It's not a super active thread but if you post and ask questions and stuff people will reply. technically its a "pressure cooker" thread so we get a few of the old school types too.

Too much fuckin' eggnog


My pressure cooker isn't an instant pot, and it's possible that my cooker would work with 45 minutes. I know I tried 30 minutes and it wasn't long enough, so I just doubled it and liked the result so I kept doing that.

I do 75 instead of 60 when I add veggies because I guess that made sense the first time I did it? The onions are pretty cooked down but I toss in large chunks of carrot so you still have recognizable carrots and a whole lot of onion and carrot flavor in the broth. I just shred the chicken apart and keep it and the veggies in the broth and serve over rice, and it's like a a chicken stew that's been cooking all day.

Well instant pot is just the name. Pretty much all the pressure cookers work the same.

I thought I heard somewhere that some pressure cookers cook at higher pressure than others - I assume that would impact the cooking time. My pressure cooker's timer also starts ticking down the second you close the lid, and I do a fast release at finish, so those also may impact cooking time.

You can use your Costco Rotisserie Chicken carcasses in your Instant Pot to make the best homemade Chicken Stock. Freeze it into large ice cube trays and then dump in a gallon freezer bag and you have on-demand chicken stock with no preservatives whenever you need it.

Literally just finished doing this an hour ago. And while I was jarring my stock, I put that $1.99/lb Costco pork loin in the Instant Pot to make some shredded pork for dinner. Costco has blessed me today.

I buy one of their rotisserie chickens once every week, and I almost always make stock with the carcass afterwards. I end up with so much stock that I can't even store it all and I end up giving it away to friends, or sometimes even throwing it out. Clearly I need a Costco freezer, but I am a poor renter, and I don't want to have to move the thing every other year.

If you have too much stock, just keep reducing it until you get a semi/psuedo demi-glace then freeze it. Even a low effort sorta demi-glace makes pan sauces and stuff really tasty and easy.

Just preppers. 20 year shelf life. $0.50 a serving.
That may sound cheap but regular ol' Kraft mac and cheese from the grocery store is $0.50 a serving.

That's wholesale quantities of generic mac and cheese at name-brand retail pricing.

You can buy boxed Kraft at Costco for $0.40 a serving.

It’s not a bad idea to have 3-7 days worth of food on hand. But between your pantry and freezer most people are probably good for 99% of emergencies.

you could buy ten cans of dinty moore beef stew, or corned beef hash- both delicious white trash classics- and forget about them in the back of the pantry until you go camping or the power goes out during a three day snowstorm.

maybe have some jugs of water too

yeah and also naturally you can go fairly good amount of time (7 days safely) without eating, probably especially goons, without any risk of permanent organ damage. do have shitloads water on hand as it will help as it will flush out ketones and other metbaolites so you can actually go quite a long rear end time without eating if you can keep up the water intake, that's the real problem is not eating and not drinking any water so you can build up some nasty poo poo in your kidneys/liver.

you probably won't have any gas/electricity to cook anything since it'd be shutoff/damaged if there's' an emergency, but you could eat like raw pasta soaked in water and probably cans of beans and tomatoes or w/e, and yeah milk/eggs/cream/cheeses/butter from your fridge are ok to eat raw for a few days (albiet slight risk with raw eggs but it's hugely overstated) and whatever thaws out from your freezer should be fine like normandy blend vegetables raw is will be good.

I did get COSTCO GAS for the first time though. Ran my car so close to empty that my gas light was on. My wife started flipping out on me that I pulled up to the wrong side of the pump. Thanks to this thread I knew it didn't matter and instead I looked like a super husband.

Typically when the light comes on you have a couple gallons left.
