I open all of my pressure cooker demos and classes making this dip because this recipe showcases how quickly and easily the stubborn eggplant (which takes, forever to become tender) can be prepared.

UPDATE: Hip Pressure Cooking no longer supports or recommends the Instant Pot SMART. The app updates have been irregular and some phones/tablets that used to run the app no longer work. Readers of this site have not gotten the consistent support of this feature from Instant Pot and the script parameters have changed without this website being informed – so scripts downloaded from this site no longer work. This website was the first supporter and believer in this technology, but the ongoing maintenance, changes, and un-coordination of updates have made this cooker, its app and its scripts a complete nightmare to work with or support.
The Hip Pressure Cooking scripts have been removed from this website. Sorry.
Instant Pot SMART – the Bluetooth Connected Multi-cooker- together with its app can run a custom set of instructions that tell it what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Some recipes on this website include recipe scripts for this smartcooker.
