, you can start adapting your own recipes. Here's my chili recipe www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-chili/
@@PressureCookingToday thank you for the response. The Instapot is very new to me and I think I have to get rid of some preconceived notions about it's abilities. I have been learning more as I watch other people cook with this. How long it take to preheat really surprised me in my circumstance and watching others on TH-cam cook with this too. I need to rethink my cooking here. Thanks for the recipe. I had just the beef and tomatoes in mine and was saving the other beans for after the pressure cooking mode but it looks like based on your recipe it should have been even thinner. Interesting, thank you again for being there to answer all these questions for us rookies. :-)
Very nice
Thanks
Ok so since they now have a button for QR or NR… can you set it to NR 5 min then QR?? Or do you still have to do this separately with a timer of your own??
You'd set it to NPR and then set a timer to come back and change it to quick release.
Have you tried hard boiled eggs in this one? I was hoping to replace my other instant pot, but my eggs were very over done with the 5-5-5 method.
Not yet.
Great and very informative video! Now, I'm a complete noob, so just to be sure, this can cook all different types of rice and quinoa and stuff like that with the same pressure in the pressure cooking mode? Since you mentioned it only does high pressure, and doesn't have other pressure modes? I'm asking because I saw recipes asking for low pressure or medium for different things.
We rarely use anything but high pressure. Any recipe that calls for low pressure, generally you can just reduce the cook time. Have fun!
@@PressureCookingToday You're awesome! Thank you!
I saw in a comment some talking about the Ninja Foodi 14 in 1 (Not sure if you got the thermometer one) and I was wondering if you could compare the duo crisp ultimate lid with that one? I'm torn between the two since the foodi has the steam and bake and steam and airfry features. Not sure if you can get the same results with the unlimite lid by cooking and then frying.
The foodi seems risky not having the air frying element covered and food could boil up into it I feel like. I just need help with someone whose tried them both to compare them. Thanks!
We prefer having two separate lids like you get with the Instant Pot Pro Crisp. But between those two I'd give the nod to the Foodi. th-cam.com/video/vMREd0avuK0/w-d-xo.html
@@PressureCookingToday what about the ninja foodi 14 in 1 vs the duo crisp with removable lid. I see you mentioned the Pro Crisp as well, is that a better choice?
We prefer the Pro because of the flat bottom and handles on the inner pot.
@@PressureCookingTodayTELLEM SIS THE 8 QT PRO aircrisp ALL THE WAY 🎉🎉🎉
I have tried using this Instant Pot a few times now and it seems to have troubles “sealing”. I end up getting a “C7” notification and it has burnt despite that I did deglaze before starting the pressure cooking and followed the recipe directions for liquid.
With no knob to turn the seal closed, I debated attempting to cover the vent with a spoon until it preheats & seals. Good idea?
Any advice?
If you've tried everything, reach out to Instant Pot 800-828-7280 you may have a faulty model.
I cleaned my lid, removing the gaskets and putting them back the way I found them...and now it gets stuck on preheating mode. Thoughts on what I may have done wrong?
What are you pressure cooking? If you have a pot full of cold ingredients, it can take a while to come to pressure. Does it work with one cup of water?
From what I’ve read the ultimate lid isn’t designed to have the seal removed.
Hi! I’m super new at this pressure Cooking so my apologies, but how do you make French fries using the duo crisp with ultimate lid?
You'd make the with an air fryer recipe like this one www.barbarabakes.com/garlic-parmesan-air-fryer-french-fries/
Hi,
Your video was really helpful.
I have tried to use the pressure cooker, but every time I do it doesn’t come out of pre-heating phase. It stays on this mode? I have to manually try and cancel it. When I do eventually open it, the food has burnt on the bottom?
Generally if that happens it means you're not getting a good seal. Are you seeing steam coming out around the edges of the lid? Does steam continually release from the float valve?
@@PressureCookingTodayI am having this issue too. Only through the steam release for me
I just got mine yesterday. I wish it came with recipes. Can one assume you can use it like the regular instant pot? Please do recipes with this one. I don’t know anything about the dehydrator or proofing.
That's a common complaint with the Instant Pot Air Fryer models. Yes, all the 6 quart Instant Pot recipes will work in this model. We haven't done much experimenting with the dehydrator yet, but do plan on post on proofing in the new year. Thanks!
Hi ladies, thanks for your recipies =). I need some assistance as my Instapot is stuck with food inside!! I cannot open it, nor it does release steam under any program (natural, pulse..) I don't want to throw it away, but I see no way of manually open it. Any ideas?
Oh no!!!! I've been away for the last few days. I hope you've worked through it by now, but just in case, here are our thoughts:
It's really tricky to get it to release because there's no outside access to the float valve.
