Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although it looks good, the truth is it’ll continue to impress and amaze you if you don’t actually cook with it. Just put it up on the mantle over your fireplace and enjoy it from afar. The very first time I actually cooked with it (after doing the water test) I’d planned on doing a slow cooked pulled pork meal. I set it on slow cook and after 4 hours it barely browned the roast. Now I have an incredibly busy career and work schedule and no time to start over so I turned it off and switched to pressure cook and that’s when the four of July rekindled! After about 5 minutes the steamer nozzle began its arduous task of spewing water and steam all over my tiny perfect little kitchen in my tiny beautiful little houseboat here on Lake Union. Yes... my kitchen was turning into a rain forest and the overwhelming smell of BBQ sauce. I managed to bare through till the end. After the meal was over I began cleaning immediately. There were parcels of meat stuck on the bottom so I took a soft cloth and a pinch of comet to clean it off. It removed not only the meat but it also removed all the finish off the bottom of the insert. It was totally gone and looked horrible. After some thought into the future of my IntsaPot I simply concluded that it would continue to become more scratched and burn more food. I hope this helps you out in your purchasing of the InstaPot and good luck👌
