Ooh fun! I bought 2 extra crock pots black friday when they were $8. Yes, $8. Helloooooo crock pot meal prep!

Fantastic find! Thanks! I have a crock pot, but I use it to make dog food. I swear anything I cook in there stinks of turkey fat, do I hate using it.

I just got one from Amazon too! It came today and I immediately made my family some rice pudding. So far so good.

Love my instant pot! I make everything and anything in it and you can literally throw away your slow cooker.

Some of my favorites:

Mexican chicken Taco meat

Beef Stew

Beef barley Soup

Stuffed peppers

Meatballs

Corned beef

Brisket

Pulled pork

Loaded baked potato Soup

Shrimp corn chowder

My family was here for thanksgiving and on Friday they wanted some of my famous loaded baked potato soup so i had to oblige but this time i used my instant pot.

It took me longer to chop all the veggies and brown off the bacon than it did to make the soup in the instant pot. And because i browned the bacon in there, that smoky flavor went through the whole soup it was delicious.

Most meals take less than 15 minutes once the pot comes up to full pressure which takes about 10. You just have to remember to add some liquid which helps with the steam.

I will never make stuffed pepper in the oven again. I use 85% ground beef, a sautéed onion which i do on sauté in the pot ahead of time, a handful of minute rice (i have used brown rice), an egg, salt and pepper and about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. I mix all that up in a bowl and stuff my peppers. I set them on the bottom of the instant pot, pour over a can of Tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. I set it manually for 15 minutes and then do an instant release. The peppers are cooked perfectly and that green pepper flavor makes its way through the meat. It is absolutely simple and delicious.

When i make chicken taco meat, i sauté an onion with the sauté setting, then i rub 2 or 3 chicken breasts with taco seasoning. I make my own from cumin, chili power, garlic & onion salt and a small amount of salt and pepper. I chop a poblano pepper into a small dice and one clove of garlic. Throw it all in the pot with a small can of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chicken stock. I set it on manual for 15 minutes, do an instant release. Then i shred the chicken and put it back in the pot. Honestly, i could eat that chicken with a fork right out of the pot. Sometime i make it into enchiladas or a chicken taco salad. But truthfully you could eat it just the way it is.

I also leverage the heck out of pinterest for instant pot ideas. You can make rice and bake potatoes for your family in minutes but my favorite dishes are usually meats. I want to try a recipe for Barbacoa mexican beef. For what ever reason i like spicy foods right now.

I hope you have a blast with it! I love mine......incidentally you may want to buy a couple of back up seals. Keep one for making Desserts and the other for savory foods. No matter what you do to clean them, they always smell like whatever you last cooked.

I think i use my pot 2 to 3 times or more per week and i dont cook everyday.

It's a new-fangled pressure cooker. We have an old one with the steam gauge on top that we use for canning, but the newer ones are infinitely more user friendly.
