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

Did the maiden voyage with the Ultra 3 quart. Very nice unit, I think I will keep it

Good size for a quick meal for 2.

Well, we did not use the Insta Pot,, or the Crock Pot
I used the Pressure cooker.

We did this as a guess, because it is what we had in the house,
The results would be considered restaurant quality.

I browned a pound of stew beef cubes that had been coated with AP flour. I used some peanut oil in the skillet to brown the meat.

We tossed that, in the pressure cooker, plus;
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cut up carrots
one cup cut up celery
2 cups water
one box of Zatarain's Dirty Rice

We put it on high heat, then adjusted to slight rock of the rocker for exactly 3 minutes.

Everything came out perfect, the rice was cooked, the "Dirty Rice" seasoning was exactly what was needed.

It was one of our best pressure cooker meals.

I guess the Insta Pot would do it, but, I would not know how long to cook it??

Sounds tasty. How did you depressurize the pressure cooker? Let it cool, or cold water quickly?

We just Google instant pot recipes. We use the recipe as stated and then change it to suit our tastes if needed next time.

There are several ways.

I hit it with cold water, it STILL took over one full minute to depressurize,,

He was using a regular presssure cooker (as used for canning).

I do the same but without printed copies there is nowhere to make notes of those changes :shocked:

I need to start printing the better recipes and make notes on the paper.

He is using an Instant Pot. That is the way mine looks like.

I know how to use both an instant pot and a pressure cooker. :laughing:

I was asking which method he used to cool it. :laughing:
