I don't know Doofy . . . I have always loved homemade Lentil or Split pea soup . . . :licking:

Maybe it is just "city kids" that don't like it. All our kids still enjoy both.

I use the crock pot more at cold times of the year, so the heat goes into the house.

But the question is, can these Instant Pots actually be put to good use? It's the holiday season after all. Can you put a copper coil on there and make your Holiday Hooch?

Always wanted to buy a pressure cooker and make my own.

Pressure cookers are usually aluminum. They don't make for a good still. You'd be better off with a stainless steel beer keg, or a copper pot. ;)

I even enjoy butterbeans and okra. My kids did not.

Season them up ... what ever you like. At least salt / pepper.

Sauté in olive oil 2-3 minutes per side.

1 cup water or chicken broth in pot.

Chicken on trivet.

Manual mode for 5 minutes.

Natural pressure release for 8-10 minutes then vent.

(I do similar for chicken thighs but, cook for about 12 minutes then natural pressure release 10-15 minutes.)

Going to try this.
Went to Costco and forgot to buy ribs.

The old bad wife ruined all poultry for me by serving raw chicken soon after marriage. The new good wife cooks her chicken well and now I'm good. My 20+ year hiatus is over.

The Instant Pot all but guarantees properly cooked food. Chicken is next.

How do you cook veggies , like carrots or peas?

Maybe this can help?

Thanks for chart.
After browning I stacked chicken on the rack and pressured 5 min. Hope it turns out.

Not bad. Little chewy. These were thin cut breasts, maybe should have cooked less.
