Hi - it would be really helpful if you could also include versions of these recipes which clarify how to cook on the hob or in an oven as not everyone owns an instant pot (or a pressure cooker). I'm in the UK. The recipes look great but there isn't enough info in them to enable me to cook these in an old-school manner!
Thank you! =)
