- dflock 10y agoAlso a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer and yogurt maker. Works so, so well.
- angry-hacker 10y agoDoes it replace a stove for you?
- closed 10y agoFor most recipes, totally. I think many pressure cooker recipes don't involve other pans / the stove, which is convenient.
- dbg31415 10y agoTo people who haven't used one... You throw in totally rock-solid frozen chicken breasts, some other stuff... 20 minutes later your taco meat is ready... in a slower cooker that'd take 4-6 hours. If you clicked into the Amazon link above thinking the "5:20" means 5 minutes 20 seconds. Not the slow cooker 5 hours 20 minutes. It's nothing short of magic how fast this thing works. Total game changer for people who want cook at home. 0 pre-planning required, just grab stuff out of the freezer when you're ready to eat.
- JohnJamesRambo 10y agoThank you for posting this, I'm looking for gift ideas for my brother in college and this looks amazing. I need one too it feels like! I had never even heard of this sort of device.
- Dowwie 10y agoThis is a gem, for sure. Dried beans don't turn out exactly as hoped, but this imperfection doesn't stop me from using the instant pot for them.
- dfrey 10y agoI have an instant pot and it's pretty good, but it's not the only cooking device you will ever need. The issue I have with it is that because it's a sealed pressure cooker, everything comes out a bit "boiled" looking/tasting. That's fine for chili or stew, but not so great for chicken.
- closed 10y agoThat's fair. I might be preaching to the choir here, but something that might help is braising the meat in a small amount of liquid, rather than stewing it by covering it in liquid. http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-a-stew-and-a-braise-225804 http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-a-stew...
