Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
Both DD and DH loved the yogurt. I used 1/2 can full fat coconut milk plus 2 cups coconut milk beverage (the refrigerated cartons). I don't like the unsweetened beverage in much, but I use it for savory cooking. So I'm always looking for uses for it.
So cost: $1.25 for half can coc. milk + $.75 for beverage + $.05 for gelatin + $.11 for glucomannan + $.10 of sugar for the Tablespoon of sugar I put into each jar = $2.26 for 24 oz of yogurt (about) I blended fruit into DD, so it's an even better deal. A 24 oz container of unsweetened yogurt is at least $6.49. I based the amount of sugar on how many grams of sugar are in the little containers. I will experiment with honey, etc. I will also experiment with more canned coconut milk, which will raise the price but also the taste. I'm just low on it right now. ---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ---------- Oh, and I added a little lemon flavoring to DH's yogurt, this brand: https://www.vitacost.com/simply-organic-lemon-flavor I didn't measure it, because there were only a few drops left. But it was enough

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
I ended up simply sprinkling my homemade ranch seasoning on it. Everyone loved it, including my non-chicken lover!

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
Yep as long as you have enough liquid in there to bring the pot to pressure you can pretty much do anything. Chicken breast adapts such a wide variety of flavours!

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
I set the IP to rice but could not get the time to adjust. What am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ---------- Found this on their website: "The “Rice” button is timed for white or parboiled rice only. ~For other types of rice, set “Manual” to correct time (by pressing “-” to adjust the cooking time) for the type of rice you are cooking, in the case of brown rice, for example select 22-25 minutes depending on your preferences and any local issues, like high elevation." http://instantpot.com/how-to-cook-pe...essure-cooker/ So it does not appear that you *can* adjust the time with the rice setting but need to either go with their time (for white) or use the manual setting.

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
It seems from my experience thus far that the time you set for rice is about half the cook time on the package if you are also giving the time for natural release of pressure. It makes really good rice. It also takes less water. My light brown Costco rice is 11-12 minutes 2 cups rice 2.5 cups water. I also put salt and a tiny bit of butter in there. So good!

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
I think I usually do 35 minutes for about 3 pounds then I check with the thermometer and add more time if needed.

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
I have trouble cooking chicken breasts from frozen. Any tips? I usually freeze 2 small breasts in a bag together. I basically have to open the IP several times to adjust them in order to cook thoroughly.

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
I freeze my chicken the same way. I put them in the IP with a cup of water or broth. Set it for 20 minutes and let it go. Usually shreddable when it's done. I have noticed a difference in texture between my Zaycon chicken and Foster Farms (I think) from Costco. Zaycon is tougher.

Re: Instant Pot for Newbies
Does the time start after it reaches prusher? I can cook frozen breast in my stove top prusher cooker 15 min at prusher and then 10 min natural release.
