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.

Son has ordered InstaPot for J so I'm shopping for accessories. That adobo looks great. I've never made the red, just the white and that was a long time ago.

Dee loves her egg rack.

I made breast of chicken (bone in) with dried herbs and lemon.

It was overdone (operator error) but very tasty. I’d rather have food overdone than underdone, so I was able to work with this.

The sauté feature is great. I used it to quickly brown the chicken then used it again at the end to reduce the spiced broth. Very good and everything worked well.

Here is a link to a 500 Keto Instant Pot Recipe Book I got at Amazon for less than a dollar (Kindle app version). I don’t recommend it for anything other than getting ideas and inspiration. I looked at their recipe for spare ribs and didn’t like their method of having the ribs sit in the water while cooking. There aren’t any photos and the electronic book isn’t layed out well. But there are lots of ideas, food combinations, and some recipes that will work for me.

So, I’m keeping the recipe book and the IP.
