It’s got more functions than I’ll ever use. I’m not a very good cook, but I can make things tasty with it.

In mine.

My favorite quick roast is season (salt/pepper/garlic) and brown a 3 lb roast on all sides, sprinkle with a package of onion soup mix and some fresh thyme, top with a heap of thinly sliced onions (usually 3 medium sized) and pour a whole bottle of beer over the whole thing. I set mine on “meat” setting for 80 min. Then let it slow release. I shred the beef and thicken the onion gravy.

Carry on.

That was my laugh for the day

Put the herb in a vacuum seal bag. Forget the time and pressure settings.

They say it works well with no smell.

Just saying.....

The one of the things I like is that the instantP uses less juice than my electric stove top. Just messed around and made some rice, beans and timed it boiling water. Like many pressure cookers tne thing to note is the 6 quart only has 4 ½ quarts of usable space inside...

But probably the most useful trick is cooking solidly frozen chicken breasts or thighs.

15 minutes on high and they are moist and juicy.

Add lots of root veggies and spices and sometimes non-fatty pork. It's amazing to have bean dishes in a little over an hour. Healthy and not expensive.

I had tried to cook them in the pressure cooker and they came out ugly. The instant pot version didn't.

If you like salmon, here's an Instant Pot recipe that is delicious.

She also reports it is fantastic for cooking dried beans

She is giving us one for Christmas. Last year it was an air fryer which we have enjoyed.
