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.

Just a silly one but when a recipe, for instance the Rump Thingy above calls for some ingredients to be added later in the cycle, how long does the IP take to get back up to pressure and continue the cycle. Bearing in mind the water (say) is at a near boiling point or would it be simpler to simply boil the potatoes elsewhere?
It comes to pressure really quickly! I am always surprised. Probably 2-3 minutes.
Thank you for the recipes, I like doing new thing,,s. The recipes are great. I li low sodium, and the
three ingredient ones are great !!!! THANK YOU.
You’re welcome!
Hi. I love your site. I am diabetic and must watch my carbs closely. Many IP recipes have rice, potatoes or pasta as a main ingredient but have you ever assembled some of your low(er) carb recipes for us that are “carb challenged”

Hi! Here are some low carb recipes: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/recipes/?fwp_method=instant-pot&fwp_dietary_restrictions=low-carb
I made the Peach Cobbler in my Ninja Foodi. It was really good and really simple to make. I didn’t have to use the oven. I used the Air Crisp feature for 4 minutes to brown it.
Sounds amazing!
Please tell what the air crisper is on the instant pot,?
Thankx
It’s a lid that fits on your IP that is supposed to crispy food. It is made my Mealthy.
Do they make one for the mini?
Not that I have seen yet!
Is it found on amazon and exactly what do I search for
