I primarily use mine to make rice, beef stews, and hummus.
All of those take less time and are just as good if not better than stovetop.
Once I made shawarma in mine, that was pretty neat.
- pessimizer 3y agoYou use it to make hummus? Is there a good recipe that you use, or are they just floating out there?
- nvy 3y agoI have one from my sister-in-law, that she got from her (Israeli) partner's grandmother, which is a very traditional Israeli hummus recipe. That recipe is for stovetop and I adapted it to the instant pot. The trick is to use baking soda when you cook the chickpeas in the instant pot, because it dissolves/softens the shells. Then you take them out and rinse thoroughly in water to get rid the baking soda taste, before slapping them into a food processor with tahini and whatever else. Good quality tahini also makes a difference. Lots of north American brands have a wildly different taste than what's common in the middle east.
