Y'all! I just bought myself an Instant Pot!



Recommended Posts

On the pressure cooking today.com site try the Thai chicken thighs -amazing! I would say it is more a sate recipe than Thai cos of the Peanut Butter base. Doesn't matter what it is called though cos it tastes good. Yes I have an instant pot too.

Okay, this is a very dangerous site!! I just ordered an Instant Pot and an Air Fryer!! Both of which I had never heard of before or else they are called something different in Canada!! Can't wait to try them both and can't wait to try to find space for them!! lol

I wanted the air fryer, too!!! Let me know.

I really want one of these!! My hubby has the deep fear of pressure cookers but...he just went on my Amazon account and ordered us an AIR FRYER!!! I have been told that they cook meat really tender so I can't wait as since my RNY I have a hard time with meat. He said he watched an old pressure cooker being broke, so NO GO for them. I tell ya it was a sad day when he found out my password and how to get to AMAZON!!! He thinks it is so funny when I go into my Gmail and I see a confirmation of an order that I didn't even know about. Gotta love him!! I don't dare mention anything or else he buys it. Except there is a ring that I am dying for and he just acts like he doesn't hear me!! LOL

I love my instant pot too!

I made this recipe yesterday, had leftovers today and they were even better! I did not eat it over rice but the family did. I did not use 1/3 cup of olive oil. I used 1 or 2 TBS to sauté the peppers, onions, and garlic. I used skinless chicken breasts and legs and made my own sour orange with 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup key lime juice and 1/4 cup lemon juice.

Hee! My Amazoned Instant Pot arrived yesterday. I did the Water test and boiled eggs this morning. I like that you can do pot in pot cooking since it's just me. I have a hard time with meat and am looking forward to tender meats for my tender tummy.

Darn it, you guys! I saw this on Amazon and had convinced myself I didn't need it. Then I read through this thread, and now I'll be the proud new owner of an Instant Pot on Friday. Can't wait to try it out!

Mine arrives tomorrow, and I fessed up to my hubby about buying it last night. He LOL'd at me, but is happy to try it, especially if he gets to pass along other kitchen appliances. :)

Instant pot has several safety features built right into it so the old pressure cooking fears really should be put aside. It is easy to use, easy to clean up and saves so much time i can hardly believe it. I was afraid at first because of the scary old pressure cookers.....this is NOT the same thing.

I mentioned before that I was terrified of the darn things --we had one and my mom put the fear of God into me if I ever touched it while it was on the stove. That thing would rattle and hiss like a deranged goose. I bought a pressure cooker a few years ago to 'face my fears' and I ended up selling it in a garage sale, unused, last year.

And I need more ideas of things I can cook relatively quickly instead of resorting to carry-out. "Oh geez, the chicken is still frozen , looks like it's House Fried Rice Night!" Looking forward to getting one of these.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
