Omg that pastrami looks unbelievable. Instant Pot is unknown territory for me, but damn, looks like I need one.

The entire "Instant Pot" brand doesn't exist in Australia, as far as I know, but I own an identical device (they're electronic pressure cookers/slow cookers). Definitely recommend one. As a single guy it's not as useful as it could be, but they're a godsend for families.

Yeah. It's electric, as opposed to stove-top, which means it's got a bunch of programmable recipes and things to play with, but at heart it's just a pressure cooker.

Pasta fans,

Bucatini and meat sauce again, but better looking picture this time!

El D, perfectly latticed pasta .

What's the preferred preparation for sausage and peppers here, with or without tomato sauce? Hard roll, potato roll, other?

With tomato sauce. No bread, just straight. Possibly pasta.

Cool, thanks guys.
Will give both a look

*caveat: i have no concept of what is 'authentic', i just know what i enjoy*

i like the sausage with peppers, onions and a zesty/spicy tomato sauce. i prefer the roll with a hard crust but somewhat soft on the inside so that it can be toasted to allow the sauce to soak into the middle and still be easy to hold because the crust stays firm.

combined Red Boat fish sauce and Instant Pot for a start-to-finish 65 minute dinner. like every Kenji recipe I've tried it tasted great.

Made these
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tacos-chelo-3691912

We made our usual salsa verde but I think the recipe's is gonna be more piquant which is a good thing. The tacos are stupid good.

And now I'm curious what else I can do with epazote. Smells terrible but makes the potatoes so good.

Nugz, does the fish sauce make a difference in the dish or is it just trendy?

I didn't taste it before adding fish sauce since I trusted the recipe, but I'd say it makes a noticeable difference. hard to describe...it just wasn't as flat as regular salsa verde, which I have made many times.

Kids voted cookies, adults voted brownie's. Did some cookie brownie bites and everyone is happy. If only politics was that easy.

The pork chile verde recipe is excellent as well. Does Red Boat make such a difference in this style of dish over any other fish sauce? I have the one with the happy looking baby on the bottle.

I’ve only ever had Red Boat, but my guess is if you’re just adding a teaspoon or two to a big dish, it probably makes no difference. In Nuoc Cham it probably does though.
