- What happens when you put slime in an Instant Pot"?
- Let's talk about that.
(funky electronic music)
(fire crackles)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Did you know that in 33 U.S. states,
you can get instant pot?
- That's not what this episode is about.
Today we're doing experiments with the Instant Pot.
Different thing.
It's the extremely popular all-in-one kitchen device
that does everything.
- [Narrator] With Instant Pot,
there's an affordable solution for everyone.
Whether it's hearty chili, spicy curry, perfect rice,
refreshing dairy or non-dairy yogurt,
you'll never forget the first moment you put Instant Pot
in your kitchen.
- And that family hasn't spoken in 12 years
but the Instant Pot is fantastic.
- But what happens when you use your Instant Pot
for less conventional items?
Today we get the answers, it's time for
Putting Things In Things: Instant Pot Edition.
Today we're gonna be putting things in the Instant Pot
six quart Duo seven-in-one series.
And it's probably important to mention
that the user manual clearly states,
do not use the appliance for anything other than
its intended use. - Right.
- But we didn't read the user manual.
- Right but you at home however should follow
all the Instant Pot rules.
Let's let the games begin.
(quirky music)
- We're gonna start this Instant Pot experiment
this instant with the most revered instant food
in the history of the word instant: instant ramen.
So what happens-- - Toss 'em in there, Link.
- When you pressure cook as much instant ramen
in an Instant Pot as humanly possible.
- Okay now I wanna be able to get a lot in.
Stop for a second and let me clap some.
(pounding ramen)
- [Link] Oh yeah that's good, this is fun, this is nice,
this is why we get up in the morning.
- All right you got some seasoning over there?
- Oh yeah.
- Don't do it all because it matches up with this
so I'd do about half of that seasoning
if you want the right proportions.
- Okay, fun fact, one packet of ramen with the seasoning
has 66% of your daily recommended amount of sodium.
- And you need that sodium for cramps.
- Mm.
- And of course, the way that the Instant Pot works,
I own one of these, I didn't know this,
but you have to have liquid in there because it's the steam
that creates the pressure.
It's called thermodynamics, Link.
- Yeah. - You took that class.
So did I. - Thermodynamic means
hot action in Latin.
- Hot action. - I was like,
that's the first course I signed up for in college.
- It's also one of my favorite movies.
- I was very disappointed.
- I wanted to kinda make a little game out of this.
I'm gonna put a marble in there.
Whoever finds it is the winner.
- [Link] Okay well don't put it right in the top.
Kinda nestle it in there.
- Oh, trust me.
- All right clamp that baby down.
We're gonna put it on the poultry setting
which gives you a nice 15 minute pressure cook.
- Okay so obviously you have to release the pressure
using the valve, we've already done that,
so now it is safe to open and see what happened
to the ramen.
(gasps)
- Now we did some math and with 12 packets,
we have 792% of your daily sodium intake in there.
Is it still crunchy?
- I'm gonna dump it all out here, Link.
Watch yourself.
- Oh.
There's a little bit more but--
- Okay that's good. - This goes to show you
there's a little bit of, there's some crispy bits there
that we might wanna--
- It's like it didn't get the water.
Now what are the eating utensils for this?
- We're gonna eat with these.
Just 'cause they're here and-- - Where's that marble at?
- You gotta find it.
Let's taste it first.
A lot of steam.
Whew.
- Oh.
That's really good. - Yeah, good.
- I mean, it kinda just tastes like ramen.
- Yeah, the question is,
♪ Who's gonna find the noodle ♪
♪ Where's that ♪
Not noodle, oh.
The round, hard noodle.
- You found it? - Got it, whoa!
- (laughs) That's what you win, you win a bur--
- Oh!
- You win a burned hand.
- All right, I won.
(quirky music)
- Say you find yourself left for dead in the middle
of a barren savanna and as you're butchering your dinner,
you get hyena blood all over your favorite white t-shirt
and all you have at your disposal is
your handy dandy Instant Pot and a handful of Tide Pods,
'cause you would bring those with you in the savanna.
- Yeah. - Now sure,
it would make a nice hyena stew,
but will the Instant Pot clean that t-shirt?
- Now, this is actually just red wine and fake blood.
