KEEP THE DELICIOUS INSTANT POT RECIPES COMING!!!!! I truly LOVE seeing Dusty and the boys all cozy at the dinner table, enjoying those amazing meals!!!!

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

It’s funny. Several times I’ve been feeling low and I find a new video of yours and I’m instantly smiling. Thanks to you!!!

[@justcallmesuzzie]

I love watching you all sit around the table for meals. It is one of the most memorable moments when I was a kid and in raising children in my home.

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

I'm a single lady and I own five instant pots and I use my instant pots all the time constantly I don't even remember the last time I ever used my stove. The instant pot is the greatest invention I don't know how I ever got along without it and I'll tell you I love the food that I cook in it

[@laurendavis771]

You'll think this is funny... When my husband hears that little song it makes he likes to say I'm playing video games not cooking. LOL

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

😂

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

Pioneer woman truly needs to pay you some kind of compensation!!! You have all of her stuff! lol.

[@michelekirby-xv4sw]

England here. Just bought an instant pot because of your videos. Haven't tried it yet but can't wait. ❤

[@jaimestoneberger415]

❤ you and your recipes! Oddly enough-I had just told my hubby that an Instapot would make a great Christmas present! (He's sold on the carnitas- might get one yet lol! )

[@amandaharvey4762]

My Bestie’s hubby gave her an instant pot for Christmas about 3 years ago. She cooked a chicken and then boxed it up and put it in the attic. The following Christmas she was a bit strapped for cash so she gifted it to me (with his blessing, btw) and OMG, best Christmas ever! I don’t know what was she thinking. I told her it takes effort to continue the friendship cause I don’t need that kinda negativity. 😂🤣 Kidding, y’all. I love her. But who says hand me downs for a gift is a bad thing? I’m telling you. It rocks! Used ALL THE TIME.

[@kathyloomis3107]

I thought you meant she boxed up the chicken and put it in the attic🤣🤣🤣 I was sure questioned it for a minute until I read the whole thing.😃

[@amandaharvey4762]

@@kathyloomis3107 😂🤣

[@marklutker9720]

great, plan on making the ziti soon! I think I would add the cream after the pasta cooks... I hear cream products don't like the instant pot... the cream separates at high temp??

[@Vro-]

Great recipes! For a twist on the ziti, I use 1 jar sauce, 1 jar water, cook, then top like you do with the cheese & add pepperoni and let it melt, call it pizza pasta, so good!

[@Mel-vu9ss]

Yum!!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Sounds great!

[@shellyturner2766]

Where did you find a Boston butt to fit in your instant pot? Love my instant pot... mashed potatoes, boiled eggs, whole chicken, chicken broth, teriyaki chicken bowls, red beans and rice, just rice...a few of my favorite uses.

[@robertadunaway7030]

Waiting on Brooke's Instant Pot cookbook to come out.

[@rachelhero3413]

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve had an instant pot for two years and I’m terrified of it

[@angelarothbauer8096]

Oh so simple and fast - makes roasts in 40 minutes chicken in twelve - game changer for real

[@AliceKato-p1y]

Me too. Two years. Very embarrassing.

[@sharonwilson6465]

The same for me.

[@marywalker1394]

Same ❤🙏🏾

[@tinashort9098]

I love my instant pot more than my kids😂😂😂. I made the Oreo balls from your candy video last Christmas and they were delicious!! My daughter in law has a cookie party every December 23 and we all make some kind of candy or cookie. We make enough for everyone to fix a big box of everybodys goodies!!! It’s so much fun!!! I’ve got the flu right now and I’m quite miserable! But I’m glad it’s now and not at Christmas time!! It’s going around really bad here in big ol Gretna VA!!!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I hope you get better soon!!!

[@bittylovin7973]

I have a few pork roasts so definitely doing this pork carnitas recipe

[@laurendavis771]

I love my instant pot. Meat cooks up so so tender! I like to use it while I'm busy doing other things.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I agree! Everything is so tender and juicy!

[@sarahlarson1082]

Yessss! Someone else who peels potatoes with a knife instead of a peeler! I also love my 2 instant pots.

[@susancooper812]

I love your instant pot recipes, I have to start using mine and get over being afraid of it !! Lol, ❤❤ you are the best !!more recipes, please

[@marywalker1394]

Same ❤😞🙏🏾

[@warriorqueen8235]

Same here. Mine has never been out of the box since last Black Friday 2022!

[@NiNitosix]

Got do more… please! I use mine all the time too but I’m stuck. I need more recipes. 💕🤗 thank you sweetheart. You’re so precious!!! I LOVE my instant pot is my friend too. 😂

[@BettyHorn]

I'd LOVE more instant pot recipes! These look great!

[@teresawills9224]

Please make more instant pot meals love this series. You guys rock. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to many of us.

[@danilleworthen503]

My culinary life just changed, and I must do the same to you. When you get the soy sauce out, get the ponzu sauce out too. Kroger has it, probably Safeway/Vons too. Mind blowing. I promise.

[@jaxiann]

What does the ponzu sauce taste like? Do you use it with the soy?

