The Rave... Instant Pot... My new kitchen toy

By -
Its all over the internet... and among the mom's. A new programmable electric pressure cooker for safe and convenient cooking. With its delayed start function, stainless steel interior for healthy and nutritious cooking and energy efficient, I couldn't resist the urge to jump on the IP bandwagon.
So here goes... Ordered it on black friday and still awaiting delivery....
What do I do in the mean time....Learn the basic functioning...
 Try to get a hold on recipes... and Share the word among my friends for the same.

A great review and awesome video for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6-6nnbLJmM

Now, please note that I have not yet received my IP and not tried any of these yet...but here goes the book list...

A handy tip from a current IP user... If you already use a regular stove top pressure cooker, if you give it 2-4 whistles (dals, sabzi, khicihi) IP cook time would be 5-7 minutes.
If you give it 5-7 whistles (meat stew, beans) IP cook time would be 15-17 minutes.

READ THE MANUAL.

The IP website has approx times to for cooking a whole range of foods.
Cooking times as per IP Website


Happy Pressure Cooking dear readers.

Cheers!

PRENATAL VITAMINS

By -
These are some of the prenatal vitamins that our members have found to be working for them. Each vitamin works differently for each person so it is always wise to consult your doctor before experimenting. Always keep your doctor in the loop if you are having problem with your prenatal vitamins or you are wanting to switch. The vitamins are: == Gesticare DHA with Choline == Vitafol-OB +DHA == Prenate DHA == CitraNatal Assure == Expecta Lipil + DHA supplement == One-a-day Prenat + DHA supplement == Prenate Elite == Cal Nate == Folbical == Multi Natal plus If there are others that work effectively and we have failed to enlist it, we would be glad if you could mention it to us.
