I know a few of you have them! Hit me up with some recipes!!

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 confess: I Amazon'ed one last night.

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.

I have made a whole turkey breast in my instant pot in 45 minutes! I love how the meat is fall off the bone tender.

I've decided to get one of these for myself for my birthday since I cancelled the cruise :/ maybe 2018!

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!

My baby arrives today!!!!!

My baby arrives today!!!!!

You really should get a sales commission on the sales of all these instant pots!! lol

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.

This may sound kinda babyish, but I don't care!

My mommy said she'd see about getting me one for my birthday/Christmas present!!!

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.

YES!! My Instant Pot has changed my cooking drastically. I don't really follow recipes but everything I've made has been delicious.

I made a pot roast that was the best I've ever made. Instead of 8 hours in the crockpot it was one in the IP.

Before my plastic surgery I bought a whole chicken, seasoned it with salt/pepper/garlic powder/Italian seasoning. Then I chopped and sautéed some onion/celery/carrot in the IP and threw the chicken on top and filled about halfway up with Water. Hit the 'Poultry' button, adjusted to 1 hour and walked away.

Came back later, took the chicken out and removed the meat from skin and bones (it fell right off). I strained the broth into mason jars for homemade broth and left a bit in the IP. I put it back on sauté and added a bag of frozen mixed veggies and cream of mushroom (normally I make my own but I was pressed for time and making this for hubby) and the shredded chicken. Mixed well and then baked in a casserole dish with raw buttermilk biscuits on top.

This was one of my husband's meals while I was out of the house recovering from plastics.

For homemade cream of mushroom:

Sauté finely diced onion and mushrooms in butter. Add a few sprinkles of flour to form a roux. Add milk or cream until thick consistently.

By the way, I used the homemade cream of mushroom with my pot roast.

Season London broil with salt and pepper. On sauté mode, add a little olive oil and sear each side of the meat. Remove meat, add chopped onion/celery and sauté until translucent. Add roughly chopped carrots and cubed red potatoes. Place seared meat on top along with cream of mushroom and add 2 cups of beef broth. Hit 'Meat/Stew' and walk away.

Optional: When complete, you can remove meat and veggies and use the 'Sauté' feature to reduce your broth to a gravy. You can be patient and keep reducing, add a little cornstarch (I like guar gum), or even add a little red wine if you're feeling frisky.