[@NiNitosix]

Ponzu ..I’ll have to check that out too. Thanks!😊

[@crazychick]

I have a hack! Every time i buy onions i bring them home and get my hubby to cut them all up every one of them mostly diced a few in chunks and then i freeze them because it takes no time to add frozen onions to a meal and never had it taste any different.... Its a lot better then cutting onions every time you want them

[@jillghiati5761]

.put in fridge first then a person does not tear-up . . .

[@LisaYoung-bb5fe]

We have an Instant Pot for about 2-3 years now but have never used it. We just don’t know how to use it. Hopefully we can try some of your recipes! Thank you Brooke fo all you do!!

[@brendahennesseereger8609]

Don’t be afraid to use it. Most people (my sisters) were afraid that it would blow up. I accidentally ran my dry, yes it was my fault, it didn’t blow up.

[@lindalawson300]

Yeas, more instapot recipes, please! I love all your recipes.

[@elizabethkoobs1060]

Thank you! I'm always looking for more easy, delicious recipes.❤️🎄❤️

[@rivahcat8247]

The literal translation of carnitas is "little meats", or little bits of meat, which is how the pork ends up. I recently bought a 2 quart pressure cooker and haven't yet busted it out of the box, so hopefully you will be my inspiration to put it to work for me.

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

Brook, what do you mean by " eye balling it"?

[@kimberlysmith475]

She means not measuring with a measuring spoon or cup.

[@michellebrill5328]

More Instant Pot videos please. I bought one 4 years ago and never opened it.

[@IloveCamels335]

My favorite of your videos yet - yessss big thumbs up! Always on the look out for new and tasty instant pot recipes and these all looked soooo delicious. Will give them all a try. Thank you for the amazing video 😋

[@TheresaPierce-u5j]

The loaded potatoes sounds good,but I would have put in a little corn starch to thicken it .😊

[@janetfisher3091]

I use instant mash potatoes to thicken my cream soups, adds more vitamins and flavor

[@jlcarter1975]

Please copyright "I don't know lets find out". I see tee shirt sales in his future. It could have a silhouette of a boy passing out too.

[@pamelaclark6694]

I don’t have an instant pot but I love your vids!! ❤

[@melissadunn3831]

Just started the video and you haven’t even begun the first recipe, but I just had to hop on here and tell you how gorgeous you look! I’m loving your hair!! OK back to the video now 😊

[@cynthiapangburn2249]

Look I don't even have an instant pot lol but I'm watching anyway maybe you'll get me to ask for one for xmas

[@sharonwilson6465]

I have 2 instant pots. I have only used my larger one a few times and the smaller one has never been out of the box. They are intimidating to me for some reason 😂 Please do more instant pot recipes so I can get over my fears 😂.

[@Sunnyday069]

I love your baby’s responses have changed over time! I’m so stoked to try these! I make carnitas in my instant pot all the time but I’m trying the other ones!

[@kellycook4499]

Bestie just wanted to say you look so beautiful! Your joy is infectious!

[@millerjoan]

You have a beautiful family! Job well done, momma! 💕

[@katrinaDS]

I think either the potato soup or the chicken and broccoli would be my favorite. I love my Insta pot also!

[@melaniejohnson3130]

I know what I'm asking for for Christmas.

[@angelarothbauer8096]

I asked hubby at Christmas a few years ago and he said that’s not a present - uh yes bought myself one

[@tinashort9098]

I got mine 3 yrs ago for Christmas and I swear I use it every other day!!! It’s magnificent!!!

[@kdrinnin1]

Love Instant Pots! I have two, a Pioneer Woman one called Martha, and an older plain one called George (as in George and Martha Washington 😉). I've been known to have both going at once. More Instant Pot recipes, please!

[@bambiprice8186]

MARJORIE,! How hilarious!😅

[@pamelajordan72]

When I make carnitas. I put drained Goya black beans and cabbage slaw on the corn tortilla. I griddle the carnitas for crispness and add onions to sear. Sooo good!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Ohhhh I bet that is good!

[@blynmayo]

This is my first comment to you! I just want to thank you for the videos! You make prepping and cooking meals fun no matter what you are making, you do it with great charisma, happiness, and a smile! Love it! PS I am going to buy me an insta pot for my Christmas present! 😍

[@lindabeard488]

Great job 👏. Recipes are the bomb. Thanks so much. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤

[@bwebgirl]

Thanks. I already have plans for the Creamy Parm Ziti and the Chicken and Broccoli. I completely agree with you on the Instant Pot being your BFF - mine too. I will never hard boil eggs any other way again. I have 2 sizes of baskets and can make a bunch of hard boiled eggs that peel so easily. I love, love, love my instant pot!! Thanks so much for bringing us into your warm, loving home and sharing your wonderful recipes and family with us. You have personally, made me fall in love with cooking again. My late husband and I used to cook and entertain a lot, but after he passed, I just lost my desire to cook. I'm not saying I stopped cooking, but I was just cooking. Since I found your youtube channel, I've started cooking almost every day, and experimenting with recipes like I used to. Thanks again and God Bless you and yours!!

