InstaPot

The InstaPot cooks stuff fast.  Here's directions for some of the more usual stuff we do.

Sausages

  • These are the pre-cooked Johnsonville-style sausages. 
  • You can cook as many as will fit at a time.
  • Normal water amount
  • Thawed: High pressure for 15 minutes, then quick release
  • Frozen: High pressure for 20 minutes, then quick release.
Spaghetti Squash
  • For making 'vegetable spaghetti'
  • Cut squash in half the short way, so you have two bowls.
  • Normal water amount
  • Place squash in pressure cooker.  Which side is up doesn't matter, though i prefer open side down so I don't have to worry about spilling hot water when taking them out.
  • If both sides fit in at once, do it.  If not, then do half at a time.
  • Normal Pressure 7-9 minutes (7 if you like 'al dente', 9 if you like mushy.  I like 8), then quick release
