I have a tip! I have discovered using mushrooms as a base for cooking poultry, enabling me to get away without adding any liquid. I build my mushroom base and place my protein on top. It takes longer to come to pressure because the mushrooms have to release their liquid first, but the results have been fantastic using a whole chicken, or chicken thighs. The meat ends up cooking in it's own juices and mushroom juice. I puree the cooking liquid and mushrooms after cooking and use it as a sauce/puree' over the chicken, potatoes/rice or pasta. Intense mushroomy flavor infused with chicken flavor! (and onions...) I haven't tried it on beef or pork yet but am going to. . If anyone's interested I will share my technique :)

@missmonasuzette8 жыл бұрын
Sure! Thank you for all your tips! Cut your mushrooms in half and stem:) Olive oil on bottom of hot pot. 1st row of mushrooms cut side down will brown adding flavor before liquid releases. Toss the rest on top any which way.

I purchased my Instant Pot 6qt two weeks ago and I'm hooked ! I just made babyback ribs the other night. Thirty minutes under pressure then remove and sauce. Out to the grill for a quick sear to crisp up and then sat down for yummy, smack yo mama ribs ;) Thanks for the tips ! P.S. - I dry rubbed the ribs after removing the membrane then used 1 cup of apple juice and a teaspoon of liquid smoke for the cook 👍

wow, I did not know about the 0 minutes then either! I do have a couple of tips for cleaning. if you cook something with a lot of garlic or other strong flavor, the way I like to clean is 2 put a cup or two of water and two or three tablespoons of vinegar into the pot and run it through and you're pressure for 2 minutes. It's a lot like that test starter that we all did when we first got our spot. That sanitizes and cleans and tends to take away the Aromas of the strong food. My next trip is for the ring. The Ring does not smell if you take it out and soak it in a bowl of water with a little vinegar for a while. I have not ever had trouble with smells transfer and no matter if I leave the lid on or whatever. I'm sure I will do the video on this because you've inspired me in that way but I thought I would share!

I bought my instant pot about 2 months ago and had never learned to use the pressure cooker feature. I tried it once and failed and shoved the evil thing back on the counter, flipped it off and walked away. This morning I was determined to cook a corned beef roast in it and walla, after watching a few videos my roast is cooking and smells delicious. Any and all tips are helpful to us old farts who are terrified of new fangled contraptions. I appreciate it and thank you soo much.

I would not cover the bowl with aluminum foil because it's toxic when hot, when cooking bowl in bowl using the steam or any function. instead find a lid that fits your bowl or cover with parchment paper. Other than that, great tips especially for new users. The steam function & bowl in bowl is also great for reheating foods @ 5 minutes for most foods and 2 minutes for noodles. :-)

@cokeysaid8 жыл бұрын
I always heat/boil cooking liquids in the pot using sauté mood. It has worked great. The amount that evaporates is insignificant. If you're still concerned, just use the lid. The lid will not allow for any real evaporation to happen. So, unless you leave it to boil for a long time without a lid, you should have no worries.
