Instantpot?

[disney212]

I have a friend that use's this method, and she pokes a hole in the shell before cooking with this little tool. Her deviled eggs always taste weird, and have a rubbery consistency to the bite, and the white of egg itself is dry... Would the baking soda cause this?

baking soda has a reaction with the shell only, I agree she is over cooking. No clue why she would put a hole in them. I boiled 18 last night for breakfasts and snacks this week. Not rubbery at all.

I am wondering if poking the hole in them is why they taste weird. The tool looks sorta like a spool with push button, when you push it down this pin come out. I honestly have never seen one before.

For those interested in buying an Instant Pot, WalMart has the popular LUX60 for $49 and free 2-day shipping.
I tried to get this model on Prime Day and they were sold out.

I never used my slow cooker much because didn't like the taste. Seems like slow cooker cooked the flavor OUT, and I have found that Instant Pot cooks the flavor IN. Most of my French stew recipes are not that much easier or even faster, but boy do they taste good.

However, there are some clear cut advantages. My family loves time consuming, labor intensive fare like risotto and polenta. Special occasions only. Once I found recipes to make these in the IP I've never looked back. Wild mushroom risotto on Monday night? Sure! And sticky rice for pudding or Thai food is super easy too! Another long cooking time thing it's great for is bone broth, if you're so inclined.

It's gotten to the point where I always search the internet to see if there's an IP recipe for something I want to make. I don't think it really works for roasted potatoes, but it works to mostly cook them and then roast.

Could I get the link for the risotto and polenta recipes? Both are favorites at my house and I would love the shortcut!
thank you!

So many to choose from, this is probably my favorite.

Sometimes I make it with seafood broth, then top with steamed lobster, no prosciutto.

My husband makes the polenta (he likes it for breakfast), but I think this is the one he uses:
