    Here are some more recipes from allrecipes: http://dish.allrecipes.com/instant-pot-fall-soups/

    Again, I do not have an Insta Pot and have not tried any of them.

    There are a few keto recipes in there and at least one vegan.

    I have had mine for over a year. One of my favorite things to do is a whole chicken with fresh chopped garlic, lemon, and rosemary. We also do applesauce, fajitas, various whole chickens, gyros, etc. Pinterest is a treasure trove. I can't wait to get the new all in one machine they recently came out with. Happy cooking 🤓

    I have a mealthypot. I use it almost daily. It makes great brown rice. My husband cooks ribs, pork loin, beef roast, and veggies in it. We've had a little trouble with dry beans though. The recipes we've found, as well as the machine and quick tips, all severely underestimate cook time. Should we soak the beans first?

    I have an Instant Pot and make these black beans from dried, no soaking. Makes perfect beans. The natural pressure release is important as the beans continue to cook.
    Such a money saver, cooking dried beans. I freeze them and use as needed. No extra sodium or cans to deal with. I’ve never been able to cook soft black beans on the stovetop.

    I've given up cooking anything on an electric stove than needs extensive simmering. 20 minutes for rice is the longest. Everything else I do in a slow cooker. I get perfect black beans overnight, no presoaking required.

    I was planning on pitching gas stoves to my OH when we move but this happened last year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrimack_Valley_gas_explosions and while I'd be willing to take the chance because I recognize how uncommon that was, he is not, as he didn't like the idea of gas to start.

    I would soak the beans overnight and cook with fresh water because it removes some indigestible sugars. if you tend to flatulence from beans, you definitely should presoak.

    I saw your posting earlier today and just had to try the recipe. It worked just great, perfectly cooked, without being overdone or mushy. Thanks. 🎃
