Instant Pot is an all in one: a pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, saute pan and food warmer. I have the small 3 quart Instant Pot and I don’t use it for a lot dishes but I do like for the following;
Hard Boiled Eggs
– Prepare the Instant Pot by adding a little water to the pot and placing the steam rack on top.
– Place the eggs on the steam rack and secure the lid.
– Select Manual and cook at low pressure for 6 to 7 minutes (I do 6 minutes because I like a little softer hard boiled egg.
– Once cooking in complete, use a quick release. Let the eggs cool for 30 seconds then immerse in ice water.
Long Grain Brown Rice
– Turn Instapot on Saute, drizzle a little olive oil on the bottom
– Add 1 cup of brown rice and a pinch of salt – stir to combine
– Add 1-1/2 cups of water to the pot – stir
– Secure the top, cancel saute and select manual pressure.
– Select high pressure for 18 minutes.
– When cooking in complete use a natural release.
Steel Cut Oats
