Seals 111 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Cup of water. Pound of frozen ground beef on the trivet. 20 minutes then quick release. Ground beef for tacos, spaghetti sauce, whatever. I usually end up needing to pick up someone from rehearsal or practice when I'm in the middle of cooking ground beef in the skillet so this is a perfect solution for me.

Did you buy the trivet separately? I don't remember getting one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I'm calling the trivet, you may call the metal steaming rack that I think comes with all Instant Pots. I like fancy words Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Have you seen the prices of those folding steaming baskets lately, the ones that look like flower petals with holes in them? They used to be about $2 or 3, but now they are anywhere from $8 to $25. I'm wondering if the increase is due to the popularity of InstantPots? I've seen quite a few recipes call for putting items in them that you don't want sloshing around in the liquid below the steamer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't even think they were sold on Amazon yet when we got ours. My wife buys everything on Amazon, but I seem to remember her buying me the IP from some Canadian company.

Stopping by the store is a lot simpler and probably less expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 In the article the author said they though it was better than 2 buck Chuck, but hey. Might be worth a try just to see... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth a try just to see... I saw where people were wondering about using different types/flavors of juice. I guess it would be a fun project and if you don't have a place to purchase inexpensive decent wine it would probably be less expensive in some cases to make your own.

slices 16 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I used to make my own wine a few years ago. I used glass gallon demijohns with an aquarium heater. With this method the yoghurt function works in place of the heater and the vent will release the gases produced. The stuff I brewed was drinkable, I bought juice from home brew shops though not the grocery store. Also I would think with this method you would still want to transfer to a another container for secondary fermentation and filter. It was a lot of effort for 6 bottles of wine, I did do one 30 bottle batch but that's more equipment. I may be tempted to try this for making hard cider, less concern about filtering and maturing.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
