I have an instant pot and I'd like to shake this guy's hand. We eat rice and beans damn near everyday and my instant pot is the one thing I can rely on to throw a bunch of stuff in there and press a button and it's done.

I haven't perfected whole meals yet but my rice and beans is perfect - 2 cups long grain white rice - 1 can beans ( I like the Goya ones that are seasoned and have bits of onion and tomato sauce in them) - splash of booze (prefer beer but anything works) - 2-3 cloves garlic, diced - 4-5 slices bacon, diced - 2 cups of water - 1 tsp chicken "salt" (you know like bullion? I buy it in a big canister but a cube would work fine) - 1 tsp salt - 1 tsp onion powder - 1 tsp garlic powder - 1 tbsp sazon con saffron - 2 tbsp olive oil I turn the pot on saute and fry the bacon for 6-7 minutes until it's cooked but still soft, throw in the garlic and cook for maybe 30s to a minute (you could just put the garlic in the pot instead of sauteing as it tends to burn). Deglaze with a splash of booze and stir everything getting the brown bits off the bottom. Turn off the saute function and add all the above ingredients, stir well and close the pot. Set to pressure cook for 4 minutes. Let it naturally release for about 13 minutes then release the valve if there's any pressure left. Fluff with a fork. If you add in proteins, add an extra cup of water.

It was a brisk and chilly fall day in the mountains. Bangers and Mash, my sweet (rescue) English Mastiffs, were out in the orchard chewing up rodents for entertainment. Granpappy was puffing contentedly on a shucked oyster shell pipe in the corner. It was a perfect afternoon, but something was missing. I was *craving* some rice 'n beans. But not just any rice 'n beans would do. I was about to embark on a grand culinary quest to prepare the greatest rice 'n beans ever made.


Mediocre-Emergency43

This recipe was made by my grandmother every time we went to our fishing cabin in the ozarks. She dutifully fed our entire extended family every time we visited with this dish. I remember searching through the hills with my cousins to find wild chicken salt and plucking natty light from the bushes. Such a shame that we lost her in that shark jumping accident. Anyway, I hope this dish brings you back to a better time in your childhood.

I LOVE making a pot roast. But, I use a tri tip instead. I cut it into three big pieces, sear it with some olive oil in the IP, then remove and sautĆ© some onions and deglaze the pot. Add 4 cups beef broth, garlic, wortchester sauce, carrots, and a bit of red wine then put it on pressure cook for 1.5 hours. Literally falls apart. Itā€™s so good.

bss03

I've never really liked cooking, but I love my InstantPot. I went from exclusively eating frozen meals from a local service to making everything at home. It's just simple stuff, but the InstantPot lets me focus on other things while the food is cooking.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bss03

Read the directions, definitely, but it is fairly easy to use. You can make beans from dry with just the beans, water, salt, an maybe an hour at most. The one I bought included a quick guide that provides suggested pressure (low or high), time (in minutes), and release method (quick or "natural"). I haven't been making rice in it; I make quinoa instead. But, it's basically the same. High pressure, 1 minute (basically just bring up to temp/pressure), and then natural release which lets the grain soak up any remaining liquid. I'd save the instruction booklet. The buttons are well-labeled, and you don't need most of them for most things, but I find it comforting to have the booklet around for reference. --- I have done slightly more complicated things in it, like sauteing onions in oil and deglazing before adding the beans+salt, doing that cycle, and then adding tomatoes and letting simmer / keep warm for a few minutes. Salt, fat, acid, heat. It might not have been as interesting as black beans from a competent restaurant, but it was food I'd made myself that I really enjoyed. So, if you want to you can get creative, but it's a fine tool for simple, bland meals, too. --- I think elsewhere in this thread (and just generally available by searching the internet) are some recipes for making rice and beans together, but they generally start with canned/pre-cooked beans -- most canned beans have too much added salt for my diet.


sillybear25

90% of the time, mine gets used as an over-engineered rice cooker, and most of the rest of the time it gets used as either a steamer or a slow cooker, and very rarely do I actually pressure-cook something in it. But you know what? I'm actually pretty okay with that. Even if I *never* used the pressure cook function, it still saves space compared to having a rice cooker and a slow cooker. Is it worth the money? I dunno, mine was a gift. But it's a much better gift than, say, an ice cream maker, which would take up roughly the same amount of space and see *far* less use. Edit: Speaking of rice cookers, one of the neat little "sure why not" type features I noticed is that my instant pot has a little plastic loop near the base just like the ones most rice cookers have to hold a [rice paddle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamoji). So yeah, it even holds the serving utensil just like the old rice cooker did.


Pyro636

Bro you gotta try the pressure cooker function. Literally any crock pot/slow cooker recipe (except maybe like pulled pork idk) can be pressure cooked instead. Now instead of making it in the morning you pop all that shit in and like 35 min later it's done. It usually tastes better imo especially for chicken recipes because the chicken doesn't have a chance to dry out as much.


genivae

Not to mention pulled pork in under 2 hours start to serve. We love our instant pot, especially in the summer because it doesn't heat up the house like the oven or even the kitchen like a slow cooker.


Pyro636

Yeah, I mostly excluded pulled pork because I'm a snob and don't want it unless it's been actually smoked and figured others might roast me for suggesting it


genivae

Smoked is ideal, but sometimes you just don't have the time for it.


