No tomatoes either! Cheap beef (cubed), onion, ancho, cumin, guajillo pulp, other hot peppers (my secret - favorite is Carolina Reaper), at least two cans of Guinness (in the pot) and a long afternoon = real chili. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Someone (not me!) got my wife an Instant Pot for Christmas. Any favorite things to make in it or is this thing going to be some junk that lives under my cabinet for all time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made most of these: https://www.seriouseats.com/roundups/pressure-cooker-recipes and they're all great. The green chiles (the chicken or pork ones, towards the bottom) are both in heavy rotation in our household. It works well. I thought it was a gimmick too, at first, but its pretty useful.

LadySkinsFan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't have an Instant Pot, instead I have a pressure cooker slow cooker combo that also will brown meat. Similar usefulness it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Oster model, which I really like. I use it almost every day for something. Have used all the functions. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OXSR486/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can fit my USA baking pan 13" x9" in there easily. This pan doesn't have any handles on it. Edited to add: I haven't used my apartment oven in the stove at all. It's my pan storage area. I use the Oster exclusively.

They're not always the biggest wings in the world but for 20 bucks, 6 days worth of wings is a pretty good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Sooo...for months I've been craving a decent BLTOC ( the classic with onions and cheese ). And I also know that Waffle House is probably the only place to get one, so that's what I shopped for yesterday, Gonna put em with chili ( I haven't made a batch lately, so I'm gonna spice up a can--WITH BEANS). 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not a Texas thing for me, an always thing for me. One group I worked with, most of the high up managers were from Texas and we had an annual chili contest. Some was so hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Chili doesn’t have beans. If you put beans in it becomes soup. I have this argument with my wife anytime chili comes up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Tomorrow is cornish game hen dinner. Right now it's in the refrigerator finishing the thawing that started yesterday. I have some oil, lemon, and Greek herbs marinate on it. Before cooking, I will split it in the middle, brown the skin side in a pan, then add some potatoes and other things to it, maybe some wine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
