Lunch for the week, probably more because there is so much. Chicken tortilla soup. I got the recipe from a coworker and tweaked it a little bit. Came out awesome.

Made my twist on the Reuben - rye bread, chipotle aioli (instead of thousand island), turkey, provolone, and sauerkraut, and a salad topped with tomatoes, avocado, and a creamy cilantro dressing.

Very yum. I don't like thousand island, so yours sounds great.

Not a fan of thousand island either. Chipotle works well though. I actually found a chipotle sauerkraut at one of those hippie grocery stores back home, and it’s delicious on sandwiches and on tacos.

this is my first time using a slow cooker. Using a sauce / seasoning mix for pulled pork, but we're using chicken instead. Is it okay that the chicken is not completely covered by the sauce? It's been simmering for a few hours now, I set it on low for 7.5 hrs. It said to cook for 6-8 hours, then add the finishing sauce, then cook another 30 min.

Yes, it's totally fine.

7.5-8 hours cooking and it should be fine.

Creamy cilantro is my jam. I’d eat cilantro on everything.

I'm assuming there's an Instapot discussion buried in this thread. If not, you're doing it wrong.

Highly recommend the instapot

We got the 8 quart one and the wife did mashed potatoes in it the first night.

She has proclaimed that if all she ever does with it is mashed potatoes it is worth the price of entry. Fast, simple and no mess chopping, boiling and draining...

I made white rice in it and it was perfect and done in about 1/2 the time as my rice cooker.

Blam. Marinated pork chops. Sour cream whipped Tates. Some roasted asparagus with a beer reduced glaze.

Good work! +5 points for an effort in plating. Looks delicious.

I’ve had multiple people they hate theirs and that it wasn’t worth it?

I think it depends on what you expect and what you will use it for.

A lot of the stuff I see on YouTube makes no sense, the traditional way is better and not much harder.

This thing is just a pressure cooker / crock pot combo and 90% of the recipes are things I wouldn't make.

Mashed potatoes is much easier though for sure and a lot less mess to clean up. I think finding those items is key, at least in my opinion.

Makes sense. I couldn’t figure out why people were all hyped over it when pressure cookers have been a thing for years? But there are certainly recipes I would use in certain devices. Beef stew in a crock pot, sure, lasagna? No. And have seenplenty of stupid Pinterest recipes telling me lasagna in a crockpot is a great idea.

My feels. I don't get the hype at all. Electric pressure cooker.

apparently a lot of people are afraid of pressure cookers, this dumbs it down and makes it easy-peasey.
I was not one of those people, but the wife was/is.

The thing is pretty sweet it made bomb ass pork shoulder that took like 6 hours in the oven in under 2 hours start to cleaned.
