Tonight is [split pea soup](https://smittenkitchen.com/2018/01/split-pea-soup/). Later in the week I’m making [mujadara](https://www.feastingathome.com/instant-pot-mujadara/) and [black lentils](http://iamafoodblog.com/instant-pot-black-dal-recipe/). ---

Oh man, those both look so good! How was the soup? ---

The soup is a staple around here. I add some diced pancetta at the beginning before I sauté the veg. ---

My Instant Pot just broke, I’m waiting for the replacement. I pressure cook beets and chickpeas and sometimes yams (when it is too cold outside to bake on the Q) to add to smoothies. Nothing fancy. ---

Nothing fancy for me: my pork roasts, boiled eggs, and potatoes. Vegetarian chili wouldn’t be a bad idea now that i think about it 🤔 ---

I’ve been on a serious Chinese food kick lately, so my big go-to is this [chicken congee](https://omnivorescookbook.com/instant-pot-congee/) recipe, or sometimes a [chicken fried rice](http://wholeandheavenlyoven.com/2018/05/28/20-minute-instant-pot-chicken-fried-rice/) recipe. When I’m feeling like unhealthy comfort food I usually reach for my beloved [Parmesan risotto](https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/instant-pot-parmesan-risotto/) recipe. I also generally love any recipe Gina Homolka from Skinny Taste posts, and she has a [whole section on pressure cooker recipes](https://www.skinnytaste.com/recipes/pressure-cooker/) now. I think [this one](https://www.skinnytaste.com/brown-sugar-baked-beans/) is gonna get made this weekend. ---

Ooooh those look good, specially the fried rice! I have been making this [mushroom and spinach risotto](https://damndelicious.net/2018/03/21/instant-pot-mushroom-risotto/). I’m always amazed by how well it turns out. And a [beef stew](https://pinchofyum.com/instant-pot-beef-stew) from Pinch of Yum. I do eggs as well; they are so easy to peel for an egg curry if they’ve been cooked in the IP. Those of you who do potatoes, @Dymerej & @apond58 - do you put them in on the rack with some water or what? ---

I chop them up into 1 inch or so cubes and use the basket that comes with it. Keep the potatoes out of the water ---

It’s crazy how much easier risotto is in an Instant Pot. Just as tasty, and WAY easier to make. I’m a big fan of steel cut oats in the IP as well. I use [this recipe](https://detoxinista.com/instant-pot-steel-cut-oats/) but I usually doctor it. A favorite around my house is to add some brown sugar and real maple syrup or cinnamon. The oats take just as long as they do in a regular pot, but I love that it’s fire-and-forget. Dump the stuff in, start it, come back 30 minutes later and it’s ready to eat. ---

I hope this doesn’t go too far down the rabbit hole but what Instant Pot is everyone using? The risotto (both) looks phenom along with the stew, fried rice, soup… I saw this on Amazon - [https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Pressure/dp/B00FLYWNYQ/ref=sr\_1\_3?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1542656769&sr=1-3&keywords=instant+pot](https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Pressure/dp/B00FLYWNYQ/ref=sr_1_3?tag=trainerroad-20) ---

I do the sweet potatoes out of the water with the skin on. I just want them soft to add to my smoothies. ---

Plain chicken to eat as lunch/dinner all week whenever I don’t feel like making something else. Would like to try making ribs in it or something soon ---

I do want to try egg curry, but the fresh hard boiled eggs are so hard for me to peel, is there any way to easy peel the boiled eggs. You know, I always have a party with my friends so we need to prepare many eggs for once. I know there is many [egg peelers,](https://www.cuou.net/how-to-peel-boiled-eggs.html) but don’t know weather they are wroth it. ---

well, I’m waiting for the right moment to make risotto bolongese. [Instant Pot Risotto Bolognese Recipe | Pressure Cooking Today](https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-risotto-bolognese/) Somebody here recommended burrito bowls. The recipe they linked to always burned on my instant pot. I use this one now. [Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls - Tastes Better From Scratch](https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/instant-pot-chicken-taco-bowls/) I think the big difference was just spraying the pot with cooking oil though. ---

The chicken congee looks amazing. But can you do me a favor and take a picture of the recommended serving size of 6g next time you make it? 😉 [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/what-are-people-making-in-their-instant-pot-crock-pot/6045.md?page=2)
