Is it a pressure cooker?

slovelad

@RiverRatSkier its basically like a croc pot, rice maker, pressure cooker. All in one 

my guess is that it doesn't do any of them very well

Their  good for cooking fast.takes getting use to. I use it most to cook chicken breast. Frozen or thawed. After done pour off juice, pull it with forks,  then add salsa Verde. Good for tacos and enchiladas. Also I do pulled beef same way but smoke it for 3 hours put in cooker for a hour on high pressure. Pour juice add pureed Chipotles with Adobe from can and canned enchilada sauce. Just look up electric pressure cooker vids on YouTube. Your gonna like it using it.  It's super convenient.

Actually those things get pretty decent reviews. Pressure cookers have kind of fallen out of "fashion" in the last couple of decades but they are a very underrated/underused piece of kit.

Here's a link to recipes from one of the vendors of these things: http://instantpot.com/recipes/

I've been usung the daylights out of mine, searing for stews and pressure cook. It's the bomb for curries

I think you asked about corned beef earlier and @Nolaegghead mentioned making pastrami.   Here is a recipe for pastrami that includes finishing in a pressure cooker.

This is just one example.  I have seen other cool ideas for pressure cookers on here as well.  I think you are gonna like this.  

Respect to the grandma! @NPHuskerFL

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

I don't need another cooking tool.  Sous Vid, griddle, eggs, now a pressure cooker.

Tell the OP its terrible.  My wife will kick me out if I bring home another way to cook.  My kitchen already looks lke the one on Chopped .... well at least CutThroat Kitchen anyway.

The joy of these puppies is that they replace loads of other stuff. You will increase your workspace. When you prove this to her she will let you get the Wolfgang Puck pressure oven. Then you will have a free ticket to buy more egg stuff.

Here's a text my friend sent me thanking me for showing him the joys of pressure cooking. And a pic of the sandwiches I made.

 I just bought a Fagor multi cooker from the Chef's Catalog. I will be learning about it's capabilities after the Holidays. I wanted a good rice cooker and stumbled on to this. Reviews were good, so I bit.

Just made some of the best rice I've ever made, and I make rice A LOT ! @CtTOPGUN . It's like magic lol it just cooks it so much different than a regular rice maker. Pretty amazing.

We need to buy a new rice cooker. Our 20 year old zojirushi is looking cruddy and my wife wants something new. (still works though!)  I may get her one of these instead if it makes great rice.

That looks like it came right out of Star Wars. Be watching your mail, I am sending you something. Loved the stickers.

 @YukonRon glad you got them! And also glad you like the design. I was hoping to see them all around the city on every stop sign and bus. But atleast Nola is free... Lol
