I am having trouble trying to cook corn on the cob. In order to get 2 minutes on high pressure which buttons do I have to push to get 2 minutes.
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Kathy! That will depend on the model you have. I would suggest using the manual or pressure cook button and then use the +/- buttons to adjust until it reads "2". If you don't have a model with manual or pressure cook, please let me know and I can walk you through your specific model 🙂
Lynette Kirchner
Hey hon, shuck all the corn put it in your cooler and pour boiling water over corn to cover add a couple teaspoon of sugar and a couple of butter close lid tightly wait 30 min. And you will have the worlds best corn

Is a electric pressure cooker, same, or similar to IP?
Kristen Chidsey
Yes, most electric pressure cookers work very similarly.

I have a Fagor pressure cooker(not electric). Will these tips help me?
I have it pretty well mastered but would like additional tips. In the future I may purchase an electric.
Thank you.
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Carol! These tips are designed for electric pressure cookers, not traditional stove-top models. But they may help you decide if you want an electric pressure cooker in the future.

I like your advice! We got a three quart IP for going camping in a sprinter (get it in November). Want to count on making spaghetti with sauce. Don’t have a handle on the sauce/water/pasta amounts. Small rig. Don’t have room for a lot of ingredients!
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Linda! I hope you enjoy your adventure and I know you will love your instant pot. I have a recipe for Instant Pot Spaghetti. It can be halved for a smaller crowd, or you can prepare the entire batch.
