I'm not talking about personal preferences but arbitrary rules like, "you just are adding sodium with none of the saltiness if you cook it into whatever." That isn't true. When you salt early it has more time to diffuse across cell membranes so that it enhances the flavor and is seasoned evenly. If you only salt at the end, the salt will lay on the surface or dissolve in any liquid causing uneven seasoning.

OK sheesh, some things I do prefer the salt cooked in more, like mashed potatoes or stuff like that. On most proteins I prefer a bit of sea salt right before I eat it and it gets a much more salty punch. MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE :argh:

Ignore my bit about sodium.

I love chicken sashimi and gently simmered canned goods. Screw those "rules" about 'food safety'. loving Big Recipe all up in my kitchen.

Has anyone tried the recipes on PressureLuck?

Yes - I've made his shrimp in lobster sauce at least a dozen times, did his corned beef and cabbage for St. Pat's, dijon dill chicken, and most recently sausage and shells.

Every one was fantastic. PressureLuck is my go-to.

Yeah I took the plunge and did the sausage/onions/peppers mix with the cheese sauce and had about 5 meals worth which was perfect. Tasted pretty good too!

I then put a chicken into the pot last week and somehow managed to gently caress that up, so this is the level of chef I am.

To be fair, it's a wet cooking method. It's not like toast, or porridge, or a pear.

That PressureLuck guy has really questionable taste buds. He never reduces the liquids and he usually adds a lot of it. He always thickens it with cornstarch slurry. He also uses copious amounts of beef stock cubes which are basically just expensive salt licks and he uses jarred garlic a lot.

My wife discovered that yogurt is super easy in the IP and has been making a bunch of delicious Greek style yogurt, flavored and plain. She made sour cream, which is closer to slightly sour Mexican crema, also delicious. But the best has been cottage cheese which is barely sour at all and blows away anything from the store.

If I could make my own cottage cheese and sour cream I would spend way less money. Do you think the processes would work with lactose free milk? Lactose free stuff at the store is like 3 bucks more expensive, but it beats taking a pill and still risking the misery.

I make fat-free skyr in the IP, using the yogurt function. The only difference is that I put in 3-4 drops of rennet (for a half gallon of milk) when I add the culture. I let it chill overnight, and strain it until it's super thick, almost like cream cheese.

She's asleep but tomorrow I'll ask what recipe she used. I'm sure she googled and used one of the top results, it required vinegar, not rennet.

Tonight I made corn bread with leftover whey from yogurt and it was delicious.

Chili was one of the first things I made and it made me a believer in the cult of the Instant Pot. Something about how the spices get bound to the fat.

My wife started giving away yogurt and now we have people bringing us gallons of milk to make more yogurt, lol. Never ceases to amaze me how motivated people are by food.

Tomorrow is stock day. I'll make veg stock followed by chicken stock. It'll last about 2 days.

I mean, I really didn't have a recipe but here's what I did.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb hot sausage
Brown that and throw in the instant pot

5 jalapenos. I like mine warm so I didn't seed them and one was a really big one. Cut off the stems though.
1 sweet onion
a big handful or two of baby carrots
4 tomatillos
Threw all that in my food processor and did a fairly rough chop. Throw that in the instant pot

2 cans great northerns
1 can kidney beans
1 small can tomato paste
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
Probably about 4 or 5 tbsp ancho chili powder? It's up to you how much I guess
about 2 tbsp cumin

Put it all in, stir and cooked it on chili for 20 minutes.

It needed more tomatoes so I added a 12 oz can of diced tomatoes and a small can of tomato sauce. Also realized it needed salt so I added that and some more chili powder. Not sure how much but probably another tbsp or 2?

Cooked it on chili for another 10 minutes.

It was really drat good. It would have been better with 1" chuck meat instead of ground beef but I was being cheap.

I would eat it. I make stews all the time from whatever is leftover or on sale I don't even think in terms of recipe. Tough meat I'll pressure cook first, then add the rest of the ingredients. But if you are interested in a really good chili recipe, here is one I've made a few times.

Personally I prefer to only make the beef stock in the IP and use an enameled dutch oven for the cook-down but you could do the whole thing in an IP.

I like everything I have tried from http://www.twosleevers.com so far. Bonus is she has a Keto section since I am doing that too but I used her site before I started Keto and everything has been good.

Otherwise its going to depend on what kind of food you like. Anything that you can do in a crockpot can be done in minutes. Same with things like Chili and stuff that you make on the stove all day.

I made a couple batches of chili recently and only used the IP to cook the meat I used and did everything else in a big pot while I chopped and seasoned each layer but I had time to do it and sometimes you just want to spend an hour preparing and cooking stuff.

Dadcooksdinner.com has reliable IP recipes. I've made many of them and they were all good.

Beware, a lot of pressure cooker recipes are converted crock pot recipes and have way too much liquid added. (Not on the site above)
