If you hate cleaning it or if cooking something sticky I definitely also suggest the crock pot liners by Reynolds wrap! I live for the Mccormick crock pot seasoning mixes! I bought a ninja foodi that does everything and if it's in your budget it could definitely replace all your cooking appliances! Excuse me….running over to @MeganMarie4u! I love to make Swiss Steak in the crock pot. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the small potatoes because ya don't have to peel them and they don't turn to mush either. Beef broth works better than stock because it won't jell up when it cools down. Try some cabbage in there- to die for! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found this out, on the new one I got. The old one had latches on the ends, that helped seal it. Had a vent hole on top. The new one, just sits on top and I have to put paper towels at both end to catch the spill out. Kinda sucks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are reviews on both and they give ya a heads up on some mistakes to avoid. Yep, there are tons of videos on youtube for recipes for the Foodi. There have been evenings when I've spent a couple of hours going from one recipe video to the next. Some recipes are spot on and others are fun to modify. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 13, 2022 All you people got me SO hungry now! I have been fasting for the past couple of days . I have an instapot. The last thing I made in it was potato soup. Fried bacon drained on a paper towel, herbs I grew from the summer, green onions, a variety of diced potatoes, heavy cream, garlic, green chilli, table Spoon of butter, black pepper, rue made of Wondra flour and chicken broth, and water. Cook on low crockpot setting. Take about an hour to simmer. I today decided to order a seal machine off of Amazon for my left over’s. Because it is next to impossible for me to cook for 1 and I hate waisting food. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sauce really makes bbq what it is. Texas/kc style. Rubbed or sweet and smoky! 🔥🔥🔥 Today I'm doing a basic beef vegetable soup. 2lbs ground beef Frozen or canned carrots peas corn potatoes 1 package Mccormick beef stew mix 1 large can of tomato sauce 32oz beef broth low sodium 1 packet lipton onion soup mix. (If you've never used it.... you're missing out) M&M I just may have to take you up on a few meals (I'm greedy) seriously. I have always had women that have cooked for me, so I only paid attention to slapping/smacking them on the ass and letting them do their thing. Yeah I know, too much info LOL but I miss those days. I am going to try this recipe next week, I have to go grocery shopping. Thank you so much......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does a great job on chilies, most garden veggies, some fruit (which often needs a lemon wash), and even meat. Get a good mandolin for slicing some of your favorites. Imagine zucchini waffle chips marinated in a chipotle sauce.😁 Edited November 13, 2022 by Bit Banger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the process of improving my kitchen for better organization and consider better equipment. You get what you pay for that's for sure. With a foodi or an instant pot they're rather small and mine just sits on the counter. I'm a huge fan of the entire ninja line and it would be so satisfying to have a whole kitchen of their products 🥰🥵🤤 These threads are great and always positive. "feel good" threads are the best!

Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) My original InstaPot was a 6qt model. I then bought a smaller 3qt version. Fits in my trailer better (living in 8’x27’ does not provide a lot of storage space) and it’s enough when cooking for 1 or 2 without a lot of left overs.

Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Just made chicken noodle soup in my foodi! Thin sliced chicken breast sautéed with minced garlic and onion in butter(duh) till chicken and garlic are slightly golden added 32oz chicken broth, 1 small can cream of chicken some carrot chips and pressure cook on high for 10 min. Slowly release pressure for 5min then quick release. Shred chicken. Add wide egg noodles. Pressure cook 3min. Quick release And BOOM! I don't measure anything 😂 salt and pepper and parsley (if you like it stuck in your teeth!) To taste.

Posted November 16, 2022 A potluck, Now, that would be fun!! Just started a pot of pulled pork. Sauce cooked separately. Pork slow cooked with a mix of spices a friend and I have concocted over the years. Homemade Cole slaw, corn bread, cold beer. Life is good. Oh, and her here to share. Just got better. This is fun.

Thank you to all of you!! Sounds like it will be delicious. I do pulled pork in my Ninja Foodi, pressure cooked. It can make it so juicy and tender that the shoulder blade just pulls out of the Boston Pork Butt after about two and a half hours, give or take. Makes for very reasonably priced and delicious meals. Hmmmm...reminds me that I haven't done one in a few months. Edited November 17, 2022 by average1 Forgot something 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
