You(Ma'am) are the reason I purchased an instant pot. Thank you. Now I have the air fryer attachment on the way. I am about 95% vegan and on my way to 100% whole food/plant based. Thanks again.
aww that's so nice to hear, thank you for letting me know. I am so happy to hear that you're eating a primarily vegan diet, that is amazing. Hope you enjoy the air fryer attachment too!
Same here and they are vastly more expensive here in Canada. But I bought one anyway. Looking for a mushroom soup today but don't see one. And my hubby wants a pakora recipe.
Even though she is trying to speak fast to get all the info in, I’m amazed at the amount of info I learned from this video. I am new to Insta Pot, and the pamphlet that came with my 6 qt Duo was not very helpful. I will def order her cookbook and I know I will rewatch this video over and over again. At 68 and someone that has been cooking since I was six years old, it is much harder to switch over to not only being plant based but learning a new appliance as well. 🙋♀️
Get her cookbook of course 🙂 but I also have been able to make a lot of new and delicious dishes by googling the ingredients I have plus ‘instant pot’ and find all kinds of interesting recipes. Once you get used to cook times of different ingredients you can adapt all kinds of recipes for the instant pot!
This video might be 4 years old already, but I've just got my Instant Pot and feeling inspired! I'm not a busy lawyer, but a teacher, and I needed a time-saving device to still be able to eat decently. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I checked out your Instant Pot cookbook from my local library and LOVED every single picture, so now I'm getting an Instant Pot for Christmas, and your cookbook, too!
Your cookbook is so amazing! I’ve given it with an instant pot to so many people - including as a baby shower gift. My friend said it’s the best gift she received because it makes eating and cooking with a newborn so easy for her! Thank you for making such a great resource!!
Aww that is SO nice to hear. I am so grateful your support and that is such a thoughtful combo present. So nice to hear that it's been such a helpful gift for a new mom :) Thank you for making my day!
I'm not sure how this 4yr old video popped up in my feed but I need to say that I absolutely LOVE my IP! Any dry bean cooks up easily and perfectly. Soups/stews/chili are totally easy once set. Rice/grains are aldente. Plus, it's my go-to for any potato, whether whole or not. Thank you for this! I didn't know you have an IP cookbook! I need to grab it 😊

I finally got an instant pot, thanks to you my friend!! Now I have absolutely no excuse but to get your cookbook and cook through it :-) I cannot tell you how excited I am!
I never comment. I know this an older video. But I must say. This one of the most impressive vegan instant pot videos ever. Thank you for putting your time and energy into your book, recipes and this video. Much appreciated 🙏🏾
I just found you and I’m so happy I did!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I’m now off to buy an instant pot. I have ADHD so it makes it incredibly hard to even just think about cooking. It’s a bit of a trigger for me… but this kitchen appliance may change my life, I’m hoping!!!! I also LOVE your energy. Your videos are so informative, easy to follow and I can feel your passion and warmth shine through !!!! Thank you ☺️
I just ordered one of these and I hate cooking so I'm so excited at the prospect of cooking vegan food for myself (instead of getting takeout or doing the most simple boring recipes ever!) I just subscribed because I love your straightforward, no-delay delivery! Maybe it's from being a lawyer, but I love that you don't dilly dally around and just get to the point!! I'll be watching all your videos!!!
I am ordering an instant pod/your book now. I am new to the plant based lifestyle. I’ve always wanted to go vegan 🌱 I just didn’t know where to start or have the full understanding support. I am on this journey alone, (hubby and kids are not vegan) so I am grateful for your channel because I have a very BUSY schedule & I am doing this lifestyle for ME and I couldn’t be more proud to now say I am a vegan. 🌱 Quick, easy, Healthy & Vegan recipes is a WIN for me. Thank you 😊
After 2 years of really wanting the instant pot, my mother in law got it for me last christmas! This video makes me want to order your book right away 😍😍
I have watched so many videos to 1/ see if Instant pot would be useful to me as a vegan 2/ if I wanted an instant pot or a slow cooker...8 minutes of your video and I was clicking the order button. Thank you so much...
