the Instant Pot thread

I couldn't get the damned timer to set. I did get it and honestly I made some bad ass chicken and rice

We just had some pretty awesome instant pot short ribs. My wife got that recipe along with a bunch of others so far out of a cookbook called “nom nom paleo”.  Not sure I’d say they were the best ribs ever, but they were pretty darn good and easy to make which was the best part.

Any updates or new recipes for the instant pot ? We got one for Christmas this year. I have been online looking but haven't seen anything that jumps out as "Got to try This". The wife says that since we have it, I have to start doing some cooking  Anyone doing salmon or steel-head ?

Not sure I'd say anything we've had has been amazing or earth shatteringly delicious. It's been more of a time saver/convenience factor thing for us. We haven't gotten too adventurous with ours either though. Really great for soups, pork butts for tacos, etc.

agreed.
for me it's a time saver/space saver as now i dont have to have a rice cooker AND my slow cooker.
one recipe i've mad a few times is this instant pot risotto.
makes a GREAT side for salmon or steak, and the fact that you dont have to sit and stir it the whole time makes it taste even better to me.

The only thing I’ve made in ours consistently is pulled venison tacos. The wife loves them. Do a small roast rubbed in McCormivks Southwest seasoning, cooked with a little beef stock and a couple whole cloves of garlic, and some a tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for 70 minutes. Pull the meat, add back a fair amount of stock and all the garlic. Season to taste with salt and taco seasoning.

i hardboiled eggs in mine the other night since i love to keep those in the fridge for breakfast.
they are the easiest hard boiled eggs to peel i've ever had, and this is with backyard fresh eggs, which normally have to sit for a while before you can hardboil them.

This looks interesting. Not a great fan of heavy cream and cheesy stuff. I know it's delish but I gotta watch my boyish figure now that I'm getting up with the senior crowd.

Did an elk stew last night that was very good. Basic ingredients, carrots onion, potatoes, rutabaga, elk, red wine, mushrooms,  and some seasonings. 30 minutes with the meat and onions after browning. Release pressure add whatever veggies you like and go another 5 minutes then release pressure. Thicken if desired. I usually don't. More like an elk soup but very tasty.

I got this recipe book last year and have cooked probably 10 or so meals from it.  Pretty solid.

Get the insta pot, most of the recipes are for them. Ours is a nock off which makes it tougher to figure out the settings when cooking.

ok ok.. i know this isnt directly related to wild game cooking, but i made this the other day when i did bacon elk burgers for dinner and it was delicious.  with summer around the corner, and lots of bbq time, this is a great, easy side dish.
I would say it's better after it's sat in the fridge overnight, so make it ahead of time for best results 
the recipe calls for cooking the macaroni in an instant pot... the texture of the mac definitely came out different than boiling, so i would say to follow that if possible.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large elbow macaroni
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 2 1/2 cups of water (approx)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- salt
- 1 1/4 cups of real mayonnaise
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp prepared mustard
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 2 stalks celery finely chopped
- 3 scallions/green onions finely chopped

1.  dump macaroni into instant pot, add rice vinegar and water (liquid should be just above the macaroni, adjust the water as needed here
2. add the olive oil to reduce foaming and salt the water and pasta liberally
3. place top on pressure cooker and cook on LOW pressure for 5 minutes
While mac is cooking..prepare the sauce
4. In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and onion powder.  the mixture looks very thin, but once mixed with pasta and absorbed it will be just right
5. when pressure cooker is finished cooking for 5 minutes, do a quick release and remove lid and let sit for about a minute
6. pour macaroni in a colander and rinse with cold water and let drain then transfer to large bowl
7. add carrots, celery and onions/scallions to bowl with macaroni, then pour sauce over and mix well
add salt as needed, then refrigerate to let it all blend together

top with ground pepper or sriracha and enjoy!

Yep, no other way comes close!
