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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
