Yeah, that happened with mine too. I think because the IP cooks at a higher temp it tends to obliterate vegetables. I was going to try just not cooking it as long next time.

The texture was fine just using a potato masher, except for the skins. Next time I will just use my apple corer/peeler (I forgot I had one because I use it so infrequently) and a potato masher and it will be perfect.

People keep raving about a brussel sprout recipe in the Vegan Pressure Cooker book so I bought some today and if my refried beans cook in time, I will try them, if not, Wednesday night.

oh, report, please!!!

I like the char you get from roasting.  There are some things the IP can't do.  ;)

I was actually thinking about finishing them up in the oven under the broiler or something, but was lazy.

Made hard boiled eggs in the IP tonight. 4 mins low pressure, 5 min NR and then into ice water. They were PERFECT.

How long total?

On the stove I bring to a boil and then cover and pull off of heat and wait 12-13 mins and then rinse in cold water.

So for me it's about the same time wise as stove top. But I always forget to set the time so it's just more convenient.

I tried a sweet potato for the  first time. Wasn't totally done at 24 minutes (split into two) so I nuked it for 3 more minutes and it was done finally.

Huh, mine are usually 13-15 minutes. Splitting in half, 8-10 minutes.

It was probably 12 minutes. It was only 1 cup of water in the IP so it came to pressure fast.

Good to know it's an option.   :)

You store sweet potatoes in the fridge?

I've never had good luck storing onions, potatoes,  etc outside the fridge.  Maybe because the air has so much moisture here? Plus, I have very limited storage room.

Interesting, we store them in a cabinet or under a shelf.

"They" say sweet potatoes stored in the fridge have a hard center and an off taste.

Ok, this is my one gripe about the instant pot. It seems very inconsistent to me. I always do my hard cooked eggs in the instant pot. I always do 5 minutes, quick release, and then cool them in cool water before putting in the fridge. Sometimes they are a touch over done, sometimes a touch underdone but usually fine. This time? The white was not fully cooked and the yolk was total raw. WTF?  :argh: But I have had this problem with cooking other things as well. Sometimes the time that obliterates something barely scratches the surface on the same thing on another day.

I continue to use my regular steamer for eggs. 

The Instant Pot gets used regularly for soups and for salmon here.  I bought a large yam and will try that this weekend.
