This is the recipe that really made my blog take off. For a while, it was the number one result for pressure cooker mac and cheese on Google. It may have lost its Google ranking1, but it’s still one of my favorites. I’m making a double batch of mac and cheese tonight. My kids are helping decorate their high school for the Big Rivalry Game™, and Dad Cooks Dinner needs to show his support. (And, normally I prefer the stainless steel inner pot for my Instant Pot, but for this recipe I pull out the nonstick inner pot to make it easier to clean up.)

Memorial Day weekend – it’s time to grill!
I had an…opportunity, yeah, that’s it, an opportunity to look up my own instructions on what to do if you dump water into your Instant Pot base without the liner in it. Two opportunities, to be exact – someone made the same mistake twice in a row. It’s a good thing I have four pressure cookers… While I was drying them out, I took a few pictures of removing the plastic Vent Cover on the new(er) Instant Pot Duo Plus, Ultra, and Max, and updated my What to Do post. The only real gotcha was the Instant Pot Max, which uses a Torx T15 screw. I had to dig deep into my toolbox to find that one. (The Duo Plus and Ultra use a Phillips head screw.)

Who knew clear broth would be so controversial? When I used 8 ounces of ground beef to clarify the broth for my tortellini en brodo, I got a lot of angry and confused comments. (They weren’t angry, they were just…disappointed.) Clarifying broth with ground meat, egg white, or a combination of both is a trick from French consommé. The protein congeals into a raft, acting as a natural filter and absorbing a lot of the impurities in the broth. When you skim off the raft, what’s left is a clear broth.1 But 8 ounces of ground beef crossed some sort of line. “That’s wasteful” seemed to underly the comments. I kind of get it – It wasn’t a cheap broth to begin with, using chicken wings and oxtail as well as the ground beef. (Let alone all of the vegetables.) On the other hand, an ultra-rich broth is the point of the recipe. If all I am serving is broth and tortellini, I want as rich of a broth as possible. Of course, you can …
A green side from my Instant Pot – pressure cooker kale with garlic and lemon.
Well, not really. Easter dinner is at my brother-in-law’s house this year, so I’m just bringing a dessert. But, maybe you’re looking for an Easter feast? Here are a few suggestions to get you going: Pressure Cooker 7 Hour Leg of Lamb (in 90 minutes) Rotisserie Fresh Ham with Injection Brine Grilled Ham with Honey Bourbon Glaze Rotisserie Whole Leg of Lamb with Orange and Fennel Dry Brine Now, my real Easter Dinner tradition is a grilled steak after Saturday night’s Easter Vigil mass. This is what my family used to do, back when I was growing up; nowadays, I skip the vigil mass and go on Easter morning…but I still cook those steaks to break our lenten fast on Saturday night. And, for me, “steak” means a ribeye: Cedar Plank Grilled Ribeye with Peppers and Onions Grilled Ribeye Delmonico Steaks with Tex-Mex Rub Grilled Tomahawk Steak (Long Bone Ribeye, Reverse Seared) What do you think? What are you cooking for Easter dinner? Talk about it in the comments section below. Enjoyed this post? Want …
