The meat came out PERFECT. Very nice. Will outline later!!

Funny thing my idea was pretty much like this: https://kitchendreaming.com/instant-pot ... pork-ribs/

Started with country spare ribs. Just enough but not too much fat.

I rubbed them with a spice/herb mix, plenty of dried chilies. Pick you poison just don't over salt.

Allow to sit as long as possible, even a couple hours is better than nothing. 4-5 hours+ ideal. Scrape or leave as much of the dry rub as you like when cooking time arrives.

Saute the meat until brown. I tried the saute feature on the Instant pot. Pretty difficult, it's stainless - needs added oil. It's hot, so watch your meat. If it scorches in the pot, you should stop and clean it out.

Make your moisture blend. This varies from water to exotic sauce. I mixed apple juice, apple cider vinegar, good BBQ sauce and some oregano. Probably around 1.5-2 cups of liquid.

Into the pot. 35-40 minutes. Vent the pressure. Done. Meat just falls off, but has good tender texture. Bones clean. Taste is superb. I was surprised how fantastic it tasted - the sauce flavors infused. Ate too much!

The foodi is about twice as expensive right now, but just like TV's I bet the price will come down. It gives you the addition of an air fryer to get the crispy skin. When my chicken was done I still had to put it into the oven for a little bit to crisp up the skin.

I don't own one, as I already have a high end rice cooker, and a pressure cooker, ....

Most recipes & write-ups say that while it makes meat tender, it's drawback is it can't make things crispy.

Basically, since it's a pressure cooker, it has the same shortcomings they've always had...

Oh, and one of the things I always here is o make sure there's a cup of liquid, to prevent scorching...

They have done a helluva job marketing that thing....they gave a ton away for 'reviews' & giveaways, and between Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook, they've done a great job getting the word out.

All by not calling it a pressure cooker, since people were scared they might blow up....

This isn't an attack, pressure cookers, in one form or another, have worked great since the 1600's, and if this works well, right on!

We do own a high in rice cooker. It cost more than my Instant Pot. We didn't own pressure cooker so fck you.








Haahaaaahaahahaaahahahahaa


Actually I have to say the thing is well made, and the 6 quart unit is well worth the $75 or so. Old school very manual, single wall pressure cookers are stupid. This unit is more than just marketing. The concept of the thick (not kidding) heavy bottom stainless liner is pretty savvy. The controls are awesome. Even the electric cord is heavier than any countertop appliance we own. For now the Canadian company is not cheaping out.

Dude it's pretty obvious you have not touched one and are just spewing.

BTW my mom had a stove top pressure cooker explode when we were in the kitchen - I was around 8. It was excellent! That dent in the ceiling plaster was there for years, my sister only had a few burns, my brother and I only got the shrapnel but not skin puncture wounds. So it's not like it never happened.

Not sure how I'm just spewing...

I said up front I don't own one.

All I said was they did a great job marketing it, I never said it wasn't a worthy or useful product.

I even concluded that I wasn't attacking it.

Now let me go find all the threads you spew on that you have no direct experience with...

hahahahahahaa sorry.....I was a little crabby pre coffee this AM........

No problem...mood & timing is everything...

It's like reading late night posts the next day

Do you have a Zojirushi ?

Yes.

My wife is going to fire up the pot tomorrow. Not sure what she has cooking!

Instant pot is life.

I want an Instant Pot, for certain things. But I've never borrowed the pressure cooker from my mother-in-law to test things with, so I've resisted.

This is great. Funny thing, I knew pretty quick these units are not POS.

Keep yer dick in a vise, Pablo.

I think I have some spiritual connection with that guy. Seems like I even talk a bit like the guy, been to many of the same places, tear shit apart and so on. He's got a shit ton more of smarts than me though.
