    Use it for this, grits, and quinoa. Need to try oatmeal.

    If I don't need more than 2 cups of them I always do the pot in a pot method. I have a stainless steel bowl that fits in it nicely and can do 2 cups. Just take the whole thing out after and serve right from the bowl.

    Don't overlook this recipe in this thread. Makes a ton of food and is really easy

    I made Barbacoa in my Instant Pot last night for tacos. Twas tasty:

    3-4 lb beef bottom round roast or chuck roast cut into 3 inch chunks
    2 tbsp coconut oil (or canola, or grapeseed)
    1 large onion quartered
    5 garlic cloves
    1 tbsp chipotle powder (I used 2 whole chipotles in adobo)
    1 tbsp cumin
    1 tbsp dried oregano
    1 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp sea salt
    1/2 tsp ground black pepper
    1 cup beef broth or bone broth
    1/4 cup apple cider vinegar raw and unfiltered
    1/4 cup lime juice
    Fresh cilantro for garnish
    1. Set Instant Pot to Sauté setting and heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil for a few minutes.
    2. Add beef to the Instant Pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
    3. Leave the beef in the Instant Pot and turn it off.
    4. Combine the rest of the ingredients, except cilantro, in a blender and blend until smooth.
    5. Pour the sauce over the meat, close the lid, and cook for 60 minutes on high pressure.
    6. Release the pressure and open the lid. Take out the meat, shred it with 2 forks, and return it back into the Instant Pot.
    7. Stir, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve as taco meat, in a burrito bowl, etc.

    Got one for Christmas, made a fantastic orange chicken. I'm making this tomorrow, got a group coming over for the playoffs. My question is, I have 5 pounds of shrimp (instead of 1 pound). How would you alter the recipe? I'm thinking maybe 3x the amount of ingredients and just let it have extra shrimp? Can't imagine 5 pounds of pasta. Should I alter the cooking times at all? I'm pretty proficient in the kitchen, but quite the novice with the Instant Pot.

    but as someone who had authentic indian food like 10 years ago, i'm negative on the spice scale

    A good bit of discussion on that a page or so back. "How spicy is it" is kind of subjective. But in general, not very. Most of the peppers in the recipe are quite mild. You could dial back or de-seed the jalapenos to further neuter it.

    Made this over the weekend.

    Taste is fantastic, but it was a little soupy for tacos. Next time I'll at least leave out the added water.

    I'd add some more liquid, then go ahead and cook the rice along with everything else. (instead of cooking the rice separately) Then you just shred the chicken and add the cheese/corn.

    Tried the black bean soup posted in here, which was pretty damn awesome. Got the IP for Christmas from my mom, so going through and trying some stuff. Going to try the green chicken chili recipe posted previously. Hardboiled eggs were so much easier to peel using the IP than what I normally do. Made black eyed peas and spicy sausage for NYD, which was amazing too.

    Really liking this thing so far.

    Got one of these for Xmas, very excited about really getting into it. Did some chicken last night that was pretty good.

    What are these things best at producing? Any accessories I should purchase?

    I got the 7 in 1

    Was watching a video last night and they had a separate bowl that fit inside so one could do rice in the bowl and chicken in a sauce under it at the same time. Wasn’t sure if there might be anything else like that or extra racks that could be handy for some preparations.

    I actually bought a bowl but its not an instant pot accessory that i used when I made some Indian dish that allowed me to cook beans at the same time as everything else. It was just like a ceramic bowl.

    Pretty sure you can use any metal bowl that fits in your pot. I've never tried it though

    Probably. With the can of soup it got too thick and just constantly burned to the bottom. Eventually gave up and cooked the rice in a pot on the stove, and the chicken in the cooker. Turned out great in the end but it was frustrating

    90% of the recipes use some combo of turmeric, cumin, paprika. So once you buy those the rest is easy.

    This.

    The initial buy is a little pricey but 1) you can use them for tons of recipes or 2) just repeat that same recipe to get your money's worth

    When you guys make that green chicken chili, do you put any water in there? Seems like it shouldn’t have no liquid in there to cook with, right?
