"Well, I thought I was retired. But it seems that now I'm working as a travel agent and personal shopper instead!"

Thanks for keeping an eye on this one!

Too true!

Did you see the thread I started on gift card deals?!?

Any cookbook and/or recipe recommendations for this pot? Comments say the user manual is limited and confusing.

I was thinking about this one.

I like the "dad cooks dinner" website for some recipes. The shrimp étouffée is good. So is the beer stew (cant remember the real name but I use Guinness instead of the Belgian beer) edit: it beef carbonnade.

I bought the DUO a few months ago since my Emeril electric pressure cooker got messed up (my mistake). I cannot seem to cook boiled eggs (steamed) right in the DUO for some reason. They turned out great on the Emeril - peeling was a breeze. With DUO, low pressure for 8 minutes (immediate release) and the yolk is fine (soft and just so slightly gooey), but egg shells stick pretty badly.

Any ideas?

Love my IP. Secret to perfect boiled eggs: 6 min manual, 6 minutes npr and 6 minutes in ice water. Called 6-6-6. Enjoy it, I seldom use my stove any more, other than to broil meat the last few minutes.

Low pressure or high?

Thanks.

I pretty much leave the manual setting on high so high for the eggs. Love the recipe for potato salad, where you put eggs on top of cut up potatoes, and it cooks for 4 minutes! Eggs and potatoes done. So quick and easy.

I do 'em this way:
About a cup of water in the pot.
Add eggs, not so many they're packed too tight.
Manual, high pressure, 4 minutes.
Release pressure, put the eggs in a bowl of ice water.

Ridiculously easy to peel this way.

Thanks. I did 6 minutes on high and release after 10 minutes and the shells came right off. I think I will try 8 minutes high with an immediate release next time (to cut down on the time).

That's weird. When I searched Amazon, I got a different, higher price. Maybe you have to be an anointed Amazon user to get the good prices...

Are you on a Mac?

 

[audreyh1]

I'm on a Mac and saw the good prices. So that wasn't the problem.

 

[Another Reader]

No. Windows 8.

The box arrived. Should take an hour to get it out of the packaging and ready to use. It came when I was out, so tomorrow for the grocery run.

 

[audreyh1]

I just got the box.

I think I'm going to try pork chile verde first. The Dad site has a recipe.

I just ordered the 7 in 1 using Amazon rewards points. So now I have a rice cooker, a rice/slow cooker, and an Instant Pot. I thought I was supposed to be in the decluttering phase.

The recipe calls it "Green Pork Chili". Somehow the idea of consuming green pork is not very appealing.

 

[Another Reader]

OK, what's "The Dad Site"?

 

[Bamaman]

I ordered a Cuisinart 1000 watt 6 qt. pressure cooker at Amazon for $69 2 days ago. It was another great buy.

Had no idea they're such a versatile cooking tool, and that so many people just love cooking in them. We've been crock pot cookers for so long.

But the "child" part didn't bother you?

I'm guessing that was an autocorrect and what you intended was Pork Chile Verde (Puerco en salsa verde). That's a delicious dish, one of my favorites, and I wish you luck.

 

[audreyh1]

Don't blame me for stupid auto corrections!

This one - although I'm going to do it more with a tomatillo salsa rather than green chile. http://dadcooksdinner.com/2016/02/pressure-cooker-chili-verde-green-pork-chili.html/

I got the "The Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook" by Laurel Randolph. It has quite a few recipes, but not so many as to be overwhelming. It looks to have a good overview so I can understand this strange device. I have never used a pressure cooker before, although my mother used one. I found it quite intimidating as a child - all that hissing! https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Elec...80436120&sr=1-3&keywords=instant+pot+cookbook cheap on Kindle

Also found this freebie online - http://instantpot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/InstantPot-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-Recipe-Book.pdf

The paperback version is out of stock at Amazon. I think I will order it and just wait for it to arrive.

The freebie is included in the box. I didn't find anything too confusing in the directions. The ring information was a little misleading, once you see it, simple.
