    So I made some, its spicy but I have the problem with it that I always run into when I try to make my own sauce....its just bland and I don't know how to fix that. I know I could put more vinegar in but that just makes it taste more vinegary and doesn't really change the flavor in any meaningful way.

    Did you add enough salt? You can also blend in things with more flavor to your liking. Garlic, herbs, etc. Roasted garlic could add some depth and I'll probably do that next time.

    Probably not. I might take it out of the bottles and put it in a mixing bowl and just start adding shit and blend it up. Maybe lime juice?

    Yes. Lime juice and/or zest would be a good add.

    Garam masala is one of my go-tos. Fantastic spice combo.

    Glancing at other pork recipes I guess that’s how long pork takes. Guess that makes sense.

    Pork was fantastic. After 75 mins of pressure the roast was just melting apart.

    I've got some thighs thawing out right now and I think I'm gonna use half for that and half on the smoker. It's so good

    I had a small amount of the chili left over...not enough for a dinner. Used it as a pasta sauce and it was really good.

    Didn’t have access to a blender, our chicken verde ended up pretty soupy. Was really good tho. Used 1.5 extra pounds of chicken, could be a reason why as well.

    An immersion blender is an inexpensive and useful addition to your arsenal.

    I've made that, think you could probably cook the salmon for a minute less than the 3 minutes they suggest

    Probably. Ours was very moist though and didnt have the usual salmon fishy taste.

    Anyone else been removing the skin on chicken legs and thighs before searing/locking the lid? It comes out chewy and just gets in the way, anyways. This way my seasoning actually goes onto the chicken to create the fond.

    Could use a torch on 'em afterwards to crisp the skin up.

    Last week, when I was determined to make it, the grocery store I stopped by on the way home was out of poblanos. Went ahead and made it with green bell peppers and lots of jalapenos. Wasn't as good as the original, but still mighty tasty.

    Yes, I swear the recipe page didn't used to look like that. I went to look for it because I've been making it for a while and I wasn't sure it was the right page until I went through and read the actual recipe.

    Making a chili out of an instant pot cookbook. Doesn’t use pressure cooking. Also says to use cocoa powder, we did without that.

    If you like lots of Indian spice the butter chicken I quoted just a few posts up was fantastic. My son told me it even made his farts smell good.
