Any Instant Pot users here?

Just got one delivered yesterday, made awesome rice and hard boiled eggs. Looking for more recipes.

For those of you that don't know what it is:

Instant Pot (Amazon)

Oooh, I new toy.  I'd be very interested in reports on how this works.

another gizmo i keep wanting to try.  I saw a cookbook recently that looked good - by america's test kitchen - called 'pressure cooker perfection.' seemed to have some useful stuff in it.

Dang... I thought it was something you stirred into your beverage of choice for that little extra buzz

Bought one on Amazon Prime day for $69. Supposed to be here Friday. Dang this BGE forum sure knows how to help me spend money. There have been some great threads abt this type of cooking.

Seriously disappointed in this thread.

There was a big thread on this and other electric pressure cookers a few months ago. The search function should turn that up.

I noticed that the Amazon link supports LZ-Grace. Made me smile!

This thing is cool. Been messing with it all weekend. Doing my 2nd beef stew in 2 days. Did some brown rice earlier, about to pressure cook some peach then slice and sear them in it for some ice cream. The beef stew recipe with a red wine reduction in the book is really good. You actually set it to sauté and sear it then change to pressure cooking and cook then add wine and reduce all in the pot. This is my lunch for the week pretty sure it tastes way better than it looks.

I don't have the Instant Pot, but I do have an Elite 8qt electric pressure cooker. It's basically the same thing. I love mine. It has basically retired my crock pot. If you ever get into pressure canning or extremely high volume pressure cooking, I use and highly recommend one of the ole standbys from American. They are as heavy duty as it gets. All of them run at a true 15 PSI. Also you can modify them (I'm not recommending that you do it) to run at 20 PSI. The same pressure as their sanitizers.

I see I'm not the only one who expected something different.

I do not recommend that method for those who are inexperienced

This looks interesting,  but, we already have like 3 big slow cookers and 4 little ones.  I know this is faster, but not worth it to just 3 people in our house.

I have now seen it all--god bless I haven't laughed that hard in years.

That is efficiency at it's finest--sure beats rolling papers for a collection method

You have to try beef stroganoff in this.  Amazing and so quick

That was on sale for $69 on prime day several here picked them up.

@Ladenback69, the difference between food cooked in a pressure cooker versus a  slow cooker is the reason many people like them. The flavor and nutrient retention is far superior in a pressure cooker. We also have three big slow cookers that we use strictly for keeping food warm for large get togethers. Just my opinion.
