After seeing the craze over the Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker, 6Qt, 1000W (updated model)
in the “Food Blog” world I had to check out this device. Was it really as awesome as everyone was saying?
YES, YES, YES!!!!
After playing with it and figuring out how it works, I have been making all kinds of dinners in the Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker, 6Qt, 1000W (updated model) .

And I do love good easy recipes such as my Crock-Pot Pepperoncini Pot Roast, Hamburger Soup, and Citrus Infused, Honey and Jalapeño Chicken Yakisoba…. but the Instant Pot makes cooking even easier!!!!!

June 27, 2018 at 11:43 pmTo pressure cook vegetables and not have them turn-into mush, you can wrap them up in foil and place them on top. However, you’ll lose the flavors of the veggies mixing with the other ingredients. You also could add them ten minutes into the beef cooking.

June 21, 2017 at 4:10 pmThe pot roast was absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great recipe. The potatoes and carrots were a little more done than we like, so next time I will cut potatoes in half and leave carrots whole. Maybe they continued to cook a little more because I had it on keep warm for 2 hrs after cooking? I am new to Instant Pot and this was my first recipe! What a great start! Thanks so much!

June 20, 2017 at 8:08 pm“cook on meat/stew setting for 45 min”. Do I select low, medium or high setting? Thanks. I am making this now and my Instant Pot defaulted to medium and that’s what I went with. Is this what you use?
Thank you!

February 25, 2017 at 8:57 pmI have not purchased an instant pot yet, partly because I don’t have a place for it, but my mother used her pressure cooker a lot while I was growing up. This looks really, really good. Thanks for sharing your easy recipe and thoughts about the Instant Pot.

January 31, 2017 at 1:48 amThis looks ridiculously yummy! I’ve got to try it soon in my IP and I’m going to look for that McCormick sauce packet this week at the store. Girl, you know it looks and sounds fantastic if I’m buying a spice packet! lol!
