Kind of two posts together in one since one is lacking on many pics (not my fault). Wife had unthawed about a 6 lb chicken and being Saturday and a long week along with an unplanned trip to help my buddy out with plumbing issues (1 1/2 hours one way) we decided to do the bird in the nuwave oven mom had said we could have before she passed. Had never used it yet but glad we did.

That was just getting started, then about 15 minutes in

Should've said she did inject it with melted butter with old bay and garlic seasonings mixed in. Cooked 45 minutes breast down then flipped and another 45 minutes. Not sure of time of this pic

But it was getting pretty and smelled awesome. Here it is after another 45 minutes...oh my!

Previous pic breast was 163 degrees. It was juicy

All carved up

My plate with canned carrots from last year and baked tater with butter and sour cream.

It all was awesome! I could cut through the breast with a fork. Skin was a bit rubbery but thats ok, not good for me anyways so I didn't eat it all...but in my mind means I can have more bacon! Can't wait to try other foods in it. Was also amazed there was very little heat given off from it.

Now the other part...came home earlier this week to my wife using the little instapot that was mom's. She's not so good with food porn pics but a pic with venison in it

She also had CI skillet with sauted onions and mushrooms in it, which I took a pic of but ended up with this...(use your imagination)

I know! I felt the same way. Anyways she took the venison out and put it in the pan with mushrooms and onion, it was just falling apart tender! She made gravy with juices out of instapot and cooked up some egg noodles for me while she had hers over riced cauliflower. Oh my was it ever good!

Would say for first time users of nuwave and instapot they were both winners!
And for Robert @tx smoker who seen my gravy covered meal...that's what was under that mess of gravy.

And as a reminder to stay safe...my son needed a mask to go to dentist office tomorrow so this is what I left for him on his counter to come home to after work about 5 am

Thanks for looking!

Should've proof read it first...just noticed title said beef when it was venison, my bad but not sure how to edit it.

Ryan
 
Ryan I think the edit for title is to the right of it. That all looks great. We love our instant pots!!

Thank you! I will check out the edit. And the instapot was wonderful, wife said she would like a bigger one but since our son just moved out not long ago we are still trying to adjust to cooking for two so we will see.

Fixed the title, thanks @jcam222

Wife had unthawed about a 6 lb chicken

Hmmmm...to "unthaw" would be to freeze, would it not? :emoji_wink:

And for Robert [ATTACH]458958[/ATTACH] tx smoker who seen my gravy covered meal...that's what was under that mess of gravy.

Yep, and it still looks amazing the second time around. Fantastic looking meal and a great presentation of good o'l down-home comfort food. Great job by you and your wife. That Nuwave oven looks pretty cool Don't know that I've ever seen one of those. Assuming the heat is adjustable could you maybe run the temp up for the last little bit of cook time to crust the skin?

Nice job buddy!!

Thanks Robert, I appreciate it! I guess you might be right...unthawed...maybe goes along with...hot water heater...or maybe just being bass ackwards! :emoji_laughing:
Can't turn the temp up anymore on nuwave, it was already on high.

Boy howdy Ryan both those cooks look to be absolutely spectacular from where I'm sitting, big Like! I'd be thrilled to be sitting down to either dish, or both! RAY

Thanks Ray, I appreciate it! They both turned out really good. Looking forward to more of them. Still had some venison left so a repeat of that meal except over mashed taters tonight.

The bird and speedbeef look really great. I'll take a loaded up plate. Like
Thanks Gator! Leftover chicken is gonna be made into chicken salad and had venison left so wife made more gravy and mushrooms over mashed taters tonight...very tasty!
