DD told me she never heard of tapioca pudding! So into the Instant pot the ingredients just went per the Hip Pressure Cooking site. Will report back.

Tasted good as I put it in the fridge! Made tricky carrots from Hip Pressure Cooking too!

Made my first recipe last night - rice -- I think it was called mexican rice -- had brown rice and onions, garlic/cumin/chicken broth/tomato sauce -- fairly successful.  I think it could have used a touch more water - it was a little chewy. 

Today I made 5 hard boiled eggs.  Done in 7 minutes.

Both were fun and it's not nearly as scary as I thought it would be.  I watched a youtube video or two before I got started.

Looking forward to all your recipes and hints and tricks - this was a great buy!

I made Chiipolte cofee short ribs last night, 45 min high 15 min natural release. They were tender as could be.

IP Fail #2 = yogurt. Never formed, just stayed warm milk. I've made yogurt in a traditional yogurt maker over a hundred times without a problem.

So far, I am very unimpressed by this thing. As a slow cooker, it turned my food into a wet, flavorless mess. Soups and stews have worked, but the IP doesn't save me any time over the stovetop method.

Sorry guys, thumbs down.

So weird, every attempt at dairy yogurt has been a success for me. What did you do, exactly, and what did you use as your starter? Did you use low fat milk?

Whole milk, used yogurt from my previous batch as a starter. Heat up milk, cool to 110-115 degrees, mix in my starter, yogurt setting at  9 hrs. I ended up with warm milk.

We got one for Christmas.  I made roast beef yesterday and tonight I cooked frozen chicken tenders, then steamed whole carrots and tamales afterwards, while the chicken warmed on top of rice I made in our rice cooker. 

So far so good.

I wonder if the milk was not cooled enough?

The IP wasn't keeping it warm enough.

I would contact IP about it! I usually do mine overnight, so it ends up being around 12 hours.

On the West Coast the IP to turns yogurt into milk.  It's the counter-culture.
