mini mania: butter chicken, freckled rice, 3qt adjustments & times!

[view this email online]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [logo] We're about harnessing flavor from natural ingredients with pressure – no processed foods, just whole ingredients! And, no waste, either. If a recipe doesn't give consistent results, we won't publish it.. [more](  ---------------------------------------------------------------  the latest ... Dear Hipster Cooks, This month I've put together an entire article and recipe series to explore the differences, limits, and benefits of using the Instant Pot MINI - or really any 3qt/lt sized pressure cooker. The recipes have been tested to work in a cooker of any kind and size but were filmed using the MINI to let you see how much (or little) food can fit inside. One of the recipes, the Butter Chicken, was inspired by a question I saw about on the Pressure Cooking Reddit - from a frustrated cook looking for advice on getting flavor from the frozen chicken breast using the pressure cooker. I was already preparing a chicken recipe for this series and decided to use the ever-popular frozen chicken breast. The recipe describes what elements keep the meat moist and flavorful along with addressing the flaws in popular Butter Chicken recipes. So, even it doesn't sound appealing, you might find some useful info there to use in creating for your own recipes. Lastly, the Pressure Cooking Times tables have had a major revamp with the addition of cooking time specifically for the Instant Pot MINI - and other lower-pressure electrics (details on the changes, below). Thank you so much for your continued trust and support! Ciao, L --------------------------------------------------------------- [easy instant pot butter chicken - from frozen chicken breast]( [VIDEO: Easy Butter Chicken Breast - from frozen!Â]( Juicy, tender and succulent chicken breast bathed in a thick flavorful sauce that's easy to make in the pressure cooker?!?! Believe it! It’s not easy to get good results frozen (or even fresh) chicken breasts in the pressure cooker. Usually, because the chicken breast meat is so tender and lean, the meat cooks too quickly -infamously turning chicken breast into stingy meat tassels.

Instant Pot MINI Pressure Cooking Times Added]( We have updated the time chart to include the pressure cooking times for the Instant Pot Mini, which operates at a lower pressure than most other electric pressure cookers – while this is not a big deal for most foods, the difference in cooking time is most noticeable for dense, tough foods such as beans, whole grains, and frozen foods. The pressure ranges have been added to each column in both psi and kPa – this is because some user manuals will only state the cooker’s pressure using those units. Keep in mind that, regardless of whether your pressure cooker is electric, or even an Instant Pot, its operating pressure that will dictate the cooking time of foods in your pressure cooker.  [pressure cooker frozen meat]( [How to Pressure Cook Frozen Meat]( We’ve all got a frozen block of meat tucked away for a rainy day dinner.
