 Hey guys welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today I'm sharing with you how to make some pot and pot recipes. So my name is Kristen and every Monday I share an instant pot recipe with you. So I get a lot of questions about how do I use pot and pot? Why should I ever cook anything inside of it? So I just want to show you a few recipes that you could use a pot inside of your instant pot. So the first recipe is steamed vegetables. Now you can put water in your pot and put your vegetables in and cook them. The only bad thing is that if your vegetables are sitting in the water sometimes they get a little soggy. So I like to put them inside a pot. So I'm going to add about a cup, cup and a half of water to the bottom of the pot. Next I'm going to add the pot in the pot and then I'm just going to add some vegetables. So we have broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, they all kind of cook around the same time so I'm just going to pour that into. Now when you're steaming vegetables you still want the moisture to go into your vegetables so we're not going to put a lid on, we're not going to do foil, we're just going to leave it just as it is here and we're going to put the lid on and cook it. So you're going to turn the lid, make sure it's closed, you're going to turn the little knob to sealing not venting. Now with these vegetables I love steaming vegetables in the Instant Pot because it only cooks for about a minute so you're going to push the manual or the pressure cook button go down to one minute. You have to wait for a few seconds until it says on. Once it says on you're good to go and you can walk away. So once the Instant Pot is done this little L will appear that means that you did it right. It's starting to count up so when that's done you can turn this little knob over to venting so you're going to vent all of the pressure out of the Instant Pot. All right so once all the pressure is out that little pin goes down and then you can open the lid. Oh and these vegetables are steamed perfectly. They look so good. Okay pull that on out. I'm just going to stab it just so you can see how good it looks. Oh yeah those are like perfect. They're not too hard but not too soft. They're not the soggy vegetables. Now I love to cook my vegetables. I add a little bit of garlic salt and a little bit of cheddar cheese and mix it together and that is my favorite way to eat steamed vegetables. Okay going on to recipe number two. All right so the second recipe. Now using a pot and pot you can do all kinds of delicious things. One of my favorite things to make in it is like dips. So today I'm going to make a spinach artichoke dip using the pot in the pot and the Instant Pot. So first we're going to start out with about 10 ounces of frozen spinach. So I'm just going to pour it right into my bowl. Okay next we're going to add the sauces. So this isn't a healthy dip but it sure tastes amazing. So we're going to do about a cup of mayonnaise. You can use Miracle Whip if you want but I like mayonnaise a little bit better. And I'm just kind of eyeballing this. So it's about a cup of mayonnaise and then a cup of some sour cream. Now it doesn't really matter what kind of sour cream if you have low fat or normal it just doesn't matter. So just about a cup of that. Here we go and we're just going to mix this all together. Now I let my spinach sit out for about I don't know five minutes or so just so it's not so frozen so it will mix a little bit easier. Okay so next we're going to add the artichoke hearts. Now this one is a 12 ounce can. You can do anywhere from like 10 to 14 ounce. Now I've drained it so you don't want a ton of liquid in there but I'm just going to pour it right in. Now you can chop these up smaller if you want but I personally love the the giant chunks of artichoke. All right so after we have the artichokes then we're going to add about a cup of mozzarella cheese. Okay so once we get our mozzarella cheese now we just need a little bit of seasoning in there so we're going to add about a half teaspoon of garlic salt and again I'm just going to eyeball it. And then just a pinch of cayenne if you choose to you don't have to do this. And then about a fourth teaspoon or a pinch of some pepper. All right then we're just going to mix that all together. Okay once it's all mixed together then we're going to put it just right into the new pot so we don't want to put this right and directly into our instant pot because we don't want it to be all wet and soggy so we use that another pot so we'll actually cook but not be soaking wet. All right so we're just going to lay this flat the best that we can. All right you guys see that? Yeah okay so now we're ready to put it in the pot so we're going to just grab about a cup of water and just pour it right in then we're going to lower down our pot so we're going to use some foil and just put it on top to seal in the artichoke dip. Once your foil is on you are ready to go so we're going to put the lid on make sure this little knob is turned to sealing not venting on my last one of my last videos I forgot to say that and I had about 10 of you comment that I didn't say it so sealing not venting there you go. Then we're going to push the manual or pressure cook button whatever instant pot you're using and we're going to go to about 10 minutes. Now after you set the timer again you're just going to let it sit there for a few seconds while you're waiting it's going to beep and then it's going to say on that means you did it right so you can just walk away. So when your instant pot is done cooking you're going to see that little L and the timer is going to start going up so that means you did it right so we're going to turn this little knob to venting it's going to be a quick release so you just turn it to the side oh and if all the steam is already out we're good so we can go ahead and open up our lid and it should be all cooked ready to go. Okay we're going to take off our foil very carefully also it's really browned on the outside but what I'm going to do is I'm going to stick it in the broiler for about a minute or two to just get it nice and bubbly on top so we're going to pull it out now it's this handle is going to be really hot right now it's going to get extra water out and then just throw it right into the oven. Okay the spinach artichoke is done and it smells so good I just want to show you guys this I mean it is nice and creamy and it's a little oh my and cheesy so good. All right guys thank you so much for stopping by we will see you next week bye.
