    I've got the dueling crock-pot/instant pot going on now: the instant pot just finished a lovely mushroom risotto, crock pot is channeling Anupy Singla and cooking a spicy eggplant stew. I try to do more vegetarian meal prepping during lent so I have something to eat on Friday.

    We make this regularly (yesterday, actually): http://allrecipes.com/recipe/25147/sarges-ez-pulled-pork-bbq/. I cook it then weigh out my portion and add bottled BBQ sauce after the fact. The tips on adding liquid smoke are right-on.

    SO easy. Usually I'll make some rice in the rice cooker and set the timer, so everything is done when I get home from work. I'll zap some frozen veggies in the microwave to round it all out.

    Do the same thing in an Instantpot if you got one. Much faster and much better tasting and texture for some reason.

    Don't have one. I've been holding out, but starting to really, really want one. We're a busy family. I think an Instant Pot is a worthwhile appliance (I'm choosy about letting new appliances in).

    Instantpot is many tools all in one and does ALL very very well.
    It will replace your slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, egg boiler etc. etc. Unlike air fryers, this is a worth buying tool.

    Do you have any suggestion on which model to buy, assuming it is best to go w/ the IP brand?

    Any will do. I have the IP 60 duo. Does everything I need it to do.
    You can go fancy and get new ones with blutooth etc... but I dont see the reason for it, yet.
    You can also get the bigger version if you are cooking large meals for big family or want lots of leftovers.

    I am new to the instant pot - just got one. How do you figure out how long to cook stuff? I want to try the pulled pork ! But last nite I just cooked corn on cob ... 3 minutes like it said ... and it ran out of water and almost burned the corn.

    Whatever you were doing with the corn, you were doing it wrong.
    The IP comes with an instructional book that also has some basic recipes. Read that before you use it again. Also watch some youtube videos.

    I thought I did it correct. It said 1 cup of water, add the corn, and cook for 3 minutes. This is what I did, and the water was completely gone, and the corn was starting to stick to the bottom of the pot. Maybe because I only had 2 ears of corn in it? But thank you for the links

    Thank for so much for the easy... first recipe on the link ! I think I realized when I made the corn that I forgot to "seal" the top. The eggs are now cooling, so I am anxious to see how they turned out.

    I use whatever beef is lean and on sale, lol.....

    Used with Ole Xtreme Wellness fajitas, reduced fat sour cream and cheese (along with cilantro, lime juice, and fresh peppers/onions) I can get two 8" fajitas for about 570 calories total. 2 oz of beef, 1 oz cheese, 1 T sour cream per tortilla. I usually just put the plate on the scale, slather on the sour cream, tare, add beef, tare, add cheese. Then fill up with veggies and cilantro....

    Flank steak
    Salt pepper
    Crockpot
    3/4 jar salsa verde over un browned meat
    4-5 hours low until tender

    Save juice from pot. Add back 1/4 jar salsa to brighten flavor.

    I like to carfully remove from crock pot. Wrap in foil with all juices and rest in refrigerator over night. Cold meat will slice great.
