What Pressure Cooker Do You Use?
I use a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

I have 4 round steaks, and I was wondering if you have any recipes for them, in my instant pot. I just recently discovered your site, and so far the recipes all look delicious. Thank you in advance.
