Instant Pot Question

eddyandme — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 17:01:33 GMT

If I half a recipe in my IP, do I half the cooking time?

I just got the new IP cookbook and thought I'd make something healthy - spicy black beans. The recipe calls for 2lbs - that's a lot of beans! Imagine if I froze half of the beans they'd probably be soggy once defrosted. That's why I want to half the recipe.

Your advice would be appreciated!

@eddyandme No, cook the regular time.

@eddyandme Which cookbook did you get. I'm looking for a "good" and "helpful" one, but there are so many out there. As soon as I think I've found one, the reviews are so mixed -- not enough pics, recipes don't turn out right, etc. Any suggestions from anyone would be helpful.

Just rec'd from amazonsmile: The Ultimat Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Cookbook by Ella Sanders. I believe it sold out on QVC and wasn't on waitlist.

Just got this one so can't tell you how good it is. There's 200 recipes, seems for 4 - 6 servings mostly. The black bean recipe I'm gonna try first 'cause have a pound and this only takes thirty minutes to cook with ingredients I have on hand!

I was loking for yogurt recipes but none. Lot of good-looking dessert recipes though I might try. Actually, imo, getting hungry skimming thru this book. No reviews yet 'cause it just came out.

If you purchase it, @coffee drinker, hope you enjoy it!

@eddyandme You are NOT being rude. I never heard of Amazonsmile dot com and will have to check it out and remember when I order something from them. Wish I knew sooner because I bought something earlier this afternoon. There's always tomorrow. Thanks.
