The IP is a handy tool for home cooks. It is not a tool you'll find at a restaurant.
I believe (as a chef) that it can be used in restaurants for certain items and mostly for those accidental run outs and you need that item cooked like yesterday for a customer.
I also believe that it would be quite handy for food trucks.
People like Lisa and others that post IP recipes here on YT and the web, do so to open up possiblities to IP use.
Thanks Lisa. I may not be an IP expert, but there are some things I've done with my IP & have managed to alter a few ways of cooking with it, such as pot roast (hey, if you can cook chicken or ribs in your IP, you can cook a roast in it). I have even done chops and tenderloins (both with that crisp outside & wo using a skillet to finish it off).
You always have great ideas however if you have a instant pot with the sous vide function you can make a perfect steak. Just finish quickly on the grill and it will be how you like it inside. The thicker the cut the better.
I agree with you 100%! Love your cookbook ?❤
that hot and sour soup looks great!
Most, probably all, Instant Pots have a slow cook function. I always use the highest setting for perfect slow cooked food.
I bought Lisa's first book and use it all the time. She really has tried, tested and is honest and truthful with her meals. She knows what she is presenting and is very honest in her findings and recipes. She and her company are real and sharing really good meals with her audience and her own family.
Always welcoming and truthful. Try putting some cream cheese or cottage cheese in your mashed potatoes. My grandma's secret. Use red potatoes with that and add some half and half. Obviously salt and any other spices you like and you will have a literally cloud type heaven mashed potato. Try it.
I totally agree with not doing a pot roast! I also won't do ribs.
I don’t agree with the pot roast. First of all you brown it first. Second of all a long natural release is key.
Curious why on on earth do you use prepackaged cubed potatoes for your mashed potatoes? The ip cooks potatoes and mashed potatoes perfectly for mashing (you can cook them in their skins even!) .. no plastic packaging, less expensive, etc
The slow cooker doesn't brown a roast either. At least you can sear the pot roast first in the Instant Pot. My mother made a really good barbecue pot roast (in a Dutch oven) that is a disaster in a pressure cooker. Burn notice!
it's just a pressure pot with its own timer…. it's nothing new lol
Weird. You use a separate crock pot when the IP already has a slow cooker?
I use a 2 1/2 lb chuck roast.
I saute my roast til it gets a good brown crust on both sides. I take it out and brown my onions. Put the roast back in on the round rack. Then i cut my carrots into bias chunks and wrap in foil. I cut my little potatoes in half season them and also wrap in foil. I stuff the foil packets on each side of the roast, add 2 cups of beef broth and cook for 55 minutes. Take it all out and let it rest while I turn saute to high. Add a slurry to help thicken gravy. Roast falls apart and veg are soft. Put the veg in the gravy while it reduces. Only way I'll ever make pot roast again.
I agree with the way @haroldmocc9828 cooks his pot roasts, and I do it almost identically the same way. I always cook my pot roasts in my IP. They always come out tender and delicious, and if I have guests, they rave about it.
you really should have included cheesecake in the always make category.
Thank you. I am not a big cook and am learning to use this device. I love your videos.
I actually use Instant Pots dutch oven for my roast & it was absolutely fall apart, meltnin your mouth outstanding!
How long do you cook the spaghetti squash typically
The trick to IP pot roast is to adjust your time for the thickness of the roast, but other than that you cook it the same way as country ribs. Once the roast is cooked let rest on a cooling rack for 15 minutes, then sear it in the IP (or skillet) then add pot roast veggies to the IP, the roast and seasoning, pressurize for about 5-7 minutes and serve after the steam pressure is released. (my total time is usually between 50-70 mins (including roast settling time of 15mins).
🤷🏻♀️i dont know…for me, its easy to hit sauté to brown my beef then hit the crockpot setting to finish. Thats just me. Id also like to add that i love doing spaghetti and meatballs in the IP! Im handicapped and cant stand long to mess with the boiling of the noodles and dumping things out. So the IP and air fryer have been game changers! Oh! And i dont know why i hadnt thought of doing the mashed potatoes in there! Thanks so much!!! 🤗
I slice spaghetti squash in 1/2 take the seeds out. Put it on a plate cut side down in the microwave. Cook on high for up to 15 minutes in 5 minute increments ( usually only 10 min in my microwave), & wallah! It’s ready!
I just got the notification for this video while I was watching many of your other Instant Pot videos. It pays to have the alerts tured on!
What size is the font in this book? Is the print high contrast or low contrast?
Very timely. I’ve gotten lazy about b using my IP lately.
