My thoughts:

Like pretty much everyone I've talked to inwards the in conclusion twain of months, I ordered an Instant Pot when Amazon had them on sale on Black Friday. I lucked out because I missed the flash sale precisely was able to snag an Amazon Warehouse treat solely $66! That said, it is expert worth the electrical period of time toll every chip expert because, different my stovetop pressure level grade cooker, it is less scary to piece of occupation every bit good every bit is a 7-in-1 machine! So far I own got pressure level grade cooked inwards it, sauteed every bit good every bit ho-hum cooked precisely I can't want to create yogurt, Jiu Niang, beans, congee every bit good every bit grains inwards it. It was perfect for making kalua pork because it makes meat incredibly tender every bit good every bit moist (I wishing I had a cinema of the shredded meat for you, I testament update when I instruct inwards again) every bit good every bit solely took 90 minutes, which is on the long side for pressure level grade cooking, to gear upward close half dozen lbs of pork!

I was making this for our New Year's Eve Hawaiian extravaganza every bit good every bit it was wonderful to own got something that required virtually no hands-on 4th dimension to serve alongside my mac salad province we were busy making drinks every bit good every bit watching Elvis. Not to mention, it was the juiciest pulled pork I scream back I own got e'er had! The pineapple juice added a chip of sweetness, precisely the banana foliage was the real star. It added an authentic earthy, herbal flavour which is hard to instruct without earthworks a pit inwards your backyard, starting a mesquite fire, every bit good every bit thence lining the pit alongside hot rocks every bit good every bit banana leaves the way Kālua is made inwards Hawaii. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 banana leaf-lined Instant Pot is the much easier selection every bit good every bit quite flavorful!
