    Lana, I’m going to make this for my family this weekend. I have the DUO NOVA 10qt. How many lbs of flank steak can I cook in this instapot? I cooked your Piccadilly recipe for 40 using your recipe and following your video. Huge success! Thank you so much.

    By the way, I'm a "real Cuban" who wants to learn how to cook "Ropa Vieja". Note that I consider "real Cuban" as a person born in Cuba and came to the US at least after he or she spent from 6 to 28 years living in Cuba. So with that out of the way, I would like to know what's the difference between flank steak and skirt steak since I heard someone using "skirt steak" to cook "Ropa Vieja". Besides, I hope I don't offend anyone with my remarks about "real Cuban", for I came in 1980 to the US at a "tender age" of 27 going to 28; thus, I lived in Cuba until I was 27.

    I LOOOOVE Ropa vieja!!! I make it all the time in the slow cooker but I think this is what I'm going to Make when I break in my new duo evil. I've never been a instant pot fan But a RV In only 45 minutes maybe its saving grace? I also have a huge Chuck roast that I need to get rid of S well so I definitely will be introducing the to tomorrow. Unfortunately I was raised by a Cuban mother who Wanted to be a gringa And although She Is great in the kitchen She only cooks snooty Gringo food. Thank God for Cuban recipes On YouTube! Lol

    I don't have an instant pot, but another digital cooker. Can it work on there ? I nedd an instant pot when it is dirt cheap sale maybe next yr, but why when I have a digital pressure cooker it has rice, etc settings all I need, saute, etc ? Oh ok glad just heard you say other pot while writting this. I have tp buy other stuff that could not b4. Do I need wood square ended spoon or can my plastic one I use not work well enough? Ugh now gotta add that to my list. Lol you mean white cooking wine different then wine. I just got confused. Lol good tips. No wonder got burn notice. Lol I have the same little pimento jars. I use all good goya & good brand ingredients. Lol tpu did not scrape the bowl at the end. Lol

    I've tried to meal prep ropa vieja for the week several times and always got the burn warning and it never tasted right. Being originally from Miami I had to do Cuban food right.

    Only recently did it occur to me to look on YouTube for how to do it right. I saw your thumbnail and said "She looks like she knows what she's talking about." I was not disappointed. Using your video I modified my recipe so that it came out deliciously the first try without a burn notice.

    Thanks, Lana.

    Hello, can you explain more about how to use the slow cook function please? I want to know if is less time than your regular slow cooker for example if I have a pot roast and I make it in 4-6 hrs using a regular crockpot do I cook the pot roast the same time with the omni plus?

    You have a special place in my heart, Lana. Anyone who can take old school Cuban favorites, like Ropa Vieja, and give them the nouveau tweak of current technology with the latest cooking methods…well…you have my heart and my respect!

    I am a Gringa who grew up in south Florida and in Tampa Bay. Delicious Cuban food was everywhere. It is a favorite part of my family's culinary history.

    We eat traditional Southern, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Jamaican and Jewish foods in my house. We are the classic Floribbean family!

    Thank you for the inspiration your videos provide! I see Ropa Vieja coming soon to my Instant Pot now!
