I tried to challenge myself by cooking option number #3 which is Building your Skills-Tools. So I took it upon myself to use our Instant Pot! I had seen my Mom using it many times so I though to myself how hard can it be? I made Instant Pot Mac and Cheese. Since this was my first time using an Instant Pot I used a recipe from “Salty Marshmallow” so I could follow the recipe as well as the instruction on how to use the Instant Pot. I followed the recipe and it all went smoothly until it was time to Fast Release the pressure on the Instant Pot. For anyone that has not used one yet, it can be scary. Cooking with an Instant Pot, makes cooking faster and normally only use one pot. The challenge is making sure when the lid is closed and locked and the knob on top of the lid is put on Sealing so that the Instant Pot can come up to pressure, this happens when a red button goes up on its own. Once it comes up to pressure the time will count down to zero, at this time the pot will beep. During the next step I was extremely nervous because I had to Fast Release the pressure from the pot. Fortunately my Mom was close by and told me to use a wooden spoon to hit the knob down so that all the steam can be released and the red button press down. I would definitely make this dish again because it was very creamy and delicious. Some challenges I faced while making this dish was trying to learn how to work the Instant Pot. I was able to overcome this challenge by asking my mom some questions on how to use the Instant Pot properly. My greatest success on making this dish was how I learnt how to use the Instant Pot and how delicious the Mac and Cheese turned out. I am most proud of how the dish turned out and how much my family liked it, including my Nana and my Aunt. As an option I added breadcrumbs because my Nana used too.#foodsblock4
