What is the PIP, Pot in Pot method of cooking?
When cooking a thicker meal such as this one or chili, you can use the PIP method of cooking. It allows you to cook without your meal being overly saturated with too much water or liquid. You will not receive the dreaded “burn” notice with this method either.
As you can see in the picture below, I use a 3qt pot inside the 6qt. However, in order to do this I put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the 6qt pot, then place the trivet inside with the 3qt pot on top. I fill the 3qt with all the ingredients. Pot in Pot method is used because this is a very thick meal that can give you a burn notice easily if not using the PIP method. Purchase this 3qt insert for under $12 and it works great especially for meals such as this one. This is the non-stick inner cooking pot. Grab the stainless steel one for under $20.
When using the PIP method, it takes a bit longer to cook your food thoroughly. With this recipe, 27 minutes with 10 minutes NPR worked perfectly using the non-stick insert.
