What would the insta pot equivalent be? usually smaller bones will be breaking down by an hour of pressure cooking, probably plenty of time (it will of course boil like crazy that whole time but it's for a dog not like a fancy stock you're trying to keep clear)

An hour or two at pressure will make great stock However, you should let it depressurize naturally instead of using the vent, it will make skimming the fat easier

Maybe? But at least you can choose how much you want to skim

Sounds good. This batch wasn’t expensive at all so if it’s not right it’s not a huge loss.

I always cooked beef/lamb/pork bones for 2 hours on high pressure. Add around 2.2 litres / 10 cups of water. If you want it more gelatinous, add pig trotters or chicken feet. Always let the Instant Pot naturally depressurise (takes about 30 minutes), else you risk spurting hot broth through the vent as you release pressure. Strain the broth, cool it in a sink of cold water, and then put it in the fridge. The fat will settle to the top and you can scrape it off easily if you don't want to keep it. Bones stand up to multiple runs through the Instant Pot - so I would always use the same bones for a second batch and maximise your use out of them. Add a couple of fresh bones if you like (or fresh trotters/chicken feet). I tend to only make chicken broth these days, and I deliberately add some chicken meat to it (so it's not a pure bone broth) - 2 hours makes for a really rich result, but 1 hour is perfectly adequate for chicken. As I make broths for my consumption, I always add a fair amount of salt - you probably don't want to do this for a pet though. If you decide to consume any yourself, I'd recommend adding salt to taste on reheating it.

I didn’t think that the bones would make another batch but that’s a good tip! I might try another batch today after this one is done

Last year I bought 20 pounds of beef bones and made/pressure canned a ton of beef stock. I got 6 batches out of the bones before giving up...I just used fresh veggies and a new can of tomato paste with each batch, roasting them first in some of the beef fat. There's a noticeable difference in quality from batch to batch, but even batch 6 is better than most storebought stock.. So batch 6 is used in place of water for beef stew, batch 1 is for things like prime rib au jus, and the other batches are for anything in between. I've also started using a gravy separator to defat my stock. It's much faster than cooling it down and waiting, especially if you're gonna can it. Then make sure you cook the water out of the fat, strain it, and save it for cooking too...waste not, want not.

Then make sure you cook the water out of the fat, strain it, and save it for cooking too...waste not, want not. This made a world of difference for me for chicken stock - went from skimming it when cold to having absolutely nothing to skim off. OXO make an excellent fat separator jug which has its own anus. Rather than relying on a spout with an opening at the bottom, this thing allows you to squeeze the handle which unclenches the anus and the fat-free liquid is excreted into your vessel of choice. It cost about twice as much as the one with the spout but it was a worthwhile investment.

I have a non-Oxo anus-style separator and I found that after a few years, nasty scunge was accumulating around the sphincter, and I couldn't see a way of cleaning it without pulling the sphincter away from the measuring cup, which felt like a great way to make it leak. Does the Oxo somehow resist that problem?

I gently pull up the sphincter and sphincter arm and run a pipe cleaner in and around the anus which has worked well and I haven't noticed any leaks thus far.

Thread is delivering the goods, thank you! I made the serious eats pressure cooker pea soup on the weekend and it was fantastic. Just perfect for a cool fall weekend with some nice crusty sourdough. https://www.seriouseats.com/30-minute-pressure-cooker-split-pea-soup-recipe

I have the crazy enormous ninja pressure cooker/air fryer and the big insta pot with the handles and the answer is insta pot. Ninja has more bells and whistles like the free heart attack inducing quick release option but the stainless steel bowl and handles just win out.

Does anyone have the air fryer lid for the Instant Pot? I haven't joined the air fryer bandwagon yet, and I have some doubts about the lid. The instant pot is a mediocre slow cooker, and I feel like the same would go for trying to also serve as an air fryer. Plus, the lid looks like it's so big, I imagine I wouldn't be saving much storage space versus just getting a dedicated air fryer

The lid can stack with the instant pot itself.

If you have the room, skip the air fryer lid and get a real air fryer.

Definitely hear out opinions on it. For me, the only mode I use on mine is manual pressure so the 6 in 1 and 8 in 1 stuff means nothing to me. Just get the size that works for you. I have the 6 liter but if you have a family to cook for the 8 liter may be preferable. I also have a separate air fryer, which based on feedback in this thread is the way to go.

the 6qt duo is fine; you may want an 8qt if you make big batches of stock or feed a lot of people, though you can make butter chicken for a crowd in the 6qt. imo the main reason to get the upgrade models is for the dial to set cook times, the extra modes aren’t worth paying extra for unless there’s a specific feature you know you want.

I have the 8qt, which mostly works for what I need, but the idea of doing preset oatmeal would be great, but THAT would be for 2 servings, which it's too big for. We often have 5-6 over for dinner, so stews, soups, and just a crap load of rice happens.

Turns out that various "Instant Pot in Israel" sites are there specifically to let you know you can't actually buy one within Israel and have to buy on amazon + pay import fees. Cool. So out of Sauter, Ninja, Hamilton Beach, and Crockpot, which is the best option? Not Ninja, apparently?

I got a heavy discount on one of those ninja air fryer/pressure cooker/dehydrator/sous vide/blowjob things. Looking forward to making some amazing short ribs and possibly blowing up grandma. Did pea and ham soup and yam fries already and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get my money's worth on soup, chilli and fries before the end of February at this rate. Also gonna get fat.

One thing our ninja bells and whistles has been used for this winter is every day at 11am I’ve been putting on a big pot of random vegetables for 20 low and then adding vegetarian gravy to thicken it up, and then the (adult) kids have been materialising and helping themselves till it’s gone. One is vegetarian one isn’t, so they can cook a separate thing to go with it if they like, but mostly they just eat it as is. Ninja needs much less liquid to get to pressure than an instant pot btw.

I'm gonna do a bunch of ribs this week. Dry rub, pressure cook for half hr or so, baste and roast at around 370. Can the ribs just just be rolled up and stuffed into the cooker for the pressure cook or does there need to be some airflow around them? Seems pretty obvious but I've said that before so...