My guess is that perhaps some food has gotten stuck up on the lid and is interfering with the lid opening. First, I'd try to push the unlock slider over to the arrow as hard as you can with one hand and then lift up the lid with the other hand. It has to go past that unlock stage. Next, once everything has cooled off (which it absolutely should be by now--all the pressure should have released naturally), I'd lift the whole pot off the counter a little bit and rap it on the countertop a few times. Hopefully shifting the content inside.
If that doesn't work, I would absolutely reach out to Instant Pot's warranty department. The lid absolutely shouldn't have locked in place without any way to open it. They've been really great to work with for us in the past when we had a busted lid. www.instanthome.com/support/contact-instant
let us know how things turn out!
Can you use this instant pot for probiotic yogurt. So I can do yogurt at a temp under 100f
You can use the sous vide function and set the temperature as low as 77 degrees.
The bottom of the pressure cooking lid does not latch (it pressure cooks just fine, but won't sauté' unless I stand and hold the bottom part of the lid close to the machine. Help!
I haven't heard of this problem before. I would reach out to customer service, you may need a new unit. 800-828-7280
Does the gasket come out of the duo crisp ultimate lid for cleaning?
It does not unfortunately.
@@PressureCookingToday ok thank you
Hi i think my pulse release or Quick release is not working properly while pressure cooking, even though I tried pressing the release button many times.
Others have had problems with the float valve not dropping even though they know the pressure has been released. Reach out to Instant Pot 800-828-7280
mine is releasing steam. where is the vent? I need to make sure it is in the right position.
If baking do you preheat before placing food inside or no ?
Yes, you do want to preheat when baking or air frying.
Would you suggest the duo crisp or the duo crisp lid? Do they have many differences? Or are they comparable?
We like the Duo Crisp better www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-duo-crisp-review/
@@PressureCookingToday Is the main reason you prefer the duo crisp because of the removable lid?
Can the duo crisp proof bread as well?
@@misluckymo you can use the yogurt function to proof dough if the pressure cooker you buy doesn't have a proof setting
What to do if mine didn’t do a quick release?
It took a long time it didn’t vent like yours did ?
With the test run?
Were you cooking something or were you doing the water test? I do a water test again and make sure you have it set to quick pressure release. If you still don't get a burst of steam with a quick release, your pressure cooker may be malfunctioning and you may want to exchange it or contact the Instant Pot company. 800-828-7280
@@PressureCookingToday I was just doing the test
I think I had the keep warm setting on
So I tested again and it worked perfectly. Thank you
Where did you find the information that the pressure cooker cover could be cleaned in the dishwasher? If it was in the manual, please tell me what page
Page 39 of the manual p.widencdn.net/xpy1ja/IB_140-0068-01_Duo-Crisp-Ultimate-Lid-6.5QT_User-Manual_FINAL_LowRes.pdf - the second bullet point: hand wash with hot water and mild dish soap or wash in dishwasher, top rack
How long does it take to preheat? I’m following your recipe for the Spanish rice and it’s been preheating for like 15 minutes ..
Hi Aileen - the time it takes to come to pressure varies depending on what ingredients are in the pot. If you doubled the recipe it could take 15 minutes to come to pressure. The saute function usually preheats in about 5 minutes.
Can see a few flaws with this design but I know that manufacturers have to make some allowances when trying to create a one lid model. Needing two different pressure cook parts, one for sweet, one for savoury et, the fact your arm is exposed to steam when lifting the lid, inability to steam clean the air fryer elements etc. Would you say it was quieter than the one lid 14 in 1 (15 in the UK) ninja model on air fryer mode? I found mine to be annoyingly loud so I sent it back.
I do think the Ninja was louder, but not by too much. Most of the air fryers I've tried-even the toaster oven and standalone air fryer models-definitely have a noisy fan.
@@PressureCookingToday I find the duo crisp (at least the 6 quart model) far more tolerable in terms of the pitch. Much deeper and easier to be in the same room as
Thank you for this review! I am wondering how long does it usually take to get to pressure when pressure cooking? I made potatoes last night. I put one cup water and set seasoned red potatoes on the rack. It took 30 minutes just to reach pressure before it cooked the potatoes set for 4 minutes. I am finding that it seems to take up to 20 - 30 minutes just to get to pressure. Not sure if something is wrong with the pots pressure lid.
Hi Bobbi - with just one cup of water, it should come to pressure faster than 30 minutes. Are you seeing steam coming out around the sides of the lid? You may want to contact customer service.
@@PressureCookingToday No, I don't see steam coming out of the sides of the lid, just the top vent hole. What is a typical time frame that one cup of what would come to pressure?
With just one cup of water it should take less than 10 minutes generally.
