3 Things That Work in the Kitchen – Unboxing a brand new Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

1.  Unboxing the Instant Pot and comparing it to the Cuisinart

I mentioned last week that I’d ordered a new Instant Pot.  When it came I popped on Facebook Live and did an unboxing video.  This was probably the most fun Facebook Live I’ve done so far.  It’s always fun to open a new box, there was a lot of interaction with viewers and maybe I’m getting a little more comfortable with the platform.

You can watch the video here.  I’ve been using the Instant Pot for different recipes and will write a post on my thoughts soon.

2.  Homemade Apple Sauce in the Instant Pot

I love to make homemade apple sauce in the slow cooker.  It tastes like fall should taste – warm and full of cinnamon sweetness!  The other night I decided to make the recipe in the Instant Pot.  It took about 20-25 minutes total, which is pretty quick.  I did modify the slow cooker recipe just a little bit.  I’ll share the recipe soon.

I’ve compiled my 10 Best Instant Pot Accessories list to use with my Instant Pot and really get the most out of it. Check it out and let me know which of them make your short list in the comments below.

3.  Music I’ve been listening to

I’ve shared some of my favorite podcasts with you before, but I don’t know if I’ve ever shared music.  I like to listen while I cook in the evenings.  If I find an album I like, I tend to listen to it on repeat.  Here are a couple that I’ve been rotating through lately:

Hard Love by NeedtoBreathe – I can’t get enough of this album.

Georgia Pond by Johnnyswim – I just discovered Johnnyswim and I’m so happy I did.  I love their new album!

Hamilton – I’m still listening to this pretty frequently, which has me plotting ways to see it on stage.  The original cast recording does have a lot of language in it, but there’s an edited version available on Amazon.

What’s working in your kitchen and what do you like to listen to while cooking?
