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.

Ok then, I just ran the instant pot steam test, cleaned the pot and I have Baby back ribs in the pot. 30 minutes from now they should be fall off the bone tender.

I am going to have play with this thing all week!

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
