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?

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 just ordered the Instant Pot from Amazon.com

If I like it I will be ordering one for my two kids for Christmas. Thanks for the link to this, # Cowgirljane !

Love my instant pot 2 good sites for recipes pressurecookingtoday.com and hippressurecooking.com

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.

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

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

I was thinking the same thing when I read the title but then thought geez, I would get the munchies then!

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.

What a great resource this group is! I am looking forward to trying 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!

So... the report back???

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.

Nevermind! I read more and found my answer! ohkay - two paychecks from now this thing is gonna be in my kitchen!

anyone want a twice used huge crockpot - I asked for one at Christmas... a SMALL one... and I got a huge make 6 family size one... yeah I don't use it.
