I broke down and ordered an 8 qt. Instant Pot. There are many cookbooks out. Can anyone recommend a reasonable not fancy one? Any personal recipes would be welcome. |

Not sure why you would need a cookbook either... I just peruse online recipes and there's a whole bunch of stuff on the Instant Pot facebook page. TBH I use mine mostly for stew and chili
I have the 8qt as well When I make beef stew in it here's a tip. Do not cut up the potatoes more than half,, do not quarter them or you'll get mush. And put them in last on top of everything, not in the liquid. Max time under pressure 25 minutes,, and a quick release. otherwise everything gets mushy. When it's done and you remove the lid you can stir and sort of cut the potatoes into smaller pieces at the same time . |

My Duo80 came today. The included 4th Edition cook book is not what I had hoped. |

I'm on the forth use. So far pretty happy. I was thinking that a "kitchen timer" function might be handy. You could set it for cool down/pressure relief time. |

If you like Indian food as much as we do you'll love it even more cooking it in the Indian pot as we call it. Tons of recipes on the internet as previously mentioned. We started with a 6qt and now have an 8qt to boot. |

Taking my first foray into IP cooking for dinner tonight... ribs! Yeah, that cookbook that came with it was not all that helpful, except for the charts in the back. Chuck |

Instruction/recipe book will work perfectly for you. You'll have to adjust the time to allow for the difference normal pressure - 15lbs. and the reduced 11.6 pounds the instant pot uses. That means, at sea-level, add 20% more time to a recipe written for a normal pressure cooker. For ever 1000 feet above 2000feet over sea-level add 10% more time in addition to that 20%. This, of course, is why the instant pots are basically useless at our altitude. By the by, I'm posting a link to their current recipe website. It's a billion, million, zillion, trillion times better than the instruction book which came with mine (I foolishly believed the salesman that it cooked at 'normal' pressure.) Made a lovely gift for a friend in California who cooks with it every day.

The linked Insta(nt) Pot article appeared in today's paper. It recommends some cook books, as the author agrees that the book that comes with the cooker isn't all that thorough.
I think I might try the risotto recipe with one of my stove-top pressure cookers. The recipes seem easily adapted, and I have adjustable pressure controls for my Prestos as well as my Mirro-Matics.

I never used to mind the stirring and adding process for risotto, even as a kid, but since I'm often spinning plates as sole caregiver during Dave's waking hours, I can't count on being uninterrupted while preparing a meal.
I'll give the PC method a try, and adapt the handed-down recipe from my mom. |
