just got this instantpot. i bought the 8quart not thinking about how insanely huge it is.. not sure if i should exchange it for a smallwr one
Keep it. Bigger is always better when it comes to pots, in my experience. It's a lot easier to cook a 6qt recipe in an 8qt pot, than to do the opposite.
Also, I'm one of those people that splits a can of soup. Who eats a whole can? Too much salt! Me and whoever I'm splitting the soup with usually have a half-sandwich or a small salad with it.
i was thinking its probably okay having the bigger one but maaaan i have NO WHERE to store this thing haha i already have so many kitchen gadgets. i wonder how little of an item i can make in it. like if i cAn make two servings of rice in it or if its too big.0 -

Arctic Zone or Arctic Zero?You folks sure do know your treats! I love this thread.
Any suggestions for salted caramel treats? I have some restrictions...live in the US, Midwest. Mainly shop at Kroger but have Target, Meijer. And I'm cheap/broke. I've tried: (in salted caramel flavor)
Luna protein- yum! Never on sale and sold out when it is.
Chobani flips- just okay, rarely on sale
Fage crossovers-my FAVORITE! Same as Luna bars above
Arctic Zone-pretty bleh and I'm just not a huge ice cream fan
Think thin-somewhat satisfying but pricey.
I looked for the salted caramel Noosa at Target. The nearest store that carries it is 35 miles away. I'll look when I'm out that way.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Don't confuse that disgusting freezer burn for delicious ice cream. Talenti was really good, but pricey.
This came out for Christmas last year, but Krogers released Ms. Thinster sea salt caramel cookies. I bought as many bags as I could after the holidays and went nuts over them.
I can't remember what Arctic it was. I just don't really enjoy ice cream (too cold) that much but now I feel like I should run, not walk and buy Talenti and Haagen Daas.
I will keep my eye on the Thinster display. Just checked it yesterday.
THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone. I appreciate all of your suggestions!
Happy eating!

Yeah my 6quart is a tight fit to even steam one head of cauliflower!1 -
Just depends on how much you would normally cook.

It's nicer if you want to roast larger chickens. My family steams corn cobs a lot. I would offer to do it in the 6 quart, but the cobs just wouldnt fit

It's not exactly new [well, it's new to this area since an Aldi opened up last Wednesday] but the Friendly Farms greek yogurts caught my eye, mainly because they have 1/3 the sodium that the Kroger-brand greek yogurt has.2

its funny because the actual container that you put food in isnt huge same as one of my crock pots but size of the entite thing is huge! i just wana be able to make both large and small quantities of things. probably cant make a 1/2 cup of rice in it lol!Strawblackcat wrote: »

That's odd, I can easily make 1 cup of rice in there! And I have the small/cheap one.0 -

I wonder if Hostess is slow to roll things out this year. I've checked many major stores and smaller chains in my area looking for the caramel apple cupcakes and pumpkin spice twinkies, only to come away empty handed. I can trip over all of the Little Debbie displays, but Hostess? Only cobwebs..sigh..0 -
Tried that Gingerbread GNC Total Lean shake I posted a photo of previously.
Oh my goodness, it was fantastic. I love pumpkin, I do, but I'm going to see if they'll let me exchange a few bottles out of the 20 I recently bought for the gingerbread instead, I think it's actually a little better! If anyone here likes gingerbread this is an absolute MUST try! I know GNC prices are terrible, but it's so good.5 -
I say that, and then I walk into Target, and lo and behold...
I'm a happy girl right now.

Read the owner's manual for the required minimum amount. I believe it is mostly about the amount of liquid - I think my 6qt one requires 1 cup, if I remember correctly. It just needs enough to build the pressure.0 -

New Halo Top flavors on the horizon?
Please keep us updated, this I would be VERY interested in! 360 seemed high at first compared to what I'm used to with them, but then I remember Englightened ice cream pints and that's not bad!2 -

I went to Giant in search of the cookie dough dip, but struck out.
When I go the next time I want to buy the Nabisco Cinnamon Donut cookies & JC Bites in a ginger flavor.0 -
Someone asked about the Larabar Snickerdoodle bars...couldn't find the quote, but I picked some up this evening and tried a couple bites of one. If you don't mind the usual date flavor that Larabars have, they aren't bad. Not going to replace the real cookies for me, but I'd eat these. May go pick up a second box even.0

I really like them too! I like the snickerdoodle better than the gingerbread and pumpkin. Larabars for me are awesome but only when I am "in the mood" for them if that makes sense haha. The snickerdoodle tastes exactly like the cashew but with cinnamon flavor which I love.0 -

Yeah, I agree. I actually picked up a box of the Thinkthin pumpkin spice bars, the Kind maple caramel pumpkin spice bars, and the Larabar snickerdoodles, and I have to say the Larabars are my favorite. They're right up there with their Mint Chocolate Brownie bites for me, which are also quite delicious.0 -

Oh, and for those of you who are having issues posting pics through your phone, I have the Android OS, and I've found the only way to do it is to get out of the MFP app and log in to MFP through a browser on your phone, like Chrome or Firefox. There you will have the option to post pics on the forums. Hopefully that helps for some of you!2

Had high hopes for this because the pistachio one is AMAZING, but it wasn't as fantastic as the pistachio. It was pretty good though! I really enjoyed it. Very nice chocolate hazelnut flavor. 8/10 I guess I was imagining it would taste like nutella but it wasn't that sweet lol1 -
