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

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?

Made Orange Chicken tonight and served over brown rice. Turned out very good.

Next time we will cut the sugar and brown sugar by half, add more garlic, and some red pepper flakes. Also need to have a bok choy side.

Love my instant pot.

I ordered an IP from Amazon a couple days ago. The one I wanted was priced the same or higher at other places. It’s time to replace my crock pot so I got one. Will use it for eggs, soups, ribs, chicken dishes, burgers, collards. So much.

Thanks to everyone who posted—you made this an easy decision for me.

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!

Totes forgot; added about a cup of cooked macaroni to the cooked soup. I was afraid it would get starchy if I did it with the soup.

Made kielbasa, cabbage, and red potatoes. Used this recipe: https://www.theferventmama.com/pressure-cooker-boiled-cabbage-and-sausage/

Recipe doesn't include red potatoes. Cut up five smallish red potatoes and added them at the same time as the cabbage and seasoning.

Used veggie broth because that is what we had and didn't add the 2 cups water. Would have been way too much liquid.

Also only added about an 1/8 tsp of cayenne and doubled the onion powder and garlic powder.

Added two minutes to the cooking time because of the potatoes but i am not certain that was necessary.

Yummmmmyyyy!!!!
