Don’t worry I’ll give you extra sauce at the end
I have finally found you! Thank you! I have been struggling with cooking Asian food as it usually takes really long, and lots of prepping. You are helping me make cooking faster and still get to eat my Asian food!
There's no mention of how much sugar or milk goes in the rice pudding🤔🤔
Am I missing this somewhere?
Need written recipes so I don't have to keep pausing with dirty hands and getting everything over my screen
How much water are you adding for rice pudding, why don't you tell us?
Love your channel ❤. Lisa just wanted to let you know I ordered your cook book. Thank you .
You didn't add water to chicken?
Traditional rice cooker probably does rice better than an instapot. Instapot cooked rice looks very soggy
Where can i get a mickey mouse inspired instapot?
I am sorry to ask you a question
Why don’t you wash chicken, rice , and beef ?
Any reason you guys not clean or wash CHIK , BEEF AND RICE 🙁
I am in the UK and we don’t have Farlife milk. Can I use any milk ?
Can you adopt me? Please?
Poor animals being eaten
Where did you get the Mickey Mouse Cover? Love it!!
Wash your rice.
What a great, helpful video, I wish I would have seen this when I first got the Instant pot (a DVD of you should really come with the machine). ("Oh that's what that means" "Now I understand why that happened", etc. etc). Lisa is a gifted instructor. Highly recommend.
FANTASTIC JOB! TY:)
I agree with the other people.. please do a detailed description! I will support you and buy your cookbooks just please tell us 😩
For marinading meat prior to cooking, I like freezer bags over the pot.
You can squeeze out all the air, ensuring more meat to marinade contact.
And "stirring" to make sure all the meat sides get their chance at marinade is just a matter of squishing the bag in different directions.
The bag can be stored in the fridge using minimal space too.
Kahlua pig!
I love this . I'm going to try this
Love the recipes! Always wash your rice to get rid of unwanted stuff on it (arsenic, for example).
The easiest wait to peel an egg is with a spoon
Your book says cooking for one. I cook for either 4 or 6, sometimes 8. How can I adjust for that amount of people? By the way, delicious cooking.
Thank you for these videos!
On my new chanel is what Instant Pot does when the every fuses fail. The explosion is not as terrible as they say. Only steam.
I'm a student and i only have a rice cooker. Can i do the same recipes with my rice cooker ?
Your food has no flavor no seasoning at all
04:13 “… cook for 120 minutes … this will take about 30 minutes” Can someone explain this to me?
Lisa, I just love all of your videos!!! I cannot wait to try these recipes. I have made the yogurt and it is AMAZING!!! Thank you for all you do!!! You are a god-send!! Much love!
Hi this instant pot is easy to clean ? Will it burn food at the bottom?
Love this
Thanks you……..I m watching this today….missed this….saving this too…😋😊
Should have made 3 recipe videos instead of 25 recipe video.. both for us and viewers and for your viewer count..
No seasonings
Amazing! I desperately needed ideas for my ninja foodie pressure cooker
Boy when I saw her put all that plain ass chicken in there I just knew this wasn't for me
great stuff!
Great ideas BUT please wash your rice and season your meat before cooking. Those chicken drumsticks looked so sad. Even after the sauce was put on. And a tip. For the perfect white rice: wash rice until water is clear, use 1:1 measurements. 1 cup of rice : 1 cup of water, a pinch of salt and put it on 4 min / high pressure. After 4 min release pressure (no natural release).
On the potato soup recipe what setting is the bacon in at the beginning when frying it?
I’m a new IP owner!! 😊

Wow, I am Hawaiian and it's been a very long time since I've had kalua pig cooked the traditional way. Can't wait to try your recipe for a quick version …… now if I could only find poi to eat with it 😄. Thank you for sharing this.
