Sometimes trial and error are key (which I know can be frustrating at times). I hope you can get to the texture you like!

I guess I need to research and figure out what went wrong or find something else to make in it. The problem is everywhere you look the cook time is different, maybe I’ll find a better recipe.

I just started using the Instant Pot and I look forward to learning new recipes.

Every Indian household has had a pressure cooker for generations and my family is no exception. The Instant Pot is a nice upgrade from a regular pressure cooker and I love it!

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that’s been your experience!

It really is such a useful appliance to have on hand. Glad you love yours too!!

Reheating it made it stick to the bottom of the pot But it was good and everyone enjoyed it.

It’s held up beautifully. I do keep a separate seal for savory and sweet foods after having steel cut oats that tasted of onions and cumin. I make a gallon of yogurt in it every other week, drain off the whey to make greek yogurt. (Save the whey for your hair – it’s amazing!) There is no limit to what you can make. It works overtime during harvest season though… I freeze 50 or so quarts of sauce each summer and they all come out of the IP. Squash of every persuasion, carrot soup, blanching evenly… it all gets processed in the pot. Amazing appliance I am happy to make room for on the counter!

I still have my slow cooker though, even though I only use it maybe once a year now. 😁

Each one has lasted about 18 months before the electronics don’t work–doesn’t bring it up to the right temp. I’m disappointed.

I was afraid of the old pressure cookers. This one is a breeze. I love it and cook many different meals from soups to stews to roasts. Pasta meals, rice meals you name. Worth every penny.
