    The secrets to great sauce: You really need to pressure cook spaghetti sauce.  The pressure cooker (or InstaPot) boils the sauce at about 250 degrees farenheit vs 212 degrees in a stock pot.  Cook times are cut in half for every 18 degrees rise in farenheit (10 degrees Celcius).  250 – 212 = 38 so…

    This recipe is adapted from the traditional tortilla soup recipe on this site. I eliminated the water because the pressure cooker does not lose as much from evaporation. There is no need to pre-cook the chicken when you use a pressure cooker. If you double this recipe, it will not fit safely in an 8…

INGREDIENTS: 12 oz.(about 1.5 cups) dry red…

    I tried this recipe from Serious Eats. It says it makes 1.5 quarts which isn’t really very much sauce.  I would probably double it.  I would also add some grated parmesan to the sauce or with each serving.  It may also need some thickener like corn starch. It is a good way to use up…
