In my never-ending quest for ultra-laziness in the kitchen, I tested out reheating some cubed-up pasta in the APO. For starters, one of my main kitchen tools is the Souper Cubes, which is a silicone ice-cube-style mold for leftovers. It lets you freeze your food into bricks for compact storage:

They work for soup, as well as softer stuff like shredded meats & pastas. This batch had egg-drop soup & some leftover spicy marinara pasta with mini Italian meatballs:

I didn't really squish them down or anything, but it's kinda cubey lol:

I've been experimenting with my new 10oz wide-rimmed soup bowls lately:

I usually make a quick pasta dish in the Instapot once a week:

Basic procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 170F SVM (rear fan) 100% humidity
2. Load in bowl with a pasta brick in it
3. Set timer for 20 minutes

To freeze, I throw the leftovers in the Souper Cube, flash-freeze for a couple hours (or overnight, or longer when I forget LOL), then wrap the cubes in Press 'N Seal (like Saran wrap but with micro suction cups), then put those in a labeled gallon-sized Ziploc freezer bag.

With the APO, I can now grab a cube (or two) & reheat a snack-sized or dinner-sized meal totally hands-free! This is really great for feeding kids too, as when my nephews are over, I can throw some Macaroni & Cheese cubes in with zero stove babysitting or cleanup required!

So I went to a restaurant the other day & they had this awesome baked-potato soup topped with caramelized bacon & onions, but with a broiled cheese crust on top:

It was awesome & I knew I had to replicate it in the APO lol. There are a couple of ways to do the soup in the Instapot, like the regular method;

Or with hash browns: (cheat version!)

Although for this test batch, I used Panera's broccoli-cheddar soup. Instapot copycat version here:

Side note, I like to freeze all of my soups into Souper Cubes, like this:

I picked up some special wide-rim, shallow soup bowls for this project:

Basically just microwaved the soup to heat it up in the bowl, topped it generously with shredded cheese, and then did a cold-start APO job. Tested both rear-fan & top & rear. Top & rear came out the best, pretty much just set it to max-temp (482F NVSM top & rear) & babysit it to make sure it doesn't burn past your liking.

Really, REALLY good! I will now be making this ALL the time until I am sick of it lol. This was a fantastic epiphany, akin to getting introduced to griddled muffins (take a muffin, slice it in half vertically, butter it, then griddle it on a cast-iron skillet to get a toasted surface, sooooo good lol).
