My wife makes mac & cheese using both mild cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese using the Instant Pot to make the pasta. We add a summer sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces in the mac & cheese and it's fantastic. You can also add chunks of fully cooked ham pieces if you don't like summer sausage. Also the dinner franks at Costco are also great in mac & cheese.
I really need to get my instant pot out and use it more.. I didn't have a good experience with the couple meals that I've tried... But by the comments I see I guess I just need to use more liquids... Thank you for always showing us delicious recipes...😁👍😁👍😁👍🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Kristen for such wonderful tips and recipes! The instant pot has changed our lives, eating delicious, nutritious and easy to cook meals! Love 💕 and hugs 🤗 to you and your family!
My instant pot is still in the box. Me working 3rd shift, I know I will get some use out of it. Your videos & recipes will surely help. Thank you so much for sharing. You make it look so easy. My mother in law is so afraid of it. Take care & God bless 🙏
I am in the process of making a pork tenderloin in mine!!!! I took one of your recipes!!!! This pot is SSSSSOOOOOO easy, once you get used to it and how it works!!! I make a lot of things in it now. Saves time and a huge mess!!!!!💖💖
So I'm not sure if its true or not bt I heard/seen on another youtube channel that wen cooking any pasta in a IP- to cook half the mins it says on the box plus add 1min to the time bc diff pasta times vary. Also I gta pot roast in my fridge that needs cooked so I'm using ur recipe 2dy bt with Hawaii rolls! Ty for sharing sista😉
I love these simple recipe ides! I just started seeing a nutritionist and she said the Instant pot is a great tool, I have a large one at home but I would like to have a smaller one too. But I was wondering about the 4 minute pasta trick, does that work with frozen stuffed pastas like ravioli, tortellini? Or even frozen homemade flat noodles like fettuccini?
I just received my new Instant Pot Duo Plus yesterday. So far I've pressure cooked water, I guess it was the test you perform and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Now I'm looking for recipe's and came across your channel. I like the Mac & Cheese and Beef recipe's you showed. My pot also has the new option to Sous Vide and I know even a cheap cut of steak will come tasting great and tender enough to cut with a fork. Do you have any suggestions for Sous Vide recipe's? Thank you for the video, you just got another sub.
What if I’m a guy who wants a shirt? 4xlt? I cook for the family. Just made the chicken tacos yesterday I made the open face roast beef w mash potatoes
I just got my IP out the box & excited to start. I am a slow cooker & new to pressure cooking. I was a confused by the beef joint. You said 'low and slow' then put it on Hi pressure, but said left it for 5 hours. I normally leave the slow cooker on & go to the office. So do I pressure cook for the 1.5hrs then leave in the unopened IP to 'cook' ? Does it auto switch to keep warm. I've got an IP duo crisp (11/1).
If you leave it depressutize naturally and sit on warm, the meat is much more tender, falls apart almost on its own. Plus if you are starting it early, then go out, you don't have to fuss about it. Pork shoulder done this war is amazing.
Hi Kristen , I see you cook frozen boneless, skinless chicken. But if I wanted to cook a couple of frozen leg quarters with skin and bone , would I cook this at same directions as the boneless? Thank you !
you should mention...to check the seal of the lid before putting it on....it happened to me a couple of times, it was not on properly and never came to pressure 🤣
Whenever i cook meat in the instant pot, it never comes out tender. I cook by the directions as well. My husband hates when i cook in the instant pot. What could i be doing wrong?
The amount of liquid makes a huge difference. Try using more liquid and I always season or use broth, mine comes out tender and saucy because of the amount of liquid
I think sometimes the directions err on the longer side for cook times. Cooking too long can make it dry, try shorter cook times but make sure meat has a safe internal temp! (I do chicken like 15 min, but that's my IP!)
@@christinedefriend8782 yes, I do chicken for less than what I see in most videos. You can actually cook it to just 155F and hold it there for a minute, minimum, and it's still safe!
Last time I cooked more than 3 frozen chicken breasts for the 24 mins it wasn't done where it touched where its frozen and touching I have gone to to 30 mins and have never had a undone chicken again.
I find I don't have to rinse pasta off. And I do have a very handy trick of spreading extra pasta on a cook sheet with wax paper, spray it with olive oil, flash freeze it and put in large baggies in the freezer. It's just as good as fresh. What I do need to rinse are buckwheat noodles (soba) which get a slimy coating and continue to cook to mush unless they are cooled down.
I stopped cooking meat in mine as well. I would rather use my crock pot for meat any day. I have done chicken many times and it's just tough. I do just like she says too.
Same (for chicken at least). I’ve tried various methods and times-it doesn’t shred as easily as I’d like, and is rubbery. I’ll stick to the slow cooker for that!
When cooking things with high starch content, the burn notice happens a lot easier because the bottom of the pot gets very hot. Be sure you have enough liquid.
I love my Instapot but my only problem I have when I cook pasta any kind, it isn't soft in 4 minutes. If in soup it finally does on keep warm by the time you have a 2nd portion but right after it cooks/pressed it is still hard maybe slightly under al dente. What gives? Can I cook it longer? Also it is fully under the liquid.
Put it in the bottom of the pan in the liquid. You can also cook it in 1 cup of chicken broth. That is so yummy and comes out tender every time. If they aren't very thick, they can be done in about 22 minutes.
I noticed you have chickens in your garage why do you have chickens in your garage I don't know if I could do that if you cook those and eat them I could never raise my own and then eat them it just couldn't so what do you do with yours
They are almost big enough to move to the coop! They started out as tiny chicks! It snowed here last week so we kept them in the garage a little bit longer!
My wife makes mac & cheese using both mild cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese using the Instant Pot to make the pasta. We add a summer sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces in the mac & cheese and it's fantastic. You can also add chunks of fully cooked ham pieces if you don't like summer sausage. Also the dinner franks at Costco are also great in mac & cheese.
These all sound delicious!
Add broccoli
I add baby peas just because I love those little baby peas and I chop fine a half of white onion. To my Mac and Cheese
Those dinner Frank's from costcos are the bomb! 😋
@@kathyfann That sounds yummy.
We just call it wooster sauce here in the UK 😀
I would add pasta to the broth from the cooked chicken with some seasonings anf/or bouillon for more flavor and you have a wonderful easy side dish 💞
Yes, that would be delicious! So many options.

