InstaPot Anyone??

Wait for sales nearer to Christmas if price is an issue, because the 8qt is really worth having.

I bought mine at Walmart for $99 on sale...the extra few dollars is worth the ability to cook up to a 12lb turkey!

Made baked potatoes in my IP last night. Came out perfect with almost no effort.

Making yogurt today. Seems very easy, especially after watching the video on this page. http://www.friedalovesbread.com/2017/06/easy-cold-start-yogurt-no-boil-method.html?m=1&fbclid=IwAR0VNKpKzAU2CqCQ8R-jttXvZs9kOf1Uyjzuzp_Xn6lLpLOR9ylH4wbU1Oc

I belong to a FB group called Instant Pot 101 for Beginners and have learned a lot especially since most questions are asked over and over. LOL

The group has posted a recipe for Crack Chicken a few times. Has anyone here made it? https://www.adventuresofanurse.com/2016/10/04/instant-pot-crack-chicken/?fbclid=IwAR2LYYHEvR1V2Lv43eiX0sk_JfVwWZbp2qRLdB_m Gws-v1P-we7JKx4y9WY

I made the best vegan cream of mushroom soup this morning and it took less than 20 minutes in the Instapot.

(I did not put jalapeno in it, used two cups of shiitake and two cups of button mushrooms, and substituted the cream with coconut cream)

Out of charcoal and since i deep cleaned the stove today, it was decided i would make hamburgers in the IP.

My honey was skeptical about steamed burgers but wasn't up to cooking anything anyway so didn't have a choice.

Seasoned only with pepper. individually wrapped each burger in foil and pressure cooked on high for 10 minutes. Added a slice of Colby cheese as soon as they were done.

Juicy and tasty. Will have again. Going to add pre-cooked bits of bacon in the ground beef next time.

Anyone else tried burgers? What did you put in yours?

Last night I made soup in the instant pot....

I winged it from a recipe I saw on youtube.

I cut up 3 stalks of celery, twice as much carrots, a red pepper (which I wish I had skipped; it fell apart in the process) and a zucchini (ditto for that)

I added a large can of diced tomatoes with the juice and an entire carton of chicken broth. Added six turkey sausage links (hot) and let it cook for 20 minutes on steam. Should have done 30 for the meat.

Added a can of white beans and a can of kidney beans as well as some fresh spinach and fresh chopped parsley.

Topped with yummy fresh parmesan and voila!

I did the water test and nothing else.

I’ve been watching videos on my model much of the day and am so glad I did. I’ve never had a pressure cooker and had no idea what was a silicone ring, a pressure valve, slow release .... and the videos on youtube have been so helpful.

My first dish will probably be ribs over the holidays, but I may fix something before then.

Have found some good Keto Instant Pot recipes here and am looking forward to trying out some.

Yes! I found youtube to be my savior while figuring it out.

I did find that I liked my ribs more in the slow cooker mode. I like them to melt off the bone. They were cooked with the pressure cook mode but i cooked them longer in slow cook to get them super tender.

Maybe try some hard boiled eggs first? what’s the worst that can happen.? And its so easy.

I use the 5-5-5 method!

I’m feeling more confident about this and am going to start cooking in it today. I think I’m going to make the Keto Chicken Adobo tonight with a chicken breast. One youtube reviewer said some people had problems with the sauté feature on the model I purchased and I want to test that today.

Will probably cook up some eggs, too. And maybe some apple butter if I can come up with a good recipe without a lot of sugar.

I also want to test the sterilizer setting (I read somewhere that all IPs can sterilize with or without the “setting”). I make my own body butters and it will be nice to sterilize and reuse the containers, if possible.

Excited about the slow cook feature for my cannabutter and for cooking meats. The temperature is contolable and my last crock pot just had basic heat settings.

Thanks for the tips on the ribs and slow cooking, dee. Glad you started this thread and others joined!

I think this is a good purchase for me.
