Do you Insta(Pot)?

galactickates · August 2018

I recieved an instapot for a wedding present last year and have yet to use it. I'm thinking it would be great for frozen meals or easy meals for after baby comes.

Let's help keep each other fed

I saw this and totally thought you meant Instagram

@BitterBetty12 same!

BitterBetty12 · August 2018

@galactickates so I personally suggest starting with something super simple just to get used to the pot! It’s really not as scary as it seems. My first ‘recipe’ was just chicken breast that I shredded and used for the week for various meals.

Just trying to get it some attention

I've had an Instant Pot for almost a year and have only used it twice. I can't get into it!

My favorite thing to make is salsa chicken.
I use 1.5-2 lbs of chicken breast
Cut chicken breast(s) in half
Place in IP
Season with cumin and garlic powder (sometimes I'll use taco seasoning instead)
Pour in 1 cup of salsa
Put IP lid on
Set time on manual for 14 minutes
When it's done cooking, do a quick release
Shred the chicken (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer)
Put chicken back in pot and stir in a big spoonful of sour cream (to taste)
Serve over rice, in taco shells, tortillas, etc.

The below are all recipes I have tried and liked (and I'll preface this by saying that the only meat we really eat in our house is chicken).

Italian Chicken Penne (I usually half this recipe): https://www.pressureson.net/2017/02/creamy-italian-chicken-with-penne.html?m=0

Broccoli mac and cheese: https://thegirlonbloor.com/healthy-instant-pot-mac-and-cheese/
Chicken Parm Sandwich (this isn't specifically an IP recipe, but if you know how to make shredded chicken, it's easy to make in the IP): https://cookingwithkarli.com/chicken-parm-sandwich/

I make shredded chicken to have on hand in the freezer or for easy lunches all the time. Chicken breasts, whatever seasonings you want, 1/2 c of water or chicken broth, cook on manual for 14 minutes and do a quick release.

I'm in an "Instant Pot Recipes Only' group on Facebook, and I've found it to be helpful.

@saltedcaramel518 - Wut?? You use your kitchen aid mixer to shred chicken? What attachment? This is a game changer for me. I need details. Please

Just the normal white beater. It's a total game changer!

emmaaa · August 2018

@galactickates I use either the flat beater or the wire whip to shred chicken. Also, I've used the hand mixer lol

kaf1788 · August 2018

@saltedcaramel518 We make that salsa chicken once a week at least! So easy and versatile!

galactickates · August 2018

Welp I've been completely underutilizing my kitchen aid mixer.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · August 2018

I use my instant pot a few times a week. I love it for shredding chicken breasts. I also make spaghetti in it. When fall comes I’ll be using it to make soups and chilli to freeze for when baby boy arrives.

oldiebutgoodie80 · August 2018

I definitely instagram, but not instapot. BUT... I love the SkinnyTaste website, and she does a lot with the instapot, and creates some great healthy recipes.

PolarBear517 · August 2018

Dang I have to admit I haven't used mine in months, so I'm loving this inspiration

This was a favorite, I've made a few times (Zuppa Toscana/knockoff of the Olive Garden soup):

We love our InstaPot! We've made pulled chicken AND pulled Pork in it with huge success. We once made 2 pork shoulders at one time..one in the crockpot for 6 hours, the other in the instapot for 90 minutes. They were EQUALLY as tender and easy to shred! The shredded chicken took 30 minutes (plus about 10 minutes to reach pressure before cooking and 5 minutes to release naturally before manually releasing). I want to do Greek yogurt, but haven't yet. We've made quick terryaki chicken, too, and it's fabulous.

We're still pretty new, though, so I would love more recipes!

Lmao! I thought so too and went, “giiiiirl. Too soon!” Hahaha honestly I wouldn’t care for some of you to know but I’m still cautious about catfish

In other news, yes, we have instapot and it is awesome. Do you follow Skinnytaste FB page? I know the name throws you off a bit but her recipes are really good!! She has a lot of instant pot recipes that even my husband likes. Check it out!!!

Kabazaba · August 2018

Same @galactickates I had no idea the Kitchen Aid could be used for MEAT purposes! Any of you follow Half Baked Harvest or other good food blogs? Starting to check some out again for meal prep purposes, and Half Baked Harvest posted a great looking IP recipe yesterday - Chipotle Cheddar Corn Chowder

galactickates · August 2018

@AliKay20 - I haven't heard of skinny taste but i'll check it out. I'm always looking for new recipes. And @Kabazaba that corn chowder looks awesome!

pttomato · August 2018

I’m always looking for good low carb instant pot recipes. It’s not quite as much of a time saver since I still have to make a separate carb, plus I have to make all my sauces (garlic and onion free and low carb) but I still like it.

We like this lentil and sausage soup, but it’s a little tough for me to carb count now.

https://lemon.press/recipe/pressure-cooker-lentil-and-sausage-soup/

I’ve also successfully cooked a whole chicken in it a few times.

Mandamay1414 · August 2018

I've had an instapot for 4 years and only recently started getting into it. I'm a terrible meal planner and love that I can take frozen meat and cook it in so little time:) 'm so excited for this thread.

MrsDho11 · August 2018

I’ve had one for a few months and was just starting to get the hang of it when I got KU and the morning sickness started. The one of first things I made in it after that I thought smelled completely awful and was ruined, made H go get dinner, and then when he went to throw it away he said it smelled the same as always.

so that happened and I haven’t tried again since.

that said, my favorite recipe I’ve tried is the skinny taste chicken tikka masala! The last time I subbed butternut squash in place of the cauliflower in the recipe and ate it over cauliflower rice. It was delicious. Maybe I’ll give that a try again soon and see if I can unbench it...

BitterBetty12 · August 2018

+1 to skinny taste! Not just her instant pot recipes either!

@PolarBear517 oh man I am totally trying that zuppa toscana next week! I am obsessed with that soup.

kmvisioli · August 2018

I just got one for my birthday last week and so excited to play with it! Can you basically use the same crock-pot recipes but expedite in the IP? I have a butternut squash soup crock-pot recipe I loooove but faster would be nice

bradleysmommy28 · August 2018

I've always thought about getting an IP but never pulled the trigger. A few months ago it was btwn that and an air fryer but DH pulled hard for the air fryer and we do love it. Maybe I'll look into the IP for xmas.

sweetyjenj · August 2018

Yesterday we didn't want to make a complicated dinner, so I started a pot of rice, and DH started this instapot recipe for Teriyaki Chicken. I warmed up some frozen veggies to mix in when it was done. It was EASY, but also healthy and super good. Both the rice and the instapot you just start and let it go until it's done

sweetyjenj · August 2018

Made this tonight, but with fresh green peppers, frozen corn, and frozen carrots instead of cilantro & onions. I added 1tbsp of soy sauce instead of 1tsp, since I love soy sauce. DELICIOUS! The rice came out perfectly moist, almost creamy.

LCRbelle · August 2018

@saltedcaramel518 I love the chicken salsa! So good. I also like to add a can of black beans and a can of corn sometimes! You can also do it in the slow cooker.
I will definitely be checking out all of your recipes because I currently can’t eat red meat and I need some new chicken inspiration!
