Bought Lisa's cookbooks for my IP - loving homemade applesauce and cranberry sauce (made ahead for multiple potlucks - Total Hits!), and made pulled pork for tailgating. Now I'll be making the IP recipes for sweet potatoes and the green beans for holidays with family. Lisa's recipes are making my budget stretch and my cooking duties easier and less stressful. Don't work hard; work SMART! 🦃 Pro Tip: Buy an extra liner pot (with sealing lid) so you can pop out what has just been cooked and keep it covered and warm, then get your next dish going in your second liner pot. This saves me tons of time for family meals.
100% to the oven being such valuable real estate. I love the instant pot for my mashed potatoes, and my crockpot for my stuffing. All movable, keeps things warm, and lets the turkey and rolls have the oven they need. Thanks for all these ideas to help lower holiday stress.
For tip #2 keeping food warm, if I have previously cooked meatballs in the fridge do I put them in the IP cold and put the pot on keep warm. Or, do I have to heat the meatballs first? How long will it take to heat them in the IP?
How long should an Instant Pot last? I have had my Instant Pot 5 years and I use it about 25 times a month on average. I keep it clean and do periodic deep cleaning so it keeps sealing good. I would buy another one right now and keep it on hand if I knew it was going to stop working soon. I don't know how long the heating element lasts.
What I can use anywhere: a real heavy-duty pressure cooker. I can use it over a butane or propane burner, keep it warm over sterno or an alcohol stove in emergencies, and even on the far edge of a camp fire. Buying your cookware attached to electrical wires is mostly a gimmick because those items then lack longevity. I knew a 91 year old man who'd been using the same steam kettle for his coffee for over 50 years. Try *that* with an electric kettle or electric coffee maker! A 6 quart pressure cooker or dutch oven can be used in a similar way to an Instant Pot.
Warning about #3 if you raise dough, never let it put pressure on the pin from the inside. If you can't release the pressure anymore it will stay closed (forever). Some people did too much dough and had to throw away/replace the whole Instant Pot, I've read.
Also, be careful when cooking oatmeal in the InstantPot. If you cook too much at once, it can get into the hole where the steam comes out when you depressurize it. If it dries in there, it's big trouble.

Ohhh double broiler is new for me! Great vid- chapter titles would be helpful!
I have three instapots of different sizes. Absolute game changer for holidays or everyday meals.
INSTANT Pot. Literally says it on the appliance & box
Great tips! I never thought about using it as a double boiler.
You should totally do a holiday cookbook! ❤
love the reminders to what is possible
My grandma put cream cheese in her red potato mashed potatoes. She also put in half and half... and of course salt.
For tip #2 keeping food warm, if I have previously cooked meatballs in the fridge do I put them in the IP cold and put the pot on keep warm. Or, do I have to heat the meatballs first? How long will it take to heat them in the IP?
Thanks so much for this helps alot!❤❤❤
I want your book! Thank you😊

".......hopefully." LOL!

Maybe use a glass lid when proofing dough to avoid that situation.
I have an eight quart instant pot. If one cup of water enough for the potatoes
LOVE making my mashed potatoes in the IP, but the spewing of the yuck when I release pressure makes such a mess!! How do I avoid that?
Towel over the lid.
How long does it take to proof dough? You didn’t mention time.
I have a instant pot. I had never use the pot. Is there anyway. I can test it out. Help. Thank you
She has great videos for beginners and shows how to test your pot.
Can you do some keto recipes?
✌
Some ads for an Instant Pot mention canning with Mason Jars but I have never seen anything, online, to give ideas on that.
There's thousands of TH-cam videos under the search term "Instant Pot Canning."
milk fish bone
Showes a piece of pie but nothing on the video. WTH Click bait?
sweet potato pie what a scrooge
Yes, I clicked on here for the pumpkin pie recipe…? Guess I’m another who didn’t see the “sweet potato pie” connection…?
