Instant Pot!

[GoingNuts]

There's half a turkey breast in my Instant Pot right now.  I have no idea how this is going to come out, but the house smells amazing right now.

Hoping it turns out well, GN.

I don't have an instant pot, but I do bone in turkey breasts in my big slow cooker a lot.  I use the seasoning from this chicken recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/45954/roast-sticky-chicken-rotisserie-style/, except with double the garlic powder and half of the salt.

It was fab. i seasoned it with garlic and pepper, and browned it on Sautee for 5 mins.  Then I removed the turkey and sautéed diced carrots, celery and onion.  I added in some garlic and poultry seasoning, 2 cups of turkey broth (had some in the freezer).  Put the turkey back in, cooked for 35 minutes on high pressure.  Did NPR for 5 minutes, then released the pressure.

I let the turkey rest while I made the gravy. I like an au jus pan gravy, so I just poured the liquid and veggies off, skimmed the fat, then used my immersion blender.  The gravy was delish.

Another Instant Pot success.

I did pot roast the other day. I read someones advice to cut the chuck roast I to strips, so did that, then added carrots and potatoes, a can of beef broth and a slow cooker packet of tavern pot roast seasoning (can't remember brand, maybe Campbell's, but its a liquid) amnd cooked high pressure for 45 minutes, NPR. It was so good, the falling apart roast that I could never get in my crock pot.

Interesting - I would have thought turkey was too lean to do in a slow cooker.  Maybe I'll have to give it try some time!

I leave the skin on and take it off after cooking, so that probably helps keep it from getting dry.  I just loosen it and rub some seasoning under the skin and some on top.

I've done Turkey breast in crock pot too, it turns out great.

I made elderberry syrup today

and hummus (not in instant pot - but I do want to try it from dry beans)

[spacecanada]

That sounds delightful, Stinky.  What's your elderberry syrup recipe???

I put it in a smoothie
I drink it straight - it doesn't taste very good
I put it over ice with Lacroix
I share with friends

My first Instant Pot fail.

I tried the spaghetti squash, and after 20 minutes in the pot, it still isn't really "done".  So I threw it in the oven with some olive oil.

Interesting, I went back and read some of the comments on the nom nom site and people seem to think it has to do with the ripeness of the squash.  I have no idea if this is true or not.  Bummer that it didn't turn out.

[Stinky10]

did you cut it or whole?
how much liquid did you add
did it come to pressure?

I swear I did mine in 6mins - but I think I've seen 20 posted a few times
I have another one on the counter

Cut in half, with 1 cup liquid.  Came out nicely in the oven.