Same here, I just got this model 2 weeks ago. It worked great the first one or two times, and now it just never comes to pressure. Steam just comes out of the steam vent for 20 or 30 minutes and my food just cooks during the preheat or starts burning to the bottom of the pot. I’m using over a cup of water… not sure what is going on.
@@anniegirl627 I'd give Instant Pot a call 800-828-7280
When doing water test first use it would not start unless I did 10 min delay start? How do I start pressure cook without delay start?
Touch the Pressure Cook button, then touch the Time button and use the silver dial to set the cook time to the time to 10 minutes and press start. There's more detail in our review post www.pressurecookingtoday.com/review-instant-pot-duo-crisp-with-ultimate-lid/#HowToButtons
What is the maximum baking heat of these two? Tks
400°F
Sometimes I have to push the pin down manually when finished pressure cooking because it sticks. I’m concerned that with no access to the pin, if that happens the lid would never be able to be opened.
This is happening to me now and I can’t open my instapot. Help! 😢
You've got to get the float valve to drop. If you're sure the pressure is gone, try firmly tapping on the lid.
Is it easy to remove and replace the lids ?
Yes, very easy.
Hi, thanks for all the info! One question: are we certain that it's safe to cook things such as rice or pasta in this model? The documentation that came with it says not to cook things that may foam, such as rice or pasta. Maybe oatmeal, too? I hope that I misunderstood, as I had expected to be able to cook those things. This is my first Instant Pot brand appliance, so there's going to be a learning curve, I'm sure.
That warning is on all models. The warning makes no sense since Instant Pot has recipes for those items on their site. Just be sure when cooking things that foam that you follow instructions from trusted recipes, and never fill your pot more than half full with things that foam.
@@PressureCookingToday that's so weird most have a rice button!
So, we cooked mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving in our Ultimate Lid IP, and when the pressure released, it spat potatoes all over the table and blinds. I see from your video that we should have changed the pressure to natural. (I am not sure what my husband had it on). However, now I am concerned that I need to do some deeper cleaning on it. What should I look for and how do I clean it?
With potatoes you'll overcook them with a natural release. Don't fill your pot more than 2/3's full / half full with things that foam (potatoes can foam, so add some oil to the water to help keep that to a minimum.) Then if you have anything but steam coming out of the steam release valve, you'll want to do an intermittent release. Open and close ever 30 seconds or so - more information in this post www.pressurecookingtoday.com/quick-pressure-release-or-natural-pressure-release/
I use the instant pot with the ultimate lid and every time I followed a recipe that I found on duo crisp the food didn't came out as expected. Someone that has the same problem or I have to conclude that mine is faulty? 😟
Very informative video- thank you! How do you remove the silicone gasket to clean. It looks like it’s in there pretty securely.
The silicone gasket is attached to the plate itself and does not come out on this model.
Does it have a low pressure mode?
No it only cooks on high pressure. I rarely use low pressure.
My pressure cooker got stuck and it want click into place any suggestions…thanks
Is your gasket installed properly?
HELLO, I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS.
I INTEND TO PURCHASE AN INSTANT POT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE, I WOULD LIKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION. BETWEEN THE ULTIMATE LID DUO AND THE 8-QUARTER PRO CRISP, WHICH WOULD BE MY BEST CHOICE? COULD YOU ADVISE ME, PLEASE.
Thanks Anita! I would choose the 8 quart Pro Crisp. I like the flat bottom inner pot with handles and the air fryer basket that comes with it.
@@PressureCookingToday 💞Thanks so much!!!
Mine not releasing pressure or steam now, keep showing releasing pressure (but not) and ‘do not open’
What can I do ?
If you switch it to quick release and press start and it doesn't release pressure, I'd bet there's something wrong with it and you should talk to Instant Pot. 800-828-7280
My mom bought the same one i think it was slightly used. Because it didn't come with instructions plus she couldn't find any instructions in Spanish she started using it, and now i am unable to open it up. Its stuck
If you're confident all the pressure is released, you'll need to tap on the lid to try and get the float valve to fall.
Merhaba. Kapağındaki lastiği çıkarılıp takılabilir mi? Temizlemek için?
No, on this model it cannot be removed.
What about a Slow Cooker lid? I have one for the Duo. Will that work?
I checked the manual and you have to close the lid with the pressure cook cover in place to slow cook. So a glass lid will not work with this model. .p.widencdn.net/xpy1ja/IB_140-0068-01_Duo-Crisp-Ultimate-Lid-6.5QT_User-Manual_FINAL_LowRes.pdf
When we press the start button nothing happens! The "preheating" does not start and does not show on the display...what are we doing wrong???
Are you selecting the saute or pressure cook setting and setting the time first before pressing start?
Can you precisely adjust the temperature?