Bought my instant pot to make dried beans and then discovered so much more!! I was a bit skeptical because I know some kitchen appliances can just live in the cupboard but I use mine all the time!! I love making mashed potatoes in it. So easy and quick
Oh my gosh I love these types of questions that you put out for your audiences. We can read each others answers and learn about what other ppl are eating and hence expand our meal choices. Love it.
I’ve been thinking about getting an Instant Pot for a few years, but I held off because I was concerned about the cost. While watching this video, I decided to do some price checking (just to see). I was pleased to find one online in my budget. I’m happy to report that I had a gift card that’s been sitting around that not only covered the cost of the Instant Pot, but I was also able to get your Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook! I’m so excited to get cooking!
I got an instant pot in a black friday sale 4 years ago. Started being vegan 4 years ago. It has made my life so much easier through university and work. Cooking dried beans to canned bean consistency and digestibility. That was the best part of the instant pot
Oh my gosh! Hey! I'm moving out in a week and JUST got an instant pot for Christmas to meal prep! omg, so excited to check out the rest of your videos AHH :)))
What a mind blowing video, this is like a summary of your whole life learning. I recently picked up instant pot and started boiling and steaming a lot. All my break time goes into dumping something in instant pot and I just love it. I just felt that I have a long way to go with my journey of instant pot and I can feel my journey will cross your path too. Thanks for sharing your work with so much passion and energy.
I just ordered your book on Amazon and will be purchasing my Instant Pot soon. It looks like a really good investment. Nice presentation! You certainly deserve many blessings for the service you provide to those who care about their health.
We love using our Instant Pot for weeknight dinners! Thank you for sharing all these ideas. Will be trying the spaghetti squash and braised cabbage ideas soon.
I have looked at buying your book from Amazon for a few months now but haven t because I wasn't sure if the recipes would be good. Watching you and well im sold.
I’ve had so many “burn” notice with my Instant Pot I almost trow it away and got afraid of the beast…😮You’re giving me motivation to give it another chance! ❤
You touched on everything I love about the Instant Pot. I have 2! It “makes” time for other things because you can walk away, as you said. I cook a lot of beans, rice, and potatoes.
I got your cookbook Nisha:-) . I was touched by your introduction and I got the impression that I know you (as a soul?). The pecan pumpkin mousse tart is my favourite so far. I will try more of your recipes soon. Sending you lots of (light)hugs & kisses
Great video! Hugely informative! I can’t believe it was less than 15 minutes long because you packed so much in there. I loved cooking your lentil recipes in the past and I’m thinking of getting your cookbook. Thank you so much for writing one.
I mostly make beans, potatoes and curries. But, you have inspired me to get more creative. I usually end with the slow release but I think I will adjust my cook times and do the quick release for even faster cooking! Thanks so much---
Beans and curries are two my fave uses for the instant pot! For voluminous items like a big pot of beans or a big pot of soup, a natural pressure release is helpful, for at least 10 minutes. But for veggies or items that might overcook, definitely use a quick release!
Oh boy did I appreciate this video! Thank you! I just bought an instant pot and I bought you recipe book so I’m excited to get started. Your instructions makes that very much easier 💕
The instant pot has been with me forever.. Time saving is so important on certain days. Everything turns out so fabulous! I used to be so disappointed in brown rice until I got the Instant Pot.
From your book (hardcover), my favorites are Tex-Mex Brown Rice & Lentils, Hearty Tempeh Chili, Red Lentil Almond Curry, West African Peanut Stew, and Tofu Cauliflower Tikka Masala. The Three Bean Vegetable Chili is on my list to try soon. I like spicy foods. Otherwise I regularly cook numerous whole grains and legumes - and oats (steel cut or rolled). I discovered your TH-cam channel when I was watching "Simnett Nutrition" videos, and a relevant link showed up. When I saw that you had an Instant Pot cookbook, I bought it immediately. I actually wore out my first Instant Pot, purchased in Nov. '18, after an estimated 400 uses. It was slightly past warranty, but when I spoke to an Instant Pot agent and conveyed my love for the product, he decided to send me a new replacement for free. I've used the replacement almost 100 times already.
I'm so glad you love your instant pot so much and happy you found my cookbook and are enjoying the recipes! I definitely wore out my instant pot while developing and testing recipes for my book haha.
