Getting Started with your Instant Pot Gourmet 6qt from Costco 

Oh my Gosh. I’m so grateful I came across your video. The RED SEAL was driving me nuts!!! Yeah I can sleep now.

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ru-vid.comUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

Great tutorial!!! I was so confused by the book and you made it so easy for me to get started on this! Thank you!

Great job on the video. I was going to call customer service because I was trying to put the red ring in over the other ring. Also, so much easier to see how you close the pot. I feel much more confident now about using the pot. The whole idea of putting it together wrong and having a pressure accident was weighing on me heavily. thank you so much.

I bought this from Costco about a year ago but I’m just now I’m going to use it and try it out … the book was confusing a little bit I had unanswered questions and thank God I found you on RU-vid.. you did a very thorough job of explaining everything and help me a lot thank you thank you. You answered all my questions including about the extra seal ring 😀😀

Thanks. Glad I didn't try to mash the red ring into the lid, lol

Best video by far in explaining for “scaddy” cats like me! Wished I had seen yours first instead of having wasted my time on others!! Great job! Thank you!

I love the way you explained everything beginning with the seal as it should be done. I was already trying to install the red seal which as you aptly explained was not needed, and for that alone, I thank you. So many times instructors when writing the ho to do’s take little things for granted when explaining to people who know nothing about what is being explained. The taking apart the valves was also very helpful, and for that I thank you again. You are really very good, clear and to the point when explaining, and for that again I will say: muchas gracias from Costa Rica.

Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial on the instant pot duo gourmet. We just bought ours from Costco (yesterday) & have no idea how to use it! We had fun this evening unboxing ours, following your video. You do a great job explaining things! Thanks again...

Thank you so much for this video! I got this exact one for my birthday and we unboxed it today and had not a clue on how to get started. Your step by step was perfect! Thank you again!

You are very good at reviewing. Descriptive and answered most all questions you could ever have. :)

The red ring was driving me nuts! Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! This was just what I needed. I am glad I wasn't the only person confused regarding the red seal. Great video!

Thank You for a very informative video especially the RED (extra) gasket 🙂 Excellent Beginners Video

Thank you! I was confused about installing the seal....almost got the power tools out! That tip with the lid holders was great!

Perfectly simple demo. Thx. And no music in background fighting with your words. Thank you!! I was hoping to see you pull out the sealing ring and re- Insert it. Maybe an addition?? Thank you so much !!

I'm embarrassed at the amount of time I spent trying to get that red ring installed before finally coming to watch this video and finding out it's an extra!! Thanks for a great video for beginners like me!

If I had followed the book with that initial water test, it's worded in a way that indicates that the water should go on the element. The instructions WE got are terrible. Thank god for this video. Thank you so much

I just got this pot and I'm so glad I found this video. The directions are kinda sparse and confusing so here I am. This Instandpot is amazing and so convenient. It makes chicken congee in 30 minutes, whereas by hand it can take up to 1.5-2 hours and having to mix it every 15 mintues on a timer. So glad those days are over.

Thank you so much! Your video definitely works way better than their manual!!

Thank you for posting this video. I was almost return the pot because of not knowing the red sealer was the extra one and kept on trying to put that on.

I'm loving the black stainless steel. 👍

I just want to say how much I appreciate your thorough explanation of this Instant Pot. When I opened the box of mine and I found that red ring I assumed it was the seal. However in reading the book I couldn't find any mention of a red seal ring. I watched several RU-vid videos of people opening their box, etc. but none of them mentioned or even showed this red ring. I was already a little nervous using this appliance but when I couldn't find out anything about this red ring I was even more afraid to use for fear it was going to blow up or something since I didn't know where it went or anything. I was so relieved when I discovered your video pic with the red ring on it and your explanation of it being just an extra seal. Thank you so much for taking the time to go from the beginning and on forth. I appreciate you!

I've never used a pressure cooker before and was actually a tiny bit afraid of using one. But the technology has progressed so far that you really have to go out of your way to blow one up. So, when I got one over the holidays, I was glad you posted your video with your clear explanation on how to use this device. Thanks again.

Thanks so much! Awesome job🙌🏽. I was really trying to put the red ring in. Glad you explained that it was an extra! Lol

Excellent. At my age I am not easily impressed but your video tops the charts. You get an A+ or higher.

Thank you, thank you, thankyou!! Very different from my first Instant Pot, I had no idea I could use my finger, much less what was supposed to press down to QR. I love Instant Pot but their instructions leave a LOT to be desired - that's why we need you. Thank you again!

I got the same model from Costco. I should just have check this out, before I wasted a couple of hours trying to figure out the "spare" sealing ring. Don't read the manual, come to youtube. I gave away my old Instant pot a couple weeks ago, and realize I need it again. Thank you for the straight forward instructions.

Just got it out. Your button explanations are concise and relevant. Thanks!

This was so helpful the red seal was giving me anxiety.

Didn't even have to watch the video, comments answered my question about the red sealing ring. 🤣 (its an extra, the clear one should already be installed. 😉)

Thank you so much!! I was so confused with the extra ring! Can you say “ LIFESAVER “ 👍🏾❤️

Thank you so much very grateful that you took time to do this! God bless! Kari

Thank you for that great tutorial, it was so helpful. You made it so easy!

I checked thru the Costco reviews for this product. No one complained about having two of the same spoons. They did complain about buying it thru Costco online and the unit coming dented, poorly packaged, missing items, etc. Best bet is to purchase in the warehouse. It seems to have gotten good reviews so far.

