I was hungry by 7 and had some cheese and bread to tide me over but I was having strong MEAT cravings.</p> <p>The instant pot recipe called for 45 mins of cooking and it took like another hour for everything to be ready. I was a useless non-functional heap on the couch and all I wanted was MEEEEEEAT.</p> <p>In other words, I feel your pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-mad-at-my-instapot#post-2800408 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:34:12 +0000 gotkimchi 2800408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: :silly: :grin: I’ve got them both in bed and I’m feeling better! The food is finally done so it’s turning around. Still mad at my instant pot though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-mad-at-my-instapot#post-2800404 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:10:42 +0000 SweetCaroline 2800404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: that's super annoying. Your plan B is #winning. There is no other plan B. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-mad-at-my-instapot#post-2800399 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:29:59 +0000 gotkimchi 2800399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: of course I’m just starving and my kids are being annoying! So I’m moving to plan b which is early bedtimes and wine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-mad-at-my-instapot#post-2800395 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:15:29 +0000 maddyz 2800395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't found that to be true. But I have somehow gotten something stuck in the vent and that kept it from sealing. So frustrating. I all sorry about dinner.</p> <p>Edit to say I've left a little bit of browned meat on the bottom of the pan with out issue. Not burnt dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-mad-at-my-instapot#post-2800394 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:11:58 +0000 gotkimchi 2800394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn’t know it won’t seal if you have brown bits stuck to the bottom. So now I have worked all day and still no dinner :( i think it’s going to take another hour on the stove! Why does it have a sauté function?! Rant over </p>
