OK, my IP got a good workout this weekend.  The Mister made an awesome Irish lamb stew in it for Saturday night dinner, then I set up yogurt to ferment overnight (using Jersey cow milk - yields a really creamy yogurt).  I made a quasi-Italian wedding soup in the IP earlier today:  sautéd onion and garlic in olive oil, then added precooked Italian style chicken meatballs, chicken bone broth, spinach, and Israeli couscous (8 min under pressure, 10 min natural release).   Had some for lunch, and the rest will be  good for 3 or 4 lunches this week at work.

For dinner tonight, I made butter chicken in the IP - it was a hybrid of the twosleevers recipe and Sam Sifton's recipe (stove top, not IP) in the New York Times.  I thought the twosleevers recipe looked like it would be a little too bland for my taste, so I doctored it up quite a bit using Sifton's approach.  I think I could have just as easily made this in my large Le Creuset Dutch oven as the IP really didn't offer that much of an advantage time wise, but regardless, the result was outstanding.

I made a whole chicken, and then a dozen hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs. Both were delicious.

I really want to make butter chicken now!!

Make it.

The spices in the TS recipe were rich enough for my family and even made my husband sweat, but of course YMMV.

I keep reading this thread even though my IP pisses me off. Maybe if it were smaller.

It might be useful for gathering signals from space.

I almost never use the 6 quart that I own so I'm certainly not going to get a second one!

Now that I have had a little bit of time to experiment, I have *finally* had some successes with the instant pot. Getting perfect rice pretty routinely and the butter chicken was phenomenal. So far though, the biggest hit in our house has been the instant pot bolognese recipe. It's just incredible--far better than any of my stovetop attempts.

Instant pot?

I dragged out the IP after months of non-use and made this: https://kaseytrenum.com/ketolow-carb-unstuffed-cabbage-roll-soup-instant-pot-crock-pot/

It is a deconstructed stuffed cabbage roll soup.  It isn’t specifically low carb, that is to say, it’s a delicious soup that happens to be lower carb. I love cabbage rolls (my mom’s are unbeatable) but they are a PITA to make, so glad I found this recipe. It was really, really good.

My grandma's rolls (halupshes) were soooo good.  I may make this with non-meat ingredients.  Thanks!

Got an Instant Pot for my bday and finally tried it out tonight. Made some hard boiled eggs and the Sri Lankan Coconut Cabbage that someone (Meri?) posted here. HOLY CRAP! This thing is *awesome*! Can’t wait to try more stuff!

I just spent precious minutes searching Yammering for this thread :D

I have made a pleasant instant pot discovery.  Eggs are porous and take on the smells/flavours.  If you make hard boiled eggs in an instant pot that recently had delicious herbs and spices in it, you get deliciously herbed and spiced hard boiled eggs.

I'm going to try this this summer with fresh garden herbs.

OMG...SO FREAKING YUMMY!!!!

I am madly writing down the recipe/s from Two Sleevers, per Rochey's directive, and plan to make butter chicken next. I'm in love!
