Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Instant Pot Mini. This is the Lux model. LINK: amzn.to/2GJI1be
RICE FUNCTION VIDEO: • Instant Pot Mini Rice ...
FROZEN CHICKEN: • Instant Pot Mini Froze...
MINI DUO REVIEW: • Instant Pot Duo Mini R...
I’ve already reviewed the mini duo model and if you want to see that review, I’ve put a link in the description below. I will go over the differences between the Lux and the Duo in another video. This Lux model is the least expensive Instant Pot you can buy. It’s 700 watts. 11.5 inches long, 10.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches tall. It weighs 8.5 lbs. The cord is about 30 inches long.
The inner pot is stainless steel and holds 3 quarts. There is a ⅔ line marked in the pot and you shouldn’t fill above this line. If you’re making foods that expand like rice or beans, don’t fill above the ½ line. Included is plastic spoon and ladle, measuring cup, steam rack, condensation collector, quick reference guide, instruction manual and recipe booklet with recipes for soups, salads, quinoa, rice, beans, meat and desserts like cake and creme brulee. You can use heatproof dishes, jars, mugs and springform pans in this unit. There is a cooking timetable for rice, beans, meat and vegetables. It’s very thorough. The only thing about the recipes - I wish they would have specified if each recipe would work in
this mini since it’s much smaller than the next largest Instant Pot at 5 qts. I guess because the mini is a newer model and they probably didn’t have time to update the recipe book. Instant Pot does suggest cutting most recipes in half to use in the Mini. I’ve made chicken curry in the Duo model review if you want to have an idea of how much meat you can fit in the Mini. I’ll also upload some other recipes for the Mini, so subscribe to stay tuned for those and you can save time with experimenting.
Thanks for watching! I'll see you next time :)

I really wish the manual was specific to each model. It's a shame we're having to watch RU-vid videos to learn how to use these minis.... thanks for your help!

Thank you! This was an excellent video! I have watched several videos about the Instant Pot, but none were specifically just for the Lux Mini. In addition, some of the other videos skipped past describing the various buttons, their functions, and the features or how they were used😌 And that great tip-- explaining the caution of natural release and quick release-- where certain food items were concerned was priceless! I've had my Instant Pot Lux Mini, well over a year now-- but tonight after viewing your channel, was the first time I felt confident enough to actually USE IT😜 I appreciate your getting right to the point-- yet-- very thorough! That helped me sooooo much!

Great and very helpful video. Very well-presented. Question: I just did the steam test on my Lux Mini. Is a small amount of steam coming out of the center of the valve normal? After the test timed out and I released steam via the valve, there was still a lot of steam pressure inside. Just curious. Thank you.
@bestkitchenreviews
@bestkitchenreviews 6 лет назад
Hi, glad you liked the video! Yes, it's normal for a small amount of steam to come out of the valve. After the float valve drops down, it is safe to open the lid. There will be some steam inside the unit. 😀

I was wondering what happened to the adjust when I pushed the pressure cooker button! So if we only hit the meat button and then adjust, is it pressure cooking? The manual really does a bad job of explaining these things. Thank you for your video.

I just purchased used one and after doing a complete cleaning I did a water test. Steam came out along with moisture around the lid. The gasket appeared sound.
@secondact7151
@secondact7151 5 лет назад
I did the steam test and assume setting the time to two minutes means it will turn off after two minutes, but mine just keeps right on going. Did I do something wrong or just was lucky enough to get a defective unit. I tried the test twice. Both times it went for ten to fifteen minutes and never shut off. Also do the instant pots continuously release steam while cooking?
@bestkitchenreviews
@bestkitchenreviews 5 лет назад
Hi, in the video, I mentioned that it took 12 minutes for the unit to come up to pressure. Then, the unit counts down the 2 minutes. After the countdown, the unit automatically goes into keep warm mode. You have to press the cancel button to turn off the unit. You may see some steam while cooking but it should not be continuous. The handle should be turned to sealing before cooking. Hope that helps 😀
@secondact7151
@secondact7151 5 лет назад
@@bestkitchenreviews Thanks for your answer. I figured it out. Mine never came up to pressure at all becasue the pressure and relief selector know was not pushed down far enough.

Question …. I have a 6qt. Insta Pot and use it often . I was given a 3qt. Pot and will put it in our RV. If I cut the recipes for my 6qt pot in half should I use the same times that are given for the 6 qt. pot? Or will the times need to be adjusted somehow?

Does this unit put off any heat? I've never owned pressure cooker and would love to have something that doesn't heat up the kitchen in the summertime!

Wait, it takes 12 minutes to come to pressure? Doesn’t that just make the whole idea of this being a quicker way to cook not so quick? I just tried my Instagram pot tonight. I put in my ingredients, set the pot to pressure cook and set it for 18 minutes. It said on, so I thought I was set. I started Vegas salad etc. made rice on the stove all the while thinking everything would be done in 20 mins…nope. It took about 15 mins I guess when all the sudden I see the minutes show up at 18 mins…I was confused because I was smelling the food cooking the whole time. I let it run the 18 mins., but felt like it was cooked too long. So now I understand you need to wait 15 mins before it actually starts cooking. I think.

Any pressure cooker, stovetop or electric has to come up to pressure before cooking time counts down. Most food will cook in less time in the pressure cooker than in a regular pot on the stove. The most convenient part is that you don’t have to check on your food 😁

Not sure on the water test. Waited 20 min. Twice. Shut it off? It started steam releasing at 5 min. So I waited... after my timer hit 20 min from the start. I shut off.. should I have waited?

I bought this pot the other day I was able to do the initial water test, then I was able to make rice, since then I cannot get it to work for anything other than rice. The adjust button doesn’t work and the less/normal/more lights don’t come on. I keep thinking I must be doing something wrong but I don’t think I am. I’m following the instructions to a T.