Thank you so much for your very informative step by step Video. I’ve gone through so many trying to find out how to seal my cooker and you explained that so well! I have the instant pot with the separate quick release button like you do on this video and what you said - that the cooker seals by itself answered my question! Thank you!

Good gravy, really appreciate your tutorial very professional.

Amazing, thank you! Makes the use of the Instant Pot less daunting for new users.

This was very helpful! I was confused with the book. Thank you!

Thank you for your clear concise instructions. The booklet I found was very confusing, ie the red ring vs the clear ring!

Oh my gosh, thank you for explaining about how it automatically turns to sealing! So many videos say to make sure you turn it to sealing and I couldn’t figure out how to do it with this one!

Thanks so much for doing an unboxing for the Costco model! Awesome tutorial!

Thank you for the video! I could't figure it out the red sealing ring!!

Just wanted to thank you for posting about the 8 qt on sale at Target. I was able to order one today. I've been wanting an eigt 8 for awhile and you sure can't beat this price. I even got free shipping.

Very good job on presenting. Very Well explained. overall great video review keep up the good work.... Thank you 😊

Nice Ty!! . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 👍🤛

Thanks so much! This has been sitting on my kitchen table for two weeks. Now I'm ready to use it!

Thank you! You're like the smart sister I never had, that knows how to do things.

Excellent description in detail of all the parts and how to use the buttons; highly helpful video for beginners !

wow thanks so much for explaining. I received this as a gift. I was a bit nervous to use this. Thank you again for sharing and making our life easy.

Hi I usually find these vids annoying but u nailed it well. Will be subscribing. It's too the point and from a new item curiosity perspective. Thank you x

Excellent video demo - thank you so much!

I just bought one I'm ready to start using it already

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

Thank you! This was very helpful easy to understand.

Thank you so much for this video ! i feel like a pro now ! thanks again

Thank you for the information. I was intimidated by my Duo but you have put me at peace.

OMG thank you sooooo muchhhhh!!! I was scared at first.. now I feel like I am ready!

Excellent explanation of how to set up and start. The manual included confused me with the extra ring.

Thank you. Your step-by-step instruction really helps.

Very interesting just purchased first pot thank you

Thanks so much it helped me out alot..because it was very confusing.. I subscribed to watch more of your videos..Thank you

Glad I saw this. Was ready to return after watching six sisters who use the Lux model.

I am very glad to find this demonstration for this pot. I am new to the instant pot family. I didn’t realize it didn’t have a steam setting, but I have been told I can still steam my veggies. I am less intimidated now. Many thanks. Very good and clear instructions.

Just bought this model. As earlier stated, it's a little intimidating for a person like myself who is not a cook and certainly not a chef. Great tutorial, and Yes, the instructional booklet is a bit confusing. Thank you, I'm ready to use this instant pot. I'm trying it out, now.

Thanks for the video! It helped us a great deal!!!

What an excellent demonstration! Thank you so much!

Thank you, your tutorial was excellent executed and very helpful

OMG! I am so happy I checked out RU-vid and came across your video. Like others, I was confounded by this red ring and I just checked my lid and sure enough the clear plastic lid is in there. Nowhere in the instruction booklet does it say this. Thank you so much for this wonderful instructional video. I look forward to your other videos. Bon appétit!

Thank you! This was very informative.

Thank you so much this helps me a lot!!!!!!!!🙏🙏

Thanks so much for this great video and all the videos in your channel!!.. I have followed all your guidance on how to do the first test with the water and worked perfectly!.. now I have made my first rice with one of your videos. Looking forward to keep exploring your channel, you explain everything so well and with much detail. Thanks again and greetings from Iceland 🇮🇸 🥰👍🌷

Excellent . Best demo of product I’ve seen.

I use those silicone pot holders as salad scoopers

TY for showing your new gadget of the Instant Pot Gourmet. That's so cool. God bless you for having all these Instant Pot collections! Stay safe! Happy Holidays

Fantastic video thank u so much your video really helps!

This was very helpful, thank you.

Thanks so much for a great, detailed video and I think you'll have saved me some frustration!

I rarely use a preset because I like to choose my own temp, pressure, and time settings. During the warmer weather I've been using my air fryer more. Since the weather has cooled a bit I'm using my IP more frequently.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very, very helpful and informative.

You are an excellent teacher. Thanks so much!

10/10 beginner's guide vid. Thank you very much for making this video. 🙏👍

I just bought mine ..2-21-21 video was very helpful thank you ..

Thank you 😊 great tutorial

Thank you very much, appreciate your excellent presentation. Loved it!

That was so helpful thank you so much❤

Thanks. Very helpful, and straight to the point.

Thank you so much for your info.

I bought my Instant pot in January but it seemed scary. When I was kid my mother had a pressure pot explode. I read the instruction book and its crappy for visual learning. Thank you for video, I just unpacked it with you.

Thank you I just got one yesterday from Costco and I wasn’t sure how to lock the lid

I did not know there were TWO red mitts! Thank You!

I guess everyone is just like me going crazy with the red seal. It’s confusing because on the instructions it uses the red seal to be put on. I didn’t see any note saying it was an extra . Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much for a very helpful and informative video. You've helped my confidence as a beginner to pressure cooking.

I wish they would release a model with inner pot like duo evo plus and a smart wifi. That would make it perfect

Wonderful presentation. I bought today for me. Thanks for sharing.

Best tutorial I've seen.. thank you!!

Just ordered one of these today, cant wait to get it, i had the power pressure cooker XL it sucked bad lol
