I'm a terrible cook which is why I'm buying one. Could someone recommend easy and good meat recipes?
 
Darn, I was hoping this was about the oz of dehydrated weed that turned in 1 lb when you added water. But when I saw it was not, I went to look it up-

Instant Pot is the latest 3rd Generation Programmable Pressure Cooker designed by Canadians

hmmm. Maybe some moose stew recipes to us in it
 
I use the instant pot as a sous vide to do steaks in.. a lot.
I just put the cut of meat in a vacuum sealed bag, usually with a pad of butter and some Trader Joe's coffee spice rub and throw it in the water using the keep warm function on the low setting.
1:45 or so in the water, take it out and sear both sides on a hot cast iron plate and you'll be in steak heaven.

don't go to pinterest. You'll be stuck there for days looking at photos of barely dressed women. You won't get anything done.

You are on here in a conversation about instant pots, and attracting talk from FRU frus here about Susie vee.....And you are worried about going to a chick site?

Maybe you should go to blue flamingo dot com.

Don't even think about looking at home improvement projects, or let the misses see them. You will be so busy. Ask me how I know this...
 
Cooked some Blick eyes in the IP . Man -o-man were they good. Done from dry in 40 min. Made a Mexican Cassarole in the IP last week. That was delicious. Layered corn chips, salsa, Taco spice, red beans, , cheese, Rotel tomatoes. MMMMMMMMM.....MMMMMM..... Good! Easiest way to make sweet potatoes known to me. With a two layer wire rack you can cook about 8 medium size potatoes in 30 min. And the best part is it will keep them warm for hours until you are ready to eat. Same thing with rice. Done in about the same time as the cook top- BUT, the rice always seems more moist and just taste better. The IP does not steam off all the flavor. Brown rice is really good in the IP. And again- It will keep it warm all day.

I don't eat meat but there are some really good receipts out there. For someone who does not cook much you need the extra rack that can be had for the IP. You could put ribs, sauce in the bottom of the pot. Put a SS bowl of rice with water on the rack above the ribs and you will have a complete meal in about 25 min. You can do the same with Gumbo on the bottom and Rice on the rack.
 
I'm confused... where do you light the fire??? You guys (girls??) are talking about cooking... and meat... and some fancy thing to boil water??? Good lord what has this world come to?

If you have a grill and a stove, you're all set. To up your steak game, use the oven or indirect grilling!
 
It arrives today and I'm cooking sweet potatoes tonight.
 
Alright. First trial run this morning. I figured why not make some potatoes. Online recipe said 7 mins. At 7 mins they were not done. In for another 7 minutes.

Were they whole or cubed?

I do whole sweet potatoes on the rack, High Manual pressure with natural release for 20 minutes if they are big sized then put in oven at 400 for 10min or until the skin crisps up

Whole and smaller in size. They only had regular potatoes at the grocery store due to the weather. I'll switch over to sweet potatoes this week.

I'd imagine that regular potatoes should be about the same time...
Alot of the online recipes, especially from the instant pot forums aren't anywhere close to right.....for time or water.... I've gotten pretty comfortable running with a 1/2 cup of water for somethings despite what they say, otherwise you get soup, especially if it puts off water.

Just FYI- Costco has that one for the same price. I found it on Amazon last week for $74.99 as well.
 
We’ll try those sites, we got one years ago, tried several recipes, then tried doubling the time, still not halfway cooked. We went back to cast iron pan, and the oven. It’s been collecting dust for years.
 
We have one, but I've never been impressed with it. The only way I've hit advertised cook times is by cutting the meat up pretty small, otherwise, it still takes several hours for a larger cut at which point I'd just use the slow cooker for a more tender piece anyways. I've never once used any of the other "features" for specific items, though I may have used the soup setting once. About the only things it does consistently well is rice (12 minutes) and stocks. My grandmother's beef soup recipe calls for bone broth that she always made in the old school stovetop pressure cooker, so I use this as I'm not a huge fan of leaving a bomb on my cooktop.
 
Jenny uses hers frequently. She doesn't really use it as a one pot meal machine, she uses it to turn cheap crap cuts of beef into something tender to put in other things. It makes fantastic shredded chicken for tacos. I've screwed around with it to boil eggs, steam artichokes, and bake potatoes. It's not indispensable, but you slow cook a crap roast for 8 hours to make it stupid tender, or do it in 90 minutes in the pot.
