  1. How do you cook liver in boiled water or pressure cooker, without any additives or marinates so it is tender? Also, how do you cook chicken breast using these methods so it is soft as well? I tend to have rubbery pieces.

  2. Eric really speaks well and clear. The recipe looks to be a good one. The only thing I would change would be to dress the baby arugula separate from the beets, then add them on top of the beets. Reason is that the baby arugula is very tender, it gets crushed and blackened when mixed with hot 1/2 inch sized beets. I like arugula fresh not mushy or damaged.

  3. This is a minor quibble ,but since the video is instructional, I'd like to see what the beets look like after 3 minutes, and what the sling looks like placed atop the half-cooked beets. Also, could a IP user just use hte included trivet instead of hte sling? I know the "sling" is an ATK favorite, but I mess it up every time. I'd for sure end up with pink cod. Finally, it sounds absolutely bananas to cook beets & fish in the IP, in one go, no less. But if y'all at ATK tell me I can, I trust you. I'd be willing to give this a shot for sure.

  4. You don’t have to hold the release valve like he does. You just give it a 1/4 turn and it’ll vent on its own. Hold it like that and you’ll get burnt fingers. Not sure he’s familiar with how an Instant Pot works.

  5. What an annoying presenter for a lousy recipe. Annoying voice, mannerisms, and style that pales compared to the other hosts. Beet skins? Seriously? This recipe would be easier in a regular pan so it doesn't even effectively cater to people who buy an instant pot as a crutch to avoid learning how to cook. Anyone like that is going to spend 2 hours making this dish and be frustrated after dropping the sling into the purple ink you're going to make.

    Fire this guy, fire the person who hired him, and fire the person who created the recipe.

  6. I'll have to try this. The instant pot also comes with a steaming rack with handles, which you could place on top of the beets to lift out the fish. You are brave to move the pressure valve with your hands! I always cover the valve with a folded kitchen towel and use long tongs to release the pressure.

  7. Or you could SIMPLY steam some cod on a covered rack with some water in the oven and boil some beets in a pot. Drain beets and add shallot and butter, spice of your choice on cod. Instapot is not instant, nor is it easy or convenient. It's a steamer nothing more. I lent my rarely used one to my neighbor to test for a week, he returned it after two days. He couldn't figure out any reason for it, just like me.
