We need a video of Kait making cornbread in the Omni oven. Love this video.

Been using an Instant Pot for a couple years now in Vanlife, but only recently discovered the joys of the Steam button! With a “pot-in-pot” it’s a great way to re-heat anything (except bread-type stuff), you can eat right out of the pot, and don’t need a microwave! (Yeah, it takes a few minutes longer - but I have an extra few minutes)

[@Weretherussos]

Kait uses that all the time to cook sweet potatoes.

[@van_mod1]

Chili sounds like a great camping staple. Pasta and rice dishes also on point.

[@Weretherussos]

Yes they are!

[@moretoknowshow1887]

As a Texan, I approve of the beans, that’s how we make it. I also sub your pork for a pound of impossible ground, which works out nicely!!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks but I don’t like the impossible stuff.

[@pupcamper58]

I love my Insta pot! I am a full-time or two in a travel trailer, and I don’t know what I would do without it.❤

[@Weretherussos]

They make cooking so easy!

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

When you licked your finger and tasted the habanero, I thought, "We're going to see sweat on his scalp! You did not disappoint! I love this video, totally different from what you normally see in a cooking video. The wife has a sensitivity to salt and doesn't tolerate that much heat (she is getting better) so she makes mild chili and then lets me spice to taste. I've got a selection of hot sauces and, of course, crushed red pepper is always at hand. For those who are salt-sensitive, Trader Joes makes a fairly good hot sauce without much sodium in it. There's a book that I had for decades, called "Impromptu Cooking." Not really recipes, but suggestions of what to put in when you're making something; this video reminded me of that. I wish I could have joined you for a bowl of chili! (by the way, we always keep sour cream on hand to cool the really hot spice when needed, and the squeeze tubes make it easier to take along).

[@Weretherussos]

Great suggestion - thank you!

[@stephengneri2136]

You folks do fantastic videos with a lot of great info ! thanks.

[@Weretherussos]

Our pleasure!

[@mrmoshpotato]

🎶 Spice up your life!🎶

[@shandelle]

Here for this as I love everything spicy, including chili! I have an instant pot but usually still make mine in the crock pot.. my go to is mixing half chorizo and half ground bison, then well drained black beans, Rotel, and other chili stuff, hot sauce, seasoning, etc. It has never failed me!

[@Weretherussos]

Sounds great! When do I get to try a bowl?

[@martykirk7488]

That’s what I’m talking about. That really looks good.

[@gregchambers5770]

Don't travel much nowadays but it great that you invite me along ❤

[@Weretherussos]

I'm so glad!

[@shekharmoona544]

That's right Joe show those Texans beans go in chili. Make them squirm! 😂😂😂

[@jamesprescott2290]

Chili doesn’t have have beans! 😮😮😮Otherwise, looks awesome!

[@patriciacrumrine5890]

Put the fritos in the bottom of the bowl then chili and cheese. That’s a frito pie! You can spoon chili into a snack size frito bag and save on dishes.

[@Weretherussos]

Great idea!!

[@patriciacrumrine5890]

It's not original; frito pies were invented at the drugstore on the Santa Fe plaza.@@Weretherussos

[@Prairie7777]

Love your video. Thanks for sharing this!

You are so welcome!

[@evelynbolton5739]

Made this recipe today. Delicious!

[@Weretherussos]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Pumpkin2844]

Just got around to watching this video ! Awesome looking chili there. We also travel with an IP but I’ve added a Zojirushi bread maker, the smallest model makes 1lb loaves- perfect for two people. (makes doughs, cakes and jams too) With the inverter on, I can bake a bread while we travel. Bread machine gets secured in the sink for safety while traveling and the aroma in the van is simply divine. You should try to get your hands on one. I’d love to see what great recipes Kait could come up with. Love your videos !

[@Weretherussos]

That sounds awesome - we’ll look into it. Thanks!

