  1. Hi ladies, I'm new to the instant pot world and love your video tutorials. I discovered this neat tip by accident!!!

    When I realized I couldn't add the broccoli during cooking, I added the uncooked broccoli right after I vented and replaced the lid for 5 min. There is enough steam left in the pot to cook the broccoli perfectly. ☺

  2. Hi Kristan and Kendra. Fantastic meals, I like them all. That mac and cheese looks soooooo good, and simple too. Thanks for more great recipes and tips… Hugs. Claudia

  3. What's great, IMO, about the chicken & rice recipe is that you don't need to use JUST teriyaki sauce. You could make this in whatever version you want! Switch it out for a cheddar or cream version just as easy.

  4. Maybe try using REAL carrots in your recipes. They say those baby carrots (some call them fake, genetically fab) & that they are Not for cooking, but for snacking, dips, salads etc. raw eating not cooking with. They don’t add any real flavor to your recipes. Try real carrots, you’ll notice a big difference incl the texture!!

  5. literally no one wants to learn to cook from people like this…buffalo chicken wings how could they possibly have conquered such an elaborate recipe

  6. I just got mine delivered. “ A Duo “ can’t wait to use it. I hope you also show us the air fryer feature. Which if you do . TY mine don’t have a steamer basket. Can I get the one you have on Amazon?
