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

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.

Just vent sooner.

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

:licking: . . . a couple more of really good food.

I let it depressure 9 min then manual vented.

Perhaps too long sautéing? 2-3 minutes per side on normal breasts ... even less if they're pretty thin. You're just wanting to give the outside some color.

Mine come out juicy and fork tender. I cook boneless thighs as well.

I just started starting to read up on the Breville I bought. It talks about searing meat in it on foods that taste best seared before cooking. Does anyone do that? I would think I would still want to sear in my cast iron, followed by diced onion to abosrb the flavor, then into the instapot.

Sear and saute works great in the Instant Pot. Why dirty another pan?

You do not understand me and my affinity to my cast iron pans :laughing: Also, I do not wash my cast iron, I just splash water braise it clean and wipe it out. So no additional dirty pans

Actually, searing in a thin pot seems odd to get a correct sear. Cast iron has thermal mass that sears very well when you drop meat onto it. I did not mean to digress... back to instapots.

Only did about 2 min since they were thin. Sautéing sure splattered a lot.

"My dog's are family" would imply the dogs own "are family".


"My dogs are family" would imply they are family members.

Plural words do not require an apostrophy.
