Welcome new group members! Tell us your story of weightloss using an Instant Pot.
Hello all, glad you are finding this group. I only got my pot for Christmas and it's become the most valuable appliance in my kitchen. I did not start this to lose weight, but it's been a side effect of a sort. I'm obsessing so much over cooking in the instant pot, looking up recipes, reading forums, that I'm not snacking…

Vegetarian Recipes?
Hey guys! Happy to have found this place. =D I love my instant pot, but it's hard to find vegetarian recipes for it (although I use it to cook perfect rice and to cook my dry beans, and it's very good at doing both of those things). Do you guys have any? =]

Chicken Noodle Soup (Amazing!)
Here is the recipe for chicken noodle soup I used last week. This soup is so good I will never be buying progresso soup again. I used a pound of chicken tenders instead of 2 breasts and left them whole and shredded them at the end. I also added 2 extra cups of chicken stock because the noodles really soak up the stock. I…

What was your biggest Instant Pot fail?
It happens to the best of us. My first fail was my first dish. Mac and Cheese. Burned on the bottom. It was my first time using it and I didn't realize that you couldn't set the pot to pressure cook with the cheese in it. Live and learn.

Whisked 1 heaping tsp of the Oui yogurt with the whole bottle of Fairlife 2% until mixed well and I poured it into two 8 oz. jars evenly and screwed on the lids.…
