Episode notes
Practice With Rice Before Main Dishes
- Start with simple side dishes to practice Instant Pot basics.
- Cook rice (1 cup rice : 1.25 cups water, 17 minutes for brown rice) to learn buttons and pressure behavior.
Make Mac And Cheese In One Pot
- Use one-pot pressure-cooking for mac and cheese by cooking pasta then stirring in dairy.
- Pressure-cook pasta ~4 minutes, quick-release, then stir in cheese and cream (saute to finish if needed).
Partially Thaw Big Cuts To Prevent Rubbery Meat
- Thaw large or thick cuts a bit before pressure cooking to avoid rubbery results.
- Use microwave partial-thaw for big breasts or roasts; smaller pieces like frozen tenders work well straight from frozen.
