Favorite Instant Pot meals

[Anonymous No.13572917]

Hello friends, I just got an instant pot for christmas and have been using it a ton.
What are some of your favorite meals/recipes you use for it?

Trying to find a large portion pulled chicken breast recipe for it.

Straight up I just pressure cook the chicken in BBQ sauce, and then hand shred it (I have latex gloves, but you can let it cool- I vastly prefer hand shredding to the stupid two fork method), and then throw it back in with extra sauce for another 5-10 minutes.
A fucking home run is using your BBQ chicken inside a colby jack melt with sourdough bread (or really any bread).

is it just me or is the "slow cooker" mode on these faggots really fucking slow, it seems like literally half the heat as the old fashioned dedicated slow cooker I used to have

1.3 on the rice. A pressure cooker forces water into the grain, it makes it starchy and sticky. Use the real rice cooking numbers. 1.3 is for sushi rice, 1 to 2 is for basmati. So use 1.3 for basmati in these beasts.

Half BBQ sauce, half Italian dressing. Just enough to cover everything and the bottom. The meat will release liquid as it cooks. You can thicken up the sauce/add more later.
>>13572947
The easiest/laziest way to shred meat, by far, is to use an electric hand mixer on it. Just shove it in there and the whole thing will be pulled in seconds.
>>13574552
You can adjust the heat on the slow cooker setting, make sure it's not set on low.

>You can adjust the heat on the slow cooker setting, make sure it's not set on low.
yeah I know, but even on highest it seems low to me. Classic crock pots used to max out at a low simmer. Instapot slow cooking doesn't seem to get that hot. It takes way longer.

My instantpot manual says you need at least 18oz of liquid, not thick sauces to make steam to properly pressurize
Is this not the case?

Have you tried making Darth Vaders stew? My instantpot came with that very recipe oddly enough.

Instapots suck at slow-cooking. But it's fine because pressure cooking is superior for 99% of recipes.

Slow stew, any meat, some veggies, spices and 3 hours waiting.

Tried out cooking mushroom risotto in an instant pot instead of the traditional method. Ended up really good.

Sautée onion, green pepper and garlic. 1 1/2 c rice, 500ml water, can black beans, 12oz salsa, season with cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika. Pressure cook on high for 24 minutes and natural release.

I'm interested in this half BBQ sauce half italian dressing thing.
That's a weird fucking combo of tastes that I would've never thought of, and I'm a little too broke to just fucking waste chicken.
What does the italian dressing bring to the table?
I'm the anon that posted the BBQ chicken recipe earlier. It also freezes pretty well.
>>13573553
Fuck you, and extra fuck your dad.
It is a lot of corn syrup, but it's delicious.
>>13575034
Generally, I just put a cup of water in and let it depressurize naturally (8fl oz) and it goes beautifully. That's the minimum amount of liquid instructed by mine's instructions.
Also- if you're really trying to go to flavortown, you can just use chicken stock instead.
Also, always s&p to season.

This is how you know someone does not have any culinary talent whatsoever.

Imagine being so boneheaded you think that an electric pressure cooker or slow cooker are unusable vessels for anything except American Midwest delicacies.

Make your own BBQ sauce, then.
I can't argue with the fact that it's $1.25 for an entire bottle, and works phenomenally in a pressure cooker.

it's best for making soup, minestrone is a favorite

also you can make yogurt with it although it's probably not worth the effort

I'm just saying the "slop"posters are retarded. Slow cookers and pressure cookers are great.

not him but it depends on the type of rice. my sticky rice is 1:1.25 but my sushi rice is 1:1.5. if I use 1.5 with sticky rice it gets all wet and gloppy and gross. I don't use basmati but I'd assume it'd be more.

no, there is an objectively right and wrong way to do it. different grain sizes of rice require different hydration - what will turn one rice into a repulsive slurry will leave another one half cooked and tooth-shatteringly hard. don't be a fucking nigger and just dump water and rice in a pot then, surprise suprise, when it turns out inedibly shitty say that's your preference; exercise a modicum of agency and learn the proportions. if you buy a giant 25lb bag you only need to look it up once and it'll be second nature after 3 times.

I googled Darth Vader Stew and I can't see what it makes it different from a normal stew. Is it named that just to get pop culture obsessed mongs into cooking?

I don't have an instant pot but if I did I would make ramen (and other complex stocks that need many hours of cooking normally) all day everyday.

Texas style chili comes out brilliantly. I add cinnamon in my spice blend to make it stand out, and a ton of garlic.

I can eat it as is with shredded cheese and raw onion on top, in a sandwich with ballpark mustard, or traditional Frito pie.

Makes a ton as well, so I always have leftovers for work/dinner throughout the week.

For meal prepping for a while I would basically pick a sauce then pressure cook chicken in it with a little stock, it works great with bbq, buffalo and teriyaki

I use their insta zest rice cooker. I don't know if it's better than a regular rice cooker I just hope it doesn't wear out like those pieces of shit. I just cook rice and steam tilapia above it. Would chicken work too or would it be undercooked or chewy?

Yeah, 20 mins on chili/beans function
