Substitutions

Less noisy than the old style pressure cooker I used to have several programmable cook methods I must admit have only slow cooked with it a few times myself.

One thing I did do was buy a set of different coloured sealing rings then use a different one depending on what I'm cooking.
 

There's lots on the IP site: https://www.instantpot.co.uk/how-electric-pressure-cookers-work/#

Others may choose to comment, but I love mine.
 
Nope. But then i like the smell of most of the meals I cook.
Someone I know decided to cook goat in their slow cooker. Whole house stank as did she. Apparently it was very nice though.

I cook goat meat in a slow cooker, it smells no worse than cooking other meats like beef, mutton, chook etc.
 
Apparently you can get accessories for the IP? Like a glass lid.
Any ideas what the glass lid is for? And what other accessories there are?

yes. That's right: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=instan...d=1570650331&rnid=1632651031&ref=sr_nr_p_89_1

I use a glass lid when I make yoghurt or clotted cream. It can also be used when in slow cooking mode, as there is no pressure then.

I didn't buy the IP glass lid, as the glass lid for one of our saute pans fits perfectly.
 
I didn’t think we could have yogurt as diabetics?
 
Can I join the IP guild? I love mine - it was &DCUKMod who first recommended it to me and I’ll be eternally grateful. I’ve used the glass lid once when I slow cooked a recipe but it’s used more often as a large saucepan and frying pan lid.

Yoghurt is OK just avoid the ones with added sugar the low fat yoghurts have sugar added to make them more palatable I use Greek style yoghurt full fat.

A good full fat Greek style yoghurt will have about 4 to 5gms Carbs per 100gms and about 10gms of Fat.
I'm extremely carb intolerant (possibly due to being a TOFI), but even I can handle a few BlackBerries, Raspberries or Strawberries in 2 to 3 tablespoons of such Yoghurt without spiking my BG too much. Compare that with not being able to eat even one quite small, raw carrot !
 

Can you eliminate the thickener (corn flower)?
Instead, take out the chicken (so as not to over-cook them)…..then, simmer your sauce down.
I'm telling you the flavor will be intense. After you have the sauce down, add your chicken again to mix it in.

Note: if you're using tomato paste, that should thicken it nicely with this sauce reduction.
