How to Use an Instant Pot

[elleng]

'Whether you’re hungry for perfect chickpeas from dried beans, succulent roasts in a fraction of the time, or a comforting soup ready when you walk in the door, a multicooker, which can act as electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer and even yogurt-maker, can help. The Instant Pot is the best known of the multicookers now on the market, though other manufacturers, like Breville and Fagor, make models. We’ll show you how to master them, with valuable techniques for getting the most out of the machine.'>>>

1. Invented in my home town. Sadly I have no room to store or use it so I'll have to skip

this fad. But here is hoping it generates more slow cooker recipes. I do have a slow cooker.

3. I'm ditching my slow cooker, rice cooker, and pressure cooker, and replacing them with one o' these.

5. I sold my expensive slow cooker to make room for the instant pot

I have the one that lets you make yogurt---what a blessing. I make at least a gallon every week--sometimes two.

I've made my "kitchen sink" vegetable beef soup in only twenty minutes of pressure cooking after first sauteing the beef in the pot. Normally takes about 10-12 hours on slow cook cycle and in the instant pot, the vegetables were not overcooked and the meat was much more tender.

There is a reason these things fly off the shelves and sell out at Christmas on Amazon.com every year.

Highly recommended. One of five appliances I'd keep if I were to move to a "tiny house".

2. Love it!

I have had so much fun with it. Did a cooking demo for my sister-in-law on Christmas Day. Guess what her present was?

4. LOVE my instant pot.

In fact, gave away my two slow cookers once I realized I would never use them again after learning to use the instant pot...you can sauté in it, delay cooking...pressure cook, steam...keep stuff warm...I don't think there's anything it doesn't do. Game changer to be sure. Best thing to come into my kitchen since the Vitamix.

6. Good to know the device is unlikely to explode

A fact mentioned about 8 times in the article. The multi-pot sounds interesting
