Gina, could I see your basic egg bites recipe, please? I got the silicone egg thingy, but I'm not sure of volume. I didn't make my weekly frittata, and Frank is missing it so egg bites it will be!Quote:

6 eggs, 1/4 c cottage cheese, 1/4 c shredded cheese, 1/8 c milk, 3 pieces of bacon chopped, small handful of spinach chopped and salt and pepper to taste
I start with a cup of water in the IP on saute so it boils. I put everything in a blender except for the bacon and spinach and blend. I do a quick wipe of butter in the silicone tray. Then a pinch of spinach and bacon in each tray. Blend your ingredients and then pour into the trays, I pour to the top and sprinkle a little Nature's Seasoning but you could just use a little pepper. Then I place the tray on the trivet and lower it into the pot. Cancel the saute and then hit the steam button for 7 minutes. I NPR for about 10 minutes. I'll go over to tapatalk and add a picture.

@Gypsy, Thank you, that will be perfect! They look yummy! I have no cottage cheese, but I will make it work :)
I made these this morning, and though yours were prettier, they were delicious! Frank loved them. I was too lazy to shop, so I had to use ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and a bit of heavy cream instead of milk, but they still came out nice and fluffy. Thank you!Quote:

So, did you Instapot owners get rid of your rice cookers, crock-pots, bread machines or did you keep them?
I still do rice on the stove, I never had a rice cooker, but I usually have other stuff in my IP so it's just easier. I don't think I'd use my crock pot or bread machine ever again, I really love my IP!Quote:

I think I will keep my big ass crockpot as there are a few times I need to feed a crowd.Quote:

I'm debating whether or not to give away my good blender as I have a silly Magic Bullet now that does what I need. I also have a really nice toaster that I have no use for now!
I don't have an Instant Pot and am thinking about getting one. BUT as I have a fabulous Cuisinart Roaster/Crock Pot, and a pressure cooker I am comfortable using, plus a rice cooker I am not sure yet about spending more money for another appliance.
I gave my wonderful blender to my daughter and just like Chrissy I have a great Cuisinart Food Processor (that I keep on a bottom shelf because it is so heavy) and that I never use! I really should give it to someone who would enjoy it.
If I get an Instant Pot I am afraid it would just get added to the other appliances that I have (and 3 of the I use). My kitchen isn't that big and I have been trying to pare things down!
I just don't know what to do so I will not think about it today or I might go crazy. And after all tomorrow is another day.
Interesting article in the business section of today's Seattle Times about the guy who invented the Instant Pot:
https://www.seattletimes.com/busines...hen-phenomenon
My sister-in-law was thrilled with the mini Instant Pot I got her for Christmas! I had enclosed a print-out from an Instant Pot blog I found with some user-friendly tips for
the first-time user.
I gave my daughter a mini Instant Pot for a Christmas gift, seemed trendy. We haven't had time to start working with it. I'd like to see the blog if you can remember it.Quote:

Made this broccoli cheddar soup yesterday. Very easy and so quick, and perfect for a freezing frigging day.

So cute! Someone has a head for business. Just like the person who invented those little jewels (buttons?) that people put in the holes of their Crocks.Quote:

What a beautiful soup! I had to look it up, as I have heard of it but never actually seen it anywhere. It sounds absolutely delicious and it has a neat history. Yum!Quote:

And so healthy! I bet that number includes all the carbs. For Keto, and lots of the low carb diets, you subtract the fiber since your body doesn't process it the same way, so it doesn't turn to fat.Quote:

Yup, that's how we do it for Keto. When you are staying below 20, every tenth of a gram counts haha. But, it makes sense to me because of the way the body processes it. The carbs in this soup come primarily from the tomatoes, carrots & onions, and those do turn to sugar unfortunately. A good rule of thumb is that any vegges that grow below ground have more carbs. And fruits are loaded, and tomatoes are actually a fruit, dammit!Quote:

Yep made a pork loin roast in the pressure cooker on Sunday - on Monday made a stir fry with the left overs. I do like my pressure cooker.Quote:

If the person ever comes over to eat some of her pressure cooking they wouldn't go and stare at the pressure cooker anyways and would just be happy she was using it.

Made a pork loin last weekend..was ok, moister but not as tender as slow cooker...Then put the rest back in and made pulled pork, did a great job of that.
Today I cooked down some Rhubarb to use in a muffin recipe...did a great job of that, 5 min...then for lunch threw in a pack of Yakasokba Noodles some stir fry Vegetables and some shrimp in, 4min and it was really good. I would do that again the vegetables stayed in tact better than when I stir fry....Doing a Turkey Breast for Dinner...So far like my fake insta pot
I have been mostly using the IP for prep the last couple of weeks. I've been throwing in 2-3 pounds of boneless chicken thighs or breasts wth some seasonings to have some proteins ready to go. I also did a bunch of Italian sausage in there, but I should've taken the time to brown them first. But it is really easy to get simple things ready for the week to thrown in salads or sauces.
Hey @sondor, how was turkey breast? I'm thinking I want to get one next time I shop and give that a try.
It was good, may have cooked a little too long as it was not as juicy as I had hoped. I did not brown it so the skin was soft but we don't eat that anyway. Just for the speed I would use it for that every time and try a little less time....still nervous with undone food since it cooks so quicklyQuote:
