Carla Makes Coq au Vin: Instant Pot Essentials | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Carla shows us how to make Coq au Vin in an Instant Pot. Instead of hours in the oven, this classic French braise only needs 15 minutes at high pressure to achieve silky-shreddy chicken meat and vegetables so tender you can cut them with a spoon.

Exactly what I am looking for... a professional explaining to me the benefits and pitfalls of the instant pot. She is the only person I've seen so far that sautees in a different pan. Thanks for the great video!

[@meaghanbeck5851]

I just love watching Carla cook. The way she explains things is perfect.

I just made this exactly as Carla said, and it was the most insanely tender and flavor-packed chicken dish I have ever had. I can't stop thinking about it! Even better Co au Vin than I've had in restaurants. This video was very helpful, and also very entertaining. I could watch Carla all day.

[@judithknevitt]

Pressure cookers do have their place. If one needs time to prepare more several dishes for dinner, the pressure is time-saving. This Gives one time to get all done at the same time. I use mine every day. I did this dish using Carla's method and was perfect. Thanks

[@Paelorian]

Judy Nevitt It's also the absolute best way to prepare stocks.

[@judithknevitt]

Yes indeed! I use it for Rice last min .. cooks in about 10min .. I do not have an Insta Pot, However, I am really considering this Option, as my Pressure cooker is stove top. any suggestions as to brand ?

[@Paelorian]

Judy Nevitt Instant Pot is the market leader for a reason. It's the best bag for the buck. I bought my standard 6qt one for $60. Slow cooker, saute function, food warm mode, good pressure cooking. I'll probably try it as a rice cooker soon since I don't have a dedicated machine. The top of the line Instant Pot even has a sous vide mode now, which is amazing to me. I would have saved the $100 I spent on my Anova immersion circulator if that had been out. Sure it's probably not as accurate, but I don't need accuracy to the half degree for anything except eggs. One wouldn't notice meat two degrees off from the target temperature. Wirecutter has a great article comparing pressure cookers. They recommend the Instant Pot. I think it's what the recommend as a slow cooker, too! I do use the slow cooker function since it's the best way to make carmelized onions other than standing over the stove for 45min, only a little bit better especially if you finish the onions in a pan (or saute mode) to get the last high head carmelization. I freeze small flat squares of carmelized onions and when I heat them up in the pan they're perfect. But I use the Instant Pot for chicken stock and soup more than anything else. Pressure cooking.

[@judithknevitt]

Paelorian ..I do love my Anova use it often .. just read ATK and Seriouseats review .. ATK likes the Breville , I do have several Breville appliances which i am happy with .. However, it is 100$ more the InstaPot .. it comes down to durability and use for me. I try to buy the best first time around. and being a Alton Brown disciple I hate Unitaskers !!! WOW! freezing the carmelized onion great idea. hmm something to think about. Thanks for the good ideas and Info.

[@Paelorian]

Judy Nevitt I put them in a Ziploc freezer bag flat, and if they're thick with my finger I can make a cross that will freeze them into four separate squares. Honestly I think electric pressure cookers like slow cookers all perform similarly, so consider saving that hundred bucks. Note that electric cookers get up to like 12.5psi, and stovetops go to 15psi, so you need to add a little bit extra time to stovetop recipes for the same results. There's a percentage but I can't remember it for sure and don't want to give you a wrong one. These multi-cookers are great multitaskers. For some functions like pressure cooking and slow cooking they're as good as dedicated machines. But if you use some of the niche functions often a dedicated machine is often better (rice, sous vide, yogurt maker, etc.) What I don't like about the Instant Pot is that the lid isn't streamlined as much as it should be and it takes a little more time and effort to take apart and dry out than it should. Not a big deal. Might be improved on the newer models, as I saw the pressured valve was improved. I do really like the inner stainless steel stockpot. Also, good idea checking Serious Eats, I always check their advice. My first stop for recipes and I went with their cast iron and carbon steel seasoning, maintenance, and cleaning advice over all others, even though it was unusual. I trust them.

[@goodwinlaw]

I made this recipe yesterday for the first time. All during the process I kept identifying things I would do a little different but I stayed with Carlas recipe. I have to admit that it would have been a mistake to change anything. It might be the tastiest thing I've ever made. I'm going out to try to find her cookbook now. I used a White Bordeaux in the recipe since she never suggests what white wine would be best.

[@Chrochella]

goodwinlaw A white Bordeaux...huh, never knew such a thing existed. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the tip. Gonna have to try it!👍🏻

[@Xavom24]

Love how Carla measures the amount of wine to add by how much you need to drink! XD

I actually made this, and it was fantastic! Everything was so tender!

Will definitely make again!

The heating element is not the button in the middle. The heating element is the blackish metal plate around the button. The button is a sensor pad to help with determining if the inner pot is installed and won't allow cooking to commence if it is not there.

i now see this as an excuse to make one with white wine and one with red wine and see which one i like better

[@AndrewThibeault]

Okay I can totally understand subbing out the pearl onions for shallots and the lardons for bacon, those make sense. But why use white wine instead of red?

[@michaelscott-wx7ww]

generally whites are used for meats such as chicken, and its possible to red wine would take longer to cook out and add to much of a wine flavor to the dish? not 100% sure though

[@hodgeac]

I guess coq au vin is regionally made with whatever wine they have on hand. I have no idea why she didn't mention it. I'm with you, I've never seen white wine used for coq au vin either. It's 100% normally made with a Burgundy. I don't see why you couldn't make this same recipe with the normal Pinot Noir for instance. I just wish she would have touched on it in the video.
