Instant Pot owners, what's your favorite recipie?

[Kaido]

The question is... if you follow a recipe in the IP recipe book and something calls for 1 Cup, what do you?!?!! Because IP 1C =/= Entire country 1C. Now that you've thrown it away, you're doomed. The recipe is forever trashed.

Yeah, one of the reasons I say do a recipe a few times before committing it to your cookbook :awe:

Have you made ricotta yet?

Whoa ...

From same site: http://www.hippressurecooking.com/pressure-cooker-hot-sauce/

Would have never even thought of that. Added to the future 'to-do' list .... which seems to be never ending ATM. D:

Yeah, my list is pages long. I think I'll eventually end up with an 8-quart IP & two 6-quart IP's. Speaking of the DUO80:

Did you guys buy the 6QT or the 8QT for these recipes?

I have 2x6Q (non-bluetooth cause I'm not a HUGE nerd like Kaido)

6-quart. The 8-quart just came out. More useful if you want to cook in bulk because it's two extra quarts.

Whatever, I can't hear you over the sound of my IP recipes being beamed over the Bluetooth connection wirelessly :awe:

Alright, I want food nerd cred, I just purposely baked baking soda to make it more alkaline & make ramen noodles at home.

Just bought the 8 qt. Cooked about 9lbs of rump roast the first day I had it.

Wasn't much left over either.

Dang! I'm guessing it came out good then

OK, so tried my normal maple navy beans last week to cut the time in ~half. Worked rpetty well, but I added more water than seems to be necessary for pressure cooking (normal volume for my prep, which is cook open in stove for about 3 hours)...so reducing what I added by ~half or even 2/3 is probably the way to go.

Now, I need some advice. I want to cook to tender a whole chicken + reserve liquid for broth. i'd like to do this in the instant pot. I'm finding standard methods for cooking whole chicken, with small amount of liquid reserved, or chicken broth with the roughly 1/2 gallon of liquid I need using chicken carcass/bones.

I need a whole chicken w/ carrot/celery/onion in 1/2 gallon liquid (I will probably toss in some reserved back bones from earlier chickens). Will this work/is it safe for the 6 quart pot? I feel that a 30 minute cook time would be sufficient for shredded chicken submerged in liquid...but I feel that the total volume will be sketchy for a 6qt pot. Has anyone done this?

FWIW, I am making brunswick stew and I need the cooked and shredded chicken for the stew as well as the reserved tasty broth that will be generated from this first step.

...I suppose there is probably a one-step method to do all of this, but i'd rather start the stew (1hour+ cooktime after the chicken/broth) with prepared tasty broth instead of water.

I'd like to make the pot do this, especially b/c it's like 100deg here today and I want to reduce internal house heat as much as possible.

This thing is very convenient. I foresee using it frequently in the future

 

[zinfamous]

well, you guys let me down so I went ahead and shoved all that stuff in the pot and it is hovering just over the 2/3rds "safe limit" for highly liquid contents.

I'll let you all know if it explodes (or maybe I won't)

Lmfao. I told my GF that if she goes past the 2/3 line it's going to explode and take her head off. Needless to say she doesn't use it now without me checking it first.
