I bought a 6 quart InstaPot on sale. I’ve wanted one for a while but it seemed silly since I already have a rice cooker and a slow cooker.

The first thing I want to make is idli batter using the yogurt setting. I’ve been using instant mix and want to try using idli rava and urad dal. It sounds like a lot of work but less than starting with idli rice.

What’s the second thing I should make?

I didn't want to believe it but instapot risotto comes out really well and takes like a tenth of the usual effort.

It’s chili! Specifically, this recipe is an instapot recipe with no beans, because I’m really picky about what I tolerate beans in.

Musing a bit about subscription values this afternoon, brought on by enjoying my #InstantPot #InstaPot even though I'm a very challenged cook -- because there is a wealth of good cookbooks available. No subscription required.
Our #Thermomix #TM6 on the other hand, has ZERO cookbooks available (some iffy fan-made ones on the secondary market but I dunno about them) and costs $55/annually for #Cookidoo in order to access recipes. Customer service is ... lacking.
Some good subs include...

There has to be a name for the emotion for when you try a new InstaPot recipe (Red Curry / Tofu in this case) and it promises

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 6 minutes

Dear Reader, It's been a lot longer than 11 minutes! #cooking #instapot

First #InstaPot meal.

Followed instructions, primed my #InstaPot, and was impressed its release of steam. Brown rice, broccoli florets, red cabbage, garlic, some fusili pasta, a splash of non-alcoholic Guinness (there is such a thing), and pork heart soon followed.

I read in the WSJ yesterday that #InstaPot is bankrupt, ironically because its signature product is too durable. And lo! My mother bought me one on sale. (She wants me to eat better.)

Excited squeals from @Rachey announce the arrival the #Instapot into our kitchen and into our lives.

A product so good Capitalism had to kill it!

If you're wondering why we seemingly can't solve our larger societal problems, it's obvious!

There's 1/2 cabbage & baby russets with the skins on. Enough to cover the bottom of my #instapot clone. Peeled the carrots and beets; they were pretty dirty.

Added two locally made pork sausages. I slit them open and piled cabbage on top. I dumped in some pickled radishes and onion.

I wouldn't be shy of serving the #pressurepoached result to a professional chef.

Is this #Borchst?

The broth was amazing but too salty to serve. I am gonna promote this #mistake to #technique.

Nooo! #impossible! #Instapot is bankrupt? But I just got mine like a month ago and I love it!

I resisted the InstaPot craze for too long and now its growing on me. I make a lot of soups / stews / chillies and being able to set it and walk away and not spend 2+ hours stirring beans so they don't burn on the bottom is pretty dang nice. The "sauté" function for onions / garlic / celery / carrots etc is pretty nice as well. One less pan to clean and gets you the 'Je ne sais quoi' of sautéed veggies in the soup. #cooking #instapot