My mom was insistent on getting me one of those for my new place. It's been sitting in my kitchen untouched. Thanks for giving me the boost I needed to try it out. :)
I can’t live without my instant pot. I actually want to get a second! Im using it right now to batch make kidney beans for sweet potato soul’s vegan red beans and rice recipe and to put in my three bean chili w/Beyond’s “ground beef”. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know about the steamer basket insert; I’m definitely getting it! 🤗
Yes, a second one comes in handy lol. I am so sad because my second one stopped working recently, guess I will have to add another one to the collection :) I love Sweet Potato Soul and her recipes! Happy cooking and hope you'll find the steamer basket useful.
I already had a feeling my instant pot was the best appliance in modern times, but now that I've suddenly stumbled on the instant pot side of youtube, I'm set for life! Your recipes look amazing, I think it's nice that the instant pot cooks one pot meals so well compared to the slow cooker where everything can often turn to mush by the end.
Just wanted to say thank you - made your sweet potato dal from your book for dinner this evening and my husband’s response was ‘dal .. you mean wow’ 😋 we loved it - thank you 😘
Great video! I recently got an Instant Pot but haven't used it that much. I actually ordered your cook book this week so now I'm really looking forward to getting it! Thanks for the tips!
Hi Nisha - thank you for the steel cut oat recipes! I’ve tried so many and just couldn’t handle the texture which is why I use whole groats. I made your recipe this morning and for the first time I can see myself making steel cut oats more often! 👏🏼
Got your cookbook today It is so lovely the pictures are so pretty and I also love that there are many options to make dishes gluten free as I now have to eliminate from my diet for health reasons. I am going to dive into making dishes tomorrow and I am so excited my 8yr old son is really excited about the tofu cauliflower tikka masala. And thanks so much for including that cooking times and ratios omg that it's self is fantastic information I didn't have in my toolbox kitchen knowledge. I know I am going to love it.
Hi Kimberly, so nice my cookbook arrived today and happy that you appreciate the cook times and ratios. And yes, about 80-85% of the dishes are gluten-free or can easily be made gluten-free, so I hope you'll find lots of variety to choose from. And so sweet that your son is excited about the tofu masala - i love that dish!
I was going to give my instant pro crisp& Air fryer away to a friend because I was thinking it was to much work for making all these meals. But after watching these vegetarian recipes made in the instant pot, I am keeping mine, Lookforward to making all these recipes. Even deserts. Thank Nisha
I just found your channel,and now I am addicted! This is just what I needed to become fully vegan. I like that you make more basic comfort food,rather than super complex stuff all the time. Totally buying your book!
@@RainbowPlantLife Can you do a video on vegan cheeses? I have heard a lot,but I would love to see some actually used,and know which ones you think are the best.
I live in the UK. I have a Pressure King Pro. PKP which I guess is the other version of the USA instant pot. I love your videos and yes I love my PKP. It's great for when No get home from work. My dinner is ready and keeps warm.
Ah yes i've heard of the pressure king pro! I'm glad you love using yours. So useful to be able to come home from a long day at work to dinner already waiting for you :)
Nice video, you get to the point and don't blab on . I love informative quick to the point videos, I don't mind stories as long as it doesn't take forever, which yours didn't cheers!
My mom and grandmother used their pressure cookers frequently, but the features and accessories on these contemporary models far exceed the capability of those original models. I am in my 50s and trying to eat healthier with more vegetables. I just might decide to buy an instant pot or other pressure cooker. Thanks for this highly informative and inspiring video. You made me smile too since cooking is not a perfect experience every time (teapot lid).
I know it’s basic but it makes beans and rice so easy that you can make several days’ worth and also learn different recipes to give them a wide variety of flavors. My favorite recent one is an African dish (IIRC) that has coconut milk and gives it a completely different flavor profile. The other night I made classic style but only had one can of tomatoes. I filled it out with a can of pumpkin, spiced it up (and was so lazy I used dried onion lol) then finished it with a couple fistfuls of kale that I heated by putting the lid back on and let the pot sit for 10 minutes to heat it up. Was sooooo good. I know that seemed like a lot but it was dump things->put on lid and set timer->did some gaming->came back a couple hours later and had an amazing dinner with enough leftovers for my roommate and I to have 2 more days’ worth of dinners.
