Why would you make something you don;t eat/need?

Hoping the family will eat it and see what it was like to make yogurt as I never made it. DD often eats yogurt and eats it at school and I guess I could put it in my smoothie.

The refried beans are a success, DD LOVES them. It was so easy. I had to put it back on a few extra minutes to get the beans cooked thru, but that could be just old beans. I just bought them today, but that means nothing, they were on a bottom shelf at the store :D I threw everything in the pot and after 28 (+5) minutes, i used a potato masher and mashed them to the consistency we like (chunky). To go from uncooked, dry beans, to refried in a little over 30 minutes? SUCCESS! As you can see, I am really loving the instant pot :D

I cooked beans from dry in about 35 minutes. I think I'll try soaked next time but still impressive

what kind of beans? That is VERY long for a pressure cooker, unsoaked.

Cannellini. I checked then at 25 and they werent totally done so i put them back in for 10 more minutes.

I have noticed that things don't seem to cook exactly evenly.  Some where almost done and some weren't.

Did you have enough water in the pot? That could cause it. I wonder if the beans were old, that seems like a REALLY long time.

Also, something I have to be aware of in the IP is the gasket. In my stovetop pot i never mess with it or mind it, but in the IP i find if i am having an issue, it is because the gasket is not on completely 100% properly, so I have to really get in the habit of checking it every time (this includes when i take it off, adjust food, and bring it back to pressure, esp in multi step recipes) because I think that was the root of my problems.

I used the instand pot table here: http://instantpot.com/cooking-time/dry-beans-legume-and-lentils/ Which several people in the comments said their beans took even longer. But, maybe water is the issue? I used 2 cups and it came up to pressure within a couple of minutes. I also did npr.

I looked at the chart I use and it is not far off, though mine seem to cook a little faster than those times. I have only done garbanzo and black in the IP so far.

I made steamed salmon again and it tastes good. It also takes only two minutes.

The cheezecake is not bad, could be a bit more sweeter and a bit more lemony. I made a coconut hazlenut crust.
