The other day, I decided to alter the recipe for Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken Sandwiches with Cucumber Mango Salsa and make it work for the pressure cooker. Honestly, I didn’t have high hopes. I’ve been thinking that all this pressure cooking frenzy going on around the interwebs was a bunch of craziness.

And then I tried it for myself.

Now, I will say that the sandwich meat isn’t as tender in the pressure cooker, but it was still good. The key to knowing which appliance to use is knowing what the timing of your day is like.

If you have time to put the food into the slow cooker in the morning, then that’s the way to go. But if you have more time in the afternoon (hands on time is still short), and can wait 30 or so minutes for dinner, then the pressure cooker is your friend.

I used chicken tenders that were still frozen. I set the pressure cooker for a 12 minute cook time. The total time it took was about 30 minutes, including the time to come up to pressure, cook and pressure release.

The Very Best Instant Pot Mac and Cheese! Ever!

Of all the different mac and cheese, and especially the Instant Pot Mac and Cheese, recipes I’ve tried, this one is the winner. It’s creamy, cheesy and homemade. And it’s faster than the other methods. I think it’s even faster than my other mac and cheese. You know, the one with the processed cheese product, which I do love, but isn’t very healthy.

I love that this Instant Pot Mac and Cheese is homemade, but doesn’t require you to make the sauce separately from the macaroni. It’s fewer dishes to wash, fewer steps and easier prep.
