Thank you for the wonderful instapot comfort food recipes. I purchased the pot over a year ago and I knew it had a lot more potential than I was using it for. I did not grow up with my family using pressure cookers and it scared me a little. I kept thinking of the monster cast iron pot of my grandfathers and the way the lid screwed on to lock it and the weight on the steam vent. I also recall it blowing up a couple of times.
I look for to cooking the easy and tasty recipes from your site. Thanks again for your information and the simplicity of your recipes.
