Instant Pot! Good recipes and ideas?



Recommended Posts

Amazon prime day had a big discount so I took the plunge. I haven't been in a cooking mood so haven't even taken it out of the box, but want to experiment. For those of you that have one - any advice on where to find good recipes etc? Any favorites?

I've made this twice: http://barerootgirl.com/nourish/2015/9/18/maple-smoked-brisket-instant-pot-or-slow-cooker-recipe

The first time I sliced it. The second time I cooked it for an additional 5 minutes and shredded the meat. I added some BBQ Sauce for my husband and kids, but I had mine plain.

These refried Beans were also very tasty: http://www.allergyfreealaska.com/2016/01/03/instant-pot-refried-beans/

Nomnompaleo.com has some yummy instant pot recipes. I also found these two resources: http://workingathomeschool.com/2016/03/21/2929

Never heard of "instant" pot, but Google implies that it's a pressure cooker? They scare me. Just dropping in to say "Howdy." A new topic yesterday brought you to mind and I realized you've been scarce.

Yes, it is a pressure cooker. There are a lot of safety features in this one. It doesn't scare me like the old stovetop ones.

@@daniotra, the last I knew was 30 years ago, so it's good to know of the safety developments. Since I never used one and only once in my life had a dinner cooked in one, my interest is nil. I'm just glad, having heard of unspeakable damage done by them way back, that I no longer have to worry about those who use them. Sincere thanks for bringing me up to date.

I am in WA state, not pot shortages here....but I was talking about the new fangled pressure cooker. I used to cook with one ages ago....I think results are tastier than crock pot.

Why are they illegal in some states? I've never heard of them described as instant pots - just pressure cookers.

It was a joke (pot = marijuana).

The instant pot mentioned is a name brand of countertop electric pressure cooker.

      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.
