What is your favourite insta pot recipe. I just got one for xmas. Just

[applegrove]

give me a description. I'll look it up on google.

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Broccoli cheese soup (Panera knockoff)

YUM! Kinda fatty but you can alter the fat in it.

[applegrove]

2. Thanks. I can see I'm going to have to invest in an immersion blender.

Saw a recipe for that last night.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. It sure helps!

[applegrove]

6. Yes. My dad loves soup. Thanks.

[dawg day]

3. Barbecue pork

Something I learned... make sure you put in enough liquid. I thought it looked like "too much," and so only put in half== I always second-guess recipes!- and everything turned out very dry.

[applegrove]

7. Thanks.

[utopian]

5. I use mine all the time

Just made a Pot Roast yesterday. Cooked it straight out of the Freezer.

Made beans for chili. Put them in dry and cooked for 45 minutes. Perfection.

I tend to google recipes for cook times and then make my own creations.

[applegrove]

8. Yum.

9. Roast beef in wine sauce

Here's a link to the basic recipe:
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/instant-pot-pot-roast-5195673

Use the Saute feature to brown the roast on all sides, then add veggies, wine and broth.
It comes out nice and tender. If you like firmer veggies, I pressure cook the roast for 40 minutes, then add veggies and pressure cook for another 20 minutes.
Bon Appetite!

[applegrove]

12. Thanks for the link.

10. Red beans and rice with a nice spicy sausage

Or any beans cooked with a meaty ham bone. There is such a bone in my freezer right now. Come January - yum, yum, yum - some mighty fine eating for very little money.

I like to use dried beans - the Insta Pot does an incredible job with beans. No soaking necessary. Beans are cooked to a creamy perfection.

[applegrove]

11. I will have to investigate beans more closely.

[zeusdogmom]

29. Look beyond the dried beans available in most grocery stores

They have the basics, but mail order sources have a huge variety. I use North Bay Trading Company. True, beans are beans, but interesting beans add something to an otherwise rather plain dish.

[applegrove]

30. Good plan.

13. Russian Chicken

Boneless skinless chicken (your choice, breast, legs, thighs, wings)

One bottle of Wishbone Russian Dressing
One jar of apricot preserves
One package of Lipton Onion Soup mix
Two cups of water

put rack in bottom of instant pot to keep chick off the bottom of pot
whisk all ingredients together and pour over chicken

set instant pot on poultry and set on normal for eight minutes

use natural release of pressure

Serve with rice (I fix mine in a rice cooker) and steamed broccoli with butter sauce

choose your favorite bread and wine

Family loves this

Enjoy!

[applegrove]

15. What kind of rack do you have? Did it come with one? Sounds really good.

[Dave in VA]

18. Yes

it came with the instant pot. It's a stainless steel trivet about an inch tall that fits the bottom of the pot.

27. Do not we have a "Russian Chicken-Hawk" in the

White House? 😅😂

14. Split Pea Soup

From dry split peas.
Here’s the recipe I used: https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-split-pea-soup/

I also make 1/2 gallon of yogurt every week.

An amazing number of recipes & tips on the internet.

My favorite non-recipe is a chicken & rice dish with Indian seasonings that I make a lot.
Rice goes in on top of the chicken and it all cooks perfectly!
I LOVE my instapot!

[applegrove]

16. I will try it for sure.

[lkinwi]

19. I just got one too.

I’ve used it twice once for a chuck roast and once for pork chops. Both came out tender. My next recipe to try will be Kalua Pig.

[applegrove]

20. Thanks. I'm planning on doing pork chops as one of the first things.

[sagesnow]

21. Three Sisters Soup for the Vegans out there

To begin, make Butternut Squash Soup in the Instant pot. I use any squash, carrots and/or sweet potatoes that I have on hand. I don't peel the squash because I scrub the veggies and after they pressure cook 20 minutes the peel is very tender and adds fiber and flavor to the soup. Besides, peeling is a pain.
Put 1 large butternut squash, 2 carrots, and 1 yam, and 2 cups of vegetable broth in the Instant Pot.
Pressure cook it for 20 minutes.
Allow pressure to release naturally.
Put squash, and broth in blender and blend till smooth. Return to Instant Pot

Then Add:
1 can of cut corn, (drain if you don't need to thin the soup )
1 can rinsed black beans (or bean of your choice)
1 can diced tomatoes (drain if you don't need to thin soup)
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp sage
salt & pepper to taste

Return to Instant Pot and use the saute feature to bring soup back to boil.
Turn setting to low to keep it warm till serving.

Serve with roasted pumpkin seeds on top

[applegrove]

22. I'm not a squash person but even to me that sounds good.

[Cairycat]

23. We like this mac & cheese recipe

https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/pressure-cooker-macaroni-and-cheese/
though I don't use the crumb topping. We've also liked philly cheese steak meat and mojo pork. Even more than meals, I like the Instant Pot for meal components - beans, stock, hard vegetables like beets or sweet potatoes. Hard boiled eggs too.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

24. Chicken Tikka Masala

[Sherman A1]

25. Following

Got one of these contraptions a few years ago and I've only done hard boiled eggs in them. Really want to give it a try for something beyond that.

[applegrove]

35. I watched how to Insta pot ultra videos online. There were quite a few.

I am now an expert!!!

[Glamrock]

26. Easy.

Stick it in the bowl (or bong), light, and inhale.

Sorry applegrove, couldn't resist.

[True Dough]

28. It's an amazing device, isn't it?

It's the reinvention (clever marketing) of the pressure cooker. So much better than a slow cooker!

My wife and I just got one a couple of weeks ago after hearing several friends rave about them. We've been plucking recipes off the internet and experimenting. So far lentil chili, chicken tacos and beef stew have all turned out great. The meat literally breaks apart at the touch of a fork, it's that tender!

[applegrove]

31. I was always afraid of my mom's stove top pressure cooker. I never

would have ever thought of buying one. Was re-invented by someone from my neck of the woods.

[True Dough]

32. My wife had that same fear instilled in her as a teenager

She was at her grandmother's place and grandma had turned on the her pressure cooker to make a meal. My wife heard what she thought was a gunshot. She didn't witness the lid blow off the pressure cooker but she arrived seconds later to witness it embedded in the ceiling. Fortunately grandma was okay.

The amount of steam that comes out of the Instant Pot for a couple of minutes after the meal is done is an indicator of that extremely high pressure. Hopefully there's never a defect!

[applegrove]

33. Yikes.

[trof]

34. Try cajun boiled peanuts.

Ready is less than half the time.

[spinbaby]

36. Steel-cut oats

I make a big batch and microwave it for breakfast all week long.

[applegrove]

37. I make a batch of 3 servings of steel cut oats in the microwave only.

17 minutes and they're done. Then I put them in separate bowls in the fridge and reheat them in the microwave when it is time to eat them. I'm only cooking for one. So that works for me.

[spinbaby]

38. Pressure cooking gives the best texture

Even better than in the slow cooker, which is my second favorite way to cook oats.
