I've been experimenting with the instant pot to prep some of the repeatable essentials

Pressure Cooking

Eggs (Hard boiled)

Method

1. Perch eggs on the little wire rack, pop in the pot

2. Add 1 Cup (US) / 250ml water

3. Set to Pressure Cooking, High, 4 Minutes, No Reminder

4. When pressure cooking ends, quickly Quick Release the steam, remove the eggs and plonk into cold water to avoid over-cooking

5. Crack open the shell

Fish (Fresh, Atlantic Cod)

Method

1. Place fish (pre-seasoned with lemon) on tin-foil and then onto the wire rack, pop in the pot

2. Add 1 Cup (US) / 250ml water

3. Set to pressure cooking, High 4 Minutes, 5 Minute reminder

4. When pressure cooking ends, allow for natural pressure release

5. Remove from pot

Rice / Grains

Rice (Sticky)

I've been playing the most with this one. Way to many how-to / lifestory blogs on the web about how to get the basic rice done in the Instant Pot. I've landed on this - which is mostly consistent in that it doesn't burn

Method

1. 1 Messure of Rice into the pot

2. 1 Meassure and a bit (think a quarter) of water into the pot

3. Rice setting, 3 minutes, 10 minute reminder, Turn off keep-warm

4. When pressure cooking ends, allow for natural pressure release and wait for reminder alarm before lifting the lid

5. Fluff up the rice now, you can keep it in the pot / turn on keep-warm etc. If it's left in the pot without the fluffing, it won't work well
