I know I'm a few months behind but just wanted to announce I finally bought an Instant Pot (a DUO Nova) YAY! I appreciated all of y'all's tips, recipes and ideas and decided to try it out. Remind me next time the topic here returns to the IP and I'll talk about my newbie experiences.

I've used a wok in the past but NOT the expensive "real" ones that need seasoning like a good cast iron skillet. I imagine it takes a gas stove or burner that can put out very high temperatures. A few days ago I made chicken pad thai in the Instant Pot and it was SO good - even better the next day.

I think that black rice might do very well in an Instant Pot. I made the mistake of making a chicken and rice dish in mine and should have used plain white rice instead of basmati as it turned out mushy. Live and learn.

I think the best things we’ve made in the Instant Pot have been pulled pork, and Indian Butter Chicken - and that ‘Mississippi Pot Roast’. (My husband swears he has only done the pot roast in the slow cooker, but I’m sure he has done it in the Instant Pot- and his rememberer isn’t as good as mine :-) If you look around, there are specific Instant Pot recipes for adapting the pot roast:

I haven’t tried doing rice or beans or anything starchy in it - I’ve been worried about clogging the vent.

Ours is a ‘Duo’, which makes yogurt; haven’t tried that yet, either.

Tell us what you’ve made - there aren’t any rules about monthly themes or subject-matter, here. We like it when you post whatever you’re cooking.
