Hi Carolina – as I indicated above in the defrosting chicken section “With this method, the chicken will cook a little bit on the outside, but the inside with be thawed, easy to dice, and ready to use in your favorite pressure cooker recipes.” If your chicken wasn’t thawed it was probably thicker than an ordinary chicken breast or your chicken breasts were frozen together in a clump. Be sure and separate chicken pieces before freezing.

Hi Mark – if you don’t have a trivet, you’ll just cook the breast in the liquid. Trivets are typically pretty inexpensive so you’ll probably want to buy one eventually. https://www.amazon.com/shop/pressurecookingtoday?listId=3RQJEPRKJIRF9

Hi Shellby – sure, just arrange them so they’re not stacked on top of each other.

Instant Pot recipes will work in your stovetop pressure cooker as well. The time doesn’t start counting down on the Instant Pot until it’s reached pressure. So bring your pressure cooker to pressure the way you normally would and then reduce to the heat to maintain pressure and start a timer. Your cook time will be the same except for long cook items, then you’ll want to reduce the cook time by about 10%.

Cut a lemon in half, dip it in a plate full of salt, scrub away at the pan. Rinse and then wash with soap and water. Gets my instant pot shiny clean every time!