Yep, 1 cup of liquid
Thank you Kristen for such wonderful tips and recipes! The

Because of YOU 💕, I started cooking pasta, rice, and baked potatoes in the IP. So easy, set and forget. Thanks 🙏
I love hearing this!

i started simple with rice, now i have gotten to the point i dislike cooking any other way because it is so simple and easy.😀
Once you take it out of the box and use it, I guarantee you will never put it back in the box ever again! It’s easy to use, and a real timesaver.👍
Just start with something simple to get the hang of it. The videos we offer are pretty easy and help you navigate your Instant Pot!
Thanks for going back to the basics for us, Kristen! That open face sandwich looked fantastic!
Any time!
I am in the process of making a pork tenderloin in mine!!!! I took one of your recipes!!!! This pot is SSSSSOOOOOO easy, once you get used to it and how it works!!! I make a lot of things in it now. Saves time and a huge mess!!!!!💖💖
Made that last night
Wonderful!
Thanks and G*d bless ya! Very helpful, especially when you live alone and don't have much time to cook.
Chicken is on the menu this week. Love the way I can cook it so quickly after work.
It's a game changer.

Hope you enjoy!
Yesterday, I got an instapot for my birthday!! Kids are awesome!! First dish is going to be your mac and cheese!!
Holy crap, I was drooling the whole time.
(Ginny) I love my IP. I cook more meals in it than in any other method! Thank you, Sisters, love all your videos!
I am so glad to hear that!
So I'm not sure if its true or not bt I heard/seen on another youtube channel that wen cooking any pasta in a IP- to cook half the mins it says on the box plus add 1min to the time bc diff pasta times vary.
Also I gta pot roast in my fridge that needs cooked so I'm using ur recipe 2dy bt with Hawaii rolls! Ty for sharing sista😉

You guys are the BEST! I still need to get an Instant Pot! This inspires me to get one 🥰
You will love it!
Very helpful and delicious recipes! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Everything looks good as always! The roast beef had my mouth watering because I haven't had dinner yet! LOL And because I love roast beef of course!
Hope you enjoy!

side note: a hand mixer works WONDERS for shredding chicken! i saw it on tiktok once and never looked back!
Thanks for teaching or sharing… God bless
What if I’m a guy who wants a shirt? 4xlt? I cook for the family. Just made the chicken tacos yesterday I made the open face roast beef w mash potatoes
First thing I made in my insta pot, was chicken for tacos! Thnx Six Sisters Stuff! 😬🐔🌮🌮❤️ #Sundayfunday
You are very welcome.
Thank you for sharing kristen have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Love everything mac and cheese my favorite yummy.🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Mac and Cheese is one of our favorites!
I just got my IP out the box & excited to start. I am a slow cooker & new to pressure cooking.
I was a confused by the beef joint. You said 'low and slow' then put it on Hi pressure, but said left it for 5 hours.
I normally leave the slow cooker on & go to the office. So do I pressure cook for the 1.5hrs then leave in the unopened IP to 'cook' ? Does it auto switch to keep warm.
I've got an IP duo crisp (11/1).
WOW, the dishes look delicious…I really like the pasta…TFS 🧀🍗🥰🤗
What was the reason you left Roast in the pot for 5 hours more when the Timer went off ??? Thanks for all your great tips, totally appreciated!!💯🙌
I wonder if she's showing it will keep warm after cooking until you get home from work?
I think it allows the meat to absorb the juices
If you leave it depressutize naturally and sit on warm, the meat is much more tender, falls apart almost on its own.
Plus if you are starting it early, then go out, you don't have to fuss about it.
Pork shoulder done this war is amazing.
it literally falls apart with a natural release and leave it in there for a few hours if you can! So yummy!
Sometimes we just get busy. But dinner is still done.
I love your dog!
Hello Newbe here love what I see and am learning the instant pot now . Question how do you cook fresh beets ?? Thank you very much.
It's just pronounced 'Wooster' sauce '. How crazy are we Brits!!! Thanks for all the great videos, Kristen.
You are welcome!
Thanks for simplifying the process. Now I'm inspired to use mine for the first time.
You can totally do this!
Good evening from Perth Western Australia 🦘🦘
Hello down under in Australia!!! So happy that you joined us Sharon!
Which instant pot has an automatic lid? I will upgrade if they have accomplished that. And if they have one that’s faster that’s also great 👍
Does Susan have sisters? Do they have names? LOL. Thanks for sharing! I use so many of your ideas, I always recommend six sisters stuff. ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks so much! Yes, Susan has quite a few sisters back in my pantry!
Thank you, You have relieved my fears.
I am so happy that we could help!
I love your recipes
Thank you so much 😊
Do you follow the same directions for gluten-free pasta or brown rice pasta?
I am assuming chicken broth could be put in the pot instead of water for more flavor?
That's correct!
Awesome video😍
Good morning from San Antonio Tx
Hello Texas!!!
Nice. Open face beef sandwich marvelous
Thanks a lot!!
Hi Kristen , I see you cook frozen boneless, skinless chicken. But if I wanted to cook a couple of frozen leg quarters with skin and bone , would I cook this at same directions as the boneless? Thank you !
Yes you can cook it same direction if you want
you should mention...to check the seal of the lid before putting it on....it happened to me a couple of times, it was not on properly and never came to pressure 🤣
can you do this is a slow cooker too?
Whenever i cook meat in the instant pot, it never comes out tender. I cook by the directions as well. My husband hates when i cook in the instant pot. What could i be doing wrong?
I've had similar issues. Letting it sit with the heat off so it can absorb juices can help.
The amount of liquid makes a huge difference. Try using more liquid and I always season or use broth, mine comes out tender and saucy because of the amount of liquid
Always let it naturally release, or it will be dry. Let it sit longer than recommended
I think sometimes the directions err on the longer side for cook times. Cooking too long can make it dry, try shorter cook times but make sure meat has a safe internal temp! (I do chicken like 15 min, but that's my IP!)

Last time I cooked more than 3 frozen chicken breasts for the 24 mins it wasn't done where it touched where its frozen and touching I have gone to to 30 mins and have never had a undone chicken again.
Am I the only one that has to rinse my pasta? Otherwise it seems pasty to me.
Love your recipes and tips.
I find I don't have to rinse pasta off. And I do have a very handy trick of spreading extra pasta on a cook sheet with wax paper, spray it with olive oil, flash freeze it and put in large baggies in the freezer. It's just as good as fresh.

I just gotta know --- have your children name any of the chickens ? ...
:)
I think one or two of them might have a name. Ha ha!!
I cooked 4 thawed large chicken breasts with 1 cup water for 15 minutes and natural release. They were done and very dry.
sounds like "What's dis here sauce?"😊
Oh, What type of cheese do I use to make it look like regular macaroni and cheese you know like the yellow kind? Thanks 😊
You buy yellow cheese 😁
The only difference between yellow and white is food coloring. Same cheese. For me, white macaroni and cheese is the regular stuff.
You can use sharp cheddar that is yellow.
1:39 Pupper Alert!! 🐶
We love our pup!
Currently have 12 chicken in my garage waiting to get big enough to join the others. 😅
New to your channel...do you have a video on how to can asparagus in an instant pot? Or is that not recommended?
No video on that yet.
IPs aren't for canning. All of the electric pressure cookers/canners that claim to be for canning failed the independent safety testing.
This is the pages link on the six sisters shows you can subscribe to.
Hard boil eggs
Thanks Ms. Kristen. Didn't know you raised some chickens.
They just got them:)
So excited for fresh eggs!
My friend/co worker does the same. She's a good old farm girl.
Does the meat come out tender
I stopped cooking meat in mine as well. I would rather use my crock pot for meat any day. I have done chicken many times and it's just tough. I do just like she says too.
Same (for chicken at least). I’ve tried various methods and times-it doesn’t shred as easily as I’d like, and is rubbery. I’ll stick to the slow cooker for that!
Let you toast unseal by it's self, better for the meàt
Use the trivet for the chicken! 😭
I have a question, why don’t you put salt into the pasta because it surely will be bland?
You can if you want. We don't need more than a big pinch of salt.
I do pasta and rice and I always get the burn warning.
When cooking things with high starch content, the burn notice happens a lot easier because the bottom of the pot gets very hot. Be sure you have enough liquid.
For spaghetti, does that mean we'd have to break it in half so that the water will cover it?
Yes, you may need to break it up a little. But it's so easy!
Put a hand towel over the vent to catch any spewing.
Yes!
I just got mine and haven't used it yet. I'm scared. 🤭🤭🤭🥴🥴🥴
You GOT THIS! Watch our IP 101 video for more help!

Cook a minute longer and see.
Miss you on here what happened to you all?
Why no salt?
I'm not the best at seasoning ha ha!!
How do I keep my chicken breast from drying out when I cooked it it was very dry inside
I just put mine in the liquid instead of on the trivet
Put it in the bottom of the pan in the liquid. You can also cook it in 1 cup of chicken broth. That is so yummy and comes out tender every time. If they aren't very thick, they can be done in about 22 minutes.
Why r chickens in ur garage
Girl seasoning....
I noticed you have chickens in your garage why do you have chickens in your garage I don't know if I could do that if you cook those and eat them I could never raise my own and then eat them it just couldn't so what do you do with yours
They are almost big enough to move to the coop! They started out as tiny chicks! It snowed here last week so we kept them in the garage a little bit longer!
I agree, poor things, I wld eat potatoes, oatmeal, beans before I wld a pet chicken.......
@@anelmottley2630 I just think raised in them and that kind of conditions being in a garage like that is just cruel
I hope those chickens arent spending a bunch of time living in that tiny cage..
Those are some uncooked tortillas .
Chicken tastes much better in an oven
I found the best things to make in an instant pot are beans and rice
I do not like chicken tacos. Now what??
Ummmmmmm.........water and nothing else? 😳 .....onto the next video for recipe ideas......
That cheesy pasta! No wonder americans are so overweight.
whenever i cook pasta just like that i have to much liquid left? 🥲
