Thanks, Sherry!
Just some suggestions: Read the owner's manual! I tore off all the extra translations. Makes it look much more reasonable. This Old Gal has a blog & a group on FB with excellent recipes, but there are a ton of advertisements. Ignore them, the recipes are great. She also has links to accessories for the IP. There is also an Instant Pot group on FB. Read & search; you'll find info! Experiment! It won't explode. ETA: If you google recipes for Instant Pot you'll find lots! |
Thanks so much, Kay!
Pat started a thread also-oops! Is there a way to combine them, or can I delete mine? Sherry |
I can move my posts here so we have one cohesive thread. ;)

Laura, I loved your comment in the other thread that the Instant Pot is a slow cooker on steroids. ;)
I'm using it as a diffuser this morning. It's so dry in the house this morning. I filled the liner 3/4 up with water, added a couple drops of essential oil and with the lid off, set it to steam on medium. |
Thanks again for starting this thread.
Had a hectic weekend with unexpected call to work. Have just opened the big box and pulled out the manual and recipe book. When I looked online I read somewhere that if you are using the bigger 8qt pot then you need to add a bit more liquid. Yet, when I looked at a lot of the online recipes none say whether it is for the 6 or the 8qt pot. I have a big family and was hoping to have leftovers for work. (ha ha ha) Does anyone use the bigger pot? What does a little more liquid actually mean? I am excited to try the water test later and get some recipes picked out so I can shop for food. The recipe book that came with this pot does not make a distinction about pot size for recipes. Also, would the time to cook change? I am most likely overthinking this and that is why I appreciate coming here and asking my silly questions! |
Gladgirl I recommend joining the Instant Pot Community if you are on Facebook. People with the 8 quart can answer your questions. :)
