What do you do with your Instant Pot you cant do with a crock pot?

[ronjhall]

Ron ... I use 3 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar, one cup of water, 1/2 tsp. of liquid smoke in my 6 qt. IP. You could cut back to probably 2 tbsp. of vinegar. I haven't tasted the vinegar at all.

I cut back to little over 1 1/2 tbsp of vinegar. Same liquid smoke. Came out perfect. I liked apple juice instead of water.
I use apple juice a lot with my smoker.

Nobody here drinks apple juice so ... I never think of it. I'll have to see if our local H-E-B keeps it in smaller bottles.

My wife happen to have 3 8oz bottles of apple juice.

That would be a good size for IP cooking. Thanks!

Well I wanted to try a pasta so I am starting with something safe like spaghetti. The recipe that I had was not too clear so I used some logic and put
1 chicken stock in the bottom,
2 broke the spaghetti noodles in half and put them in next
3 put a couple of quarts of frozen tomatoes from my garden, supplemented with a jar of store spaghetti sauce from the pantry
4 added spices
4 mushed in the spices to the tomatoes, careful not to bring up noodles which need liquid
5 added hamburger pre cooked in my cast iron skillet
6 added onions, garlic and mushrooms precooked in the cast iron after the hamburger
7 mushed in the hamburger and onlions slightly into the sauce and spices
8 set cooker to high pressure and 8 minutes.

Cannot wait. I will mix mine with kimchi sauerkraut because I am weird that way. :licking:

And a short time later we are waiting with parmesan in hand for it to cool down

I saw some ribs in the store today and thought of this thread. So I bought a rack. I forgot to get apple juice so I will need to do that before Saturday when I do them. :licking:

Your spaghetti looks great!

For your ribs ... you can use water or beef broth with 3 tbs. of apple cider vinegar as well. I add 1/2 tsp. of liquid smoke also.

The wife needed some things in town so I picked up some small bottles of apple cider. I have apple cider vinegar so I am all set for Saturday. :licking:
