It would be a lot easier to just use jismine rice instead of basmati

Makin a pot roast in an instant pot. I browned the meat and then deglazed the pan with some beef broth but I don't have a very good tool for scraping so I only got most of the bottom clean. No big chunks of stuck on poo poo but if I poured the broth out I wouldn't call it clean. Do I have to worry about whatever is still stuck on a bit burning to charcoal when I actually start cooking the pot roast?

No. Because you’re adding liquid to the pot, it’s certain to dissolve in the cooking.

Something like this should be part of every kitchen kit.

Wooden spoons/turners/spatulas are pretty much indispensable for scraping on pots/pans of any material that you don't want to gently caress up.

I'm not sure where on that long stretch you are, but there are a couple of decent spice/chilli shops in Brighton if you ever find yourself near there. Looks like you can order online from at least one of them too if you need an extra option other than Amazon.

Another Brisket option that looks easy and would work for lunches is brisket, potatoes and onions and I always trust River Cottage for good ideas.

I like both of these links, thanks! I'm not particularly close to Brighton but I'll give the online store a look and see how the prices compare to amazon.
Completely agree about River Cottage, I find Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall quite irritating but he does know food.

Thanks for the other replies too. Will judge based on the weather whether or not to fire up the smoker or oven...

Dried garlic and nothing else. Should be roughly sugar sized granules or slightly bigger

Garlic powder can be subbed I think, I'd roughly guess 1 volume of garlic powder = 2 volumes of granulated garlic

Granulated garlic is garlic that has been granulated, into granules. :v:

So no, it's not garlic salt, or garlic powder, or anything else. Granulated garlic is a thing in and of itself.

It can, but the flavor is sharper and more one-dimensional. Since they're both dried, the difference isn't tremendous. I wouldn't double the volume of garlic powder though, maybe x1.5.

A few times it's been mentioned that an easier way to make rice is just boil it and pour off the water. I decided to try it, following a video that may have been posted here, or maybe YT recommended it. Washed the rice and soaked for 15 minutes. Boiled for 10 minutes, Drained and put in a serving bowl. It was saturated when first drained but after a few minutes it dried a bit and had a nice texture. The grains were larger than my usual way. I will probably switch to this way for awhile and see how it goes.
How necessary is the soaking?

Mustard/Collard/Turnip greens are amazing mixed into beans and rice. I recommend doing the greens up soul-food style - sauteed with some onions and garlic until the onions go transparent and the greens are wilty, then simmer them in a vegetable stock with crushed red pepper and hot sauce to taste. Mix that in with the beans and rice and get a dose of vitamins and minerals with the carbs and protein.

After thinking about it some more, I'd also suggest you just make some vegetable stock and can/freeze it for future use if you're going to be doing lots of beans/rice and a vegetarian diet. Vegetable stock literally is transformative when used as a liquid for making beans/rice. It's also best to make your own to control the amount of salt in it. If you keep the salt down, then you can use a 50/50 veg. stock to water ratio when you're cooking beans and not have them get tough on you, and infuse them with amazing flavor during the simmering.

Thanks for the rice/lentils advice. Now, how to spice up (pun intended) chicken pot pie?

I grew up on chicken pot pie and love the basic recipe: A roux of butter and flour to thicken chicken stock, plus chicken, carrots, celery and onion, all baked in a pie shell.

My wife, who didn't grow up on it, thinks chicken pot pie is bland and watered down. She's only had store-bought frozen pot pies. I want to make chicken pot pie for her, and I'd like to break from the traditional recipe.

My current plan is just to mix curry powder with the chicken. She likes curried chicken salad, so she might like curried chicken pot pie. What other spices would work with a creamy chicken sauce? Rosemary? Thyme? A little more exotic, like coriander or sumac?

Maybe some cheese added to the sauce? Or bacon (we make our own bacon)? I'm brainstorming here.

You don't need a whisk. If you've got a wooden spoon or a wooden spatula (or even a silicon spatula), then you're good. Just keep it moving.

If you went with coriander and curry spices, you could almost make a pot pie that was sort of like a big samosa, and that would be delicious.

pan fry the carrots celery and onion to get a bunch of color on them before baking, same with any chicken you'll be using. throw the spices in with this stuff deglaze with a little white wine and butter.

For spices equal parts
Rosemary, Thyme, Chili Powder, black pepper. Top with a sharp cheddar

I was gonna suggest the same. The only reason chicken pot pie is bland is if it's underseasoned. Getting some good flavor in the stock and adding some classic herbs and spices should remedy that.

I'd say adding mushrooms may be good, they can add a nice savory flavor in. And make sure it's all properly salted too! If she thinks the homemade version is bland compared to a pre-packaged one that may be code for salt; the commercial versions will almost always be heavily seasoned. Don't over-do it, just make sure it's sufficient. A lot of stuff will taste not very good until you get the right salt content then it's great (like refried beans).
