Instant Pot Potato, Ham, and Cheese Soup

This video shows how to make Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker) Potato, Ham, and Cheese soup by converting an existing recipe that was written for the stovetop. The recipe is a family recipe and is typed below. I am posting the original recipe and how I converted it.

Adventures in Canning

I don’t usually write about canning things and cooking but I just thought this might help someone that wants to use their automatic pressure canner for something besides making jelly or pickles.

This week I picked up 36 ears of sweet corn so that I could can them. I have a Ball Freshtech automatic pressure canner and a Power XL Pressure Cooker/Canner so I got them both out and started to work.…

Converting Recipes To Foil-Wrapped

Who doesn't love cooking things over a campfire? 

Since my van doesn't have an oven, I'm going to have to find different ways to cook certain things.  So I analyzed a bunch of recipes that I found that can be cooked in an oven or over a campfire, & made this conversion chart based on the average cooking times WARNING: This chart is untested.  Use common sense & don't eat anything that looks like it's not cooked well enough to be safe.

Campfire Temperature To Oven Temperature High = 450 - 500 Medium High = 375 - 450 Medium = 325 - 375 Low = Under 325

To convert oven recipes: Meat Recipes: If oven temperature is 350, subtract 10 minutes from cooking time If oven temperature is 400, subtract 8 minutes from cooking time If oven temperature is 450, subtract 5 minutes from cooking time Vegetarian Recipes: If oven temperature is 350, subtract 12 minutes from cooking time If oven temperature is 400, subtract 10 minutes from cooking time If oven temperature is 450, subtract 8 minutes from cooking time

Quick Guide Ground Beef - 20 - 30 minutes Steak - 30 - 40 minutes Cubed Beef - 30 minutes Fish w/ veg - 15 - 20 minutes Fish w/o veg - 8 - 15 minutes Pork - 15 - 30 minutes Poultry - 20 - 30 minutes Vegetables - 10 - 15 minutes Sandwiches - 10 minutes

So, for example, let's say I have a recipe that uses steak & vegetables, & calls for 45 minutes at 400.  In order to cook it in foil, I'd cook it over a medium-high heat for 35 minutes

I hope this helps someone!
