Food Thread

My brother gave me an Instant Pot cooker and I'm trying to find out how it would fit into my cooking style. My style is pretty simple.

I've got, and use, a crock pot and one of the first gen, glass tub, air cookers that fit my cooking style. The recipes I read aren't ones that I'd use.

I'm trying to keep clutter out of my life and this cooker seems to not fit.

Any feedback for keeping it?

I use mine to pressure cook tough cuts for stew at work. What would take hours in the crock pot takes about an hour. I pressure cook a lot of bone in venison and eat lots of the bones too in the stew.

I do not own one nor have I ever used one. However, one of my best friends bought one for his wife the other year, and she loves it. It has largely replaced her crockpot and stew pot, and she turns out some very good meals with it. As Mike said above, it’s a very fast cooker of meats, if you like pot roast.

Same here. It can do everything a crock pot can do, plus tons of things more...and better.
 
36 oz Tomahawk
Turned out beautiful and delicious 1st time cooking one

Some good chow might be happening tonight, if I don’t screw it up. Celebrating 2 years with the most amazing woman a guy like me could ever catch.

Any time I try making an herb crusted cut of meat, the crust flakes off before it even gets to the plate, so I’m beating an egg in the seasoning mixture this time. Should do the trick, eggs or egg whites is like an edible adhesive for when I need stuff to stay together.

Appetizer is bacon wrapped sea scallops.
Garlic herb crusted ribeyes because they’ll be much faster than a rib roast and I couldn’t find a roast that looked as good as these steaks.
Some shrimp Alfredo on angel hair pasta
A can of French cut green beans with some crumbled bacon and fried a bit in a little bacon grease.
Pinot noire with the beef, champagne or Riesling with everything else.
Dessert is chocolate mousse with whipped cream and cherries.
Probably margaritas after we digest a little.
