Eating solely out of my Instant Pot wasn't as bad as I thought! Here's what my biggest takeaways are:
- Don't waste time on hard-boiled eggs. Making them in a normal pan would've taken way less time.
- Between doing my cooking in bulk and not spending money eating out, I saved a ton of money. My ingredients cost me a little over $50 — which included buying some less common spices like garam masala — and I didn't spend my usual $40 a week on takeout or getting lunch at work.
- Cleaning your Instant Pot can be a challenge. It's definitely easy enough to scrub the metal pot you actually cook in, but dirt and grime can build up around the appliance's lip pretty quickly.
- My biggest regret was not freezing more of my food from the get-go. While it was amazing to have so many choices of food around, I ended up having quite a large amount of leftovers. Next time, I'll be sure to put a few portions worth in freezer-safe bags.
