    Hi Karen. Australia here. Loving my instant pot.
    Loving your recipes, mind you, I often need to
    Google just what a particular ingredient is. Iโ€™m learning how to improvise. Success so far. I am no longer scared of it. Cheap cuts of meat taste
    awesome, curries, casseroles soups. I even cook
    for my Rottweiler in it. He no complain.
    Your site is amazing. I mainly need to look up the correct times to set it on & then off we go. I did find I was over cooking things so I have learnt to adapt the cook time to the cuts of meat.
    Thankyou.

    I had my InstaPot for two months before I attempted to use is. I scoured the internet for recipes that looked like something I and my family would like. I stumbled upon your site and have never left. I have made so many delectable dishes of your and shared the recipes and your site with others. I love that you include step by step directions for every dish. Your site gave me the confidence to use my pot. I thank you and so does my family!

      Tortilla soup is easy and tastes awesome! I put all the ingredients in the Pot together, then remove the breasts when done and shred them with my hand mixer…. a saw that tip online as well. Itโ€™s so much easier and faster than using two forks. Add the shredded meat back to soup and serve in bowls, top with cheese a side of chips and guac… YUM! Basically, itโ€™s enchilada sauce, chicken, chicken broth, black beans, corn, canned diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, spices, Once you get used to the IP, youโ€™ll know how to alter every recipe to work in the pot.

    I would love the 6 quart instant pot. My husband has a regular pressure cooker with the jiggler on top that cooks on the stove. Itโ€™s fairly new but would love for him to have an electric instant pot.

    I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your site. I love the fact that you give instructions for the slow cooker for those of us that have not gotten on board with the Instapot trend (still not totally sold LOL). I love your pictures and want to ask if you take your own pictures or have someone do them for you?
