    Made this tonight. Used breast instead of thighs because that's what I had. Also ate it on some quinoa instead of tortillas.
    Holy shit is it good. I thought for sure that fish sauce was going to ruin it, because that stuff smells like swamp ass, but adding the cilantro balanced it out perfectly.
    Added to my arsenal.

    Got the 6 quart on Amazon for 58. Really excited. Have cooked with friends before and made pork chile verde that was incredible as well as a great bolognese.

    I forgot that one wasn't actually pressure cooker specific. I saute some of the Vegetabkea first, add the chicken in and like 1/3rd cup of broth, then pressure for 15 minutes, remove chicken, blend sauce

    For stuff like this, you remove chicken, blend sauce, shred chicken (it's going to be hot as fuck), add chicken back

    When I have to brown chicken thighs before cooking, it constantly is sticking to the bottom of the pot and I have to work to get it all off with a spatula. What is my dumb ass doing wrong?

    Shit always sticks to the bottom of my instant pot when I try to brown in it too. It's stainless steel...not very good for nonstick stuff. So I usually brown in cast iron, then transfer to pot.

    In general with stainless steel you need to heat the pan while it is dry. Then add your oil and let the oil heat up. It should be shimmering and not smoking, or the pan is too hot. Then you add the meat. If the temp of the pan and the oil are just right it won't stick. If it does stick at first just let it do its thing and brown. You can nudge it to check, and it will release from the pan when it's ready. Instant pot or a stainless frying pan would work the same way.

    Saving that for a weekend / kid visit.

    The recipe I'm planning is aimed right at the wife's wheelhouse. And since I occasionally also aim right at the wife's wheelhouse....

    It's so good. I add more jalapenos but it's crazy. I'm a pretty good cook with almost every tool available but that simple recipe always crushes it

    I struck out finding Cubanelle peppers so I threw in a yellow bell pepper I had on hand. Also had a leftover corn on the cob so I stripped the corn and threw that in too.

    I eat a shit ton of hot sauce, going to try to make my own. What would you estimate the weight of the peppers you used was. Can't really take a gallon ziplock bag to the store and start filling it up. Also, what kind of vinegar did you use?

    Just plain white vinegar.

    They were frozen so hard to say on the weight. I didn't really pay attention, but I would guess at least 1 pound. My plan was to just throw everything in there and test the heat level when it was done, then I adjusted everything to my taste (consistency, heat level, salt, etc). I removed the stems but kept all the seeds.

    I would start at 1 pound of peppers though if you're looking to be exact. That seems to be a typical starting point for most recipes. I'm sure there are some pressure cooker/IP recipes for hot sauce you can follow or base it from.

    Several ways to adjust consistency and heat level afterwards if needed. Reducing on the stove. Blending in more liquid or veggies/fruit/peppers as needed. Etc.

    I'm terrible at guessing how much that would be. I should have paid more attention but I just dumped them in.

    Ultimately you can't really fuck up the end product. When you open the IP and blend it the first time you might have something too hot or not hot enough, but you can fix that.
