As Instant Pot Sales Plunge, Its Maker Looks for Another Hit
- leobg 4y agoSo, HN folks who bought one during the pandemic: Are you still using it?
- zen_1 4y agoI bought one heavily discounted, I use it on average one or twice a month as a slow cooker, and a bit more often as a rice cooker.
- whoknew1122 4y agoI bought one when they first came out. Still regularly use it.
- leobg 4y agoWhat’s your favorite dish/recipe?
- niloc132 4y agoI like it as a single appliance to replace a rice cooker, crock pot, and simplify a few things that might be made on the stove. * hard boiled eggs * rice * cheesecake * yogurt * chicken wings/drumsticks * steel cut oats None of this is terribly amazing, but it is nice to just be able to get some of this stuff cooked simply.
- caseyf 4y agoYes, but only as a pressure cooker
- MissTake 4y agoAbout 3 times a week. Salmon, whole chickens, Chili, and stew are very regular visitors.
- _fat_santa 4y agoI have one but I never use it, I always go for the slow cooker instead. For me there’s a very limited number of things I slow cook/instant pot. For those things I always prepare hours in advance so there’s no need for a pressure cooker.
- cf100clunk 4y agoWhen I learned that an Instant Pot doesn't do anything particularly different or better for my requirements than my already owned slow cookers and pressure cooker, apart from built-in timer programming, I passed. The pressure cooker is completely portable to kitchen stoves, camp stoves, or open fires (on a grate) and doubles as an autoclave for extreme sanitization if ever needed.
