InstaPot/Pressure Cooker

Recommended Posts

I got one from my MIL as an early birthday present. I am thinking about trying out some of nom nom paleo's pressure cooker meals! There is a mexican beef one and her kaula pork now has a pressure cooker variation. She even has one for bone broth in 2 HOURS!! wow! 

 

(I haven't used mine yet--re organizing the kitchen so it will have a home in the cupboards--we have a VERY small kitchen and I don't really want to keep it in the garage!)

I love mine; I call it my Speed Cooker.  I've had it only a few weeks and it's at the top of my favorite kitchen tools list, along with my immersion blender.

 

Just yesterday, I used it for:

steam-baked potatoes in 12 minutes

Braised Kale & Carrots in 8 minutes (Nom Nom Paleo)--even the big kale stems are tender

Mexican Beef in 30 minutes (Nom Nom Paleo pressure cooker version)

applesauce in 3 minutes

Kahlua Pig in 30 minutes (Nom Nom Paleo pressure cooker version)

 

It can be used for just about anything made in a slow cooker, in a fraction of the time and with much more intense flavors.

 

I won't use it again for:

broccoli--overcooked and mushy

spaghetti squash; even though it's cooked in 3 minutes, it's soggy and difficult to get the excess moisture out.

Happy Birthday, Spin!

 

I have a tiny kitchen, too, so I have to have tools and gadgets that multi-task. My Speed Cooker is such a time saver, I can get a lot more done.
