Pressure Luck Cooking
I just want to share a pressure cooking YouTube channel I have been following. He has a Facebook page, blog, twitter and so on. He is entertaining to watch and so far I have made two recipes and they are both delicious. I made his Chicken Picatta and Chicken Marsala. They were really good. I suggest you check him out when…
What's in your pressure cooker tonight?
I just put Ropa Vieja in tonight. Link below. Anyone else cooking in theirs tonight? https://twosleevers.com/recipes/pressure-cooker-recipes/instant-pot-cuban-ropa-vieja/
What have you made in your pressure cooker?
I've had mine for a while but I haven't been very adventurous. I have a book by Madhur Jaffrey called something like Quick and Easy Indian Cooking, and I've made some curries out of that. Yum! I've also made pot roast. I've hard boiled eggs. I have primarily just made the curries and I'm feeling like I'm missing out on the…
Brown rice
Has anyone found the magic formula for brown rice in the IP (how long? how much water? how long for natural release?) I use Arborio rice for rice pudding and risotto in my IP without issue but haven't been very successful with brown, long grain rice. Thanks!
Yogurt
Has anyone tried making yogurt in their Instant Pot? Please share your experiences, tips, techniques and recipes. I just watched a video about it and I think it is time to give it a try. Would love to hear what you have tried.https://youtu.be/HpBkYSj0Ja4

I was even a bit lazy tonight and did not pre-boil the bones or toast the spices. It was…
which one
instant pot or crockpot express? i have a cpe un-opened on the counter but all the recipes look like my mom cooked them-mushroom soup casseroles. the ip looks like it has better recipes and community.
Instant pot recipe help
Greeting, fellow pressure cookers! I stumbled across this recipe https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/butternut-squash-green-chile-chicken-soup/ and want to give it a try in my IP. Does anyone have recommendations on what setting I should use and how much time? My first thought is to try manual, but maybe stew or the soup…
Getting started
I've had my instant pot for over a month now and have just been staring at it and collecting recipes. I haven't even done the water test yet. How do I overcome my fear and start working with it.? I really wanted this and need whatever help you can give me. thanks
Quark in the Instant Pot?
Weird question, but has anyone tried making quark in the instant pot? I have never heard of this before, but found it used in a recipe. After digging around, it appears that instead of milk (like in yogurt), you use buttermilk instead. Does anyone know what it tastes like, what it is used for, and have you tried making it…
