I’m new to the Instant Pot community, so I thought it would be fun to keep track of the first 10 recipes I tried and let you know how they turned out.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Boiling water<\/strong>.\u00a0 You may laugh at this, but I was a little freaked out by some of the reviews of people saying they got really hurt while using their steam release valve, so I wanted to just try it out with no food in it first.\u00a0 And it worked great.\u00a0 My first attempt at using the IP worked GREAT!<\/li>\n
  2. Mac & Cheese<\/strong><\/a>. This was my first real attempt at a meal.\u00a0 And we all LOVED it.\u00a0 Very simple–and had ingredients we mostly just have on hand.<\/li>\n
  3. Chicken & Rice Teyriaki bowls<\/strong>.\u00a0 This worked quite well, considering it was only my third thing I tried.\u00a0 You combine all the ingredients (rice, frozen chicken, raw broccoli and raw carrots) and then just turn it on.\u00a0 The only catch is making sure all the rice is going to get covered with the liquid, and knowing that the broccoli will pretty much disintegrate, but I was ok with that. Super easy.\u00a0 At the end you scoop it out and top it with Teyriaki sauce.\u00a0 Nom.<\/li>\n
  4. Pasta<\/strong>.\u00a0 I’ve actually tried a few different kinds now, and each one is a tiny bit different.\u00a0 My favorite to make in there is elbow macaroni, because it’s a little more tough.<\/li>\n
  5. Ribs<\/strong>.\u00a0 This was seriously fun and easy.\u00a0 Only two ingredients: apple juice and ribs.\u00a0 Well, I guess three if you count the BBQ sauce at the end…<\/li>\n
  6. Eggs<\/strong>.\u00a0 This one will need a little tweaking because I apparently like my hard boiled eggs a little more on the dry side, so site I was reading like them a little more “gooey” and I was not thrilled with that.\u00a0 So, I need to test some more.\u00a0 I think it will be 7 min. but I have yet to try that number.\u00a0 I have done 5 and 6 min. so far.<\/li>\n
  7. Chicken Breast<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 I just needed some shredded chicken for our taquitoes the other day, and this worked like a charm! Simply put in the frozen chicken breast and a little bit of water, set to 15 minutes, and done!\u00a0 It does take a little longer to come up to temperature because they are frozen, but I can walk away and do other things while that’s cooking.\u00a0 I call that a win!<\/li>\n
  8. Broccoli & Cheese Soup<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 This was amazing–and very healthy!\u00a0 I even got to try out the “sautee” setting on my pot. It’s close to the amazing soup they serve at Panara Bread, but with waaaaaaaay, less calories.<\/li>\n
  9. Knock off Hamburger Helper. Ok, it’s actually called: Creamy Shells and Beef<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 This was easy and delicious.\u00a0 I definitely prefer this to the box hamburger helper.\u00a0 And as a bonus it makes a lot more too!<\/li>\n
  10. Parmesan Garlic Artichokes<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 This was the first thing that actually didn’t work.\u00a0 I guess I need to do some more research on Artichokes, and how to cook them.\u00a0 I have another ready to go, so I plan to try again this weekend.\u00a0 I’ll keep you posted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
