Hints for Instant pot

sillyme673

As title, do any of you clever people have any hints and tips and recipes? I brought one and it has been sitting gathering dust in my cupboard.
I like a gadget :cool:
Please help, pretty please?:j

Last Sunday the shopping channels seemed to be selling these things wall to wall. Thought at the time who'd be silly enough to buy a pressure cooker with added complexity but little extra functionality other than when it goes wrong you have to throw it away?

Anyway apart from hopefully learning a valuable lesson I assume it'll be O.K to use standard pressure cooker recipes. If so I've found some useful tips/recipes here...

I've never cooked any actual recipes with mine but there are loads on here.

instant pot has a Facebook page with recipes that is well worth looking at.
I had to google it (I'd never heard of it!) but it looks good, will have to research more.

I think having a pressure cooker that's also a slow cooker is more than "a little extra functionality". Even if you don't use its other functions (I regularly saute in mine), that a good bit of space saved on your kitchen worksurface.
