I figure since these all come from ebooks I received free, the authors can't complain about the recipes being shared.  In the spirit of full disclosure I'll admit I've tried some of the ones I'll post, but not most (yet anyway).

I had to google the 'Instant Pot' to find out what it is.

For most of us nomads out here, it's not about to find it's way in to our kitchens.

6 qt and a 1000 watt power requirement puts it in the way too big for one and for storage and needs a huge ass inverter classification.

I also had to laugh at one of the 'features' - it says that instead of cooking potatoes the conventional way for 50 minutes, use the Instant Pot for 15 instead to save energy. Anyone who cooks potatoes for 50 minutes on the stove, well, I'll refrain cause it wouldn't be very politically correct.... :rolleyes: .

Oh wait, I have cooked potatoes for 50 minutes - it was over 10 lbs of them in one pot for dinner for 21!
 
Mine is 5 qts and I thought I had heard of both 4 qt and 2.5 qt models (ie. "nomad" sized) being available; ... just looked online unsuccessfully for them so those must be similar pots under another name/company.
 
I got confused and was looking for pot recipes.

These recipes can be adapted to our many ways of cooking on camp stoves, thank-you.
 
I find that using pot in cooking to be counter productive.  At least for the next 36 hours.  :cool:

I do have an ebook (received free like most of my ebooks) with 10 recipes for "tasty cannabis cookies"; ... more what you were looking for??? (not that I advocate using anything not currently legal in the location you are in ---- okay, mr. legal troll, lol)
 
From looking at what you posted, the recipes would be great for a dutch oven.
 
Perfect Polenta -( corn meal mush)
Most recipes call for boiling water, cold water, constant stirring to create a lump free corn meal polenta. 
But here is my recipe:
3 cups cold water
1 cup corn meal
Salt and pepper to taste

Stir the corn meal into the cold water. Use a whisk if you have one. Add salt and pepper if desired.
Put the mixture into your solar cooker.
Go do something else for two hours.
Remove pot from solar cooker
Perfect polenta
When it cools, remove from pot and slice. Fry with bacon and eggs. Serve hot with maple syrup and crisp bacon.
 
Brownies are evil.

Eat brownie, get munchies. Eat more brownies, really get munchies.  You see the problem here? 

At some point and time you can't reach up to the table to get more brownies. :dodgy:
