INSTANT POT HAM BONE BROTH

INSTANT POT LEFTOVER HAMBONE SOUP

Steps:

• Place hambone, onion and bay leaf into a 6-qt Instant Pot®. Add enough water to almost cover the bone without passing the max line of the insert, about 7 cups. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 30 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer's directions; remove and discard hambone and bay leaf. Add ham, carrots, potato, beans, corn, garlic and thyme. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 5 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

INSTANT POT® HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a trivet and set it inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour crushed pineapple over ham. Sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top. Secure the lid with vent closed.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove ham and trivet. Cut ham into slices and place on a plate.
• Select Saute setting on the pressure cooker. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir mixture into the pot, bring to a boil, and stir until thickened. Pour sauce over the ham.

INSTANT POT® LENTIL AND HAM SOUP

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and warm for a few minutes. Add onion and celery; saute for 2 minutes. Add carrots; saute for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in ham, lentils, basil, oregano, and thyme. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and water. Stir in bay leaf.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove lid carefully. Discard bay leaf. Stir salt, lemon juice, and pepper into the soup.

INSTANT POT HAM BROTH

Steps:

• Put the ham hocks, onions, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns in an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker, then pour in 8 cups of water. (The water should cover everything - you can add more if you need to, up to the max fill line of your cooker.)
• Lock the lid and pressure cook on high pressure for 60 minutes in an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker (use Manual or Pressure Cook mode in an Instant Pot) or for 50 minutes in a stovetop pressure cooker. Let the pressure come down naturally - about 30 minutes. (It takes a long time for all that water to cool off.) If you're in a hurry, let the pressure come down naturally for 20 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.
• Unlock the lid and open it away from you to avoid any hot steam. With a slotted spoon, scoop the ham hocks and vegetables out of the pot and discard; they gave their all to the broth. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer. Refrigerate the broth for a couple of days, or portion into 2-cup containers and freeze for up to 6 months.

BEEF BONE BROTH IN THE INSTANT POT®

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place beef bones on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bones are browned and charred in spots, about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
• Transfer bones to an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add carrots, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves; pour in enough water to cover. Select Saute function and bring to a boil, uncovered, about 20 minutes.
• Once boiling, skim top of liquid to remove any foamy bits and impurities; discard. Add peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cloves. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions and seal the steam release handle; set timer for 2 hours. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 1 to 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Place a large fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth over a large pot or 8-cup liquid measure. Remove and discard bones. Pour broth mixture into sieve. Press on solids until all liquid has drained. Discard solids; skim off any fat from surface, if needed, and stir salt into broth.
• Divide among serving containers and serve immediately, or let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
