I have the 3 Qt Instant Pot and had not used it since buying it over a year and a half ago, and also have accessories which I purchased over 6 months ago and just took them out and cleaned them all up and boiled some eggs and they was cooked perfectly. Your video was very educational and new users will appreciate the information you gave us.
Thanks Olga- lm doing research into the instant pot versus a crock pots before purchase. Your info has been really helpful- especially liked the extra seal tips. 🌟
Well done! One thing that I think is worth mentioning is that you should not manually release the pressure when you are cooking things like beans, noodles, rice, etc. The contents will come splattering out with the steam. In those cases, let the pressure gradually go down on its own.
Very nice presentation this video should help the new owners of the instant pot. The instant pot is not like your grandma's pressure cooker it's very safe and convenient.
Hi Olga. Just found your channel and subscribed. I bought the 6 qt. Instant Pot last winter, but chose to get serious with warmer weather. We are rural/farming folks. I tend to use my kitchen wood stove and gas stove to cook and heat up the kitchen on cold days.That said, I like the concept of the electric pressure cooker, so I am giving it try and appreciate your channel and tips. Please keep them coming! Thank you. Diane- Hersey Farm-East Andover, New Hampshire.
Thanks for the easy to understand instructions, Olga! Do you speak Russian? If so, could you please make an Instant Pot for Beginner in the Russian language? I have not been able to find the instruction manual in Russian. Thank you!
Making hard boiled eggs is the best-many years ago I was making stuffed eggs for work and the shells wouldn’t come off, I had to get more eggs. Love this feature ❤ I’d buy it just for hard boiled eggs!
Information is very clear. Thanks for the info. One problem - the link to the sealing rings doesn't work. What was the name brand of sealing rings you purchased on Amazon?
Could someone please clear this up for me -- so for the eggs you put in on 5 minutes, or do you have to add time for it to seal, so it's actually more? Also, do you ave to adjust the heat level, or should it be n the highest? Thanks!
This video was great. I love how you went into details with how to use the buttons and how to properly vent. What some other videos are missing. Also.. when I tried cooking with mine it kept saying BURN. What does that mean, please?
@@OlgasFlavorFactory LOL. That was definitely a thought. I ended up cooking oxtails for like 3 hours instead of 1. Ugh.... I'm making a whole chicken in there tonight. Thank you so much for your response. Am a subbie now. 😁
Put in water first, then oats ,don't add sugar or raisins as they stick to the bottom of the bowl. Turn it off if it says burn, vent it and open and wait.
Excellent presentation - clear and concise explanations!!! Thank you very much. Recently we started using Instant Pot and find it amazingly useful. It's time to feed a new hungry subscriber:-) Stay connected...
I put my boiled eggs in fridge still in shell covered with water . So easy to pell and fridge life should be 3 + longer. Peel as you are ready to have one.
Can I safely add a teaspoon of extract to the 1 cup of water for the bottom of the pot when baking a cake or might the alcohol in the extract cause problems? Will it add flavor to the cake? What if I used a real alcohol, like rum. Would it add flavor to the cake?. I am enjoying your video and your cheery disposition. Many thanks! for your sharing your education with us!
Good tutorial for beginners. My instant pot looks just like the one in this video but there is no manual setting. Is the pressure button the same as using manual?
I just received my 6-quart instapot. There is not a manual button on mine. The button says delay start where you have a manual button. I wish I had the manual. Of course they had to change it up. Delay start is not the same as manual so how can I do the manual operation? Thank you.
Hi Shannon. My Instant Pot is an older version. The Manual option is used as an all purpose option. Newer models have a "Pressure Level" option that you can use for the same function.
Thank you Olya! I've just purchased IP Instant Pot 60 DUO Plus (2017 made). However, I noticed that there is a newer version - Duo Nova (2019), that has an instant sealing lid and extra sealing ring. I am so new to it and was wondering if it make sense to exchange the purchased one for an updated version? What would you say? Amazon is really good at exchanging now. Thank you.
Great video and suggestion with spare sealing rings. (I've been cleaning mine with a touch of white vinegar but will by some.) Like an idiot, me, an experienced cook, poured the liquids TWICE into the inner container not the stainless steel container!
Hi Olga, thank you for the great video. I bought Express Pot 14-in-1 Multi-Cooker Electric Pressure Cooker. Is it actually an instant pot? All these names are so confusing! haha
Dishwashing soap and a sponge. If there are some tough things to clean - I use the scouring pads that I talked about in this post on my website. www.olgasflavorfactory.com/recipes/miscellaneous/a-few-of-my-favorite-things-giveaway/
What happens when you don’t hear the music when opening the lid, is it closing properly or am I not secure with a close lid? I have not use, still trying to understand!!!
I personally don’t usually don’t start cooking meat while it’s still frozen, unless I’m making broth. In my opinion, it’s a lot more flavorful if it’s thawed, and also seared first.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory yes...me too...and I learned a tip...when putting the IP away...don't close the lid...turn it upside down so that the sealing ring is exposed to the air while it is waiting to be used again. This was a great help in reducing the ring odour.
The best video out there for the beginners ❤

