Anyone have an Instant Pot?

[Fire Me Boy!]

I started seeing these 7-in-1 multicookers getting really positive press from some food bloggers I trust. So with a $100 gift card to Wally World, I bought one. If it works as advertised, I'll probably get rid of at least my smaller slow cooker and smaller pressure cooker.

So anyone have one? Any tips? Any favorite recipes for it?

Designed by fucking Canadians?

[Donger]

Katipan probably does.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Basically an electric pressure cooker, with some other functionality to it, including a slow cooker function. Very highly rated on Amazon, and some bloggers that I read (Nom Nom Paleo, for one) speak very highly of it, to even their own surprise.

Dude, she's just a blogger. Sheesh. And a good one. James Beard award winning blogger. And it was an unsponsored post.

If you don't buy into Paleo (I don't), that's fine. But that doesn't make her any less trustworthy as a recipe tester, blogger, and equipment user.

Not sure your point. Basically the same thing. Also highly rated on Amazon.

They were out of Flavorwaves.

[Baby Lee]

They were out of Flavorwaves.

Only reason I don't have one of these is because I have a top of the line rice cooker, a pressure cooker and a slow cooker already.

But if given a Sophie's choice between having 1) a flavorwave and one of these, and b) an oven/stovetop, I'd choose the former.

Add in an induction cooktop and it would be a no brainer.

Yeah... I gave the wrong link. That pressure cooker is the one I'm going to get. It has a pairing with this recipe book:

I have two pressure cookers and two slow cookers. I figured if it works, it would replace the smaller of each. No rice cooker.

Hawaiian specialty. Pulled pork, basically.

[JoeyChuckles]

One of them says you can bbq/grill. How does that work?

[JoeyChuckles]

I see that you can cook meat in these things. Forgive me, I've never heard of this device. Does the meat taste like it was baked, broiled, slow cooked, or something else?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Totally depends. Typically, the result will likely be braised if you're using the pressure cooker part.

The benefit to pressure cooking is by increasing pressure, you increase the boiling temperature. So instead of cooking at 212, you're cooking at 240-250, which despite it only being a 30ish degree increase in temperature will drastically reduce cooking time. So what might take 3 hours in the oven will take less than an hour under pressure.

It's super effective on roasts (pot roast), slow-cooked sauces (bolognese), soups, stews, chilies, etc.

[Baby Lee]

Mostly slow cooked, like a pot roast or corned beef. But you can 'smoke' in the sense of pulled pork with the right spices. Or you can 'steam' like a seafood steampot. You can also do meatballs or 'wet' style chicken wings.

Whatever you do, it's gonna be braised/wet, because the pressure cook uses liquid/steam to cook, so you're not getting burnt ends or slow smoked brisket.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Historically, my pressure cookers have mostly gotten used to make sh'loads of stock.

Very true. Gots to have liquid or it won't come to pressure.

Thanks all for the helpful info. I may need to check into one of these. I am a novice at cooking.

[srvy]

My Sister got my 90 year old Mom one of these off QVC or HSN but it has been a disaster. Note my Sis thinks nothing is worth spit unless it comes from QVS or HSN. Anyway the intructions were about 6 pages and she couldn't get a roast done in it and had to transfer to oven. I took the name of it and thought I could find a better manual online directly but no such luck. We called the help line and got a person we for the life of us could not understand. We did get a book that was recomended and Mom gave another whirl and burnt a roast. This woman is still at her age a wonderful cook. She went back to oven and roasting pan and offered this thing to me. I declined as the though of ruining 12 dollar roasts wasnt appealing to me. I honestly think its a lemon I might take her up on it if she hasn't pitched it by now. If I could make it work for pork butt and pulled pork then it would be worth it.

How do you burn something in a pressure cooker?

Ever hear of 'such a bad cook she could burn water?'

;)

Either this is a lemon and there's a pressure leak [which would be evident with steam pouring out the lid], or someone didn't put enough liquid in the pot.

Some shitty cookers will scorch pretty easily. My 6 qt. will, depending on the ingredients. Something more starch heavy will scorch pretty much every time.

My Sister was with her making sure she went buy the book exactly as it instructed meat was raw at end cycle in center. The time it burned I think they monkeyed with it and try 2 cycles but wasn't there so who knows. I do know that woman can cook and still likes to. My Sis just wanted something more convenient. She cooks for herslf and sometimes my brother who stay there often.

My pressure cooker [Revere] has an insert that keeps the food off the bottom of the pot.

I've made corned beef and cabbage, with onions and new potatoes [starch] dozens of times without a hint of scorching or burning. Pretty close to set it and forget it. When the rocker starts shaking, set the timer to 25 minutes and lower heat to medium. So long as it continues rocking rhythmically, you really don't need to pay much attention. Always comes out perfect. Same with pot roast and potatoes. Same with stock. Obviously with different times for each.

The version I got was $120. Frankly, if it hadn't been for a $100 gift card, I doubt I'd have gotten it. But my first attempt with it was quite good. I might change up the recipe a hair, but that's not the IP's fault.

