^^the thread that thud posted is a great blast from the past!

I still use my ip's for bone broth, and i still use the phoenix helix bone broth recipe http://www.phoenixhelix.com/2015/03...broth-tutorial/
the only change i make is to use more vinegar--usually a couple of tbsp per liter of water. the bones go softer with more vinegar, so i'm assuming that means more minerals are going into the broth.

the instant pot website is pretty good anymore for looking up cooking times. when we first got our IP, the cooking information was pretty sparse, but it's better now. if i'm not sure how long to cook something, that's the first place i look now.

i especially like cooking things like wings/thighs in the instant pot and then putting them under the broiler to finish them off. sooo yummy and tender with perfect crispy skins.

it's been really handy having 2 of the instant pots.

when i was harvesting from the garden last year, i was constantly running both of them when i was putting up tomatoes or squash or chickens, etc.

i was putting tomatoes thru the IP for 30 minutes (cooking increases lycopene levels) and then running them thru the champion with the tomato plate (picky kids won't eat the skins/seeds) and then freezing them in 3cup blocks. i'm not currently eating tomatoes because they're too carby, but my family loves the homegrown so much compared to the grocery store tomatoes.