Thank You so much for the set-by-set tutorial. I appreciate it.
Thank you for the video! I love the fact that you are actually cooking not just talking with a pot next to you.

Good tip!
Thank you! Great video. I’m using my insta pot for the first time!
Thank you for such a clear tutorial on the Instant Pot.
One of the best instant pot beginner vids i‘ve seen.
Very nice presentation this video should help the new owners of the instant pot. The instant pot is not like your grandma's pressure cooker it's very safe and convenient.
Just a heads up. To keep your sealing ring odor free just soak it in some baking soda & warm water for about 30 minutes.
Thanks for the great video, clear instructions and tips. Really helpful. It was very professional. Guess I will have to unpack mine now....

Thank you, Olga! I bought mine about a month ago and have been so intimidated by it that I've yet to use it. :) Eggs look amazing!
Thank you. This has been the best instruction I've seen yet!

Thank you. Could you make a playlist of instant pot videos? I’d find that helpful.
Thank you for the great video!
Thanks, Olga! I hardly use mine because I just don’t know how to use it well! Xo
I hope this will help you get some use from it.
My Instant Pot DUO doesn't have a manual button. what pressure did you cook the eggs on? low or high?
Could someone please clear this up for me -- so for the eggs you put in on 5 minutes, or do you have to add time for it to seal, so it's actually more? Also, do you ave to adjust the heat level, or should it be n the highest? Thanks!
This video was great. I love how you went into details with how to use the buttons and how to properly vent. What some other videos are missing. Also.. when I tried cooking with mine it kept saying BURN. What does that mean, please?
Penny Christian Hi Penny!
If it says Burn, it means you’re not using enough liquid, and the bottom of the inner chamber if the Instant Pot is burning.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory LOL. That was definitely a thought. I ended up cooking oxtails for like 3 hours instead of 1. Ugh.... I'm making a whole chicken in there tonight. Thank you so much for your response. Am a subbie now. 😁

Thank you for an amazing video. Your explanation is so clear. How about some videos how to make ribs etc in instant pot?
Yes! I want this too
Excellent presentation - clear and concise explanations!!! Thank you very much. Recently we started using Instant Pot and find it amazingly useful. It's time to feed a new hungry subscriber:-) Stay connected...
AKitchenAdvisor there was no explanation on which pressure to use, what happens if you use too high of a pressure for too long
Thank you! Can you make more videos using instant pot?
Just purchased a pot. Would love some recipes.
I put my boiled eggs in fridge still in shell covered with water . So easy to pell and fridge life should be 3 + longer. Peel as you are ready to have one.
Beautiful explanation thank you
It was one of the best presentation on insta pot. Olga on the suate mode do we have to stir the ingredients or just leave it and do we close the lid ?
Good info and video!
5 STARS...... Smart girl !
Thanks very helpful
Thanks, very informative.
Nice introductory. What is wrong when the steam comes out continuously?
Can I safely add a teaspoon of extract to the 1 cup of water for the bottom of the pot when baking a cake or might the alcohol in the extract cause problems? Will it add flavor to the cake? What if I used a real alcohol, like rum. Would it add flavor to the cake?. I am enjoying your video and your cheery disposition. Many thanks! for your sharing your education with us!
Great video!!
Thank you Olga!!!
Nicely done. Thanks.
Thanks Olga. Can't wait to try cooking some eggs
Good tutorial for beginners. My instant pot looks just like the one in this video but there is no manual setting. Is the pressure button the same as using manual?
Yes
Can you cook a pot roast or a butterball turkey breast in the instant pot??
Love thos idea with the eggs, gotta try. Thanks so much.

