Cooking Diary: Instant Pot or other Pressure Cooker

[TdeV]

I'm interested what different people do to record their cooking adventures.

My first cooking diary was for sous vide (see TdeV's Sous Vide Diary) no doubt egged on by @rotuts.

 

Binder Title: Instant Pot Diary

Index to sections: 15 tabs, mainly large groups of food which do well in the Instant Pot: beans, potatoes, rice, other grain, meat, soup, stew, one pot meals, vegetables, dessert. 

Section: The Bean section (includes beans, cowpea and lentil) have notes of my experience, but many items in the binder are actually recipes which I have found elsewhere and modified with my experience (usually in dated notes at the bottom of the original recipe). Note that I appear to have purchased the Instant Pot in Nov 2019, so I do not have loads of experience.

Page(s): Each type of bean gets its own page, the name of the bean becomes the highlighted title. Which contains dated notes about my experiments and experience.

I post the stuff I cook here. And try to remember if I've posted.

I've decided @rotuts is like the Tom Sawyer of eGullet. He gets everyone else to do the dirty work; keeping diaries, taking pictures, posting our meals - while he sits at home roasting coffee and eating the good part of the apple!

@rotuts is "of council"... like a senior partner, full of wisdom with no need to take depositions

Well, it turns out that I have one of those famous red pads:

 

I use it for both SV and IP:

 

 

I just flip it - one side is SV and the other is IP.  Just like those 2-in-1 magazines and books.  It lives in the kitchen and is where I keep track of my notes when I'm trying out recipe or trying to create/recreate something.  It's great to have it all in one place instead of scraps of paper floating here and there.  When I've got things where I want them, I make an entry on my recipe webpage for permanent storage.

On the recipe Chicken Nut Puffs  what is “seasoned salt” exactly?

Something along the lines of this.
