2023-11-07:  I basically tried to use the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo recipe from the Speedi recipe book that came with the Speedi.  The sausages turned black outside although, praise Heaven, they didn't have a burnt taste.  Next time instead of using the whole fifteen minutes on the sausage, I think I should put it on Speedi meals for 5 minutes, then add the sausage in and set it for 10 more minutes.

2023-11-05:  first experiment.  I used the air fryer rack shown below.  Four pieces of bacon on bake/roast at 400° for seven minutes.  Came out pretty well perfect.  Mostly crisped up as it rested, but for crisper bacon I might try 8 minutes.

2023-11-06:  second experiment.  8 minutes made crispier bacon.  That's the way to go.

2023-11-16:  It seems that the crispness also is pretty dependent on the amount of fat in the bacon.  Fattier bacon may take a minute or two more.

Adapted from When with Jenn

Ingredients

• 1-2 lb chicken breasts, trimmed (2-3 chicken breasts depending on size)
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 2 packets chicken gravy mix
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups water

Method

1. Put chicken in the pot without the crisper tray.
2. Mix all the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.  (Okay, you could skip the bowl and just pour it all into the pot, but things mix so much more nicely if done separately.  On the other hand, this is a slow cook recipe, so it might not make a difference.)
3. Cook using "Slow Cook" setting on LOW for 6-8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours)
4. Break chicken apart and serve with sides of your choice. 

This turned out fine.  I cooked on low for 6.5 hours.  Eight hours would have made the  chicken more tender.

On the side I had steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes.  Potatoes and gravy... my childhood favorite.

1. Chicken preparation:  In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon dried chives and 1 tablespoon onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to coat on both sides. This can marinate up to 8 hours.
 
2. Add 2 cups of panko breaded crumbs and 1 tablespoon onion powder, salt and pepper to a plate . Mix together and press chicken cutlets in the crumbs to cover all of the chicken.
 
3. Slice 1.5 pounds of Yukon potatoes and add to the inner pot. Add 2 cups water, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp each onion and garlic powder, stir.
 
4. Put the empty crisper tray on top.  Select Speedi Meals 375 20 mins.
 
5. After 12 mins, spray the crisper try with avocado oil and add the marinated breaded chicken cutlets to the crisper tray. Spray the tops with more avocado oil .
 
6. Flip the chicken when golden brown on top (about 5 to 6 mins) Spray with oil again. Check again a few mins later to make sure they are golden brown on both sides and 165 degrees F with an instant read thermometer . Remove to a plate.
 
7. Check potatoes for doneness . Remove to a bowl and toss with chives, butter and more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes:

2023-09-17:  I tried this for the first time.  Turned out really well on the first try.  My chicken breasts were thicker than average, so I added a bit of time towards the end after flipping the chicken, and the breasts still turned out  juicy and tasty.  The spice combo both on the chicken and the potatoes was really nice.  

2023-11-02:  Apprarently the original intent was to use chicken cutlets, breasts sliced in half horizontally, so that's why mine took longer than expected.

Coating for salmon:

• 2 tablespoons Digon mustard
• 1 tsp paparikia
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspon kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• olive oil

Coat four 6-ounce salmon fillets, then bake at 400° for 10 minutes per the source.  My fillets were pretty thick so that was not sufficient.  I added 10 minutes on bake at 350°.  That was nearly perfect.  Next time I would try 4 minuts.

Notes:

2023-08-16a:  In terms of taste I thought this was okay, but I liked the lemon pepper and salt version better.

Crisper tray in lower position, put four strips of bacon on the tray, and cook on "bake/roast" for 10 minutes at 400°.  Worked well.

2023:11-14:  Tried it with the wire rack and parchment paper.  I think the bacon turned out slightly less crispy, and much more curly at the ends.

2023-08-14:  Experiment 1.  I prepared the salmon with olive oil and spices, the spices being salt and lemon pepper.  Tray in upper position.  First I tried bake for 8 minutes at 400°.  Parts were still uncooked.  I finished it off on bake for 5 minutes at 350°.  Seemed to turn out okay.

Next time around I think I'll try just 350° but for a longer time, say 10 minutes to start with.

G'morning, folks. Good day yesterday. Full night's sleep plus two naps. My sleep deficit is fading. Made roasted potatoes with blackening seasoning. Not much kick. Apparently I have to use a lot more of the spices.

I eat a cup of wheat berries every day for breakfast, and in the past I cooked them on the stove. Here is my Speedi adaptation.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups of raw red wheat berries
• 6 cups of water

METHOD

Remove crisper tray from pot. Pour wheat berries in pot. Pour in water. Set for 30 minutes on the steam function. Check after 20 minutes. Once, soft, drain wheat berries from pot into strainer and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Refrigerate. This will produce an al dente consistency. Cook longer if you like them softer.

Notes:

2023-08-19: Today I cooked them for 25 minutes. Still al dente. Next time try 30 minutes to get them a bit softer.

1 cup of rice
2 cups of water
1 kielbasa, sliced
1 can of cream of mushroom soup.  Then shake the remaining bits out using half a can of water

Set 10 minutes on the steam setting.

2023-08-27:  This time I wanted to try to get the kielbasa browned a bit, so I used the steam and bake setting using 5 minutes at 390° with 2.5 cups of water.  Turned out well.  Next time I'll try either a longer time or a higher temp to see if I can get it more brown.

2023-09-14:  This time I wanted to try to get the kielbasa browned a bit, so I used the steam and bake setting using 6 minutes at 390° with 2.5 cups of water.  

1. Put 2.5 cups of water, 1 cup of rice, a handful of canned jalapeño slices, and one can of cream of mushroom soup in pot.
2. Fill the can half full of water and give it a good shake to get the stuff off the sides.  Pour into pot.
3. Put tray in upper position.  Slice kielbasa into rounds and arrange in a single layer on the tray.
4. Use the steam and bake setting for 6 minutes at 390°. 

Results:  I really liked the browning on the kielbasa.  The rice was pretty sticky on the bottom of the pot, so I scraped it up right away.  The texture of the rice surprised me.  I should try this again next time but add the soup/water at the end to see if I like that better.

2023-09-16:  This time I wanted to try to adding the soup at the end.

1. Put 2.5 cups of water and 1 cup of rice in pot.
2. Put tray in upper position.  Slice kielbasa into rounds and arrange in a single layer on the tray.
3. Use the steam and bake setting for 6 minutes at 390°. 
4. Remove kielbasa to a bowl.
5. Add mushroom soup to rice.  Fill the can half full of water.  Shake to get the rest of the soup loose.  Add to rice.  Mix.

Results:  I like the creamy consistency of the rice better this way, but when you add the soup mix, of course, it cools the rice off.  I should do two more experiments.  1.  Heat the soup and water in the microwave and then add to rice at the end.  2.  Start with rice, 3 cups of water, soup and half a can of water.
