I was so thinking that stuffed peppers would be nice this way. I’d be the only one eating them unless my sister had some. We grew up with stuffed peppers mmmmm

As for myself, I just put 3 huge chicken breasts in (frozen) for 30 minutes on steam. I seasoned them first in a southwest fashion as I’m making a southwest chicken stew for dinner. Once it cools I’ll throw the pot in the fridge with a lid (wish they had one of their own) and come home from work and finish it off.

One thing I have noticed: if you don’t season your stock or water before hand the flavor doesnt zing. And it’s hard to add it later.

As a happy addendum, my dogs are very much enjoying the instapot. I use the juice from whatever i cook to make their dinner rice. And I specifically don’t use onions just so I can do that

Nope. 8 min on high my love, then the rest.

Decided my first use of my pot would be something simple and wouldn't you know it, I screwed it up.

Shucked the corn, re-read the directions, set the corn on the steamer plate, and poured in two cups of water.

Forgot the inner pot.

The electronics are now drying off and the uncooked corn is in the fridge.

Oops...next time will go better.

Oh gosh!!!! I hope you tried again! I can tell you I have almost done this several time.

I cooked the corn today and it came out fabulous. If we didn't already have a full of leftovers fridge, I would be looking for something else to make.

Thinking something with pasta and veggies.

i’m so happy to hear this !

I have made corn on the cob, artichokes, and chicken burrito bowl. All turned out fabulous although I will be tweaking the burrito bowl recipe to our liking next time.

Last night was supposed to be hamburger stroganoff but upon gathering the ingredients, I learned there were only three mushrooms. Not nearly enough.

Will be going to the store for mushrooms today and make the stroganoff tonight.

We don't eat flour pasta here so we will have it over baked red potatoes.

Thinking boneless pork chops next.

Love my new toy.

Ohhhh.... had to order a steam diverter because I can't remember to quick release safely. Should arrive soon. In the meantime, watch here for scald reports. LOL
