@ianpspurs Hi. yes it is a low carb version and we have it quite often as my mother use to make it often when we were kids. I will find the recipe for you. Have to be honest here, my husband does a lot of the cooking

Do you have a low carb version or just go for it as a treat?
We are going to try cooking a frozen breast of lamb in the IP as a tester for how useful it may be. We have found hints and tips on the internet. Any tips from members who have more love for the IP than I have yet to muster would be appreciated.
Our start point is this link

All seems sensible but thought I would ask. If this turns out OK I may grow to like the IP a little - does make good bone broth.
Thanks for the reply. The meat is rolled and we only want to cook it as meat no recipe per se. Lamb breast turns out to be a good choice for a start as it is cheap and nasty as they say. We had read the tip on natural pressure release but thanks. I have quite low expectations so am very unlikely to be disappointedAlways, always, always do a natural pressure release. Using a fast pressure release can lead to tough meat. Is your lamb breast rolled, or a slab? .

We didn't have the IP last winter. Winter is where we think it will be most useful. What is in keto chilli - I will google it but we have had some total nightmares with any recipe having a keto prefix.My keto chilli is doing its thing at the moment, and also have a long infusion doing nicely in the SV, with another couple of hours to go.
Did you have your pot last winter? I love it for super-quick-soups from whatever's hanging around the fridge and some decent stock, or lobbing a couple of frozen chicken joints in with some spices and see what comes out.

Thanks for that. We will need to adapt as Mrs P would find it way too spicy. I would be very happy - anything with tomato and onion is perfect for me. Therein lies another problem - I could/would eat that combo most days with plenty of garlic and meat but Mrs P does not like such dishes.It's this one here: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-chili-in-crock-pot-or-instant-pot-paleo-gluten-free/ It's a lovely, meaty brew. Sometimes Ip recipes can end up a bit "wet", but, so far this one has always been very chunky and thick.
Wow @Goonergal. I can't really visualise the actual portions but I instinctively imagine that food list as a light snack. Granted, I am 2.5 stones heavier based on your signature but I am full of admiration for anyone able to thrive on that level of food. It certainly makes me reassess my bg targets. I salute you for thriving on that intake.Hi all. A bit off the rails last night and today. Not planning on dinner - off to Pilates shortly, which should distract me from thoughts of eating.

Edit: Seems to me that the sous vide is the perfect solution here - I can seal my tomato/onion garlic version separately. Problem seems to be I like strong flavours from those and they would have highish carbs which is why I have tended to avoid this type taste and I really miss that.
Thanks for that. I would definitely go for shoulder of lamb. Leg of lamb is really not for me I couldn't be convinced I would ever find it enjoyable. I do like shoulder though - same with porkThis is rather subtle: https://www.copymethat.com/r/pU3Aje6/keto-beef-shin/ I have done this in the pot several times, using a bit less fluid (or it ends up watery). I've used both shin and cheek.
This is yumtastic, with leg or shoulder. I've done it mainly with shoulder, as leg we'll tend to slow roast: https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/pressure-cooker-7-hour-leg-of-lamb-in-90-minutes/ Obviously, it's quick and of course the beauty is not having to keep an eye on it

I tend now - learnt from experience- to take emergency snack pot with me when not sure. Things like nuts / high % choc or cheese etc. Usually things that won’t spoil if not eaten while out. You can also buy commercial low carb bars like Adonis that you can stick in your bag.Breakfast - low carb toast and peanut butter. Tea.
Daytime was a bit of a disaster - went out pre holiday shopping and didn't think ahead so found myself surrounded (again) by coffee shop chains full of carbs. I'm not diabetic (only just prediabetic) but felt right out of sorts confronted with all kinds of things I've been trying to avoid because I don't want to DEVELOP type 2.
The least awful thing was a full fat yoghurt granola pot and a hazelnut milk cold brew latte. Must think ahead! Husband doesn't really understand what foods contain carbs (his nutrition knowledge is dreadful generally) and didn't understand why I didn't want crisps, pastries, cookies etc.
Anyway on the way home we stopped at services where ther was an M&S so I bought two packs of chicken pieces and a pack of chilli prawns and scoffed one of each.
Dinner - home made chilli with tiny portion of brown rice, Halo Top and SF jelly. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
