Look my household got an instant pot recently and we have no idea what the fuck to do with it. Send help
Instantpot -
- Thread starter verygayFrogs
- Start date
basically this
but yeah I ended up with one, it's kinda neat
basically it's a pressure cooker with some bells and whistles
I've found it's good for chili and rougher cuts of meat like pork shoulder, beef chuck roast, stuff like that.
I've gotten some very good results out of it, seems that things you would normally slowly cook for a while are where you want to go with it.
so far googling "[thing you want to make] instapot" has worked fine for me
also when you vent your pressure put a cardboard tube from paper towel on the nozzle to keep it from splattering too much

Read the instruction manual and then the recipe booklet.
- Pressure cook some water in there just to see how it operates. It tells you to do that in the manual anyway.
- Try pressure cooking pasta. Page 26 in the recipe booklet. Not spaghetti, that will burn. You don't need to do the oil infusion step, and you get set it and forget it cooked pasta.
- Try making pressure cooked pulled chicken, beef, or pork. For example, a frozen chicken breast and water for about 20 minutes.
- Try cooking dried black beans.
- Try making yogurt. The steps are in the instruction manual.
- You can make a quick soup or curry by pressure cooking ingredients in water or broth. If you pressure cook chicken or something, that will turn water into broth.
- If you Saute, you need to watch it and stir because it can get hot fast.
- You can boil (not pressure cook) with the lid on by keeping the steam release handle in the Venting position. I just found this out last week so I haven't tried it yet.
- If you can't secure the lid, the silicone ring probably popped out so check that first.
- You can get a burn warning if you try to pressure cook without enough water. The minimum amount depends on the Instant Pot size. You can usually salvage it if you cancel and release pressure immediately.
- Don't be afraid of the steam, it's not as hot as it looks.
- Google the recipe you want, add "instant pot" to the search terms. There will almost always be an Instant Pot specific recipe.
- Once you get comfortable with a recipe, you can adjust the times. Try adding another minute or two of pressure cooking time, and releasing the pressure immediately instead of waiting 10-25 minutes - the "natural release".
- Steam vinegar to make it easier to clean and get rid of smells.

I like to do pulled pork in it, its incredibly easy and nearly impossible to mess up. All you need is Pork Shoulder with or without the bone, standard assortment of spices, a bottle or two of Dr.Pepper depending on how much pork (1 bottle to 1.5-2lbs of pork), and same for a BBQ sauce of your choice. There are two ways I generally go about it, one is extremely lazy and the other involves a tiny bit of effort. Only difference between the bone status for me is cook time pressure cooking, cut off whatever chunks you can just try and keep the part with the bone in the liquid I guess.
Lazy Way: Pour Dr.Pepper into pot. Cut pork into chunks and coat with a dry rub made from your choice of spices (mine is onion powder, garlic, cayenne, chili powder, pepper, paprika) and put it in the pot. COOKING. After cooking separate the pork from your liquid and shred. Pour in bbq sauce and mix liquid from the pot in (separate it from the fat). Serve with whatever. Keep some of the liquid for when you recook for later meals.
Small Effort: Dr. Pepper in pot. Pork into chunks and dry rub coat while keeping a small portion of the rub mix. Sear the pork so the rub stays on and add pork to pot. Add molasses and your choice of liquor to the pot. COOKING. Near the end of the cooking process boil a small amount of water and add beef bouillon and the remainder of your spice rub (I like it to be thick). After cooking separate shred and add the bouillon spice mix, bbq sauce, and liquid from the pot.
For boneless I do 1 hour pressure cooking on high, with 30 minutes to depressurize. 8-12 hours normal or high for slow cook.
For bone in I do 1.5 Hours pressure cooking, 30 depressurize. No difference for slow cook. The bone will have nothing on it after cooking.

I put an entire pork loin and some bbq sauce in mine in mine and it became amazing pulled pork.
from my experiences that would result in amazingly tender slow roasted tasting pulled nails
also if you have cats and you're worried about spooking them very slowly open the vent nozzle, otherwise the PSHHHHWWWWHWHHHSHSHHHHH will make them freak out
Great to quick cook lentil/beans from dried.
Quick cook meat from frozen
Make broth super easy (I do this generally 3 days a week)
Make yogurt
Sanitize stuff
Quickly germinate seeds with high success rates

Alternately, it's possible to double down and get an air-fryer attachment for an instant pot.

It was a gift
I admit the hype has made me kind of want one, but... I already have a pressure cooker. Isn't it just an electric pressure cooker?
Gift them their gift and buy an air fryer.

Where the fuck do I get one of those
Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast | Simply Happy Foodie
Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast with ranch, pepperoncinis, & other seasonings, and a chuck roast. This is an amazing pot roast! Great in sandwiches, too.

The last two aren't surprising, but I was impressed that it could actually make decent fudge.
Amazon, get a Dash Air Fryer if you want cute color options.

Generally the "dumb shit that takes up space on your counter" aisle at Targets and so on.
Instant pot is asian garbage used by single people with cats.
as far as I know, basically yes
it's got a timer and some other crap built-in, but from what I gather it's just easymode pressure cooker
I guess it's like an air fryer. An air fryer is "just" a convection oven. But I don't own a proper convection oven, so the air fryer really has something to offer me. I do own a pressure cooker, though.
I wasn't convinced, but now I'm thinking of getting one.
