Chicken Kebab Recipe, I always prefer boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. They’re more flavorful than chicken breasts, and easier to cook without drying out. Recent days, my kid addiction is chicken, its protein rich food with less oil. Also love the taste of chicken specially we use iron pan. It needs just a handful of ingredients but the taste turns out amazing.

Instant Pot - One of the bucket lists for me. Always when it comes for IP shopping at kitchen area, i have double minded about to buy or not. Many items i went to kitchen appliances shop and think about so many things to buy IP

Is this really safe to use for my family?
Can i cook and feed for my 4 yr old?
Is it really worth for 100+ bucks

Like this i have tooooooo many questions on my mind. I enquired about this from my cooking friends, always i get similar answer that is delay start option is there, it'll be helpful. But i prefer to cook fresh and give to my family. After so many research i quit to buy this before 3 years, that time my baby is just an year old so don't want to take risks.

From my personal opinion, I really wasted the time. I wish I was bought this long back. Really guys, believe me. Now my kid started his swimming and Karate class, its at evening time. After his snacks, I take him to his classes and come back to home at dinner time. Already kid was very tired, if i prepare dinner he slept before i complete cooking. I know what is the next question here, If I prepared earlier and went to class, the food is cold, even i reheat it dont taste that freshness and end up with not satisfied dinner or eat outside. I never prefer my kid eat outside after his classes because his energy burnt, he need fresh and healthy food to gain his energy and for sound sleep.

I got thought to buy this, and did it. Believe me friends, it is really worth specially for moms. Now I prepare in late afternoon and give delay start, its really fresh for my dinner. My first dish I tried Chettinad Chicken Curry. Also this IP is an easy-peasy to use for first time.
