I researched frozen vs thawed meat, and could not get the answer I wanted...maybe I wasn’t asking the right question!
In any case, frozen meat takes just a bit longer to cook; that is great when you forget to take something out ahead of time! I have cooked frozen chicken and frozen beef roasts, so I know it can be done; the article I found recommenced that meat be prepped before being frozen, in the event it were to be used in this manner...ie: cut roast into pieces for stew, separate chicken into amounts to cook individually, etc. You learn something new everyday! |

I got this InstaPot thing to replace my slow cooker, my rice cooker, and my pressure cooker, to free up some space in my kitchen. I actually have used a pressure cooker regularly since I learned to cook - it infuses flavor like nothing else. My old school pressure cooker recently started giving my food a funny flavor though, as though the metal was leaching into the food. The handle was wobbly and the weight was chewed up from being accidentally dropped in the sink garbage disposal. It's probably 30 years old. So I decided to go the InstaPot route instead of just getting a new pressure cooker. I set aside this afternoon to get acquainted with my new InstaPot. I only got it unpacked and got so far in the directions, maybe an hour and a half later, before I decided to wait until tomorrow to give it a go. It's so much more complicated than my old pressure cooker. Maybe I am just a dinosaur in the area of cooking.

I found YOUTUBE videos on opening the box, on the features for my specific model, and video reviews useful. Please search for your model on YouTube to see what comes up. I also found blogs and websites like Hipcooking to be useful. She has a six-video pressure cooking series that I like. She has good knowledge on these new-style pressure cookers and you may want to check her out. If these don’t work for you, you can do some searches based on your model. There is a lot of information on the internet about Instant Pots to help ease you into using it. |

i suggest anyone just starting out with an instant pot join the Instant Pot 101 for Beginners on FB. Lots of newbie questions and references.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/InstantPot101forBeginners/?ref=bookmarks And i concur with Orema.... watch youtube videos. The more you know the more comfortable you will be. i had never really learned to cook and the instant pot has changed that. i truly enjoy planning, preparing, and making our meals now. (Don't tell my IP but i even made something in the oven the other day.)

J got hers. It's pretty. Thou Shall Not Covet. She hasn't had a chance to use it yet because of the move. I guess it would be kind of tacky to ask to borrow it before she's had a chance to use it, or even taken it out of the box. Patiently we sit and wait, sit and wait.........

After following y'alls recommendations and watching some YouTube videos, I did it! I pressure cooked a ham bone and then cooked some butterbeans. I feel a lot more confident now that I have used it and have an idea how it works. It's not so different from my old pressure cooker as I thought - high or low pressure, and number of minutes. Easy!
The only thing I don't like about it is the quick release pressure valve. I'm used to being able to pick up the whole pot, put it in the sink, and run cold water over the lid to quickly reduce the pressure with the old school pressure cooker. The IP has to stay in place on the counter and because of how my cabinets are built, they get sprayed with the steam and whatever is in the pot. Fortunately, one of the YouTube videos I watched recommended putting a dish towel over the quick release valve when you open it. I will try that next time. At least it's safer than opening a hot car radiator. The ham and beans were delicious, BTW!

Ninja Foodi Crisper
I have been wanting an Instant Pot cooker and an air fryer for a while now but just never got around to getting either of them. So I have been seeing commercials/infomercials for the Ninja Foodi crisper the last couple months and was doing some research on that vs the instant pot. Well today I decided to go for it and I ordered the Ninja foodi. I am excited to have an appliance that does all the instant pot does but crisps/air frys as well. I will post my review after it arrives.

I may be naive about just how many deviled eggs the B-F community eats or how many pot-lucks we get invited to but seems to me that the 1-10-1 method is best ( and no muscle strain lifting an I.P.).
1 min to fill pot with water and put egg (eggs ) 10 min to boil 1 min to remove, run under cold water. 1 pot, one soupspoon required. Our Moms, alive or passed, must be laughing their heads off. Call me a Luddite but I really don't see the benefit of this technology. BTW, my tone here is not hostile LOL

The local library is offering a free 3 course class on instapot cooking. I am thinking about taking it even though I don't have one yet.