@@OlgasFlavorFactory Oh, I see. Thank you very much for answering.
Good job
Steaming Basket: Will the top (bakelight) black handle melt in the IP due to the high pressure and steam?
So is it 5 minutes the heat that is and 5 minutes to cook the eggs?
I am New using the instant pot and I do not have A button that says manual. Mine says delete start? Where are you were pointing to your manual button?
You are so cute and I love the way you showed me how to use my new Instant Pot.
Now, go and cook some food in your instant pot, instead of "cooking" her image in your mind! Lol!
Thank you ! You’re lovely x
@Victoria Burdett yes I agree and she is the only YT channel I've seen to share about the odor in the sealing ring.
How to you make real pasta sauce and meatballs start to finish ? . Ty 👍😁👌 , Sharon
Thank you Olya! I've just purchased IP Instant Pot 60 DUO Plus (2017 made). However, I noticed that there is a newer version - Duo Nova (2019), that has an instant sealing lid and extra sealing ring.

@alex Goodmornin - my IP came with one clear and one red sealing ring. Colors are not bad, I guess
Can you presser fry in this.
Great video 😊
Thanks Olga!
Great video and suggestion with spare sealing rings. (I've been cleaning mine with a touch of white vinegar but will by some.)
Like an idiot, me, an experienced cook, poured the liquids TWICE into the inner container not the stainless steel container!
My pot is stuck in my basket. Any tips on how to loosen?
Olga do you have a recipe for low fat ricotta cheese also low fat youghurt
thank you!
Great presentation. Which model are you showing? It shows a manual setting which I would prefer. Thank you.
Fran Smith I bought exactly the same from her blog www.olgasflavorfactory.com
Can you roast abreast of chicken in the pot
Why I cannot close my Insatant pot?. Any special al tips?
Our instant pot has no manual button, it has pressure level ,so I use pressure level instead of manual? Confused.
Jean Hatfield me too 😢
Duo model has pressure cook ( bottom right) and I think it is lux that has manual. Six sisters is also a good site. Hope this helps
Hi Olga, thank you for the great video. I bought Express Pot 14-in-1 Multi-Cooker Electric Pressure Cooker. Is it actually an instant pot? All these names are so confusing! haha
Instant Pot is a brand name for an electric pressure cooker. Looking at a photo of your Express Pot, the answer is yes.
@@lorrainehofmann7241 oh thank you!
I was advised that it’s unsafe to cover the steam release with a towel, as well as causing damage to the lid.
I just got mine takes forever to get pressure I don’t get all those videos on here I pressed soup am I suppose to press pressure first then soup
Sorry hit the wrong thumb button I like the video thankU
Hi Olga. May I know how do u clean your instant pot? Still like new. Can u share how?
Dishwashing soap and a sponge. If there are some tough things to clean - I use the scouring pads that I talked about in this post on my website. www.olgasflavorfactory.com/recipes/miscellaneous/a-few-of-my-favorite-things-giveaway/
my pot does not have pressure button so what do i use
hi ogla please show me how to boil rajma any daal
hi great video you said that you use Manuel for almost everything what is it you are cooking to use another option
Yogurt and Saute are the only other options that I use. Saute, when I want to brown something, Yogurt for making yogurt and ricotta cheese.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory thanks for the reply.
good job
Can you do canning with mason jar
What happens when you don’t hear the music when opening the lid, is it closing properly or am I not secure with a close lid? I have not use, still trying to understand!!!
Is it possible to start a chuck steak while frozen?
I personally don’t usually don’t start cooking meat while it’s still frozen, unless I’m making broth. In my opinion, it’s a lot more flavorful if it’s thawed, and also seared first.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory Thanks very much, Olga! Your video is the best one yet!
@@melaniebruno4632 Thank you:). So glad it was helpful.
Thank you for the review, can you tell me what brand is your IP? Or any brand will give the same results
Instant pot is on it own
The pot in the video is Instant Pot brand.
Is there a special way of cleaning the lid? On the inside?
I just use dish soap and a regular kitchen sponge.
@@OlgasFlavorFactory yes...me too...and I learned a tip...when putting the IP away...don't close the lid...turn it upside down so that the sealing ring is exposed to the air while it is waiting to be used again. This was a great help in reducing the ring odour.
Can I use also for te?
