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

[goeduck]

Anyone make their own corned beef briskets and then cook them in the Instant Pot? I saw a brisket in the store today and it got me thinking to make my own corned beef to go along with the sauerkraut I make. Prepared corned beef briskets in the Instant Pot for that matter. Pastrami.... gotta try making that as well.

Oh, now you're killing me! That sounds like an excellent endeavor.

Crazy me, largely about making a Great Ruben sandwich. But also about corned beef with cabbage, potatoes and carrots.... but then there is corned beef hash..... the possibilities go on :licking:

We can usually find good Corned Beef at the store but can never seem to find the plain Brisket. Pastrami is really out of the question. We do have a large chunk of Moose that may enjoy being Corned.:licking:

Looking good! Are you the chef or is there a better half at play? I leave that creativity to my wife. She shoos me out of the kitchen. I pretty much relegated to outdoor cooking. Although I know how to do a omelets pretty dang well. Most all people burn the egg mixture.

Good Man! We love lentil soup but haven't tried the green variety. Is the taste different?

 

[ronjhall]

Stealing the dried beans subject from Doofy in the old fart thread, does anyone make a soup with dried beans using chicken or beef stock to hydrate the dried beans? Then add veggies and meat?

We tried using a 50/50 mix of water and vegetable stock when cooking the dry Pintos. Worked well and a pleasing flavour. Any stock would be good.

Do you still do the old presoak and discard the water method beforehand?

No sir. From bag to pot to mouth. There were no hard beans or mushy beans. I was impressed.

Many times I throw in a ham or beef bone, or even chicken legs or bones that still have some meat on them, with water and dry beans. I like to use I cup of beans to a quart of water ratio, and then 10 pounds for 90 mins...

90 mins insures that even old beans will be nice and tender...

Now, there's some soup/chili starter!!

Yet another great idea! I have a couple of butt hams in the freezer that need to be used up. I can use the bones from them as well as re-freeze some ham meat for future soups. Getting this instant pot routine down! :licking: In the last it was ham leftovers for a week.

Wife made some excellent bean soup the old fashioned way. Very good.
