I have had my Instant Pot well over a year now..

it lives on the counter

best thing for cooking since they invented wood

Broke my Instant Pot out this past weekend for it's inaugural test. Saturday I did a pot roast/stew dish. Had about 5 lbs of shoulder roast that I browned, then 2 onions sauteed, added beef broth, then zapped for an hour and 15 minutes. Added 2 lbs of diced potatoes and a pound of carrots and zapped for 15 minutes. Turned out pretty darn good! Sunday did some chili, but didn't use the pressure feature. I am definitely going to like this gizmo!

You guys make it sound like I’m gonna be drooling over an Instant Pot before dreaming about a Hunsaker or Gateway!
The wife’s getting one for Christmas. I now have very high expectations...

I made a quick chicken stew in my IP last night. Two chicken breasts, carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and chicken stock.

Sauté the carrots for a couple of minutes and then add the celery and onions. Sauté another couple of minutes and then add the mushrooms. Sauté for another couple of minutes and add the herbs, salt, pepper and 2 cups of chicken stock. High pressure for 15, let it sit for 5 and then release the pressure. After the pressure is down take out the chicken and veggies and thicken the liquid with cornstarch mixed into some chicken stock. Shred to chunk the chicken and add the chicken and veggies back in. You may need to put the pot on Sauté too get everything back up to temp.

Looking good Ronelle!!

I made this last night but I found it necessary to double the seasoning for my taste. After adjusting the spices, it was very tasty.

Trying some ham and beans tonight. Pretty amazing you can go from dried beans to eating in under 3 hours.

Well I was wanting some beans n rice n sausage.....I Really Like MaHatmas Instant Mix- just add sausage- but I was Out. I was out of dried beans too...... But I did have 1 cup of white rice, 2 cans of Pinto beans and 1 can of Black beans and 1 lb of sausage. So I cut up the suasage , put 1 cup of rice and 3 cans of beans with the juice into the magic pot, put suasage on top and added 1/2 cup of water ( cut back on water because of the bean can juices) and some Cavendars Greek Seasoning and Pressure Zapped it on Low for 20 minutes. Not Half Bad........

Well I'm done with the Instant pot. To many ef'd meals. Just "cooked" chicken and rice. Rice is burnt and the chicken is raw. Turns out the little pin never popped up and it never came to pressure. IP is going on Craig's list.

 

[SmittyJonz]

I just browned 1 lb of ground venison and 1 lb of 80/20 on sautee mode. Then added 1 Lg can Campbells tomato soup (condensed) and 2 cans of water, 2 boxes of kraft mac n cheese and the powder, 1 lg can of diced tomatoes and 1Lg can of mixed VeggiAll and set it on low pressure for 24 minutes..........
Could Suck but could be Pretty Close to Decent... we shall see.......:twitch:
