Re: Instant pot!
I did a recipe for hard boiled eggs. Said 8 minutes. They turned our perfectly. Were they really done at 5 minutes? I put mine in an ice bath as soon as the steam was gone.

Re: Instant pot!
I don't like any softness in hard boiled eggs. They have to be *done*. 5 minutes and I used the quick release, they were good for me.

Re: Instant pot!
I've had one for 3 or 4 years now. I use it all the time. I cook beans and oatmeal in it often. It's great for steaming vegetables, potatoes. And soups are really quick. I use the slow cooker setting often, too.

Re: Instant pot!
I steamed beets in mine today.
I also cooked frozen chicken in a once a month cooking recipe I prepared a few weeks ago. I'm making rice now.

Re: Instant pot!
I made two batches of refried beans and then beans and rice for our dinner tonight.

Re: Instant pot!
When I did 8 minutes, mine were overcooked - green around the yokes and two of the eggs had cracked open. 5 minutes worked much better.

Re: Instant pot!
I made bone broth yesterday. I filled it 2/3 full with chicken bones and cold water. Manual setting, high pressure, 2 hours.
This broth had the most beautiful gel! I'm making chicken and vegetable soup with it right now. Cooked chicken breasts that I found in the freezer, cubed potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions. I'm using the soup setting for 15 minutes. I don't know if that's the right amount of time but we'll see. |

..... The rice was great. 3 minutes. 10 minutes natural steam. 3.5 cups cooking liquid and 2 cups jasmine rice. ...... The frozen chicken took 12 minutes. I'm still in shock. I removed the chicken and put the liquid and rice in.

Re: Instant pot!
I'm going to have to start saving bones for broth. It sounds so good! (I don't think I've made my own broth since my 5 year old was born lol)

Re: Instant pot!
My instant pot now has a chicken carcass in it and my fridge is almost empty and ready to be cleaned.
Looks like you can make brownies in it. Just need five in or 7 in metal pans!

Re: Instant pot!
The soup was great! I think it would've been done in less than 15 minutes, probably 12.
