Thinking of buying the 6 qt model for $86 on Amazon. Anybody a fan ?
Same here. She probably uses it 3-4 times a week now but we eat a lot of rice, lentils, soups, etc.My wife is a huge fan. She uses it a lot.
This was my problem when I first got one. I only used the slow cooker feature, but then got comfortable with some of the others.Bought my wife one of these for Christmas and she hasn’t touched it. I think she’s a little intimidated.
This cookbook is essential for anyone with an Instant Pot.Uruk-Hai said:This was my problem when I first got one. I only used the slow cooker feature, but then got comfortable with some of the others.
There are a bunch of web sites that explain how to use it out there and that are better than the manual (which confused the hell out of me). Also, Lifehacker has an entire series on things to do with an Insta Pot.
I bought her two Instant Pot cookbooks and sent her a bunch of links. But not the Lifehacker series. Will give that a try. Thanks.Uruk-Hai said:This was my problem when I first got one. I only used the slow cooker feature, but then got comfortable with some of the others.

I think you meant to post in the BBC/vibrator thread. PM Wetdream for a link.Bought my wife one of these for Christmas and she hasn’t touched it. I think she’s a little intimidated.
Anything you can slow cook will be better pressure cooked. HTHSlow cooker function on mine worked for 6 months maybe, but now it's for ####. 10 hour cook on a chuck roast? Still undercooked.
Same. Barely been used.Bought my wife one of these for Christmas and she hasn’t touched it. I think she’s a little intimidated.

Yes, but this doesn't seem like a problem with the Instant Pot.Same. Barely been used.
My wife is a pretty serious cook. Loves to mess around in the kitchen. Bakes, cans things, loves experimenting. She didn't take to it. I'm sure the pot works just fine, as you insinuated, she just doesn't like/use it.Yes, but this doesn't seem like a problem with the Instant Pot.
You're not being sexist at all. Ignorant? Probably. Obtuse? Sure. Childish? Absolutely. But definitely not sexist.Is this a footballgals thread? Don’t mean to be sexist, but geez Louise. Crock pot. Oof.
I love making a nice lentil and mushroom soup or lentil and lamb stew, but man, lentils give me horrid stinky gasSame here. She probably uses it 3-4 times a week now but we eat a lot of rice, lentils, soups, etc.
Weird, can't say I have that problem. We eat a ton of lentils and legumes though so maybe our digestive systems have adjusted?Jules Winnfield said:I love making a nice lentil and mushroom soup or lentil and lamb stew, but man, lentils give me horrid stinky gas
Damn, I'm in. How much for this thing?The Noid said:Mine is a 6qt, and sometimes have to do things in batches. so thinking about upgrading to the 8qt.
ETA: Just saw the newest 8qt model (Ultra) has a temp setting function you can use to sous vide, which clinches it for me.

Have you tried a probiotic?
Well playedWhy?
I love dropping those silent bombs on unsuspecting people and casually walking away
I don't think it really acts as a circulating water bath. It certainly gives you more control but I don't think it offers the precision of an immersion circulator.The Noid said:Mine is a 6qt, and sometimes have to do things in batches. so thinking about upgrading to the 8qt.

The reviews/tests I've seen say it's accurate within 5 degrees and produces good results. But, Instant Pot does also make a cirulator attachment (that you could use on any of the sizes/models, if you want to get exact precision for sous vide.I don't think it really acts as a circulating water bath.

+/- Five degrees is significant when it comes to precision cooking. It's the difference between medium rare and medium steaks or juicy vs dry chicken breast or perfect salmon and albumin covered salmon.The reviews/tests I've seen say it's accurate within 5 degrees and produces good results.

also - brine the salmon for 10 minutes or so prior to cooking will help minimize the albumin (white stuff that comes to the surface of salmon).+/- Five degrees is significant when it comes to precision cooking.

Saw this and made it for dinner last night. Couldn't be easier and It turned out great. Next time I'll add some more spice to it for some extra kick, but that's just personal preference. Thanks for posting!weekly go to....i always use thighs...
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. chicken thighs or chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
16 ounces salsa verde
Salt and black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Place the chicken in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Add the cumin, garlic powder, and salsa verde.
Set cooker to high pressure for 25 minutes or on the Instant Pot press the poultry button.
When the chicken is done cooking, quick release the pressure and shred the chicken in the pot with two forks. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Serve with tortillas, rice, use in burritos, quesadillas, tacos, salads, etc.
I've been trying to do that for several years now.Yeah, this instant pot thing has transformed my wife into Giada de Laurentiis. It’s awesome.
Thai beef curry.got the wife one of these for Mothers Day and she hasn't touched it, so I'm going to just do it myself. ordered the cookbook above and should be delivered tomorrow. thinking of trying the Italian beef or a beef stew