[@seannewton8386]

Thanks for the recipe and the reminder about the Instant Pot. I only took an electric grill and toaster oven with us on our most recent trip. Definitely taking our Instant Pot along next time.

[@Weretherussos]

You’re welcome!

[@b3877896]

Joe you made me crazy for a bowl of that chili! Thanks for the awesome video. I'm gonna make me some slow cooker pork chili ASAP! Best regards to both of you guys, Lloyd C. in Houston

[@Weretherussos]

Rock on! Enjoy!

[@Hsia_Travels]

I'm drooling. not good when I'm hungry.. lol I have a Presto Electric Skillet. never thought to bring the Instant pot. New trend now.. 謝謝

[@Weretherussos]

Instant Pot is the best for traveling

[@martykirk7488]

Oh my goodness you’re cracking me up. I love your videos. I made my husband an apron last year that says Romain don’t use recipes. You guys are both awesome definitely like you.

[@wornoutwrench8128]

I have a 22 foot travel trailer, the kitchen has the usual 3 burner gas stove with oven. I pretty much cook anything that we do at home. I don't have 110 power unless we are at an RV park and in the 17 years that we have had the trailer, we have only done an RV park a handful of times. I have a Breville version of the instant pot at home, use it all the time. We are talking about down sizing into a B and a small instant pot will be on the list if we do it. As far as your chili recipe, the comment about "can't have too much garlic", beg to differ, I am allergic to garlic soooooo.... Yeah, it is fun. Not OMG call 911 allergic, it just makes me sick for a day. And the comment about you both eat it or both skip is so true. I can tell a person that had garlic in their food from 10 paces. Other then the garlic, just a little too much spice for me but looks good.

[@Weretherussos]

The small IP is perfect for a B. Sorry to hear about the garlic allergy. There are a few dishes I make that use an entire clove! Definitely don’t want to be around us after that

[@karenpounds4677]

Small suggestion, if you like Trader Joe’s, you may want to try adding the Italian Sofrito seasoning from Trader Joe’s into the chili. Next time you cook it, itmade my chili very yummy.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks for the tip!

[@nita-uk1ew]

Looks delicious!❤️❤️

[@Weretherussos]

Thank you 😋

[@Brigand231]

We love and swear by our Instant Pot Pro Crisp (8qt). I see you use a can koozie for your oil, I have one on our soy sauce in the fridge (we have 50L chest fridge so everything tends to run together). I believe that style can opener is called P38, for the record.

[@Weretherussos]

Yep that’s what it’s called! We have the 8qt as well and use the sous vide function quite a bit

[@Brigand231]

@@WeretherussosWe use the air fryer a lot, which is funny since we never use the actual convection feature.

[@martykirk7488]

Making my chili now!! Yummy 😋

[@Weretherussos]

Hope you enjoy

[@gregchambers5770]

Chill looks good

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks!

[@ccartee1]

Thanks for the content. You talk about compact nature of cans and tiny can opener. While you are at home, you can put leftover chili and leftover ingredients in your home fridge. Can you share examples of what you’d use for storing the post meal leftovers you have from this video? Looking for ideas that are compact and compatible with vanlife. I’m guess you prefer plastic containers for food storage in the van? Thanks!

[@Weretherussos]

Typically we wouldn’t make that much for two of us - maybe half the amount or less so that we could eat it in one meal or throughout the day. Otherwise we have the standard containers for left overs and just pop them in the fridge.

[@ccartee1]

@@Weretherussos You like glass or plastic for the van? At home, like glass, because don’t have to worry about BPA. And I can microwave it. Haven’t decided what I’m going to do on my STO. Have been eating a lot of pre-cut fruit in plastic containers.

[@lesleeallen5965]

We make cinnamon rolls, hot artichoke dip, and stuffed peppers. All made in the little instant pot and Omnia oven! We eat just as good as when we’re at home! Love you videos! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@Weretherussos]

That is awesome!

