When we did it, it was unpleasant. Not bad, just not as good and definitely less good than the original. We've had success using a jar of salsa instead of the tomatoes however.

No bueno, IMO. Try a couple of pasilla/bigger bell style peppers and two cloves of crushed garlic. We have different taste buds/palates, but I’d rather put some of the components of a salsa sans sugar and tomato in the stew instead of a can of salsa

McStephenson posted:I.... uh... Canned salsa? What? No. Dear god no. Just, what? http://imgur.com/a/AAgPsOQ I mean it's mostly the same ingredients anyway. Tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt. I just added some whole cloves of fresh garlic and felt it wasn't an improvement. Sometimes pressure cooking fresh garlic does weird flavors imho.

You don't serve anything in the bowl that you can't/wouldn't eat. 1) That’s a bay leaf, not a basil leaf. 2) Removing the bay leaf or not is a cultural thing, some places it’s left in and getting it in your bowl is considered a sign of good luck.

I made instant pot corned beef, cabbage and potatoes and holy poo poo it was great. Using beef broth instead of water as the liquid turned the cabbage from good to amazing.

I like the idea or corned beef but I don't think I've ever had it. Maybe as lunch meat? Do you have a recipe?

I didn't want to write it up so googling came up with drat near the same thing I did. https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/instant-pot-corned-beef-and-cabbage/ I used 4 cups of beef broth but I don't think it matters that much. It calls for pre-packaged corned beef brisket. I've never made one from scratch.

It's pretty easy and highly recommended if you Costco - they have USDA Prime briskets for $3.something / lb . I usually quarter it, use the flat pieces for corned beef, and smoke the the flat/point. https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/beef-and-bison-recipes/home-made-corned-beef-recipe

I did this last year- bought a whole brisket, made the flat into corned beef for st patrick's day, and smauxed the point. The corned beef was good but nowhere near the kind of breakthrough you might expect for all the effort, so I just bought one at the store this year and cooked it on the stovetop for 3 hours as usual, but goddamn the point was some of the best brisket I've ever eaten and I should do it again sometime None of this involves a PC, though, sadly

Made this: https://cafedelites.com/beef-bourguignon/ Was good. Needed to get my browning game on better, took a long time to do 3 lbs of beef in chunks. Gravy wasn't thick enough, so I made a quick roux with butter + flour and added it, did wonders and thickened up quickly to a good consistency. Flavors are good, bacon is probably overkill but hey whatever it's bacon so keep it. Mushrooms really help with substance, I liked the idea of cooking them in butter+garlic and adding during the reduction at the end rather than letting them get terribly mushy in the pressure cook. I think I used the wrong wine (pinot noir instead of burgundy/chianti/merlot/whatever else) but still tastes pretty good. My second IP cook, my buddy from work lent me his and told me to experiment and tell him "all the good poo poo".

I tried to cook a pound of chickpeas per some recipe and they turned into complete unusable mush, mostly just bits of chickpeas but the intact ones had no texture left either. I soaked overnight, pressure cooked for 10 minutes (some recipes recommend 20), and let them cool for 15 minutes before I popped the seal. The seal definitely wasn't ready to be popped, and boiled up and sprayed out of the tap. Did the flash boiling at the end just blast them apart, or did I gently caress up some other way?

I pressure cooked a pound of dried chickpeas about 3 weeks ago, overnight soak, 20 min under pressure, 15 min release, and they were perfect. Maybe you had bad beans?

Do you have a stovetop cooker, or an electric one? I'm assuming the former. In my presto with chickpeas I usually aim for ~8.5 minutes and natural release (their table says 7-10). Were they split chickpeas or whole? If even the whole ones had no texture they were probably over-cooked, I wouldn't imagine even a more gentle release helping it. Oh, and after the cooking time did you remove the cooker from the heat? It should be taken off the burner and placed on a cool one to get the cooking right.

They were definitely whole chickpeas, but store brand from food lion. Is it possible they were parcooked or something? Is that a thing? I know that fast pressure release can cause weirdness- theres a split pea soup recipe somewhere that actually prescribes quick-release right away after cooking to effectively puree them.

Does anyone have any good recipes that use ground beef? I’ve been using a lot of chicken breast and I’m kinda over it and want to switch to ground beef if that’s even possible? The lower calorie the better.

It must just be that then, I've never released the pressure early on my pressure cooker so I may be wrong. The cooking chart on the instant pot site indicates 10-15 minutes for soaked chickpeas so if you had some fresh, smaller chickpeas then they may have just been nice and soft at the 10 minute mark.

Made a beef stew, 1 lb browned chuck chunked, one medium butternut squash diced, 1 leek, a pile of chopped shiitake, 1 chopped large onion, sliced large carrot, sliced rib of celery, a quarter size piece of fermented hot pepper mash, bay leaf, salt, pepper, 1 can of crushed tomatoes, 1 TB soy sauce. No additional moisture. Hit the stew button and about 40 minutes later delicious, thick, beef stew. I added about 1/2 cup of homemade concentrated beef stock to cool it down and boost the beefy flavor. I really like the squash in the stew.

Does anyone have any opinions on this line of IP bakeware? I've got a mini and most of what I've found are for the 6 and 8 quart models. Side question: are there any Instant Pot Mini cookbooks worth a drat? Going by the reviews it seems like most of them are lazy cash-ins. I know there's tons of recipes online but I like having a book I can keep in the kitchen.

Couldn't tell you; I'm still new at this and there's tons of baking recipes online for ips so I figured there was some advantage.

Never done it but imagine it would be similar to using a steam oven and benefit of not having to turn an oven on and heat up the kitchen as much etc.

It's basically no effort to make sure your cheesecake won't crack, if you care about cracked cheesecake. Also uses much less energy.
