One Pot Entire Meals

121 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

I’m going to be away soon and taking my Instant Pot, which is essentially going to be my entire kitchen setup while I'm gone.

I'm looking for your absolute best go-to recipes for complete, all-in-one meals that fit a few strict criteria:

Zero vegetable chopping (I won't have a proper prep station or knife setup).

Uses ground meats,stew beef or diced chicken I can get in a grocery store.

Relies on frozen veggies, canned/tinned goods, and simple pantry staples.

Includes a built-in starch like rice, potatoes, or pasta.

What are your favorite foolproof recipes that won't trigger the dreaded burn notice and can be made start-to-finish right in the pot? Drop your best ideas below!

Steam valve keeps steaming

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

The steam valve keeps releasing steam, even if it’s on pressure. It’s not a little bit of steam but as if I’m releasing pressure after cooking.

I already cleaned all pieces and I also replaced the silicone ring.

What else can it be?

My IP has nonstick inner pot. Would pot-in-pot work for caramelized onion?

As per title. I have limited selection of appliances where I live, and wanted to buy from a local retailer, so I got a model with a non-stick inner pot.

Pot-in-pot rice comes out great. Would pot-in-pot be a solution for caramelized rice? Is it worth my while and money to buy a steel pot that fits just to try? Or can i use a springform cake pan :D

When I try making onions in the pot, it comes out quite soggy. I tried caramelizing on the stovetop, but it did not really do much, I just ended up with onion jam. It's honestly pretty good! But not what I was trying to make.

Rotten meat mold on my insta pot help

0 Upvotes

Hello, I left pork in a pressure cooker for 3 months outside the refrigerator. It wasn’t my fault, we left home urgently. I don’t know what to do, it’s rotten. I took it out of the house with gloves and a mask, but now I don’t know if I can use it again and I don’t know how to clean and disinfect it. Help me.