[Baby Lee]

It's more $$ than a crock. But if you don't have a steamer, pressure cooker and rice cooker already, it's a great way to get a multitasker.

I have an like all, but still considered getting this and selling/boxing up the others.

The deciding factor against was, if it goes tits up, that's a lot of cooking avenues that go all at once.

[Brock]

I think I'll give it a shot.

Does a very respectable job at sautéing, too, so it really becomes a one-pot dish, which is pretty nice. I'll try it on rice pretty soon.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I really like this thing.

How do you like it FMB? You said you liked it but what are you doing with it? I'd forgotten about this thread.

I like it. I use it almost exclusively as a low maintenance pressure cooker. I've done a little steaming in it, but haven't done any slow cooking in it.

[Sorce]

Trying ribs for the first time in the instant pot tonight will be interesting to see how they come out.

[Shaid]

I have one. Good for making pot roast very quickly. We make a few things, one is a quick pasta dish, 1 pack of noodles(usually spirals), 1 pound of ground beef(we fry up a bunch and then freeze 1 pound packs for quick use), 2 cans of sauce, and a cup of water. Pressure for 5 min. Nice for when you are busy and just need to toss something together really quick because you can still work while it's cooking. Is it as good as if we made them all individually? Nope, but for a quick throw together that you don't need to watch and the kids will eat, it works well.

this x10


this is exactly how we use it


one other thing that i really love about it, is making broth from bones


I feel one hour to 90 minutes with a carcass is a great time top extract the flavor from bones with out the broth getting too much marrow / gel

[Sorce]

I haven't pressure cooked pasta in it but I've used it for chicken noodle soup or beef stroganoff where I do the meat in the pressure cooker then turn on saute to cook the noodles.

[Mr. Wizard]

I can take any chunk of frozen meat an add 1/2 can of coke and cook it in 60 minutes. Amazing if you are busy and have a family to cook for.
I prefer to glaze it or spice it with olive oil plus spices or add oklahoma joes sauce or terryaki sauce etc... plus my secret, I add hidden valley ranch dry mix to all meat, (people go crazy trying to find out what it is) and then put it in the oven on broil for 5-10 minutes to blacken it to my preference for the meat type first.
Then 60 min in the instapot and people think I cooked all day.

PS I dare you to cook hamburgers then sprinkle hidden valley ranch dry mix to them before serving. People go nuts. :)

[Clyde Frog]

I'm not a sweets person but my GF made a Cheesecake in it and it was incredible. Almost custard like in texture. I tried 2 of the more popular recipes: The "Crack Chicken" was disgusting but the "Indian Butter Chicken" was really good. I'd recommend getting a separate sealing ring for things like curries so they don't leave the smell version of gift that keeps on giving into your other recipes.

[Buck]

I use mine almost daily. Have hardly used the stove or oven since I got it.

Ribs came out good. Liquid smoke couldn't get as much smoke flavor as I would like. Finished them with a glaze of red chili honey, butter and apple cider vinegar under the broiler. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180613/f89266075a0a9df238684ef28723c7cf.jpg

We have one, use it once or twice a week. Really helpful, and it has a lot of functions besides pressure cook, it's a slow cooker, rice cooker, etc. Definitely worth the money.

Can you share links to the cheesecake and butter chicken recipes? I’ve been wanting to try an instant pot cheesecake. Might as well use a recipe that I know is good (if done correctly at least).

[kjwood75nro]

I have the 6-quart.

Great for baked potatoes, ribs, roasts, and other large quantities of meat.

I recommend buying an after-market non-pressure lid for slow-cooking and sauteeing purposes.

Also, I bought a cookbook specific to the pot. The included one leaves a lot to be desired.

I blamed the pot - but then I remembered - that girl can’t boil water...let alone cook a roast. LMAO

Bought one for the wife for Christmas.

We love ours. Come home. Drop a pot roast in it. Bag of carrots and baby potatoes. Fill with seasoning and water.

Grab glass of wine. Chill for about 45 min then supper is served.

Got an instant pot for xmas last year and I've used it 3 times. Each time the food was outstanding. Made ribs, and 2 different kind of roasts making a sunday roast last weekend with mashed potatoes and carrots.

[Mr. Wizard]

Yep,have had one for over a year.Love that I can throw whatever frozen meat in there on top of the trivet, pour a can of coke over it, sprinkle on whatever spices I want, close the lid and walk away. Add 15 minutes for pressure-up and 15 minutes for slow pressure down for meats.

I almost always put meat under the broiler with a little olive oil or glaze and caramelize it after or on my pellet grill to caramelize it.

Always VERY juicy. Super fast way to cook great food.

Damn sure a learning curve though.

[ExtremeChief]

Just got one. Haven't tried any recipes yet. I put a whole chicken and 3 big chicken breasts in it to make enchiladas with. Set the timer for 8 minutes. Insane. Chicken was done and juicy.

