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.

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!
Lisa, I bought that one last night. After learning instant pot is more than a drug. Lol. My in laws sent $100 for our special day. I'm hoping my husband can learn to cook with this.

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

Re: Instant pot!
I want one so bad! Though we got a new stove recently and I'm enjoying it, so I don't mind waiting for now.
I'm curious though... how does Instant Pot compare with other pressure cookers? Why is everyone so crazy about this one in particular? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Re: Instant pot!
You can sautee in it, slow cook, make yogurt, and it has all these settings for perfect pressure cooking using fuzzy logic/AI technology. So, if you want to sautee onions, you do that right in the Instant Pot. Add your other ingredients and switch it to another setting.

Re: Instant pot!
Mine is coming today (even though I didn't order it until late Tuesday night)! I'm so excited to try it out. I've been looking at one for a while - and finally decided to use some gift money towards one.

Re: Instant pot!
I ordered mine yesterday afternoon, PST, and it's coming today! I couldn't figure out what to try first but dh is hungry for shrimp Alfredo so that's what we're trying tonight.

Re: Instant pot!
Wow, it sautees beautifully! I doubled the Alfredo recipe, it's on the pressure setting right now.
