What do you actually do with an instant pot?
I've got one but don't use it for much

It's the fastest rice cooker. Perfect rice in six minutes on high pressure.
1 cup rice: 1 cup water.
You gotta fast release the pressure and fluff up the rice with a spoon or it will get sticky

>You gotta fast release the pressure
is that what I'm doing wrong. I know it's fast but it just kept turning my rice to mush.

buy cheap cuts of meat and make them super tender in a gravy sauce with other veg, serve over anything, eat with some side, or just as a stew

i never used nor will i ever use a pressure cooker as i wont ever use a gas powered bbq id rather eat stale overcooked meat than die

making tough cuts of meat tender (for tacos, stuffed peppers, etc.)
soups
stews
stock
rice, wild rice, spelt, other grains
steaming vegetables (with a steamer basket)
mashed potatoes
yogurt

I buy tons of dried beans and get them fully cooked super quick. Also for stock when i've got bones left over

Do motor vehicle accidents next: you won't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for examples like you just did. Life is not without risk. Saving time with the instant pot adds more to my effective lifespan that the tiny expected loss from an unlikely pressure cooker accident.

>making tough cuts of meat tender (for tacos, stuffed peppers, etc.)
Might try which cuts? wondered for a while if you could braise corned beef

>>21493220
wewooooo wewooooooooooo FALLACY ALERT FALLACY ALERT FALSE EQUIVALENCE the correct comparison of cooking with the death device would be having a perfectly good and safe car to drive to work with and electing to use a helicopter because its quicker

>>21493221
Chuck roast, for one. I've never cooked corned beef in the instant pot.

>>21493240
You're an idiot. Helicopters are safer than than the safest cars per mile traveled, but all categories of transportation accidents are far more numerous than electric pressure cooker accidents. There's nothing fallacious about comparing different risk categories by their intensity to determine whether it's something you should concern yourself with or not.

>rack of ribs, cut into 2 halves
>bottle of bbq
>fill bottle with water, put in water
>20 minutes on high
>put onto tray, cover with sauce
>broil for 5 minutes on top rack
wa la
Works for wings, and just a slab of meat for pulled pork.
Use buffalo sauce for the wings instead of bbq
if you read this and dont try it ill assume youre a troll or underage. This is what a pressure cooker excels at.

>>21493250
WRONG helicopters are the most dangerous means of transport peddled for years as safe because planes were safe they have the highest accident rate per flights ALWAYS COMPARE accidents per flights not miles travelled, not to mention the accident to fatality ratio

>>21493258
>ALWAYS COMPARE accidents per flights not miles travelled
>always use an irrelevant metric
Immure yourself, pearl-clutching pantshitter. I will supply no more (you)'s.

>>21493262
ok kobe, colin mcrae, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, vic morrow, Davey Allison, jfk junior, aaliyah keep lying your helis and chesna's because they are the safest means of transport

>>21492991 (OP)
cook starches.

>>21492991 (OP)
Most week days I cook a protein in one and veggies in the other. Set it up half an hour before lunch so it's ready at noon. This works for me since my job is remote and I can easily turn them on between meetings pre-lunch.

Stuffed cabbage rolls

>>21493294
WRONG you need one of these for giouvarlakia lahanodolma

>>21493195
Not even going to bother to read that but all these accidents are due to some gross negligence and stupidity

>>21493346
95% faulty pots/pressure valves keep cooking with your death bucket and you ll be part of that 0.001 statistic you call negligible

>>21493361
Must be terrible to go through life terrified of everything.

>>21493363
no im specifically terified of anything that has enough force to kill me after a slight mistake or negligence pic rel its you back in 1946

>>21493368
>pressure cookers are literally the demon core
You are mentally ill

beans and rice almost exclusively

>>21493294
Take your commie cabbage rolls and stuff them where the sun dont shine

Love my Instant Pot Pro. Bought two when they came out years ago along with all the doo dads for them.

Purchased to make my scratch, fancy dehydrated backpacking meals re-hydratable in the field. Over time I discovered myriad uses well beyond making dehydrated chicken re-hydratable.

Got some leftover meat, veg, fruit and what-not end of cycle? Toss into Instant Pot, season and pressure cook. Good eating, less waste. Easy.

>>21492991 (OP)
I use mine to slow cook because it's big so I don't need to have a giant crock pot

>>21492991 (OP)
The general problem with these devices is that you need to know the correct settings in advance, since you can't open it to check cooking progress, and that can be quite variable. But it's still top notch for stews (which can be quote forgiving), beans, and boiled eggs.

>>21492991 (OP)
I have the duo version with the air fryer lid. I pressure cook chicken carcasses into stocks, make beans, make soups/stews, dehydrate beef into jerky, air fry leftovers, etc.
With the pressurization and depressurization time a lot of things aren't really worth doing. Anything that takes ~30 minutes on a stove is not that much faster in an instant pot but for anything longer it's worth it.

Some day I gotta try making yogurt.
