@Jordan2

They have a baby 3qt...it’s perfect for 1-2 people.

And they seem to market it to apartment/RV cooks.

What's the difference between an Instant Pot and any other electric pressure cooker? I have a CE electric pressure cooker and it's probably the one appliance I use the most. I love it.Woman Happy

@SilleeMee Probably not a great deal, except maybe the number and internal programming of the automated settings. I do prefer cooking in stainless steel rather than nonstick, so that's a plus. I'd say it's my second most used appliance, only because I use my microwave so often to heat things up.

@Jordan2  I don't have a basement. But if I did something else would move to the basement to make space. I use mine too often not to have it convenient.

@SilleeMee

At the time they became popular, they were the only

electric pressure cooker to have a stainless steel inner liner.  

The competition has upped their game, so more brands

are now offering stainless.  I never would use Teflon in a 

‘high pressure setting, IMO.

 

Instant Pot has almost a cult following on social media. 

Lots of website, blogs, vlogs, Facebook pages devoted to

that appliance.  Also...they were one of the first cookers to

have a yogurt temperature function, as well. 

 

ETA:  I would remiss if I didn’t say...the Plant-Based Community,

which is huge, embraced this appliance...so much the recipe

book which accompanies the machine has 2 well-known 

Plant-Based chefs offering recipes.

I did see that on Pauley's show, first time I ever saw it.  I was intrigued....for 3 minutes and then I realized it would only sit and gather dust like all the other kitchen appliances I buy. Yes, I'm talking about YOU airless fryer...

Re: Instant Pot: 🌞CBS Sunday Morning

My wish list for the kitchen (besides a new one haha)

 

Instant Pot 6qt.

Air Fryer

VitaMix

 

My kitchen is totally bare bones.  I am the only person I know who doesn't even have a microwave (and I've never even wanted one of those!)

 

How I manage to eat is a mystery!

 

Cat LOL