You can't adjust the pressure cooing temperature but the air frying temperature is adjustable.
How long does it take to up to pressure, thank you
It depends what you're cooking. If it's a big pot of soup with cold ingredients, it can take 20 to 30 minutes to come to pressure. If it's only 1 cup of liquid it will come to pressure in about 5 minutes.
@@PressureCookingToday Thank you Ladies, great videos.
I have taken delivery of the instant pot duo crisp with ultimate lid, but im having a ninja foodi max 15 in 1 being delivered today, just trying to decide which one to keep.
My question is is when your pressure cooking and you hit cancel when it is up to pressure. I was not able to rapid release the pressure.
You should be able to press the Steam Release button so the light is fully to the right. If you've hit cancel first and then press the steam release button, the pressure should release.
I am having problems with opening the lid after 5 hours, and nothing is working? Any tips?
Sorry! That's so frustrating. Firmly tap on the lid to try and get the float valve to drop. If it won't drop, you'll need ot contact Instant Pot. 1-800-828-7280
Hi! Had a bit of an issue hope you can help. After pressure cooking for 3 hours left it overnight, morning came it said Do not open the lid. I tried the 3 different steam release option for another hour but it seems like the the lid is jammed and still says Do not open lid. I can hear it pulse when I try to select the different release options.I’m afraid the food is spoiled and cold already. I tried to unplug for a minute but the same message “Do not open Lid” Help!!! -Cooking dad
I somewhat forcefully wiggled the lever and it opened. Thanks anyway! 😅
@@navvlog5 I've got the same problem...I will try the above
If I use ultra pasteurized milk can I just set it to make yogurt without going thru the whole automated system such as boiling , cooling down stage then ferment?
I want to be able to just select the yogurt function, add the milk, yogurt culture, choose the temp and time and call it a day. This automated system utilizes a lot of my time. If it doesn’t allow me to override the automatic setting then I might as well go back to the old fashion way making it on the stove top . Same amount of steps and time spent
Try using the sous vide option instead of the yogurt option for cold start yogurt.
@@PressureCookingToday what’s the temperature on the sous vide? Is it the same as the fermented stage temp
It's adjustable 77 to 194 degrees p.widencdn.net/xpy1ja/IB_140-0068-01_Duo-Crisp-Ultimate-Lid-6.5QT_User-Manual_FINAL_LowRes.pdf You want to set it for 105 degrees www.friedalovesbread.com/2017/06/easy-cold-start-yogurt-no-boil-method.html
How do you close the vent on the duo crisp with ultimate lid???
It automatically resets the vent to the sealed position when you lock the lid in place.
@@PressureCookingToday thank you very much. That’s helpful.
How do you release the pressure?
push the steam release button to switch release modes from quick release, pulse release, or natural release at any time;
I have never used a pressure cooker and all the recipes for rice call more high pressure and when done cooking hold for 5 minutes. I have NO control. I must choose for natural release, pulse release and fast release. How do I hold......I am so fed up with NO directions about to send this back. Please help
It can be frustrating at first. Choose natural release and then when 5 minutes has passed, change it to fast release and release the pressure.
Thanks for your video! Very helpful!
I have 3 questions:
Which is best, Instant Pot Duo Crisp or Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid?
Isn’t difficult to clean Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid with a lid that is not removable?
Can you do Bread Proofing in Instant Pot Duo Crisp?
Our favorite is the IP Pro Crisp th-cam.com/video/vMREd0avuK0/w-d-xo.html Ultimate Lid is a little easier to clean because the cover. You can use the yogurt function to proof dough if the pressure cooker you buy doesn't have a proof setting.
@@PressureCookingToday Thanks for your response :)
Could you please let me know why you prefer Instant Pot Pro Crisp?
Can you enter your own cooking settings on both?
We like the flat bottom of the inner pot and the handles on the inner pot and having separate lids. Yes, you can enter your own cooking settings on both.
Thanks for your answers, it really helps me make the right choice for me. One last question, I will go for the 8 Quarts ( 7.6 Liters); however, can one use a smaller pot for smaller quantities? as I see pots of 3.17 Quarts (3 Liters) are sold separately.
You can't use a smaller inner pot, but you can cook smaller quantities pot in pot th-cam.com/video/N97QcwUMaGA/w-d-xo.html
Can we put the pressure cooker lid in dish washer
No, the pressure cooker cover should be hand washed.
I’ve owned a month now and have a question …we’re having a tough time removing the lid seal for cleaning, so question is any tips and is it meant for removal?? Thanks in advance!
It gets easier over time as your Instant Pot gets broken in. Especially with the newer models. I like to start at the same spot for removal. I also think it's easier to remove when it's warm (not hot) than when it's completely cooled.