[cabletech94]

how did i miss this thread? got an IP last year. there are a million sites with a billion recipes. you honestly can do no wrong.
i used mine at least twice a week until it hit the hottest part of july. then started up with a cooler end of august. the best thing i made was traditional chicken and noodles. sooooo good. i even did spaghetti and meatballs. from start of opening noodles to food on plate, 15 minutes. facebook/pinterrorist have hundreds of sites. you should be able to find something for you.
best advice i can offer, just try one. follow the directions. super easy and fun.

[DaFace]

It's kind of a hybrid pressure cooker/crock pot. So yeah, it cooks super fast.

[srvy]

Honestly I get more good out of a crockpot. With The pressure up and then down time and some things cooking faster than others you need two of these things. I honestly dont know how you all put a roast and potato with other veggies together and not come out with mush. Its really not as much of a time saver to me IMO.

[ExtremeChief]

8 minutes?

Yeah. If you set timer for 8 minutes that's how long it will cook under pressure. Takes awhile to heat up. Once done I used the instant pressure release. Probably 15 minutes total time I reckon.

[Donger]

[Just Passin' By]

I had a weird Christmas as far as receiving gifts. I got a few things I didn't ask for, and was actually thinking about getting for others. This was one, and now I have a question about it.

Is the 6 quart large enough, or should I try exchanging it for an 8 quart? I can't trust some of the numbers the company gives for that, because corporate portion numbers are usually skewed to be very small in cases like this.

Depends on how many you're feeding, your storage space, and how cumbersome the exchange process is.

The 6-quart is enough for me and 1-2 leftovers. If you're feeding more, and the exchange process is easy, might as well spring for the larger size.

Early reminder, . . . if you want a transcendent corned beef, Costco carries the Vienna Beef corned beef point. Should be in their freezers in the next month or so.

Any tips for doing corned beef in the IP? Do you do carrots and potatoes at the same time?

Not according to the recipe I looked up after seeing this pic earlier.
Corned beef brisket and spices, onion, garlic first ~ 85 minutes.
Foil the beef. Strain the broth, add back in along with potatoes and carrots.

There are plenty of recipes out there.

I pressure cook, so the time is different. But no, you cook the beef in it's pickling spices for a good while longer than the veggies. The potatoes go in a little before the carrots and cabbage.

Usually about 90 minutes at high pressure for the beef [with 4 cups water], about 10 minutes for the potatoes, and an additional 4-5 minutes for the carrots and cabbage.

If you're using a stovetop pressure cooker like I do, you need a sink of cool water to place the cooker and relieve pressure in order to add ingredients in stages.

Other than that, it's just throw it in the pot and let it cook. So long as the pressure doesn't get too high, it's all just bubbling and steaming to goodness with little maintenance to be had.

When you plate it, toss a couple lumps of butter on the veggies and sprinkle parsley, salt and pepper. Easy peasy.

not an expert by any means, but i found a recipe online, had something come up. threw everything into the ip. steamed for an hour, let do a natural pressure release for an hour.

everything came out perfect! it was the best ever!! i'll try to find the link and send it to you. it was that good!

Not me, but you might ask Katipan I hear she has all kinds...

Beef stew is an easy fix. Buy everything frozen & just throw it all in & turn it on.

Amazing

Thanks for the intel, I may have to give it a try in the instant pot. I’m amazed the cooking time is that long under pressure. Certainly the longest cooking time recipe I’ve seen so far. Brisket is a pretty stout cut of meat so it makes sense. I didn’t really like the way my corned beef came out last year in the slow cooker. I hadn’t made it before so would love to try a new method this year in hopes of a better result. The one you made in the picture looks good!

Interesting and kind of reaffirms my belief that it’s hard to screw things up too badly in the IP. It seems to be pretty forgiving. The only thing I’ve really done that didn’t work well was brown rice using the rice program. It wasn’t long enough so the rice was crunchy.

Thanks in advance if you find the link to the recipe you used!

[cooper barrett]

For brown rice I forgo time rush and put it in the oven.

Overall pressure cookers are your friends!!!!!!!!!

First time to try it out, did chicken and broccoli over Jasmine rice. It came out pretty good. Just put in some chili, see how that does. I normally simmer my chili for a couple of hours, this takes 20 minutes.

I usually have a pretty large brisket. If you're around 2lbs, you will probably be all right with anything over 55-60 min for the meat only part.

Extending the time a bit is all cooking times are measured from when you get steam production, not when you put it on the stove [or turn it on in the case of IP]

Oh okay, I get it. Yes, the warm up time can add quite a bit of time vs the time spent cooking under pressure.

It might be obvious, but you can put the water on the stove before you start preparing anything, if time is a crunch.

Let things heat up while you're preparing the beef and spices, and are cutting up the veggies.

Okay, I gotta say I really like this thing. Your food will pretty much taste the same as what you would normally cook, just does it in way less time. Clean up was also a breeze, I will be using this often.
