    i usually just come up with a new blend each time

    pick whatever veggies you want in your risotto and saute them until they're sweated
    salt/pepper/garlic powder
    pour in 4cups chicken stock
    pour in 2 cups rice
    close lid and set timer for 6 minutes
    after it cooks add some butter, lemon zest, and shredded parm, some more salt&pepper to taste
    eat

    edit: i use low sodium chicken stock, and use little salt, but i'm not a big salt guy

    this one is super easy and I like it a lot with some hot peppers mixed in: creamy kale pasta

    put on sauté and add olive oil
    2 minced garlic cloves sauté until brown
    Add
    2 cups chopped kale
    1 big teaspoon paprika, sauté until wilted
    Add
    4 cups water
    Teaspoon of salt
    16 ounce whole grain spaghetti
    high pressure for 5 mins

    while that is cooking out in a blender
    1 cup cashews
    1 cup water
    2 cups chopped kale
    1 lemon juiced
    blend that all up

    quick release and then pour in the sauce you made and stir it all up together

    I am a terrible cook, but see some on sale on Amazon today. Thinking about getting this as a Christmas gift for my mom as she has been wanting one. What features are the most important? These things are pretty amazing, they can do so many different things I don't know where to begin with what features I should be looking for.

    This one looks pretty great, but I don't know if it's missing some great feature or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It doesn't have a pressure cooker setting, so you'd be keeping your instant pot. However, you'd get a toaster oven/air fryer/food dehydrator.

    We don’t have a ton of countertop and storage space, which is our main concern.

    My wife is gone a lot for work, so it’d be nice to have some smaller for cooking for myself. Our oven also sucks ass.

    After getting the Instant Pot last year and using the hell out of it, my wife and I decided to jump in on the air fryer craze as well. That thing is freaking great too. Do we even have an air fryer thread? I looked for one a few weeks back and didn't see any jump out at me.

    Ok so I read this entire thread over the weekend to get geared up for the Xmas break and different meals to cook in the IP. Tried the green chili chicken last night, and although tasty, it was super watery. Used some arrowroot to thicken it a little but it was still pretty runny. This normal? Seems to be the case with just about all IP meals.

    maybe adding too much liquid, or not letting the release go long enough?

    I wouldn't say I run into a watery problem with the Instapot.

    Agree, let it natural release or put it on saute and cook it down.

    didn’t add any liquid as the recipe didn’t call for it. I did let the natural release go for a good bit but didn’t go all the way because I was getting hungry. I’ll give it another go because it was tasty, and just try and be more patient with the natural release.

    Been putting this to good use over the last couple of weeks, trying to make as many freezer meals as possible for easy lunches and dinners.

    I think my favorite recipe right now is a frozen chicken burrito. Couldn’t be easier and make 15-20 burritos at a time

    7F092FBC-D683-4539-A73B-EA74C006A4B2.jpeg
    Also made in the last two weekends
    Turkey chili
    Potato soup
    Sausage and Navy bean soup
    Chicken noodle soup
    Italian sausage and tortellini soup

    our freezer is packed it’s fantastic. Going to make more burritos this afternoon and them a couple other recipes (not sure what yet) next weekend

    it’s linked there at the bottom. It was delicious. Probably my favorite of the soups that I made the last two weeks. I used about double spinach and tortellini than called for and I think both those worked
