Topic: RE: Insta-pot uses and recipes

I have one, well I have two - we just recently updated to their newer version from the one they had out a few years ago that was smaller and had less settings. I personally LOVE it. It is one of the few things that stays out on our counter because we use it so often. It can be used as a crock pot but we mainly use the pressure cooker setting. It also comes in really handy at the holidays/potlucks to keep food warm.

I've been seeing lots of post about this pressure cooker called an Insta-pot.  So who's using them? Do you love them more than your crock pot?  What's your favorite recipes?

i just made my version of west african peanut stew . . . . .

brown 2 lbs ground beef . . . place in colander and rinse with warm water to remove fat globs.  Throw into pot.  Add a bag of butter nut squash cubes, large box of mushrooms, coarsely chopped zucchini (2) and yellow squash (3), add water to cover, 4 beef bouillon cubes, generous squeeze of ginger and garlic in a tube, 2 tablespoons of agave (usually gets tiny sweetness from sweet potatoes), a can of diced tomatoes, sriracha sauce to taste, and in lieu of peanut butter . . . 3 heaping tablespoons of pb2 . . . simmer until cooked and thickened.

was going to make a ground beef and cabbage stew but the canada geese were hungry, so i gave them raw cabbage and cracked corn(ran out to the feed store) and had to rethink dinner :)

Topic: RE: My Wish List

I purchased a spiralizer yesterday and used it for the first time tonight to prepare my dinner (zucchini spaghetti).  In 3 words I will summarize how I feel about my new spiralizer...I LOVE IT!  I bought the Farberware Spiraletti.  

My zucchini spaghetti was good for my first time, but there's room for improvement.  My next attempt I will follow a recipe.  I made my own low sugar spaghetti sauce.  It was good.  I bought Adelli's Italian Chicken Meatballs.  OMG, they were delicious and healthy.  I also added fresh white mushroom pieces.
