In reply to Julie Sweet. Hi Julie! When doubling a recipe, you often don't need to change the cooking time. It will take longer to come to pressure, accounting for the time added time needed for cooking. HOWEVER, for this recipe, the meat tends to be overcooked if you cook it for 3 minutes when doubling. I hope that helps to explain it :) Enjoy!

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. I would like to try this recipe but also need to double it. Your answer to the question above said to reduce the cooking time by 2 minutes if doubling - the cooking time is only 3 minutes total(?) Please explain - thank you!

In reply to Pascale. I love hearing you enjoyed the Mongolian Beef so much! You can simply double the recipe and keep the cooking time the same. If you find that the meat is a bit overcooked, reduce the cooking time to 2 minutes when doubling.

This was such a big hit! I'll definitely be adding it into the regular rotation, although with three teens in the house, I think I need to double the recipe. Will that affect the cooking times at all?
Thanks again for such a great recipe!

In reply to Mallory. This one is my favorite Mallory. It has a large pot and small and so it works great for many things. But if you just want one large pot, this one is great as well.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. What pot do you recommend I purchase to go inside the instant pot for the pot-in-pot method?

In reply to Jamie. LOL! Your description of your daughter CRACKED me up! But I get it and when the pickiest critics approve--it is a huge accomplishment. I am honored it was one of my recipes :)

MY GIRLS ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS WITH THE RICE (DONE POT IN POT METHO) AND STEAMED BROCCOLI (steamed in the instapot just before I started on the meat). This is high praise considering I have a 6yo red head who evaluates my cooking like a Roman emperor at the coliseum. 😉

In reply to MJ Mast. I am so glad you enjoyed MJ! And It is great that you prefer the non saute method--makes this so much faster :)

My family loved this - we prefer the non-saute version. I used a 20 oz. can of chunk pineapple for the juice - it is about the right amount and we liked the pineapple chunks on the side. This recipe is great!

In reply to Leslie Denkers. Hi Leslie! First of all, I am glad you enjoyed this recipe! The 7 cup bowl can be hard to find. I understand your hesitation as rice does expand--equaling more than 3 cups cooked. 1.5 cups dry rice equals over 4 cups.
