Instant Pot! Good recipes and ideas?



Recommended Posts

I love my Instant Pot. The meat is a lot juicier than the crock pot. I think it'll be perfect once I can start eating more solids. It's definitely not "instant", but it's hands off, which I appreciate.

LOL, ok, thank you for clarifying. I was so confused and didn't get the joke.

I have been going to CO a great deal lately, ahem, to work on my potential glaucoma issues ;-). It's all just research at this point.

I prefer the crock pot over pressure cookers so far, but I am open to change for a compelling reason.

My fave lamb shank recipe.

4 lamb shanks

1 red onion & 1 white onion

Garlic

1 litre chicken stock

Dried oregano

Dried thyme

Bay leaves

3 large tomatos

1 eggplant

3 potatoes

Add a little oil in the pressure cooker, sear lamb shanks.

Add onions, garlic, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, 1 litre stock, salt/pepper.

Pressure cook for 10 mins, release pressure and open lid.

Then add the eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes and return to pressure for 30 mins.

This is super fragrant and totally yum!

I love serving juicy meat but it is a very hands-on process and not instant.

Can't help it......grillers do it slower............

Alright people! I had to do it. I just ordered my instant pot after seeing the recipe for lamb shanks and watching a few videos.

Looking forward to experimenting with it.

I use my pressure cookers (stovetop and electric) quite often, for many different things, but my favorite thing to use it for is hard-boiled eggs! I can make large batches and even when using fresh eggs they are simple to peel when cooked in the pressure cooker. Every machine is different I'm sure with regard to times, but I do 18 at a time and in 6-8 minutes (once at set pressure - low) they are perfectly done! Times don't seem to change regardless of how many I cook at a time either, making it easy to test with a few to get your timings down, then add more to suit your needs.

Great Snacks and source of protein!

I could not believe how wonderful this pot made BBQ ribs for me yesterday. Literally 30 minutes and they were fall off the bone tender, finished them on the grill with homemade peach BBQ Sauce that was incredible.

Tomorrow I will make chicken cacciatore in it. I won't be making Pasta with it, just a salad and green Beans.

My vote is the pot is going to replace several kitchen appliances for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