I just bought myself an Instant Pot yesterday! I started watching your videos on IP cooking and realized this book looks familiar..... I went to my cook book shelf!!! wha laa there it was. So excited to get started! Thank you for your beautiful book.
Good morning😊 interesting video. I purchased one for Christmas. It still in the package. With this video I have more understanding of the wonders it can do. Yes, looking forward to recipes for instant pot. Thank you🤗
great, looked it up and they have it in bulgaria, because I live there now for some reason.. The pumpkin (or squash?) was the trigger to order it ;) Thanks again for the great vid, tips and positive vibes
Wow Nicha,i didn't know you could use the instant pot in so many different ways. But i am sold to buy one when my budget allows. Seems like it will pay off in a very short period of time. Thank you for this very useful and eye-opening video!❤
Okay Nisha, I’ve been telling myself I don’t need an instant pot but I FINALLY gave in and got the mini (it’s all I would need). AND purchased your book as well 😁📖 Love your recipes and your fun demeanor - Happy cooking 🥂
Hi Emilia - not sure if you will see this a year later but was wondering what you meant by the mini? I live alone so don’t need much but all the models seem huge - would be great to know which one you’re referring to
@@Mialuvsveggies Oh u legend, thankyou so much!!! Very roughly, how many servings is the 3l if u were to cook a full meal in it (rather than a side like rice)
I need to buy instant pot while am in usa in may for my cousin graduation i have your cookbook drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Have been thinking about getting an Instant Pot for a while, but your video's finally convinced me, plus Amazon Australia is having a 15% off sale. So I ordered the 6L today, along with spare seals. Should mention I also bought your ebook cookbook as well, although it's disappointing we can't get the spiral bound here. Loving your recipes and awesome videos. You are a treasure Nisha, thank you so much!
I am so excited by this video I've just seen! I have only just received my first ever Instant Pot, which I bought primarily so I could cook beans and pulses really... I'm starting on the MacDougall "Starch Solution" eating plan after the holidays and that means basically a vegan diet without added processed oils for cooking with. I''ve subscribed to your channel, of course, and liked this video. I can't wait to get stuck into making some great vegan meals to make me healthier while I'm keeping the winter cold out!
Love this! My instant pot and now my new air fryer really are my best friend and the most used appliances in my kitchen! I literally use one or the other almost every single day! Now I want to go make a bunch of food in the Instant Pot - cheesecake??? YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!
I made pasta in my IP, which I never thought to do. We need both regular and GF, so this is such a time & dish saver. To find the time, divide the package cooking time in half then deduct one minute, so many will cook in 4 minutes!
What’s your favorite thing to make in the Instant Pot? 🍲
Veggie chili! We love the one in your cookbook.
Jeanie Kurtis I’m so glad you love the chili recipe!
Curried green lentils with veggies and some sweet potatoes. So quick and easy.
Mica Mckenzie that sounds so satisfying!
Curry! Green, red, Indian, any kind really!
You(Ma'am) are the reason I purchased an instant pot. Thank you. Now I have the air fryer attachment on the way. I am about 95% vegan and on my way to 100% whole food/plant based. Thanks again.

Has anyone been able to find an Air Fryer attachment for 3 qt Instant Pot duo nova?
Same here and they are vastly more expensive here in Canada. But I bought one anyway. Looking for a mushroom soup today but don't see one. And my hubby wants a pakora recipe.

I’m SOLD. I think the vegan healthy kitchen essentials are: instant pot, high-speed blender and air fryer.
Add in a masticating juicer and food processor.
I found that the air fryer gave everything a chemical under taste from the plastic coating.

Great video! Hugely informative! I can’t believe it was less than 15 minutes long because you packed so much in there. I loved cooking your lentil recipes in the past and I’m thinking of getting your cookbook. Thank you so much for writing one.
Aww Bonnie! You are to sweet. So nice to hear that you thought the video was info-packed. I try my best to do that :) I hope you'll enjoy my cookbook!
My husband bought me your cookbook last weekend! So excited
Aww what a lovely present. Hope you both will enjoy it, Kate!
