What size pots are those??????
I’ve made the short ribs a few times and they’ve been amazing, an issue that I get is that I get a food burn warning fairly often following this. Any one have any recommendations??
Are you using the 5.7 or 8L in this video?
I saw another video where the girl used a big clip to hold the pot from spinning. I was ahhh brilliant. I think I saw big clips at harbor freight.
I love this video, I've been using pressure cooker for 40 years. Your recipes are awesome! Thank you so much Sam 🙂
Hello I could wrong but isn’t having a crock pot / vs instant pot ? Crock pot throw all your items in set it wall away now I just watched this guy cooking meat then cooking vegetables all this work then he’s setting time and walking away I don’t know lol simple is the key word to me
Best instant pot video I've seen yey
whats a good red white to cook with
….what did you do to that can of tomato paste?
Instantpot makes many accessories, a clip for that among them😊
I have an insta pot, and I've only used it once. I will be pulling it out again. Thanks!!
My son bought me your knife..definitely the best day ever
“Zest of one big ass orange” lol please make a cook book
The jambalaya and the short rib ragu are both DELICIOUS! We passed the jambalaya recipe on to some friends and they love it as well!
Damn YUMMM !!!! Thanks great video keep those IP recipes coming !!!
Ribs looked super dry lol
Now this is a real chef.
I think cut spaghetti squash in half, scoop out insides, cook for 7 minutes on manual on the included rack, adding a cup of water, and immediately release pressure is the simplest Instant Pot recipe. Also one can use the arborial rice used in risotto and basically put in anything from kale, any meat, mushrooms, etc., and get something wonderful.
"Max's Moist Nostrils" needs to be a teeshirt.
Can’t wait to try these. It’s funny because I do this sometimes, making multiple meals so I don’t have to cook the next day
Pass it through my iPad screen. I’ll be sure not to waste nothing ✅
Ok I seem to have missed placed my bowl of those short ribs. Can you hand me that back!!!!!!!😎
This IP garbage is such trash. Followed all directions, did everything right, the thing wouldn't come to pressure at any juncture. Just sat there "on" while hissing for 25 mins. Then I turned "keep warm" off and it started to "burn food" within seconds. Wasted food. Wasted time. Could've cooked this on the stove with far better results in half the time. Wish I could return the garbage.
"Snap Fuck" was priceless.
5 instant pot dishes! You are the “beast”. WOW: The recipe for the ribs came out delicious. Keep bringing it on.
These five recipes are great, but following each one, as they are interspersed with each other, is difficult and time-wasting. But, let me repeat: these are fab recipes.
If you put bacon in the mac, it’ll make it even more amazing.
I like the bass sound between sets, also could you do a Sam the really drunk cooking guy with cussing and swearing, I think it would be fun. P.S. killer recipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice background….🧐
Mine doesn’t spin because I got the crockpot pressure cooker that is oval! No spinning
Everything looks good besides that jambalaya. That's not jambalaya, boss.
You made me want 5 instant pots. And when you were making mac and cheese and added the cream and said you could use milk BUT DON'T 🤣
What size insta pot are you using? I just bought the 3 qt model to see if I like it and I absolutely LOVE IT! I'll be buying the bigger model most likely in the future.
Tried the ribs las tnight and really amazing!
Love your recipes! I’m a new fan! I use an extra large binder clip to stop the inner pot from turning while I am stirring. 👩🍳
Gave up on the instant pot until now. After seeing these recipes I decided to give it another try. Made 3 of the recipes this week and to my surprise they turned out fantastic. I made the orange chicken, short rib ragu, and the jambalaya. They were all very flavorful and delicious…..
OMGosh !!! I am SOOOOOOOO making ALL !!!! Wow!!!!
Everything looks delicious, but I could do without the profanity! (Oh I know- it’s supposed to be cool now 🙄)
Where in Canada are you from Sam? I hear it!
Foul language is so sad
You used plastic food tongs here. Just watched a previous video where stainlesss steel was used, touching and scraping the pressure cooker. I know you can just buy another pot but that offended my eyes and my wallet. Great recipes btw.
