Using the pressure cooker the first time was scary for me as well but once you actually use it you see it isn't as scary as you feared it would be. I can't wait to make bone broth and I also want to make yogurt. I may give it a try this weekend. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-67952878764570672362016-10-01T15:03:37.422-04:002016-10-01T15:03:37.422-04:00Hi GGC,
So glad you are feeling at least some bet...Hi GGC,<br /><br />So glad you are feeling at least some better. <br /><br />I don't have the Instant Pot, but do have an older electric digital pressure cooker I got from QVC a few years back. I let it sit unopened for a couple of years before I was 'brave enough' to try using it. I read all the manual and followed the directions exactly. Turned out it was easy to use after all! <br /><br />You will love working with your new fun appliance! Your beef recipe shared this time sounds and looks great! <br /><br />I probably use mine most for making poultry bone broth but have made meats in it too. The browning feature is great. It has a slow cooker mode but I have not used that. <br /><br />Have fun getting to know your new Instant Pot!<br /><br />Alice B.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845276963883689438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-49510377501048712822016-09-30T19:54:15.434-04:002016-09-30T19:54:15.434-04:00Thanks Reen!

I'm a huge fan of bone broth so in 40 minutes of cook time I can be looking forward to a nice big mug of spicy broth and lots left for soup or whatever. I usually leave a batch in the fridge for sipping during the week. A perfect healthy autumn drink! No more slow cooking bones all night. <br />I have heard of cooks clearing out most of their small appliances because this pot does it all. I can't see myself doing anything that drastic though. It took me years (and a small fortune) to collect my kitchen gadgets. <br />Happy instant potting! <br /><br />Reens<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-48029000482846972852016-09-29T22:46:52.519-04:002016-09-29T22:46:52.519-04:00Oh no!!

Thank you. It's slowly getting a...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />Thank you. It's slowly getting a little better each day, as well as my head, neck and back. I don't have time to be idle...LOL. I am most definitely going to invest in a long handled cob web duster. There are too many high places to reach in this house and I may not be as lucky next time! Today's official high was 78 here but the sun was quite strong but it started off 61 this morning which is a good sign. Once we start cooling off at night like this...autumn is definitely here! I think we have low 80s as highs for the next week or so. As long as it takes all morning and afternoon to get to that, I can handle it. I'm looking forward to playing with the Instant Pot this season! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-38386950162533276042016-09-29T21:47:40.217-04:002016-09-29T21:47:40.217-04:00Hi Ken!
Glad to hear you enjoy your 8 qt pressure...Hi Ken!<br /><br />Glad to hear you enjoy your 8 qt pressure cooker, too. I'm looking forward to experimenting with it this fall/winter. I know what you mean about being scared at first. I did the "test cook" with nothing but water that they suggest in the manual. It's a short cycle and gives you a feel for how it works. I definitely felt more confident putting food in it after that. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-64901471421133353132016-09-29T21:45:09.773-04:002016-09-29T21:45:09.773-04:00Hi Gene,

Do you strain your yogurt when you make it to make it like Greek yogurt or eat it "as is"?Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-36185334714503758092016-09-29T21:43:01.564-04:002016-09-29T21:43:01.564-04:00Hi cjbell,

It is definitely going on my wish list. . again. <br />My daughter-in-law taught me a cool trick for pulling/shredding the cooked meat (pork shoulder, chicken, beef, whatever) - Use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the regular paddle. Fill the bowl with the meat, and turn it on. I could not believe it!!! She can shred 15# of pork in almost no time!!

I invested in one of those long-handled dusters after a similar mishap. Luckily it didn't result in injuries *that* time ... but I learned my lesson. :-)<br /><br />We love our Instant Pot. Haven't used it in a while, though, so it's time to pull it out again, especially now for your Yummy Recipe!<br /><br />Hopefully you get a nice long autumn so that you can really enjoy your lovely new yard before the cold weather sets in.

(I wonder what I can "get rid of" to make room) <br />The idea of searing it in the pot is a real timesaver as you don't have an extra pan to wash. And I would love to try the yogurt method. I have my own method and always have fresh yogurt in my fridge - but this might be easier. Gene Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731141629634998152noreply@blogger.com