No hyenas were harmed in the making
of this laundry exercise. - Whoa.
- Okay.
All right so you're throwing that in there.
- I'm curious. - And then we'll set it up
for 15 minute cook/clean?
- And we hit the poultry button.
'Cause that's what you do when you wanna cook a t-shirt.
- Our hyenas have headed for the hills
and the Instant Pot is done.
Is the shirt clean?
- [Rhett] Why don't you tong it out of there, Link?
- I see some redness, some pinkiness.
- It smells good.
It smells clean.
The water's blue.
- I mean there's some stainage but it seems remarkably--
- Give me the other pair of tongs
and I can grab the other sleeve.
- Oh man.
It's fresh, now we're gonna pull this out,
we're gonna hold it for a second
and then we're just gonna drape it over my face
just like at the barbershop.
- Wow, okay I mean without even really mixing it--
- Look at that. - It got almost all
of the blood.
There's some blood there in the middle kinda where
it folded onto itself. - Yeah.
- It looks like-- - It's rather remarkable.
I mean I would not have predicted it would have
gotten this clean without any agitation,
'cause there's nothing that moves anything around in there.
- There's no agitation. - There's no agitator.
- In an Instant Pot. - Yep.
- And now you just drink just like the kids,
you drink the Tide Pod water.
(quirky music)
- And now it's time to do something with slime
because the internet.
So what will happen when we put the unique properties
of slime into the unique confines of an Instant Pot?
- This is what slime looks like in a package.
I didn't know.
- Yeah at my house, Lando has turned our kitchen
into a slime manufacturing facility.
So we don't buy it pre-made.
- Now the ingredients in slime are white glue,
water, and borax.
- And the hopes and dreams of middle schoolers.
- Pretty simple.
Borax is also my favorite Dr. Suess character.
- [Link] Yeah, tastes great too.
- You gotta be a child to get your hand in this thing.
- Oh I'm actually starting to get it.
You know, hey look at me!
- Okay and water of course.
I almost forgot.
- I worked with Lando to conduct his science fair project
about-- - Did he win?
- What ingredient, what amount of shaving cream impacts
the fluffiness of slime.
- Did he win 'cause that's all that matters.
- Everybody wins.
And no one wins. - Okay and,
slime button, nope, poultry.
- Now we were told that as this one was releasing the steam,
it was very gnarly and you can see what that was like
at MythicalSociety.com but let's see what it's like now,
right here.
- See look at the top, all that residue.
And then, here, maybe stir around.
Is there slime in there?
See if you can grab some. - That's not slime, man.
- You're closer, you're taller.
- Ope, ope, wope, we got some slime remnants.
- Any more of that? - Yeah.
- There's more where that came from.
Boy, this looks like fun for the kids.
- Hey kids, we'll take all the fun out of your slime.
Just give us a few minutes and an Instant Pot.
(quirky music)
- Ken and Barbie have been around for nearly 60 years.
They made it through Vietnam, the fall of the Berlin Wall,
and that time La La Land accidentally won best picture.
But can they withstand a life or death game
of Barbie Beach Cruiser chicken which catapults both
of them into...
- Let me guess-- - The Instant Pot!
- An Instant Pot!
Hi guys, I'm here in my Beach Cruiser!
Come on, Ken, catch up!
Oh, what did you say?
I'm trying to catch up.
Oh, I'm gonna do a U-turn, did you say turn around?
Oh no, Beach Cruiser chicken!
(plastic whacks)
Look at that. - Woo!
- Immediate impact.
Wee!
- We violated several laws of physics in that demonstration.
Kids, don't pay attention.
Okay we're using the larger eight quart Instant Pot
because Barbie and Ken need their space.
- Give 'em some agua.
- [Rhett] I'm gonna throw in a little water here.
- What are we expecting is gonna happen?
- I don't know, I've got--
- Barbie soup. - High hopes though.
- Mm.
- Of course because it was a game of chicken,
we hit the poultry button.
- [Link] (mimics motor revving) All right it's done.
- Let's see what happened to our little kids in here.
Our cute couple.
- Okay, did it get steamy in there?
- I thought it was gonna be like a Breaking Bad situation
and there was gonna be nothing but teeth and eyeballs.
