So, That's How to Use My Instant Pot

I got an instant pot a few years ago. Got all excited, couldn't figure out a damn thing on using it. It was right around the time that the craze had started, I had gotten one for Christmas. It was a thoughtful gift but at that same time, I had gotten into more slow cooking. No, not like a Crock-Pot, like, taking my time and braising. Hours of prepping, sub-assembly of ingredients, slow. And delicious. Worth the effort.

But now there was this cool gadget that promised easy and quick meals. “One pot” if you will. Except, I saw no evidence that the result was as delicious as these other cooking techniques were yielding.

So, fast forward a bit.now, there's two small children in my house. I have changed careers, feel like I'm on the infinite precipice of happiness and space. And I finally start using this thing as an effective tool to supplement my cooking. It can make killer rice, as long as you find the right instruction and understand slow release versus natural release versus fast release.

All the food bloggers techniques on using it are confusing as hell. Also, I lost the little steaming rack like instantly because my older son used it as a hat or something.

Anyways, today I used it to make the easiest hard-boiled eggs ever, recipe here. Pure love.

Still finishing up summarizing the amazing conference for women. look forward to that soon. As usual, I'm excited to take all my learning's and continue evolving personally and professionally.
