A Cook's Dream!
I bought my 8 qt Instant Pot a couple of weeks ago and am happy I bought the larger 8 qt. I would have been disappointed with a smaller one because as a pressure cooker you can't fill it all the way to the top, but if you want to cook smaller portions you can. The Instant Pot has a great set of options! Use it to Slow Cook, Saute, Pressure Cook either with manual settings or with the push of a button located on the pot. A deciding factor for me was that the inner pot is all stainless steel, very safe with no chipping and dangerous coatings. The stainless steel pot is easy to clean no matter what has been cooked in it. Since getting this Instant Pot, my stove has not been used. It's very important to not let this Pot intimidate you to the point of not using it. I joined an Instant Pot Facebook group and have seen many people who have not used their pots because they were afraid to. This is not your Grandma's pressure cooker. It has so many safety features built into it, making it very safe to use. I dove right in with my pot, determined to learn how to use it. I made Chicken and Vegetables the first night that wound up being a very good soup because it cooks so incredibly fast. I learned that I needed to follow some recipes before going off on my own. I have made boiled eggs that turned out so perfect, no stove can make them like this Instant Pot. I have made roast, chicken, spaghetti, pork roast, so many things that turned out so good and yet so fast. I bought some accessories on Amazon to use with my Instant Pot. Poached egg cups which I have a photo of below. Yummy poached eggs so quick and easy. Today I finished up making yogurt (also a photo below). I had never made yogurt before but will be making this a lot now with my Instant Pot. The 8 qt. Instant Pot was an excellent choice for me since I don't want to cook all day in order to get a healthy and great dinner on the table. Get it, you won't be sorry!
