The Instant Pot Thread

[Mittengirl]

My favorite Instant Pot recipe is the Adobo Chicken recipe from the Food Network website https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/instant-pot-chicken-adobo-3649636

 

I use skinless chicken thighs (about 6) so I don’t brown the chicken.  I just throw the thighs in the pot for 17 minutes.  I also use cornstarch to thicken the sauce if I don’t feel like waiting for it to cook down at the end.

I’m considering an IP.  I’m trying to eat healthier, cooking a lot at home and like the convenience.

Every time I try to make rice in my Insta pot its horrible and way too sticky and mushy.😖

I mostly use mine for soup. I've used it for rice, over the last couple of months, as well. I like that I can just walk away, and let things cook. 

I have made ribs, I've tried whole chickens, but I prefer those cooked in the regular oven. Potato salad, potatoes and eggs cooked at the same time. Pasta just thrown together, although I haven't tried anything like that for a couple of years. 

Mine has been letting out a whistle, recently, when it first comes to pressure, and for 5-10 minutes after that, so it might be time to replace it. I've had it for six years now.
