So I was poking around my closest Asian supermarket and saw they have chicken feet for wicked cheap. Can you do chicken stock like, only out of chicken feet? Or do you want some other bits in there, too?

Or do you want some other bits in there, too? Generally you do want some meatier bits but I guess you could. My guess is it'd have little-no chicken flavor and lack a bit of richness, because there's no protein in the feet, but it'd be obcenely high in gelatin and probably still better than a lot of grocery store stock if you didn't skimp on the aromatics. Otherwise serious eats has an article about which parts to use. I do about 4:1 chicken backs and feet, but if I couldn't find backs I'd use thighs/wings on sale or start breaking down cheap chickens (freeze the breasts and maybe legs/thighs and stock the rest) poverty goat fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Feb 1, 2019 |

I just bought a bunch of chicken feet, I'll add them to chicken and turkey bones and scraps for stock. I've used beef feet in beef stock and you get a wonderful silky texture and powerful beef like flavor. I'm hoping chicken feet do the same.

Yeah I’d definitely throw in some chicken bones or a back with that. Toss the feet in the freezer until you’ve got a few more spare parts to work with.

Sweet, thanks for the tips! I haven't bought any feet yet, honestly I don't cook much meat since my partner's a vegetarian. I was just thinking about how to make some killer chicken dishes, since she's gonna start eating meat again a bit before we take a trip to Japan. Although this does remind me that I have a full bag of veggie scraps, gonna get my stock on this weekend

My partner is pescetarian, which has meant I basically can't cook any of the many, many delicious meat dishes that my pressure cooker is so great for. Does anyone have any good fish/veggie dishes so I don't feel like it's just taking up cupboard space for no reason?

I've done the infamous butter chicken recipe, just.. sans chicken. So you basically make the sauce in the IP, then I sauteed tofu separately. Was still fuckin delicious  The fish curry recipe that comes with the IP is actually pretty decent, I should see about giving that another shot. I've held off from it for awhile cause I made a batch of it, and let one sit a little too long in the fridge and it wrecked my stomach. drat you, food-associated-nausea

It's really good for beans and tough root veggies. Pressure cookers and vegetarian are popular in India, so if you google for one you like there should be a recipe for it. Fish is almost always too delicate and would be over cooked in a pressure cooker. But if you have some fish skeletons you can make fish stock.

It'll make short work of dry beans and grains and you can usually skip straight to the end without soaking if you're in a hurry. You can also supposedly make paneer in it with slightly better returns than on the stovetop.

Americans have this misguided idea that an entree without meat has to be lacking, but it's not true, unless you literally just delete the meat from a western dish that's supposed to have meat in it and use storebought veggie stock in place of meat stock, in which case yeah it'll probably taste like you forgot the meat. Look to cuisines that aren't supposed to have any meat in them. India has the highest concentration of vegetarians in the world, and they have a million ways to make misc lentils, chickpeas paneer and every other bean/legume unapologetically delicious (also they traditionally use pressure cookers for this, though I haven't gotten there yet and can't recommend any recipes). Paneer brings more to the table than chicken cubes and is all around a world class protein cube/sauce vehicle (unlike certain bean curds). Though if she's mostly just into sad imitation soy-meat Trastion is probably right.

Chana masala is a great place to start, and benefits from a pressure cooker in a big way (other dishes like gobi matar don't really, since the cook time is only 30 minutes anyway). Cook the chana with some tea in the water, it'll make them taste better, look better, and gives them a great texture that's creamy all the way through.

I'd like to try it this week, and have a stovetop pressure cooker instead of an instant pot, so it would be nice to get tips from someone who's tried it.

You don't need pressure for paneer, just generally accurate heating. In my experience making it, it's best to keep an eye on it while it curdles.

Yeah you don't need the pressure function for paneer at all. Just need the milk to be boiling and a little lemon juice.

The Instant Pot Authorized indian cookbook I got for christmas says you get more paneer out of it if you PC, but I'm skeptical. I was surprised they didn't just tell you to boil the milk in yogurt mode and do it the normal way

Kedgeree seems like it'd be a good fit for the Instant Pot, here is a random recipe I googled complete with mentions of Hubby because food blog: https://www.everynookandcranny.net/instant-pot-kedgeree/ I was thinking more the smoked fish kind but that doesn't appeal to everyone - this way you can do the rice, fish, and boiled eggs all at once.

other excellent indian food websites http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/ https://bhavnaskitchen.com/ http://showmethecurry.com/ https://www.vahrehvah.com/ (this one is almost like indian allrecipes, tons of content but not 100% reliable.

Has anyone used their Instant Pot to make pressure cooker Fried Chicken? I know a lot of fried chicken places use pressure cookers but wasn't sure if they are special ones or if you can just use the IP?

Pressure fryers are different than pressure cookers. You can't fry chicken in an instant pot. You can buy ancient home pressure fryers on ebay. They thrillingly combine the questionable safety of old stovetop pressure cookers with large quantities of superheated oil, plus decades of unknown use and upkeep with a bonus of nobody to sue for your upcoming interesting disfigurements. You should get one and tell us about it.

The instant pot lid has plastics and rubbers and stuff. It will probably melt or explode. You can try to just fry it in the IP using saute mode but it probably won't get hot enough.

Ok that's why i asked. Someone was talking about fried chicken and pressure frying it. I figured it wasn't that easy or I would be seeing a lot of people talking about it because who doesn't like a good fried chicken?

If someone ever builds a pressure fryer for home/consumer use, you can bet I will be right there for it. It's a shame that something as small as fear of grievous bodily harm keeps this deliciousness out of the kitchen.

There are table top pressure smoker machines that can do quick barbecue. But they are huge and take up all the space. Almost like bbq should be done outside.
