'Grats! Just bought one recently as well.Am considering buying one, what's your "go to" IP meal?
Edit: bought one, I like crock pot beef roasts, this will speed things up.
I'm an IP newbie. I use a Crock Pot to cook Kalua Pork (it's a 2-day process since I use a wet rub the night before it's cooked). The only liquid I add to the Crock Pot is liquid smoke (1 tablespoon). I used to add 1/8 cup water (early on), but I don't bother doing this anymore.
Congratulations and welcome to the club!Edit: bought one, I like crock pot beef roasts, this will speed things up.
Yes. Pressure cookers work by using liquid to pressurize the pot (they include a steaming rack if you don't want your food to sit in the liquid). There's quite a bit of liquid leftover in the Nom Nom Kalua pig recipe (and the meat is incredibly moist!). On a tangent, I don't much care for cabbage, but it's absolutely fantastic in this recipe.I'm an IP newbie.

My question has to do with the recipe you posted ^, she (and I'm assuming you as well) adds 1 cup of water to the IP. In the photo after the paragraph, "Once the cooker is depressurized..." is there that much liquid in the IP (it looks like it doubled or maybe even tripled)?
That was my first take, but on closer inspection I figured it was about some kitchen implement.Shit, thought this was about Marijuana![]()
fwiw, a pot roast in the IP only takes about 90 minutes (with pressurization & a short natural depressurization followed by a quick release). The flavor is usually enhanced too, because the steam doesn't escape, it stays in the pot! Surprisingly, food comes out just as tender (if not more tender) than slow cookers too.I actually bought to of these on amazon recently, one as a gift to someone else. It's really quick and the default settings and finely tuned imo. My favourite recipe is suprisingly a basic pot roast seared beef throw that in there with some bbq sauce and a acid like lime juice or vinegar. Then chop up some fresh chilis and other veggies you like. Slow cook it for 4-6 hours or 9-10 hours. Pull it out and shred that beef and mix it back in there, let it slow cook additional 2 hours. And it's the bombest food you've ever ate.
That's what I made last night, it was awesome.The kalua pig is really freaking good, but I think my favorite so far is Pressure Cooker Mongolian Beef.
So tasty served with some simple white rice.
Definitely get an Instant Pot. Best safety, best programs, best customer service. A little more money up-front, but I have dozens of friends with them & they are great little machines.Frig, i missed the sale on the Instant Pot. Always wanted to try one. Should i buy the instant pot now or is this a comparable product?

I sent you a PM Kaido. Let me know if you ordered some Instant Pots on Prime Day and want to sell oneDefinitely get an Instant Pot. Best safety, best programs, best customer service. A little more money up-front, but I have dozens of friends with them & they are great little machines.
With that said, a non-IP brand will still work fine. One of my friends owns three electronic pressure cookers, all from different brands (two 6-qt & one 8-qt). A lot of the recipes online are for the buttons on the IP, so you'll just have to convert to whatever machine you get.
Weird. I was PM'ing Kaido how I ordered the red salt for the pig (I previously used Kosher, but like anything in the kitchen... he talked me into buying it). Unfortunately it won't be here until Monday, so I'm thinking I may give the beef a go this weekend. Sounds like it's a solid choice. I made some broccoli last night using the manual setting (NOT Steaming) and it came out basically perfect. Consistency was right, color was right, and taste was good. So ... I've got the broccoli already, just need the beefThe kalua pig is really freaking good, but I think my favorite so far is Pressure Cooker Mongolian Beef.

I was going to, but I ended up pulling the trigger on the HTC Vive that I've been saving up since January, instead of going nuts on Prime Day. Regretting it a little bit because it would have saved a couple hundred on kitchen tools, but my VR exercise bike is just sitting there waiting for the headset, soooooo :awe:I sent you a PM Kaido.
