Instant pot?

[Ice Cream]

I like IC's idea about doing corn in the microwave but I haven't tried it yet.  That would work great for me because I'm mostly cooking for just one or two people.

You place then in the MW with the husk, 3-4 min, then turn and another 3-4 min.  Then remove husk and cool.

Hmm, that looks good.  I wonder how it would turn out without the shredded coconut.  I have all the other ingredients.

Now, who needs this??

probably totally fine!

I cook corn like I boil eggs. I get the water boiling, put them in, find 23 other chores to do, and forget them. The IP prevents that and screams at me when it's done.

Two minutes, and the timer on my microwave beeps until I turn it off. I can't accomplish much in two minutes and don't go that far from the kitchen because of it.

So, I finally joined/followed an Instant Pot site on Facebook and have tried a few recipes.  The first ones were pretty safe in my opinion, a roast and also beef bourguignon which is basically a cut up roast as far as instructions go.  But tonight I did jambalaya with Andouille sausage and shrimp.  And the rice went in also.  I was afraid the rice would not cook correctly, but I followed the instructions and it turned out awesome.  I've never made jambalaya period so I can't compare to making it stove top, but I was impressed with the result.

yay!

I have stopped using mine. Never really got into it. Maybe it is because my kitchen is too small it needs to be put in the cupboard.

[diablita]

That's why I haven't purchased one: no space on the counter means I'd be lugging it out and in...and then wouldn't.

[Run Amok]

Mine doesn't live on my counter. But I do use it often enough to lug it in/out. Of course, I haven't cooked a single meal in weeks. And it will probably be a few weeks yet before I do.

[Ice Cream]

Mine isn't on the counter, either, but I use it at least three times/week.

yep

It's a bit of a beast, no doubt.  Our laundry room is basically attached to the kitchen so i can use shelves in there to house stuff.  I bought an extra interior pot and glass lid so even more storage room needed.

So far it's been worth it.  I'll go months without using it and then use it 3 times a week for a month.

So I see them priced from $60 to $160.  Clues? Differences?  Thanks.

Gotcha. I just pulled out my low tech pressure cooker.

I had used a stove top one for 10 years prior to the IP and what I like about the IP is that i do not have to baby sit it and that i can make yogurt in it.
