Instant pot!
So....I've got one of those new-fangled Instant Pots coming in the mail. My crock pot died today and everyone seems to have one. What are you cooking in yours?

Re: Instant pot!
I love my Instant Pot! (I live in Colorado, but I'm totally talking about the appliance here, lol.)
Tonight's dinner was one of our favorites - white chicken chili. I use dry beans and it is totally done after an hour, even at our ridiculous altitude. I use it for pretty much everything.... grains, beans, meats.... There's an Instant Pot FB group that is really helpful. Some of the people are a bit obsessed (and make a LOT of cheesecake in there), but there are lots of yummy recipes posted.

Re: Instant pot!
I do think they should have reconsidered the brand naming.

I do a lot of soaking/cooking/freezing dry beans.....I'm hoping this will enable me to skip a step. ---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ---------- They are on sale on Amazon right now. . Half the original price (at least on the Canadian version ).

Re: Instant pot!
I just got one too, though I'm finding it a little overwhelming.
So far I have made hard boiled eggs and brown rice lol. I'm planning to do a whole chicken next.

Steel cut oats cook really quickly in the Instant Pot, too. The trick is that you need to make sure to use non-dairy milk in them, because dairy milk will scorch and taste burnt.

Re: Instant pot!

Re: Instant pot!
My mom sent me some money for baby things. I was going to set aside it to order Thai carry-out post-partum but I think G and dh will enjoy cooking in this thing.
I hate soaking beans, also. ---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ---------- I just ordered. It's coming on Friday! I'm so excited! This will enable us to postpone replacing the cook top for much longer. |

Re: Instant pot!
Yeah for Amazon, mine is coming tomorrow instead of Friday! That might actually motivate me to make a grocery run in the morning to try a new recipe.
I'm thinking some kind of risotto ... |

Re: Instant pot!
Oh dear. I'm storing one of these for someone but I never use it, though I have permission to.... Now I think I should buy one because it's on sale! Or maybe I can just be inspired by you all and use this one
