Food Cooking with an instant pot (1 Viewer)

[Tony1Saintfan]

Just curious if anyone on here has one and if so maybe we could share some recipes and tips. We have one and have cooked a few items that are absolute winners and one that the jury is still out on.

I have the Ninja which is kinda like an Instant Pot, but even better. I love it. It pressure cooks and air fries. There's pretty much not anything it can't do. It's a pretty amazing appliance, I highly recommend it.

There was a thread about it maybe 6 months ago
Consensus was that people really enjoyed theirs

it boils peanuts in about an hour... That's all I need.
I got one over the weekend, used it to cook a 4 pound Boston Butt, took like 90 minutes. Even had the crispy outside,,,,,
Now if I only have the time to play around with it...

My 16yo daughter is our resident instapot expert. We have done stews, various chicken recipes, pork butt . . . My wife did red beans once and it was pretty amazing.

i cook white beans in the insta-pot...takes about an hour...they come out really good but you end up having to mash them to make them creamy

Have you made wings in it? We just got one but have not used it much yet.

Yup, we’ve made everything. So worth it.

Wings in the Air Fryer are top notch, especially if you like them crispy.
My mother in law tried them in the Instapot, yea not so much...

Insta Pots are great. I like turnip greens and you can make those in a hurry in an IP. Also, they're great for boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes or potato salad, and making beans -- which you can soak overnight/during the day before putting into the IP. We also use a small IP to quickly cook those little frozen half corn on the cobs. There's all kinds of stuff that you can do with them.

I have the Mealthy Multipot version (https://mealthy.com/products/pressure-cooker). I find it's great for whatever would take a while on the stove - primarily beans (and lentils), stocks and soups, and steamed/boiled vegetables (like corn or artichokes). I tend to do big cuts of meat on the grill, so not much of that, but it definitely has its uses.

Short ribs did well in the IP.
