Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently purchased the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker after doing some research and so far I'm very pleased with its capabilities. I've never cooked with a pressure cooker before but I have fond memories as a young boy watching & hearing my Grandma's pressure cooker hissing and steaming on top of the stove and the aroma of pot roast filling the house. Now, I feel like I've found a great SECRET COOKING DISCOVERY! I'm not much of a cook...and I don't cook very often, but now I feel like I'm a cross between Wolfgang Puck and Chef Gordon Ramsey! So far I've made beef stew, lemon pepper chicken, St Louis style spare ribs and my last masterpiece was BBQ baby back ribs. If you like fall off the bone ribs like I do, then this is your secret weapon! Only takes about an hour with prep and your dinner guests will think you've slow cooked those ribs all day. Just marinate the ribs for a couple hours in your favorite BBQ sauce, I like Bulls Eye, 1 1/2 cup beef broth or water, and pressure cook for 40 minutes on high pressure. Be careful to remove the ribs, they will be falling apart, baste with more BBQ sauce, then grill them on a BBQ or under the broiler at 450 degrees until nice and brown! See photo's... This pressure cooker makes great meals fast! I really like the sauté function because you can make the whole meal in one pot with less clean up. With most pressure cooker recipes just sauté onions and fresh garlic on normal sauté setting and remove from pot, then throw your meat in and brown it in the pot, add back in the onions, broth or water, seasonings and put the veges on top (put whole carrots and half cut potatoes because if you cut the veges up into small pieces, they will overcook). Press Meat/Stew and go with the default (high pressure) and default time. Do a natural pressure release (I put a wet kitchen towel over the top of the cooker for about 8 to 10 minutes to speed up the cooling) then release the rest of pressure with the steam release knob. All and all, I am very pleased with the Instant Pot. The stainless steel 6 qt. pot is heavy and durable and cleanup is easy just make sure to remove the silicone seal and wash after ever meal. Also make sure the seal is on properly, it should spin inside the lid if properly fit. Do a search on the internet for pressure cooking recipes and just follow and experiment with different recipes, you'll be amazed! I hope this review helped make your decision easier like some of the other Instant Pot reviews, you won’t be disappointed with this purchase!
