Hi Rosie, I’ve loved your Crockpot Candied Yams…I have to purchase a Pressure Cooker, since I no longer have one….but love your recipes…Keep up the awesone job!
Thank you- I just got an instant pot so I appreciate your giving a recipe made using it.
WHat setting did you use on the instant pot when out cooked the yams?
It was on the normal setting.
Would love the candied Sweet Potato Recipe with the pineapple and brown sugar!
Love Your Recipes! Thank You!
Hi Rosie! I already love your soul food yams recipe so I know this one will be bomb.com and quicker in my Pressure Cooker XL. Question: Do you have any suggestions, for those of us with busy schedules, on how to prepare for holiday cooking a week or so before? I have prepared your baked mac n cheese for freezing and it was still great after reheating. Specifically, are there any dishes that can be pre-made and freeze well?
Thank you for sharing your recipes and beautiful personality!
I just suggest preparing over a few days time. Don’t try to do everything in one day. I highly suggest using instant pots, and slow cookers.
Hello Rosie,
I just bought an IP and I can’t wait to try this recipe.
I am a bit confused on the settings…do I use the slow cooker button or the pressure cooker button?
Thank you
Pressure cooker settings.
I do not have a normal setting button on my instant pot. Do I push the pressure cook button? I have made your receipe before and everyone just loved it and I would like to try the instant pot receipe to save my oven for a different dish. Thank you.
Hi Maggie. Yes, the pressure cooker button 🙂
