I just had some for breakfast.

 

Kinda wish I had some leftover potato salad for breakfast.   There's just one potato in the cabinet.  I guess I could make a small serving xD!

Wow @Shelby

 

  You are out doing us all with your finesse and the Instant Pot. I feel positively left in the dust.

I know exactly how that feels. I have even been on the Costco site but escaped without placing an order (since I am not a member I'm not even 100% sure that I could.)

Buffalo wings...disclaimer these are NOT crispy but they are fall off the bone yummy!

1 cup of water in the IP, spiral wings and drums on the trivet after salt and peppering them.

 

Cook on Manual high pressure for ten minutes.
Mix 1/2 cup of Frank buffalo wing sauce with 2 TBS of butter
Quick release wings and toss in sauce

Put wings and drums on a foil lined baking sheet and broil 
Serve with carrot sticks and ranch...feel the meat slide off the bone :)

I make these...well, too much lol.  They are SO good.

 

I actually fry mine first....soak wings in buttermilk...dredge in spiced up flour...quick fry in oil.  Put in the IP and brush with the butter/Franks and do on high pressure for the same 10 mins.  SUPER good.

Does it stay crispy Shelby? I find these ok(actually good) considering I don't have to bread or fry them. But its more flavourful and tender meat then a crispy buffalo wing :)

Beets from the garden, the long kind.  6 oz each.  Halved lengthwise and put on the rack.  Two cups of water.  Hi pressure x 25 minutes with quick release.  They are quite soft.  Probably 20 minutes would have been plenty.

Over on hippressurecooking.com, I saw a recipe for Hasselback Pork Roast with Apples, Coppa and Sage.  Looked and sounded really good but also really wintery.  Instead I made this.  

Hasselback Pork Roast with Peaches, Prosciutto and Sage:

IMG_3525.jpg

The first step was to brown all sides but after I took it out of the Instant Pot and removed the string and skewers, I thought it could still use a little cosmetic work so I brushed the top with some ancho chili jam (too bad there was none of last year's peach and jalapeño jam) and popped it into the Cuisi steam oven for a quick broil.  Not at all the sort of thing that I would usually cook but I figured it would make some nice sandwiches so it shouldn't go to waste.

DISCLAIMER I eat meat normally but I'm always trying to find new things to make in my IP. So hello seitan. I have never eaten it before but I had to make it: 

 

I have made MEAT! Holy shiza I'm shocked how good these turned out. Don't get me wrong these are not greasy donairs! But they are good and I made it in my IP!

To make the Seitan:
In a small bowl mix wet ingredients:
1/4 cup of finely chopped onion
2 cloves finely diced garlic cloves
1 TBS Tahini 
2 TBS Ketchup
1.5 TBS Worsershire Sauce
1 TBS BBQ sauce, smoke or two drops
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 TBS Magic Mushroom Powder *google nom nom paleo for it*
3/4 cup of water.
Mix well
In large bowl combine:
1 1/4 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
4 TBS Nutritional Yeast Flakes
Add wet ingredients. Mix until gooey and the dry has come together, I used a spoon.
Knead for a few minutes until its smooth ish. Add more water or Wheat gluten until it feels right.

Spray with oil a small tinfoil loaf pan *spread it and shape it to fit your IP*
Press Seitan into the loaf about one inch thick.
Add 1 cup of water to IP
Place loaf of seitan on trivet
Manual High pressure for 30 minutes *I went shopping and left it on NPR for 1.5 hours* Its not neccessary to do this and go shop ;)

Heat up a grill pan or your bbq
Slice meat about a 1/4 inch thick, quite thin if you want crunchy.
Brown in oil on both sides to get nice grill marks

Donair Sauce 
6 oz of evaporated milk
2 tsp or more white vinegar
2 tsp sugar or to taste
2 tsp ground garlic
Whisk and slowly add the vinegar until desired thickness

Add chopped lettuce, sliced onion and tomatoes to a pita bread, 'meat' on top , add donair sauce and be amazed

It is not as good as donair meat but interesting as hell. The thinner you slice the meat before you grill the crisper/crackerish (not quite baconish) it gets.  I had the day off, this is what happens:

 Coconut rice, teriyaki drumsticks and baby bok choy. Rice and chicken done sequentially in the instant pot. Baby bok choy quickly blanched in boiling with some oil added (thanks to @huiray  for the blanching technique).

Basmat Rice II :

 

one rounded cup Tilda , rinse rinse rinse , soak , drain

 

IP:  one cup water ,  2 min HP, 10 minute release 

 

exactly the way I like rice.

 

still can't say if soaking elongates.       but  2 + 10 is a painless and quick way to cook ( basmati ) rice

 

no pic.  rice is rice.

 

Im close to being done with my bag of Tilda.

 

Ill get the more expensive ( recommended by many at my IndiaMart ) rice next and make both and see.

Thanks for that rice information, rotuts.  I tried the rice cooker function last week for the first time: jasmine rice, using the standard program; mixed in with other sauteed ingredients (shrimp, garlic, I forget what else) for a 1-pot meal.  It seemed the rice was a bit gummy until I fluffed and mixed it with the rest of the ingredients.  Overall it was pretty good, but I can tell that guidelines for rice cooking times will be helpful.

I cook rice on manual.  this is not to suggest its the best way. except for  ' Soup ' I use manual.  mostly because I could not figure out what

 

' Rice etc" dioes.

 

for jasmine rice   " Hip" suggests "

 

rinse , rince , rince , drain.   1 1/4 C Jasmine rice    1 minute cook HP   10 minute release.

 

if you leave the cooked rice in the IP  some will stick to the bottom, but it cleans up nicely after a soak .
