InstaPot Anyone??

girl_dee · 09-23-2018, 07:21 PM

Ok i was skeptical, i thought this was going to be another appliance destined for the garage...but OMG. I.LOVE.THIS.THING.

Does anyone else use one?

I don't use it as much as my spouse-to-be, but I have touched a few buttons.

What is it? Like a crock pot but cooks in a fraction of the time?

It does EVERYTHING! It is actually a pressure cooker, but it also functions as a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, even makes yogurt.

We cooked baby back ribs in it for 25 minutes today and they fell off the bone... SO good!

I can *boil* a dozen eggs at a time and they peel SO easy and are cooked perfect every time.

It’s amazing.

Don’t forget it’s a rice cooker too!

Care to share your rib recipe, Dee?

I have one but haven’t used it very often. The first time I used it, I made a pork roast that turned out so tender and juicy. I tried to make a pork roast again, and it came out so damn dry that it was comical.

Haven’t tried it as a rice cooker yet.

So is there a better brand of instapot or are they all basically the same. I bought an airfryer for the house and one for the camper. Don't use it as much as I thought I would and not sure it will be a good camping cooker, but the instapot seems like it might be.

I have no idea about other brands, but I’d start by searching “Instant Pot vs other brands” on Google and YouTube. I don’t have FACEBOOK but there may be some info there, too.

I got info from Consumer Reports online before I bought mine. I'm really happy with it. It's the Crock-Pot brand of multicooker. It was about $20 less than the same type of InstaPot.

I think it would be amazing for camping!

I got an Insatnt Pot last fall, and a new cookbook called the Keto Instant Pot Recipe Book!
It's pretty good!

So far, I've made a Bacon and Egg breakfast bake, and Cauliflower and Chicken Casserole.

Sometime I want to make the Mexican meatloaf and Beef Stroganoff.

I've hard boiled eggs in it, and cooked spaghetti squash.

What do make most often?