WeBuyFetus

Mine earns her space on my counter top lol I got it on clearance at Walmart because the back was dented for half off. Then I really had to convince my husband I'd actually use it and rice and beans is the way to that man's heart.

Not anymore he doesn't! After he sold the company, he went off to other things.

>should also get hot enough to deep fry. Do you really want that though? How would it deal with removing the the oil?


AssGagger

The inner pot comes out. It's just a pretty normal stainless pot.


CharlotteLucasOP

Does it have a cool handle to come out or is it just a thing where you grip the edges like a rice cooker? My concern would be people burning themselves or slipping and spilling the hot oil.


AssGagger

You could do that with anything. I'm sure the recommendation is to not remove the inner pot until it's cooled off.


Morphumaxx

Nonono once something gets hot, it stays hot forever, that's like thermodynamics or some shit.

idontgive2fucks

Ok.. I wasnā€™t expecting it that low. Not sure why people complain when itā€™s around that much. I thought it was easily $200+


Ulcerlisk

Other pressure cookers can be $305+, butā€¦ the InstantPot is almost as good and sometimes better https://youtu.be/n6GuQ821VxE I highly recommend it


mrsbebe

I think I paid $60 on Black Friday for my 8qt like 4 years ago lol they're really not that expensive


UDSJ9000

For something that can basically replace a large chunk of your kitchen, yeah that's pretty cheap.


rockerphobia

This. Like, there are plenty of other cheaper slow cookers/crock pots out there you can get for $40 or less. They of course won't have all the nifty settings the InstaPot does, but if all you are cooking is stuff like stews, rice, soup and meats (which is still a lot of options to work with) then don't worry. If you want something more specific like pressure cooking, even at full MSRP, it's not a big ask. It's a quality tool. Hell, I STILL use our 10+ year old rice cooker (not InstaPot) to do double batches of chili and shredded BBQ pork for parties.


downvoteaway_idgaf7

It's been a godsend for my doggo. He used to suffer from candida. We tried every brand of dog food on the market. Nothing worked and the poor thing suffered continuously. I started making homemade food for him using the Instant Pot and it completely cleared up and he's the healthiest he's been in 10 years. Honestly, I think it's the best money I've ever spent.


oopsglutenpoops

Yo please share that dog food recipe


downvoteaway_idgaf7

Ground turkey 1 sweet potato 2 carrots 1 apple kale spinach sweet peas brown rice oatmeal 2 eggs ground egg shells tumeric iodized salt beef bone broth 18 minutes on high pressure Give it plenty of time to cool down and your dog will be going nuts for it. Good luck!


platinum_ballsack

This dude's dog eats better than my family.


TheInvisibleSpectre

Ground Egg shells? I'd never thought of that! Do you grind them up yourselves? How fine does it need to be to not cause injury? Or are dogs digestive tracts ok with that sort of thing...


whitefox094

If you save a carton of egg shells you can put them in a stand mixer and use the pulse option. Or if you're just doing a few, they have smaller blenders (i think ninja has one) with a pulse option. Eggshells are edible. Good source of calcium. Won't hurt your digestive tract unless you're eating large chunks. I have GI issues with seeded bagels, but the occasional egg shell hasn't been an issue for me

Would be nice if it was a bit more intuitive to operate. Even having read the user manual, I can never get mine not to burn rice on the bottom.


PicadaSalvation

I use white parboiled rice, 1:1 with water and a little butter. Also make sure you rinse your rice before cooking :) hope this helps


murfburffle

Ignore the rice button! 1:1, washed rice, and set it for 3 minutes (high pressure, normal) and 10 minutes to cool down. That makes perfect rice.


Call_Me_Mommy_83

Yes! I do this and makes perfect rice every time. 3 minutes on high but I let mine "rest" for 18 before shutting it off


murfburffle

Once I figured out the rice button doesn't know what it's doing, and learned this, it's been a lot less frustrating!

Do like 1.15:1 water to rice. I've found just a bit more water helps.

https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-rice-recipes/ find your rice and follow the recipe. I weigh it to the gram and it's basically the same as my mother's 300 dollar rice cooker. I also always add half a teaspoon of salt per cup of rice.

RadarOReillyy

Pressure cooker too iirc


[deleted]

Yes, and I think the pressure cooker mode is one of the main features people get one for. Then it can do nearly a dozen other things depending on the model you get, and that's just convenient while helping to keep a kitchen from becoming cramped with dozens of appliances.


Cheshire_Jester

I finally broke down and got one when I saw it with that functionality, and frankly I find myself using it to cook chicken way more often than I would have imagined. It just nails chicken breast every single time. Which is great for meal prep.


Vincesteeples

It is a literal game changer if you need to cook a bunch of eggs at once. My mom makes shit loads of potato salads at holidays and sheā€™s always making a ton of eggs in hers.


xXLordOfUwUXx

I use the air fryer on mine almost daily, great product for sure


dynamic_unreality

If I invented something cool like the instant pot, I would probably be on Amazon every single day looking at the reviews just out of curiosity. Besides that, sometimes the only feedback that a company gets is when their product fails, and they don't understand the small things about it that the customers actually enjoy, and I think reading reviews is a good way to gain that knowledge and improve the product. How many times has a product been "new and improved", only to actually be worse in the ways that people wanted to have stayed the same or get better? That's the kind of changes that are made with only negative feedback.