- Let me pull her up out upright.
Keep it decent. - Keep it family-friendly man.
- She's having some visibility issues
but she looks to be entirely in tact.
I'm gonna put her up here like on the--
- Can I grab Ken?
Let me grab Ken with the other tongs.
- I'm not trying to hit her,
I'm just trying to see if she's hot.
She's very hot.
Okay get your skirt down, girl.
Well she lost a shoe and she can't see
through her hair but I thought there was gonna be
some disfigurement but--
- Well have you looked at her left arm? (chuckles)
because I don't think that's what it looked like
before the Instant Pot.
- [Link] Oh my gosh, look at that.
- Okay.
- Barbie, I don't know what to say except I'm very sorry.
- But look at Ken. - But the shoe stayed
perfectly in tact. - Look at Ken.
First of all, don't make that sign, Ken.
(crew laughs)
We had those suspicions about you but,
no reason to confirm them.
- I mean he looks kind of ashamed I think
because his fingers are in tact.
- Yeah but his head is real loose.
I almost feel like it'll just, yeah see,
it just popped right off.
- Okay, she likes him better that way.
He can't talk.
- So do they make Ken and Barbie out of different materials?
Is that what we're, is that we've discovered here?
That seems scandalous that Ken's made from better plastic?
- Ken's fingers are made from better plastic,
that's what we've discovered.
- That sounds like something that we could bring down
the whole Barbie enterprise with.
- We want a level playing field.
(quirky music)
In all our experiments thus far, we've created pressure
by rapidly heating water within an air-tight space
but what if we replaced the water
with ranch dressing-- - Oh!
- And what if we Instant Potted a full pizza
within that ranch dressing,
and what if we got the Nobel Prize for it?
- (laughs) I think we might, Link.
Okay I've got the dough here.
- Stretchy stretchy.
- I'm gonna stretch this out
like they do in the...
- Pizza parlors.
That's good, that's okay, now just stretch it a little more.
- Oh gosh. - You're making a hole.
- A hole.
- Lets the ranch through. - Exactly.
I'm glad you came up with a reason when I looked at ya.
(chuckling)
- Okay. - You know me, man.
Reason maker.
- [Rhett] Almost as good as a rain maker.
- Okay and then there's some sauce.
- Uh yeah.
- [Link] And then there's some cheese.
- [Rhett] Yeah that's good.
- We can't have too much cheese,
and then some pepperonis, why don't we take half those
and then let's do a little roni toss.
Woo that's greasy.
- Okay, and--
- All right Instant Pot people, y'all watching?
- Because it's a pizza, we hit the poultry button.
- All right it's time for that Nobel pizza.
Pop it.
- Oh baby.
- [Link] All the liquid still seems to be there.
- So bring that tray kinda close.
- Oh goodness. - I'm losing peppis.
- Bring it, bring it! (Rhett sighs)
There we go. - I lose some ronis.
- Can you get some of the ronis?
Oh yeah.
- [Rhett] Maybe I can find some more ronis.
- We got some Tenderonis in there.
- Wow, it looks like-- - It's a term from the 80s.
- It looks like a calzone that gave up.
- Let me slice this pizza.
- It smells great, first of all, just the smell
of roasted ranch. - Yeah.
- It's everything you would think it would be.
- It doesn't look fabulous but it's meant to be eaten,
not to be stared at.
- It kinda looks like a partially digested pizza.
That a shark ate whole. - You're right.
We found an Instant Potted pizza inside of this hammerhead.
Let's give it a go, warm it up.
- I think this could be a fun little exercise.
You know you don't really have to do all of it
unless you eat every single bit of it.
All right, oh.
It's juicy, moist-- - Now it looks
to be very hot, sir. - Piping hot.
- A little hot. - So doughy.
- I like a doughy anything really.
Anything that's undercooked.
- It definitely feels like something that--
- Mm-- - Wasn't quite done.
- Mm! - But we were hungry anyway.
- Mm, I really like it for that reason.
- Okay, I can't say I would recommend that,
but I can say, I think the most valuable thing
that we learned today is that there's an easy way
to take all the fun out of slime
and there is a scandalous conspiracy at the Barbie plant.
