5 Things You Didn't Know the Instant Pot Could Make! Easy Instant Pot Recipes -

[@LadyBridgetSidhe]

Love your videos and your tips! I am the #1 of 6 kids, so I really get the 6 sisters... I just have one brother, he’s the baby. LOL. I have a tip for you - I also use my IP for making veggie broth. I save all the ends, like carrot ends, snap pea ends, tomato ends, celery ends, etc. (not cukes or potatoes though). I stick ‘em in a bag in the freezer. When it gets full enough, I put them in the IP and add enough water just to cover. I put them on for 45 minutes until they are basically mush. Then I strain out the veggies, and also squeeze all the juice out of them. By that time, they are good for the compost, AND I’ve gotten the broth as a second use from the ends that most people throw away. Give it a try! And Keep On Cookin’ !

[@jamisonsmith5216]

This is great finding out the different ways to use i.p. for those renting a room without kitchen or while traveling. I like especially how to use it as hot plate.

[@ammerslo2632]

Love!!! That you tell the button options for different pots... like no manual button ones!!! Thank you.

[@creativitykiller]

Not sure if you know this or if someone shared with you. I'm Mexican, we always put the tortillas on a griddle to toast and warm them before rolling them. Keeps them from cracking, breaking and you can roll them tighter. 👍 p.s. I'm looking at my new 8qt nova instant pot just thinking of making menudo in it. So excited to make yummy food faster. Thank you for sharing all your ideas

[@marynewbury5436]

Please share your menudo recipe 🥰

[@davidh9844]

RE: Strawberry "jam". Try adding a few of those green, unripe strawberries that you really want to throw away. They add extra pectin for thickening the jam.

I think you have got to be the best person to do these types of videos I like all your videos. I am legally blind and there is a lot that is on KZbin that has no Auditorio it is all just a video with no sound and there is a lot of blind users out there with instant pots that would love to have more videos. So I pass your videos on to them thank you so much

Try rolling them in parchment paper. Then drop the wrapped R&BB 🌯 into a gallon ziplock freezer bag. You can then go from freezer to microwave 🌊 in one step 🦶no need to pull off the foil prior to a reheat.

[@spacewolfcub]

Love it!

[@CalculatedRisk58]

I got the 6 quart, but also by myself and don't want to bake or fry unless it's something I"m just craving, ,like fried green tomatoes I LOVE THE INSTANT POT. I live in MO and it's humid here in the heat of the summer so no boiling for me either. This is a great alternative and love that I cook whole meals in it!

[@shidling7782]

Thanks for the video; I made a cheesecake yesterday in my IP and was wondering what to make for a topper - have fresh strawberries in the fridge. Guess what I’m making today!

My George Forman grill is the PERFECT way to toast wraps, or warm & press a sammy like a Panini press. Easy peasy

[@pat6601]

Yeah, a regular pan works like a charm too. I didn’t see the point to that one or the rice.

[@51andhappy44]

Pat Some people are minimalists and it’s nice to see all the things you can do in your expensive instant pot. If you can do the same thing in your instant pot that you can do with other gadgets, what’s the point in having all the other gadgets.

[@CynthiaRaxter]

@@51andhappy44 I did give away one Crock Pot, a rice cooker and a bamboo steamer... but the George Forman stays. :-) The Geo. Forman is great for cooking bacon without a mess. Grilled veggies. Pancakes (mine has a griddle plate). And frozen boneless chicken breasts in 8 minutes. I also kept my electric tea kettle. I use it instead of the Instant Pot for boiled eggs. I could never get them just right in the Instant Pot - i always overcooked them. They came out with the green ring around the yolk. The tea kettle is perfect. It boils water and turns off. 8 minutes later perfect hard boiled eggs.

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

Thank you! Just got mine yesterday for my birthday. I’m making beef stroganoff right now for dinner. I hope it turns out delicious.

[@Simplycomfortfood]

Love your videos. Here is a cost saving tip for you. Costco or Sam's sells individual popup foil sheets that work perfect for wrapping burritos. At first I thought they were too expensive however I found I was using so much foil tearing pieces off the roll of foil. I believe there are like 500 sheets of foil. We make breakfast burritos in our home and we make a batch about every 10 days. We bought the last box of foil sheets about 3 months ago and we have only used less than half. They are very convenient. Give them a try.

[@Sinatra4]

I will be making the strawberry jam for sure. Thanks for sharing 💗👍

[@judykrugman4704]

Two questions: How long can you keep the bean burritos in the freezer? What is the best way to defrost them? Thanks!

[@joshuabrande2417]

They’ll las a very long time. They don’t need refrigeration, so they travel well when you’re on the road. I don’t need to heat them up.I wrap them in plastic wrap rather than tin foil. Great for when you’re traveling with the kids.

For refried beans it much easier to pour them into a blender and in a minute you've got perfect consistency. Then to make it traditional style, make sure to add about a Tbsp of lard or bacon grease for every 2 cups of beans (yes, yes, it's not so healthy but that's how it's done in Mexico ;?).

