NO! This thing is terrible, but hilarious.Mr CIA ...you're way off here. This is like saying a frying pan is horrible because of a bad recipe.
An InstaPot is just one more method of "slow cooking".
Prove me wrong.

Love you too. My dog is displeased by the number of squierrels on the lawn this spring.Love you bud ...
it's a cooking vessel, not a recipe ...how's your lawn looking this spring?
man ...you're an anti-instapotite ...Love you too. My dog is displeased by the number of squierrels on the lawn this spring.
I agree the InstPot is a cooking vessel, but it lacks justification.
Still, the youtube's are oddly hilarious.
We're gonna have to agree to agree.man ...you're an anti-instapotite ...
I am so disappointed in you
I love good charred octopus. One of our Chefs does a Sous Vide and char and it is fantastic. I have failed at replicating it thus far.Wingnut said:Got a Duo Evo Plus 6 quart for Xmas...this thing even has a sous vide setting, pretty cool.
I'm thinking about breaking it in by doing octopus. The plan would be to marinate, then pressure cook, then char it on the grill.
Gonna be fun playing with this thing.
If you're looking for something relatively quick, easy and tasty, I would recommend it. I would make it again (that's usually the determining factor).Making some Instant Pot Keto Chicken Cacciatore from Bobby Parrish/Flav City tonight. Interested in seeing how it goes.
100% agree. It doesn't make things any easier or better in the kitchen.I agree the InstPot is a cooking vessel, but it lacks justification.
Bad info here100% agree. It doesn't make things any easier or better in the kitchen.
I should add that the recipe doesn’t mention draining the fat after browning the beef. I drain it offStuffed pepper soup tonight

Respectfully disagree with this one. Sweet potatoes benefit immensely from slow cooking over a long period of time at lower heat than traditionally cooked. The sweetness they develop vs. traditional more modern quick cooking methods is staggering.Instant pot is definitely the way to go for sweet potatoes. Stick 4-6 of them in there on the rack with a cup of water, set the timer for 20 minutes, let the pressure release naturally and perfect sweet potatoes.
That recipe is awesome, I make it all the time. I might have mentioned it awhile back, but I prefer using sausage to ground beef - I think it adds a little extra flavor. And I don't drain the fat.Stuffed pepper soup tonight

Incorrect. No soup for you.100% agree. It doesn't make things any easier or better in the kitchen.
The couple of recipes I've done were instant release, but my understanding with natural release is it is so the meat doesn't toughen up. Strange that you would need/want that with sweet potatoes.Instant pot is definitely the way to go for sweet potatoes.

This looks really good. I think I'll try a batch this weekend. Thanks for posting it!Two more instant pot soup recipes that I made recently. Both turned out great!
Lentil Soup
I added a pound of hot sausage to this one since I'm no ####ing vegetarian.
A bit delayed, but ask and ye shall receiveThe InstaPot looks horrible. I barf a WTF every time I watch a youTube video with this contraption. It's the Flowbee of cooking devices, sponsored by Karen.
If one of you kind souls can link me to an interesting IntaPot youtube, I might change my mind.
Going to try this one tonight!Captain Cranks said:I can't recall if I posted this before, but this has become part of my monthly rotation.
Butter Chicken
I'm eating the leftovers as we speak. Just as good 3 days later. No need to be shy with the chicken. The recipe calls for 2 lbs, but I used 2.5 lbs and think you could even go 3 if you wanted.Going to try this one tonight!
The Butter Chicken turned out great. I used 2.5 lbs of chicken and probably could've used more just like you said, so thanks for the suggestion. I've got plenty of leftovers now too.I'm eating the leftovers as we speak. Just as good 3 days later. No need to be shy with the chicken.

I feel the same way. I love the instantpot but usually use it as a meal prep item or making a meal while doing other things during the late afternoon of the weekend. Often times I will have the instantpot going with random thing, a rice cooker with a grain, pans going for another dish, and some veggies baking in the oven all at the same time.I've had an InstaPot for a little over a year. We used it semi-regularly early on and the results were pretty good but I just found it incredibly boring. I enjoy cooking, love standing over the stove, shaking pans around, working through a process. Gets my mind off other stuff, a similar effect for me as exercise has. Loading a bunch of stuff in the pot and turning it on doesn't give me those same feelings. It has its place though.

IMO, what it does is replace a crock pot. You can make things in an instant pot way faster and done much better than you can in a crock pot. I can make black beans from scratch that would take 4 hours on the stove, but maybe 1.5 hours in the Instant Pot and they’ll be almost exactly the same.I too enjoy the process
my SIL(not that one) who is a chef was upset when I told her I couldn’t open the top to add more ingredients/stir
my IP is mainly used to speed up the “slow” cooking process
6-9 in of snow in the forecastUsed this — https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-collard-greens/Anyone ever make greens in their instant pot? Tips?
Im trying tonight
—and will again next time. The texture was great. Heat was just right for us
I omitted the sea salt and it was still a little too salty. I used Tony Chacheres instead of “johnnys” seasoned salt or what ever was in the recipe.
I think next time I will cut the Tonys in half and use smoked turkey legs or tails instead of the ham hocks
Definitely a keeper though
eta: I didn’t use low sodium chicken broth, couldn’t find it this morning
Missed this before. Do you have a link to your recipe?Big fan. Secretly makes a perfect cheesecake.
Do a youtube search for Presure Luck Cooking and search for his chicken and wild rice soup. You'll thank me later.I’m trying to come up with blizzard food for tomorrow. Thinking pot roast on the slow cooker setting. But I could be convinced of some cozy soup or stew if you’ve got one.
This is the one I have made and it turned out excellent!Missed this before. Do you have a link to your recipe?Big fan. Secretly makes a perfect cheesecake.