I mostly make beans, potatoes and curries. But, you have inspired me to get more creative. I usually end with the slow release but I think I will adjust my cook times and do the quick release for even faster cooking! Thanks so much---
Beans and curries are two my fave uses for the instant pot! For voluminous items like a big pot of beans or a big pot of soup, a natural pressure release is helpful, for at least 10 minutes. But for veggies or items that might overcook, definitely use a quick release!
thank you for making the world a better place. I know now I can create delicious and yummy vegan dishes with confidence and joy
Aww that is SO nice of you to say. That brings me so much joy to hear.
Oh boy did I appreciate this video! Thank you! I just bought an instant pot and I bought you recipe book so I’m excited to get started. Your instructions makes that very much easier 💕
The instant pot has been with me forever.. Time saving is so important on certain days. Everything turns out so fabulous! I used to be so disappointed in brown rice until I got the Instant Pot.
I never knew how much I NEED an instant pot! Thank you for this video🙏🏻 You’re so funny and meal prepping looks so easy now!
Caitlin Hough aww haha yeah, it is so useful! And glad you enjoyed the video hehe!
You’ve made me a believer even tho i have a small kitchen. Can’t wait to order the cookbook and shop for an Instant Pot!
From your book (hardcover), my favorites are Tex-Mex Brown Rice & Lentils, Hearty Tempeh Chili, Red Lentil Almond Curry, West African Peanut Stew, and Tofu Cauliflower Tikka Masala. The Three Bean Vegetable Chili is on my list to try soon. I like spicy foods. Otherwise I regularly cook numerous whole grains and legumes - and oats (steel cut or rolled). I discovered your TH-cam channel when I was watching "Simnett Nutrition" videos, and a relevant link showed up. When I saw that you had an Instant Pot cookbook, I bought it immediately.
I actually wore out my first Instant Pot, purchased in Nov. '18, after an estimated 400 uses. It was slightly past warranty, but when I spoke to an Instant Pot agent and conveyed my love for the product, he decided to send me a new replacement for free. I've used the replacement almost 100 times already.
I'm so glad you love your instant pot so much and happy you found my cookbook and are enjoying the recipes! I definitely wore out my instant pot while developing and testing recipes for my book haha.
My mom was insistent on getting me one of those for my new place. It's been sitting in my kitchen untouched. Thanks for giving me the boost I needed to try it out. :)
I can’t live without my instant pot. I actually want to get a second! Im using it right now to batch make kidney beans for sweet potato soul’s vegan red beans and rice recipe and to put in my three bean chili w/Beyond’s “ground beef”. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know about the steamer basket insert; I’m definitely getting it! 🤗
Yes, a second one comes in handy lol. I am so sad because my second one stopped working recently, guess I will have to add another one to the collection :) I love Sweet Potato Soul and her recipes! Happy cooking and hope you'll find the steamer basket useful.
Every time i think of giving up i watch your videos and you inspire me to stay Vegan
I already had a feeling my instant pot was the best appliance in modern times, but now that I've suddenly stumbled on the instant pot side of youtube, I'm set for life! Your recipes look amazing, I think it's nice that the instant pot cooks one pot meals so well compared to the slow cooker where everything can often turn to mush by the end.
Yay, happy to hear it! It’s such a versatile and useful device. Hope you get some inspo here to love your instant pot even more!
Just wanted to say thank you - made your sweet potato dal from your book for dinner this evening and my husband’s response was ‘dal .. you mean wow’ 😋 we loved it - thank you 😘
HAHA that's amazing. Your husband has a great sense of humor lol. I am so happy you guys loved the sweet potato dal!
We love your recipes! Beans are a staple for us.
Great way to cook squash👍. I love butter cup squash.
Ooh buttercup squash, yes! It’s so cute too :)
Nisha, great video. Lot of great tips and ideas.
The cookbook is amazing, I want to make every recipe! The polenta was so good!
Great video! I recently got an Instant Pot but haven't used it that much. I actually ordered your cook book this week so now I'm really looking forward to getting it! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much! So happy that you will be getting my cookbook soon :) Glad you found the tips useful!
I also think the instapot is one of my very best appliances!
