Instant Pot Egg Custard

I adjusted this recipe in the following way:

1 cup milk (have only tested with 2% fairlife)
2 eggs
sprinkle salt

and 2.5 tbsp sugar or substitutes (have done 1 tbsp swerve w/ 5 drops sweetleaf stevia toffee. Wasn't quite sweet enough)

use stick blender a little to blend.

Put in bowl and cover with tin foil, on steam rack, with 1 cup water in bottom of pot. High pressure for 5 minutes and let natural release for 10 minutes after.

This was really great. I doubled it and put it in a sheet pan. Also added cheddar, corn, and scallions. Very good.

Sourdough Naan

Sourdough Naan

This was a fail. I used old unfed sourdough starter and the dough turned out far too wet. I used regular yogurt but i doubt that accounts for it. The author claims the recipe is something she "can handle, even on the busiest days." I emphatically disagree...i wont make it again. There are better naan recipes out there with tastier results.

Pressure Cooker Pot Roast

Pressure Cooker Pot Roast

The best pot roast I've ever made. Seriously good. I used a sirloin roast that I had already...and it was half frozen when I started (after soaking it in water for 20 min). I used balsamic in the deglaze step. Definitely must make this again. The website it came from is terrific for instant pot cooking.

Pressure cooker chicken breasts

2 chicken breasts, one weighing 380 grams (big!).
1 jar simmer sauce. I used tikka masala. Save the runny sauce for a curry soup. Water from the chicken made it runny.

Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes + 10 minutes natural release. I adjusted this recipe to get that mount. The breasts were moist and great with a temp about 170. https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/make-moist-chicken-breast-pressure-cooker/
