Instant Pot - 1st meal

After the box arrived we had classic beef bolognese. It was spicier than I thought, but very tasty

 Last night was one pot enchilada bowl.

 This was not as spicy as I thought it was going to be and felt very healthy to eat it, though I had lots of sour cream, so maybe not so healthy that way.

 Tonight I debuted the instant pot to make lemon chicken

I started with using the "saute" function as many instant pot recipes seem to start with this. This function seemed to work well. The only difficulty was flipping the chicken. They said to use tongs but that did not work as I tried my regular tongs- maybe they meant the tongs from the accessory pack. I used two wooden spoons. After the saute, I had to take the chicken out to put the water and the trivet in. Then added the chicken and potatoes. They said to cook six minutes per pound. The chicken was 3.5 pounds so I rounded up and cooked for 25 minutes. This seemed to be perfect. Both the chicken and the potatoes were beautifully done. It was a wonderful chicken though I had filled the cavity with lemon there was not that much lemon flavor to the chicken, but it may make for a very good broth that I kept from the bottom. So dish #1- a success! I still need to figure out how to use all my accessories though!