Hi Nisha - thank you for the steel cut oat recipes! I’ve tried so many and just couldn’t handle the texture which is why I use whole groats. I made your recipe this morning and for the first time I can see myself making steel cut oats more often! 👏🏼
Hi Linda, that's so great to hear! I'm so happy you finally enjoyed the steel cut oats!
Got your cookbook today
It is so lovely the pictures are so pretty and I also love that there are many options to make dishes gluten free as I now have to eliminate from my diet for health reasons.
I am going to dive into making dishes tomorrow and I am so excited my
8yr old son is really excited about the tofu cauliflower tikka masala.
And thanks so much for including that cooking times and ratios omg that it's self is fantastic information I didn't have in my toolbox kitchen knowledge. I know I am going to love it.
Hi Kimberly, so nice my cookbook arrived today and happy that you appreciate the cook times and ratios. And yes, about 80-85% of the dishes are gluten-free or can easily be made gluten-free, so I hope you'll find lots of variety to choose from. And so sweet that your son is excited about the tofu masala - i love that dish!
So much great food in this post! My IP is in need of some new gaskets. Gonna order them right now
I was going to give my instant pro crisp& Air fryer away to a friend because I was thinking it was to much work for making all these meals. But after watching these vegetarian recipes made in the instant pot, I am keeping mine, Lookforward to making all these recipes. Even deserts.
Thank Nisha
I’ve just bought your book. So excited!
I just found your channel,and now I am addicted! This is just what I needed to become fully vegan. I like that you make more basic comfort food,rather than super complex stuff all the time. Totally buying your book!
That is so sweet of you. I hope you will enjoy the recipes in the book!
@@RainbowPlantLife Can you do a video on vegan cheeses? I have heard a lot,but I would love to see some actually used,and know which ones you think are the best.
I live in the UK. I have a Pressure King Pro. PKP which I guess is the other version of the USA instant pot. I love your videos and yes I love my PKP. It's great for when No get home from work. My dinner is ready and keeps warm.
Ah yes i've heard of the pressure king pro! I'm glad you love using yours. So useful to be able to come home from a long day at work to dinner already waiting for you :)
Nice video, you get to the point and don't blab on . I love informative quick to the point videos, I don't mind stories as long as it doesn't take forever, which yours didn't cheers!
My mom and grandmother used their pressure cookers frequently, but the features and accessories on these contemporary models far exceed the capability of those original models. I am in my 50s and trying to eat healthier with more vegetables. I just might decide to buy an instant pot or other pressure cooker. Thanks for this highly informative and inspiring video. You made me smile too since cooking is not a perfect experience every time (teapot lid).
I know it’s basic but it makes beans and rice so easy that you can make several days’ worth and also learn different recipes to give them a wide variety of flavors. My favorite recent one is an African dish (IIRC) that has coconut milk and gives it a completely different flavor profile.
The other night I made classic style but only had one can of tomatoes. I filled it out with a can of pumpkin, spiced it up (and was so lazy I used dried onion lol) then finished it with a couple fistfuls of kale that I heated by putting the lid back on and let the pot sit for 10 minutes to heat it up. Was sooooo good.
I know that seemed like a lot but it was dump things->put on lid and set timer->did some gaming->came back a couple hours later and had an amazing dinner with enough leftovers for my roommate and I to have 2 more days’ worth of dinners.
I just bought myself an Instant Pot yesterday! I started watching your videos on IP cooking and realized this book looks familiar..... I went to my cook book shelf!!! wha laa there it was. So excited to get started! Thank you for your beautiful book.
Nisha's Instant Pot Cookbook is the best cookbook everrrrr! :) This video was great, so many amazing tips and always learning new things from you! :)
Aww thank you Jason! So grateful for your support - so happy you love my book and glad you learned some new tips today!

Hi Vivian!, hope you get to use it soon :) it is so useful!
Wow! I haven't had my Instant Pot that long. I will be getting your Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook!!!
