Instant Pot!

[becca]

Trying a frozen salmon fillet, rather large, a generous two portions sized single piece.  After some googling, tried 4 mins. then QR.  Not done.  added 2 mins and ran it again, QR.  Still felt a bit of frozen crunch in the center when I used my instant thermometer.  Doing another 2 minutes.  Will let you know how it turns out.  I do not like overdone salmon, but do want it cooked through. 

It is finally done after the last round.  So, it was a total of 8 minutes, but if I had not interrupted it the two times, maybe it would not need a full 8 minutes from the get-go.  If I do it again, I will start with 6 minutes, and 5 mins NPR.

Becca we eat salmon a lot and I've seen lots of posts of it done in the IP - that's going to take a lot for me to do

I just bake it - salt, olive oil, lemon if I have it and pepper

I just hate the white stuff (I think its protein - albumen?) that come out

****

anyway- My pork is the best that I have ever made!  DS just asked for seconds....on his pork snack - on English muffin with melted provolone

I added a cap and half of hickory - liquid smoke -

now cooking red beans in the pork liquid in the IP - I hope the salt in the liquid doesn't make them hard

I love a dish of pork, red beans, and greens with an egg on top!   Need to send DH to store to get greens!

and chick peas  - still craving hummus - not buying dry though - maybe next time

I'm refining my baked beans recipe. If it works tonight, I'll post it. 

[Stinky10]

I should have used my chicken broth = the pork "broth" was too salty and the beans aren't right....

Stinky, I usually bake or grill salmon, also. This was a piece I had in the freezer and I decided I wanted it tonight...let dh have some leftover pork we had.  It was not over done and no albumin.  It surpassed my expectations in terms of texture.  If I had fresh piece, I'd just bake it or grill it.

Ooooh, that does look good.  I was referring to the Portuguese Chivken, of course, not cooking John Hamm's penis in an Insrant Pot.   

[YouKnowWho]

Might need an 8qt for Hamm.

Hahaha!

OMG, I seriously fell in love with my Instant Pot all over again tonight. I was craving my Grandma's chicken, but was seriously not digging the thought of waiting 2 hours for it to cook.

I seasoned and browned the chicken, cut up the veggies, dumped them in the Pot with 1 1/4 cups of water.  Cooked on high for 15 minutes, NPR for 15 and voila! Grandma's chicken. Served over egg noodles with roasted cauliflower.  And I had the time to make PC's cookies.  :-)

[Stinky10]

what veggies? 

I'm afraid that they'll turn to mush

whole chicken in there now - with left over broth from last chicken, half a lemon and that's it

20 mins

So I watched part of the video here and saw the IP in action for the first time. It beeps. Yikes. I buy appliances based on whether I can turn the beep off.  Can you turn it off in your IP?

Also---great examples of a Fort Worth accent. I do not have it, but I have many friends who do!

Onions, carrots and celery.  They are more for flavoring the broth than eating, though I used really big, thick carrots and they held their body.
