I am making a beef stew. Not exactly following a recipe.

I browned the meat in a pan on the stove, then put it into the pot and put it in the fridge all day. I peeled and cut veggies, put them in a separate bowl in water in the fridge for the day. Drained them, put in IP with meat and onions (which I fried with bacon) added spices and lots of beef liquid (totally blanking out on the word, lol) and half can stewed tomatoes.

Not just waiting for it to NR. Then I might add some frozen veggies.

Smells good.

Sorry if this is old news to everyone, but I’m still new at this. I get excited easily.

We like bread pudding for desert. Usually I make it in the microwave, but I’ve been trying to find a recipe to make it in the IP. But every recipe I see, I know won’t work because you cannot bring to pressure without liquid. But today....I found a recipe.

Pour 11/2 - 2 cups water into bottoms of pan. Place trivet, then pan with bread pudding onto trivet.

SL - that is called "Pot in Pot" - I Haven't done it yet I dont think but I see recipes where people put say chicken on the bottom and then a pot with rice in it on top of the chicken and cook them both at the same time

I’ve seen it for things like potatoes and meat loaf. Just can’t believe none of the bread pudding or apple crisp recipes I saw actually added that instruction.

I have some silicone pans that will work great...as long as they fit in the pot.

So, if my chicken only takes 6-7 minutes, the rice doesn’t have enough time, right?  It seems things either cook shorter or longer than rice cooks.  So, I’ve been hesitant to try it.

Do you eggs ever crack when you hardboil them in the instant pot?  Is there a solution?  I did a dozen on low pressure for 12 minutes.

I just do them for 2 mins and then NPR for 10 or so and they are great

but I see people have cracking issues a lot

if they are cooked to your liking, but cracked (hahaha) then I'm guessing it the shell having micro cracks or just thinner

but really I do not know

I don’t have low pressure on my Pot.  I do manual for 4 minutes, then 5 for NPR, then into ice bath.  I’ve found by shaving off that last minute (in the 555 method) eliminates the cracks for me.  When I’d do 5 minutes, often 1-2 would crack.

Investors had no cracking issues using 555.

But I do find the yolks are a bit discoloured so I tried 455 and it was better.

Will have to try another method next time and see if it makes a difference.

Here's what's in my pot right now:

I cut the salt and threw in some tomatillos that I roasted in the oven.  I'll let y'all know how it comes out.  The house smells amazing.  If they are as good as they smell, I think I'll whip up some chili lime chicken to have with them during the week.  :thumbsup:

I made this and DH and DS were rubbing it in their faces!  Ok...maybe that's a southern thing but they LOVED it.  It was very very good.

https://thisoldgal.com/pressure-cooker-pork-carnitas-mexican-pulled-pork/

I added

1 serrano - and left the pith and seeds of both it and the jalepeno
1+tsp of cayenne
1 T of a good quality Mexican chili powder

I think besides that I followed the recipe exactly
we have left overs for prob one more dinner and a few lunches

Tip of the day - did you know that you can freeze citrus fruit - yep you can and then defrost in cold water of microwave and they are perfect!