Good morning😊 interesting video. I purchased one for Christmas. It still in the package. With this video I have more understanding of the wonders it can do. Yes, looking forward to recipes for instant pot. Thank you🤗
hi Monica! Sounds like this came at the perfect time 😉 hope you’ll enjoy using your instant pot now :)
great, looked it up and they have it in bulgaria, because I live there now for some reason.. The pumpkin (or squash?) was the trigger to order it ;)
Thanks again for the great vid, tips and positive vibes
Wow so informative! Thank you! Going to order your book
Wow Nicha,i didn't know you could use the instant pot in so many different ways.
But i am sold to buy one when my budget allows.
Seems like it will pay off in a very short period of time.
Thank you for this very useful and eye-opening video!❤
You’re so welcome :) I’m glad you found it to be so informative. Hope you’ll be able to get one soon!
Such a great video!!! Thanks so much! I will watch it over and over. And the PDF is spectacular!
Aww Nealie, you are too kind. I am glad you found the information in the video and PDF helpful.
I love my Instant Pot!!! Thanks for the recipes they look YUMMY!!!!
Just received your cookbook yesterday. Can’t wait to try some new recipes!
Okay Nisha, I’ve been telling myself I don’t need an instant pot but I FINALLY gave in and got the mini (it’s all I would need). AND purchased your book as well 😁📖 Love your recipes and your fun demeanor - Happy cooking 🥂
Aww thank you Emilia! So happy you have an instant pot now and my book. I appreciate it!
Are these available in the UK?
Hi Emilia - not sure if you will see this a year later but was wondering what you meant by the mini? I live alone so don’t need much but all the models seem huge - would be great to know which one you’re referring to
@@KT-no8ll it’s a 3 quart size IP, perfect size for me
@@Mialuvsveggies Oh u legend, thankyou so much!!! Very roughly, how many servings is the 3l if u were to cook a full meal in it (rather than a side like rice)
I need to buy instant pot while am in usa in may for my cousin graduation i have your cookbook drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
I’m glad you love my cookbook! Hope you’ll be able to get one while you’re in the US :)
Just bought instant pot and your book! So excited to eat heathy and easier!
I have been on the fence about purchasing an instant pot for fear that I won’t use it. But, you are changing my mind!
Glad to hear that, Rosy! There are so many useful things to make in an instant pot - hope you get to try cooking in it soon!
Have been thinking about getting an Instant Pot for a while, but your video's finally convinced me, plus Amazon Australia is having a 15% off sale. So I ordered the 6L today, along with spare seals. Should mention I also bought your ebook cookbook as well, although it's disappointing we can't get the spiral bound here. Loving your recipes and awesome videos. You are a treasure Nisha, thank you so much!
Officially my favorite cooking TH-camr 😃
Aww I appreciate that! Thank you!
I just found your channel, and you're just wonderful and adorable and wholesome
Aww 🥰 so sweet of you to say!!
I am so excited by this video I've just seen! I have only just received my first ever Instant Pot, which I bought primarily so I could cook beans and pulses really... I'm starting on the MacDougall "Starch Solution" eating plan after the holidays and that means basically a vegan diet without added processed oils for cooking with. I''ve subscribed to your channel, of course, and liked this video. I can't wait to get stuck into making some great vegan meals to make me healthier while I'm keeping the winter cold out!
Love this! My instant pot and now my new air fryer really are my best friend and the most used appliances in my kitchen! I literally use one or the other almost every single day! Now I want to go make a bunch of food in the Instant Pot - cheesecake??? YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!
That's awesome you have both and have made best friends with them hehe. And yes, the Instant Pot makes such a good cheesecake!
Im so excited to have found your channel! Ive endless inspiration for cooking vegan meals in our Instant Pot now x
I made pasta in my IP, which I never thought to do. We need both regular and GF, so this is such a time & dish saver. To find the time, divide the package cooking time in half then deduct one minute, so many will cook in 4 minutes!
SO GRATEFUL for you and your channel. Can't wait to buy your cookbook. This is a W O N D E R F U L thing that you are doing.
I originally purchased the 3qt Dou Nova. Then Amazon had a sale on the 6qt Duo Nova. I now have both and they get used frequently!
Thank you so much for the great information about Instant pot. I will definitely buy it to cook for my boyfriend.
My mouth is watering. I'm sold!
I worship at the altar of Instant Pot. Best thing I have ever bought for the kitchen.