[@ranig2848]

Great video. What I’ve found was that eating the chili the second day was actually much better. The only issue is not finishing it on the first day 😅

[@Weretherussos]

Always! Love leftovers.

[@lrobie123]

good thing at the home base...after consuming the spicey chili....

[@Weretherussos]

So true

[@bonniepwtf]

Joe gets spicy could mean anything after the Bentley/Transit comparison!😂😂😂 I watched that 3 times. Was sorry to hear earlier this year that Instant Pot went bankrupt, hopefully someone will pick up where they left off. That's just how I make my chili except I use beef, have to try the pork. Great video.

[@Weretherussos]

It sounds like a restructuring and not that they’re going out of business. So the Instant Pots shouldn’t disappear from shelves.

[@bonniepwtf]

@@Weretherussos Glad to hear that, I use mine all the time.

[@debracurrie3023]

This is great. I would definitely have to lessen the heat, but looks so good Joe! Would love more recipe videos with IP and maybe the Omni oven too

[@Weretherussos]

Sounds good!

[@johnb6690]

I’d like to see Kate’s corn bread or any bread recipe made in a camper. Thanks for the video.

[@Weretherussos]

Here are her corn muffins made in the camper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ukY5mDqqljoq8

and if you need to cool off the heat some more just add sour cream...ding!

[@Weretherussos]

Always a great addition

[@Lt184]

Lol good old P38 I have one on every key chain. And yep that insta pot is great we love ours, that and our black stone griddle allows us to cook just about anything when we are camping 🏕️ in our van 🚐 Ok that chili looks great but add some sour cream and a hunk of corn bread. Our best meals was a fish boil, pizza just to name a few.

[@Weretherussos]

I’ll say I like the corn chips better than the corn bread 😉

joe - at the beginning, drain the liquid from the meat/beans/tomatoes, etc, and then add a can of your fav beer to the pot. and when you're done spooning it into a bowl, add a squeeze of lime. trust me

Will do - thanks!

Hey Joe, I'm watching this video cooking this Chilli and you and i have an a very similar cooking style... I've kind of grown to like the ghost peppers and hotter but, certain person in my camp has whoosedddd out and that's okay. were having fun maybe you should make a cooking book, since i have read your other two books? 🙂

[@captainpaddy1524]

I have found the an induction stove and the Instant Pot suck up a lot of power from the batteries. How do you deal with that?

[@Weretherussos]

Big battery bank and/or good solar. We have the equivalent of 1,000 amp hours of battery and can run our system using the instant pot and the electric kettle (multiple times a day) for about 4-5 days before we need to recharge. In our previous camper we had less than a third of the battery bank, but we had a lot more solar and could stay out almost indefinitely if we had plenty of sun

[@thebairdhaslanded]

so now that Joe is doing some cooking... does that mean that Kate is going to be doing some sort of motorized bike content in the future? lol I would be ironic if she gives us some electric bike content while Joe makes dinner lol

[@Weretherussos]

Kait’s actually not allowed to ride any type of motorized bike - she’s had a few oppsies 😉

[@thebairdhaslanded]

@@Weretherussos I thought it was the other way around lol

[@suprane3845]

Question: my understanding is that Trader Joe's has discontinued the chili seasoning blend. Have you come up with a suitable substitute?

[@Weretherussos]

They have another one that’s spicy but you can use any chili seasoning.

[@darkercrimson2645]

I am from Texas... beans in chili is a more you thing, if you like it, do it. doesnt make it any less chili... beans is more a consideration when you think of how you are serving it... frito pie, hot dogs, etc, no beans.... by itself with maybe cornbread or something similar, add the beans...... but whatever you do... IF YOU USE CANNED BEANS, STRAIN AND RINSE THEM!!!

[@lynfl9814]

I will admit; I could not eat your chili. Wayyy too much heat.

I’d just have to leave some of the heat out then