[@arthurmurfitt7698]

Thanks gonna try that!

I just bought the Wolfgang Puck 8 qt programable Stainless steak pressure cooker. It lid is marked so well no worries what is seal or release and open and close big white lettering on the Black lid so also it has all the same settings. Missing the Lid side handle but the rest is bolder print. Love them both

[@lorimast]

JAM!!! That is amazing!!!

[@DLee1923]

💕 I honestly would only make beans, out of the list of things you made. Abd the burritos were a little silly to me. It'd be 100 times easier either warming them on a small skillet, griddle or even the microwave. This way is just daring someone to burn their fingers, etc. 😏

[@kathleenwest1463]

Try using 1/2 oil and 1/2 ghee or clarified butter. It won't burn, but you get all the butter flavor.

[@clarewillison9379]

To de-hull a strawberry quickly (and keep more strawberry) stick a drinking straw up its bottom and the leaf and white core pop out. I’ve been wondering if I could pop corn in my IP. Now I know👍🏼😘

Use an egg slicer to slice your strawberries. Works great for mushrooms too!

[@Mary-jz9vr]

I’m new to the Instant Pot. The first thing I did was hard boiled eggs @ 666, peeling was a nightmare, not one egg was easy! Maybe the 666 was the issue. 9 eggs and they didn’t cook evenly. I believe I have figured out what I will do differently. I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks. You seem to have dishes I want to make, and I also I like the fact that you get to the point. For instance if I find a channel making frozen vegetables and I see the time is 30 minutes I don’t go there. Didn’t mean to rattle on.

[@vickibartz4788]

Eggs are the best in insta pot! Hard boiled is 4- 5 minutes . Soft is 3 minutes

[@rhhutchins194]

Great video. I haven't tried beans, yet, but certainly will now because you made it look so easy. (I like the TX shaped cutting board.) As for popcorn, I've not had very good results. The IP leaves too many 'widow' kernels . . . I'd guess close to a fourth don't pop. I use coconut oil and the saute setting and make sure all kernels are oiled and spread across the bottom. Any tips for getting more of the kernels to pop? Will definitely try the strawberry jam, too. Keep up the great work!!!

[@elayned6147]

[@jessstuart7495]

I use my insta-pot to make home-made chicken stock. After I roast and carve a whole chicken, I throw the carcass in the pot with about 4 cups of water. Run the insta-pot for about 30 minutes, vent it, then let it cool for about another 10 minutes. I strain the stock into a fat separator, then transfer the stock to a 1-qt mason jar. Leave a little airspace at the top (about 1/4 inch) and put a lid on it, and stick it in the fridge. The warm stock heats the air in the jar enough to form a vacuum seal, but I always store mine in the fridge to be on the safe side.

Use a huller made specifically for removing the green bits off the strawberries. It is less wasteful time and strawberry-wise.

[@kizziewhite6352]

I saw someone use a straw to punch out green stem/area. It was brilliant!

[@b_uppy]

@@kizziewhite6352 They make "pincher" for just grabbing the hull. A straw is not necessarily going to work on a less ripe strawberry.

[@kizziewhite6352]

@@b_uppy I've seen those. This was something I saw done. Thought it was pretty creative. then they just threw away the straw,!

[@b_uppy]

@@kizziewhite6352 The hullers I describe generate the least waste and effort. You lose less fruit and don't have to bother with a flimsy straw versus a greenish strawberry. Sharing this for those people who are unaware and would find this better than bent straws or sore fingertips.

[@wildcatz42743]

I love your videos! What did you use to drain the rice (a collander or what)? I've tried rinsing it before but I have the wrong size collander apparently because the rice goes through the holes and lose a lot of rice that way.

if you use a straw (mcdonald for instant), just push it through the stem from the back and it leaves virtually all of the strawberry thus not wasting any of it.

I'm getting my Instant Pot tomorrow! I used to make kettle corn on my stove in a big pot, but then I got a flat top stove and I haven't made it successfully since. I'm thinking that the IP would work for that! I used to put flavouring oils in too. Or just brown sugar instead of white sugar.

if you want to make your popcorn taste like the stuff in the movie theaters use the same amount of coconut oil in your pot when I always do is I'll send the coconut oil out I just always got to be as above 78 degrees and it'll go liquid and then you stir that you're corn kernels in it and then port in the instapot.

Hi. I'm half Korean. You don't always need to "wash" your rice. I just wash it once and cook. The more starch the sticker the rice is (depends on rice too). If I want fluffy rice I wash it 3-4 times. If I buy quality rice I don't wash it at all. This is what I learned from a Korean mother. You basically wash the rice to get rid of bugs and lose the starch to make fluffy rice.

They cooked under pressure for 45 minutes then she left them for 15 minutes before opening the instant pot so yes technically they cooked for 60 minutes.
