My first Instant Pot use: Sweet and Sour Chicken using Campbell's Cooking Sauce

[progree]

10. Thanks much. i followed your recipe and have just consumed the result (I did 2 eggs)

the only thing is 5 minutes in the ice bath is a long time -- the eggs were room termperature on the inside. I may just cut the ice bath time to near nil if I want to consume hot eggs right away. But as you mentioned, its for using the eggs later --

"You can now peel them or place them back into the egg carton for peeling and using later. Make sure to mark the carton that it contains boiled eggs."

Other than that it worked great.

I don't have a "Steam" button or a "Manual" button like some IP recipes talk about. But anyway the "egg" button worked fine. It's default, BTW, is 5 minutes and high pressure.

It took 8 minutes to preheat (I used 2 cups of water as you suggested), 5 minutes cooking phase, 5 minutes "let it sit" phase for a total of 18 minutes. Additionally there's the ice bath time, which I might reduce to like 30 seconds.

Thanks again.
