Carla shows us how to make Polenta Cacio e Pepe using the hot new trend in cooking appliances–Instant Pot. Check out the recipe here: http://bit.ly/2EbLB0D …
You know what the instant pot is good for? When you have a crappy glass-top range you can't so much as dream of hoping to replace. I can barely get water to boil on my large burners; a stove-top pressure cooker would have been an exercise in extreme futility.
I want Carla to cook for me and then…
Overdoing the hand camera movement. Grow up.
Did not enjoy the shakey cam.
Huh. That polenta does not look cooked to me. It is loose and very runny. Also, I do not see the normal amount of (corn) starch released into the remaining cooking water sitting atop the cooked polenta. Furthermore, the 'Bob's Red Hill' polenta used in this example is a very coarse grind. Italian polenta uses a more fine grind which greatly speeds cooking time(!) Furthermore, Farina di Maise (corn flour) is sometimes combined with a more coarse grind in recipes so if you like the feel of partially cooked corn grit then you can have that along with the smoothness the Farina di Maise offers. Most, not all, Italian 'Polenta' renditions do not prefer a loose (risotto-like : 'all'onda') finish treatment. They do prefer a more clumpy, "pile-able" finished dish so that what you put atop the pile (sausage+sugo, mushroom+cheese, a chop, or greens) will stay piled nice and high.
Lastly, for sure a pressure cooker of any kind may be a good way to at least par-cook non-instant polenta and could reduce overall cooking time.
I’d love to see how to use a pressure cooker to cook brown rice. Each time I’ve tried that there’s always burnt rice on the base of the pressure cooker.

Lol clearly Carla should have been on Instant Pot’s design team!
Can BA make a long series on instant pot recipes. Make everyone in the KITCHENT use it!
What's the difference between polenta and grits?
Would love to see some ninja Foodi recipes 😜
I don’t know, I find the existential requirements of choosing a type pressure cooker very intimidating… electric..stove top…what kind of person am I…The meaning of Life?…I think I will just order pizza.
I’ll make this polenta, but I’ll use my own broth instead of water. The flavor is much better. And I make yoghurt in the Instant Pot all the time. It cannot be better.

I can't eat food that I don't like to pronounce
I know this is an old video, but Carla, pink is totally your color!! 💕
“I’m going to season the water with salt.” must be the most whitebread-culture cooking step I’ve ever heard
Dude I love Paulina Calcium and Pepe the frog
My favourite
Carla try your short ribs. In the instant pot?
I'd love to see more instant pot/ninja foodi recipes … and especially if Carla can give us some WFPBNO versions of the dishes. 😉
Pressure cooker Risotto is also awesome, and easy. Screw the stirring and ladling.
Making this tonight! Thanks for demo.
Oh my gosh!! Good idea
Good vid, but I'd use it for rice, because I prefer being involved with stirring polenta…
Is polenta, grits??! 🤔

Where is Brad!
You got me buying a Le Creuset dutch oven when I can afford it. But I own an Instant Pot so please please make tons of videos on how to use it. That would be amazing!!!
Molly is just watching 😂
What kind of Andy and Chris are these? like, how can someone change so much in a year and a half?
That polenta is far too watery, polenta isn’t soup
More Carla's Instant Pot experiments🙏🙏🙏
I could totally see Andy lost in a k-hole, mindlessly stirring polenta for a helluva lot longer than 40 minutes.
Carla Move, You’re Blocking My View Of Andy. 😭😂

For me, the Instant Pot really shines at taking a tough cut of meat like beef shin in stew or braise and turning it fork tender and very tasty. It infuses the meat w/ flavor while it tenderizes.
"You can make yogurt! I don't want to, I wanna buy yogurt!"
And that is the wonderful that is Carla. (So cute) 🤗
Mamaliga! pt Romanii nostrii!
The recipe says to bring the mixture to a simmer but the video doesn’t mention anything about that. Do I just skip it?
Please try the instant pot aura. It can sear to sous vide.
Mmmm a bit too loose and watery for this Northern Italian’s taste, but I’m definitely going to give it a try and probably leave it on sauté for a while at the end hoping it thickens. I still dream of the polenta my granny sometimes made outside on an open fire at the mountain chalet, but I’m sure this one can be great as a quick dinner polenta!
