- nonethewiser 3y agoWell sure, for pressure and slow cooking. You could say the same thing about the microwave.
- tycho-newman 3y agoChef Mike is the hardest working chef in the kitchen!
- thot_experiment 3y agoMy partner's instant pot also does toasting/air frying/normal cooking, I've been very impressed with it.

- nathancahill 3y agoBought this to see what the hype was about. Hardly use it any more, the Instant Pot is just too small to be useful for air frying. 90% of the things come out better in the oven in convection mode. Biggest level up was just lightly dusting anything with a starch or flour (lentil flour is awesome) and then a few light sprays of olive oil.
- dartos 3y agoCould you? Two different models microwaves cook pretty differently from each other. Especially if they have differing wattage.
- 8organicbits 3y agoAnother is that a microwave doesn't operate at a set pressure, so even the same model will behave differently at different evelations.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThat's true of pretty much all cooking (and baking) except when using a pressure cooker, so it's kind of a given - people learn to cook given their local pressure and humidity levels. But then again, cooking is poor man's process engineering - what you do when you don't particularly care about quality and consistency, or at least don't have access to hardware and methods to ensure them.
- dartos 3y agoYeah so the instant pot is an exceptionally good kitchen tool for sharing recipes with others in a reproducible way.
- omnimus 3y agoArent most things in a kitchen standardized cooking device? Like stainless pan is stainless pan…
- internet101010 3y agoKind of. But turning a stove up to medium-high and reducing to a simmer can lead to different outcomes depending on how the stove is calibrated and someone's interpretation of "simmer".
