To unlock the cooker, take hold of the handle and turn the lid counterclockwise. Lift it away carefullythe contents will be very hot. Set the lid aside on a flat heat-resistant surface. The handle of the lid is made from a thick plastic material, which means it's safe to grab without a potholder. If you accidentally added a little too much water, your pasta may look a little soupy around the edges. Transfer the contents of the Instant Pot to a large serving bowl and tilt it gently over the sink to allow the liquid to run out. Another option is to scoop the cooked pasta out of the Instant Pot with a slotted spoon. That way, the unwanted liquid will stay behind in the pot. A little extra moisture shouldn't affect the flavor or texture of the dish. Play around with slightly different measurements until you get them just right. Don't forget to write down your preferred proportions so your favorite dishes will turn out more consistent in the future. Mix the layered ingredients together until they're evenly distributed. Stir from the bottom to loosen ingredients that might have become stuck, and use the edge of your spoon to break up any remaining clumps of pasta. If the pasta itself looks undercooked or overly thick, give it 1-2 minutes of extra cook time. A good stir will also help incorporate trace amounts of liquid sitting at the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle on some freshly-grated parmesan cheese and slice a loaf of crusty garlic bread to round out the meal. For a lighter touch, try pairing your pasta creations with a mixed green salad or vegetable medley. You'll be able to put together any number of satisfying side dishes with the time you save! Store any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for 3 to 5 days.

One-sentence summary -- Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Drain any excess liquid. Stir the pasta thoroughly. Enjoy your pasta while it's hot.

Q: With your blind still mounted in the window, lower the slats as far as they can go. Use a measuring tape to measure the height from the bottom rail to the top of the head rail. Then, double this measurement so that the blind has enough string on both sides to raise and lower it all the way. Next, measure the width of the window and add that to your measurement so that you have enough excess string stored in the head rail to lower your blinds. While it can be difficult to do, see if you can measure the width of the string itself. If you get a string that is too big for your blind, the string won't fit through the openings. Jot down your measurement on a piece of paper. This will make things easier when you go to pick up a replacement string. If you want your lift cords to hang down a little, add 2040 inches (51102cm) to your measurement so that there is some extra slack in the lift cord when the blind is lowered all the way. You can always cut the excess string off and it isn't particularly expensive to get a longer string. Go online or head to your local home repair store and look for a cord repair kit with enough string for your blinds. Don't worry if the string is longer than the number you measured since you can always cut it, but you cannot restring your blinds with a cord shorter than the number you measured. Blind cord kits come with a restring tool, which is a small length of soft metal with an oval-shaped opening on the end. This wire restring tool will make it easy to thread the string through some of the smaller openings. Take your replacement string and cut it so that one cord is the same or slightly more than the height of your blind from the bottom of the sill to the top of the head rail. Cut the other string so that it is at least the height of the blind plus the width of the window. Add 1020 inches (2551cm) to each length if you want the lift cords to hang down at all. Most cord kits come with tassels and washers so that you can replace the plastic parts on the string. They don't typically include a replacement wand or new brackets, though. If your wand and brackets work, feel free to keep them. Otherwise, you can buy replacements from the manufacturer or your local home supply store. The longer string will go into the slot at the bottom of the rail that is furthest from the lift cord. Unless you have custom blinds, the longer string will go on the left since the lift cords are on the top right. On the lift cords that you pull, use a pair of scissors to cut off the tassels and the knots holding them in place. Set the tassels aside if you plan on reusing them. If you plan on replacing them, throw them out so that you don't mix them up with the new tassels. The tassels are the little plastic pull knobs at the end of each lift cord. The lift cord refers to the 1-2 strings coming out of the top-right of your blind that you pull to raise or lower the slats. Some blinds have plastic washers embedded in the lift cords so that the string doesn't roll all the way into the head rail. If you have washers on the cords that you pull to raise or lower the blind, either thread the string all the way through the opening in the washer to undo it, or simply clip the washer off with a pair of scissors. Set your washers aside if you're going to reuse them or throw them out. Leave any washers that are attached to the ladder strings. You aren't going to replace those. Your blind should still be in the window frame at this point. If you're lucky, you won't need to take the blind out of the brackets to restring it.
A: Determine how much string you need by measuring the blind. Write your measurement down and add 2040in (51102cm). Buy a blind cord kit based on the size and model of your blind. Cut the replacement string into 2 separate lengths. Cut the tassels off of the end of each lift cord. Remove the safety washers from each lift cord.