[@loram96]

I love my Instant pot. I can't wait to try the carnitas. Everything looks delicious!

[@janeattaway9315]

I would love for you to do instant pot recipes!! Enjoy your video’s. Thanks

[@darlenem4940]

I love how the kids cretik dinner. Omgosh they are so cute

[@pigoff123]

I love using my crockpot

[@jenniferdavis8248]

I have a Ninja Foodi instead of an instant pot, but I will definitely try some of these recipes in it! I love the NF and use it almost every day, it's the best of both worlds: instant pot and air fryer in one. If it ever dies on me will be a sad day!

[@karenlyons3790]

I have a crockpot that's it...don't have an insta- pot.. I have to do recipes in the crockpot....❤️🙏😊

[@cynthiamullin661]

Thanks for these great recipes.😊

[@angelarothbauer8096]

I love how Braydon doesn’t stop eating just nods his head

[@JessEllinVlogs]

loved this Brooke! and I finally used the pressure cook mode in my instant pot the other day and finally not so scared of it so I'll be making the ziti! its funnily enough how I do spaghetti but we typically use penne (I know different to ziti pasta) but it looks bomb!

[@dmmrad54]

Recipes look fabulous. I love cooking with an instapot. You can sauté, boil, simmer. Mine is a slow cooker also.

[@debrajackson3416]

We love InstantPot pasta meals. Crack Chicken Pasta, Spaghetti, Garlic, Parmesan Chicken, Ribs

[@janinem6729]

I have only just found you on KZbin, it's been a pleasure to see what you cook when you think you have nothing in the cupboards for fridge. My friends say I'm good at making something out of nothing.... As I am disabled I do need the support of friends or care workers to help me cook.... So I supervise and tell them what to do...but thanks to my grandmother and my mother's guidance when I was young.... I can use up every scrap of food in the house. I have actually as a result managed to teach some of my friends and carers how to cook tasty food on a budget I don't have an instant pot but I do have a pressure king Pro and it is my best friend, making soups pasta dishes casseroles etc I do not have an oven at the moment or a hob, but it's amazing what you can produce with a pressure cooker air fryer and microwave Could you explain pulses lentils and dried beans in the instant pot please Keep up the good work... You are an inspiration... I love your sunny positive disposition.....

[@LorriClark-mn6xt]

Those recipes look wonderful. Thank you for the ideas!

[@karenlane6953]

I love my instant pot too its the best pot I ever bought.

[@gqueen9612]

I love my Instant pot as well, haven't named her yet though, lol. Really loving the new hair color too, Brooke! You're awesome. Thanks for the great videos, I always look forward to them!

[@redgingerbreadpam]

I absolutely love all 3 of my Instant Pots...yes 3 I have a 3 qt, a 6 qt & an 8 qt. I use all of them. One of my favorite things to make is an easy shrimp boil.

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

I have 5. Two 3 quarts, two 6 quarts and one 8 quart and I use them all the time.

[@debimorsette1685]

And don’t forget, the Instant Pot makes the best bone broth in 2 hrs rather than 12-24 hrs. (Psst, Brooke,have Kylen help you with your math. When you hold up 4 fingers on both hands, that means 8 Instant Pot dinners; not 4. 😂😂). Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

[@cambriaperez2865]

It's Prime day and I want to get the instant pot, but I can't remember what size is Marjorie?? 6qt or 8qt ??

[@kristinafisher9772]

I heard ziti, ziti, ziti. Lol. Your family is just so adorable. 😊 One of my favorites too.I make mine like Sbarro's without the meat. Lots of tomato sauce and cheese! Great ideas in this video. Love them

[@debradehart377]

I love your channel and the recipes. You and your family are absolutely awesome. Thank you .

[@cathytuffley5472]

Pollo is chicken Carnitas is pork Carnitas Sada is beef that Carnitas Sada might not be spelled right but you could probably get a better translate from somebody who speak Spanish. I just live in California near the border.

[@eloisebennett1673]

I use mafalda noodles instead of ziti and, instead of heavy cream, after it is cooked, stir in ricotta. Sprinkle on mozzarella and "baked ziti" becomes "lasagna"

[@Jaynes-Path]

It looked like your Soy sauce was in a large bottle? If so, what brand is it and where did you get it?

[@kerryberry142]

I buy Kikomqn in that size and believe that is what she using

[@joyt7754]

There was a previous video where they had gone to Costco and soy sauce in the big jug was one of the items they bought. Kikkoman brand.

[@sharonwilson6465]

Sam’s Club or Costco has them.

[@Jaynes-Path]

Thanks! We don't have a Costco which is probably why I've not seen it. We do have a Sam's about 30 min away. I will look for it the next time I get there.

[@MT-US]

I'm sure I don't use mine enough... because cooking is not something I'm good at. But I think these are doable... thanks!

[@wendygardner9012]

Carnitas, literally meaning "little meats", is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork in oil or preferably lard until tender. Wikipedia

I take the lazy route. I use a bag of Southern style hashbrowns for the diced potatoes. I always have chopped frozen onions, too, because I rarely ever chop an onion.
