Join the discussionIf I wanted to double or triple the amount of meat would I need to double or triple the liquid? Thanks!
Chelsea, you would not need to double or triple the liquid. Typically with pressure cooking, a minimum of 1 cup is required for the IP to come to pressure. So, unless you like more liquid with your meat (planning to make a gravy or sauce, for example), you should be fine!
Any serving suggestions? The broth is divine — do I serve it au jus, with the fruit strained out and on the side?
I usually serve it au jus with the fruit served on top of it for added flavor.
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Hi Julie! It sure can! Check out the slow cooker version here!
I’m assuming I can cut the serving in half on this to make smaller portions (not as many in the household)? If I do that, how long do you recommend cooking from frozen in the instant pot? Would it be the same?
Hi Jennifer! This is a great blog article about changing the serving size. . That will probably be most helpful in answering your question!
