These recipes all call for American-style streaky bacon. American-style bacon comes in long strips and is made from pork belly. I usually gravitate toward thick-cut bacon.
Instant Pot FAQs
Why use a pressure cooker?
The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker that's multi-use. These functions include pressure cook, steam, slow cook, rice cook, and more.
For me, it's all about the easy cleanup. I look for dump-and-go dinners and one-pot meals.
What size Instant Pot do I need?
For most people, a 6-quart Instant Pot will be the most versatile size. It allows you to make dishes for two or dishes for a family of five (with leftovers!).
Note that certain models only have a couple of sizes available.
What brand/model should I get?
There are many options out there when it comes to electric multi-functional pressure cookers: Instant Pot, CHEF iQ, Presto, Comfee, to name a few.
The real answer is, they all offer similar functionality, so choose one that fits your budget and your cooking needs.
I'm partial to Instant Pot. I was gifted a 6-quart Instant Pot Duo about five years ago, and it's in amazing shape. I've never once thought about purchasing a different make or model.
