Multi-function pressure cooker

[hispoptart]

I bought a insignia multi-purpose cooker today. Thought it would be fun to have a thread where we could share our recipes no matter what brand and model you have.

Congrats! I have 3 Instant Pots...and the smallest (3 qt) just arrived today.

Here's a great recipe for cooking whole chicken - it's delicious: https://damndelicious.net/2019/01/15/instant-pot-rotisserie-chicken/.

I can't believe I waited so long to get my pressure cookers - they've made cooking healthy food so easy. Hope you have fun with yours!

@FoodFreedomNow Since you have 3 of them, I am going to have to call you our resident expert I've found a recipe that I want to make tonight
https://recipes.instantpot.com/recipe/mongolian-beef/

Wonder if you could answer a couple of questions?
1. Do I need to adjust cooking time for my altitude?
2. I'm going to double the recipe, do I need to and more time for that?
3. I'd like to add bell peppers and onions to it, will they turn to mush? Should I just sauté them separate and add them in when it's done cooking?

Any help would be appreciated.

Whew, that's a lot of pressure! I'm hardly an expert, but will try to help where I can. lol
1. If you're at high altitude, it looks like you may want to - this may be useful: https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/high-altitude-pressure-cooking-adustments/.
2. Not usually - it's the size and thickness of what's being pressure-cooked that determines cook time. More here: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/how-to-double-instant-pot-recipes/.
3. No, they shouldn't - in fact, many recipes I've seen will have you sauté them in the pot first and then add the other ingredients before pressure cooking.

Hope it turns out well! Post a pic!

@FoodFreedomNow Dinner turned out amazing! I chickened out and sautéed the veggies separate, but it all came together with ease. As promised I took pics.....

Searing the meat

Sautéing the veggies

All together in the pot

Don't mind the fine china LOL
