After 5 months, I finally got brave enough to get my new Instant Pot out of its box and put it to use. The entire family enjoyed the meal (Creamy Italian Chicken with Penne) so I will call it a success! I suppose it may earn a spot in my kitchen alongside my beloved crock pot.
I was so nervous about it. I spent a lot of time online looking for just the right recipe that I hoped would turn out okay (and that sounded like something we’d like) because I was worried if we didn’t like the recipe or if it didn’t turn out that I’d lose my nerve and not try it again. But thankfully, crisis averted! haha
Note: I may have panicked when I changed it from natural pressure release to quick pressure release (as the recipe instructed me to do) when more steam/water than I expected escaped from the valve, but the internet assured me this was normal. *Whew*
