I just made some pretty good pulled pork in mine. I have to experiment with the vinegar base a little bit but it fell apart out of the cooker in an exceptionally satisfying way.

4 lbs pork shoulder in 2 in cubes, seared in oil in the Instant Pot

Add base made of
>1 cup apple cider vinegar
>1/2 cup white vinegar
>1/3 cup brown sugar
>cayenne
>salt
>pepper
>hot sauce

Pressure cook for 90 minutes.

As I said, the vinegar base needed something else in it, but overall it was quite good.

Trying to teach my GF to enjoy cooking, and at least stop eating out to save money, was thinking about getting her one of these and making slow cook meals in it a fun thing we can do together. Ideally she'll like cooking more after, and at least learn how to chop veggies and stuff.

If you use that recipe replace half of the vinegar with apple juice. Maybe even 2/3 of it. That's what he needed when he said it was missing an element. I didn't say anything because I dont like his attitude so make sure you dont tell him either because I do not want him finding out.

Really, any braise, stew or soup recipe works fine in a slow cooker. In fact, don't even bother googling slow cooker recipes, just use the regular recipes for the dish. One thing that improves the use of them dramatically is to take the extra step to brown the meat before adding to the slow cooker.

>> No.11186377

I loved it when I had it, but both this and another electric pressure cooker I had just both conked out and stopped working and I could never figure out why. It really pisses me off because I really loved them but I don't think I'll ever get another one. Both had the exact same thing happen outwardly and were different brands. I'm not sure if I was doing something I shouldn't do with them or what.

If you put mustard in it's going to be carolinian style which is great for pork and worth trying but just know that people love or hate it and it needs a bunch help from side dishes to cut through the tang. I love it but only when I crave it and it gets old fast.

Go shill somewhere else, Instant Pot shill. Highest rated doesn't mean there aren't serious quality issues. Again, read the reviews. The Instant Pot is made from cheap materials and there are several photos showing cracking and other failures. For the $99 you'd spend on an Instant Pot, your money would be much better spent on a rice cooker, a pot, and a cast iron skillet for $103.29. That's just $4.29 more. With this you could steam rice and vegetables, make a pot of beans, and sear a piece of meat. Much better than one of these single pot meals. Fuck Instant Pot.
