When the weather starts getting colder I start creating stews and soups. But as busy as I am, I don’t want to spend all day cooking it. The Insta Pot came into my life a few months ago, and I have made a few things in it that have all turned out amazing. So why not a beef stew. It was the best Insta Pot beef stew I have ever had, heck it was the best beef stew I ever had.

I Hate Touching Raw Meat

Everyone that knows me, knows I hate touching raw meat. Like I despise it to the core of my being. So with amazing tools from Pampered Chef and other companies, I have created ways to not touch raw meat. After I cut the meat, I added it to a zipper bag that had flour and a bunch of seasonings in it.
