I wouldn't be without one; been using pressure cookers and canners for 48 years.

I only use mine for one thing - hard cooked eggs - but I wouldn't be without it.  I make a lot of HCE weekly, have tried every method known to man and would always end up with mangled eggs.  Results using the instant pot are consistent and reliable.  They peel easily and cleanly

@JeanLouiseFinch same here! I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😄

I own the 6qt Ninja Foodi and hate it.  Its heavy and combersome.  Unless you use it often and have counter space for that monster it is a pain to carry around.  I after attempting 3 pressure cooked meals (all different meats), I came to the realization that I don't care for the texture of pressure cooked meals.  I love everything cooked in me Le Creuset dutch ovens but NOT a pressure cooker.

At the moment the Ninja is a very expensive air fryer as that is the only function I use it for.

I use it more as a pressure cooker than a slow cooker.

Love it!!

To Ainhisg;  I need to eat at your house!  Yum!  Yes, I have a 6qt and a 2 qt instapot.  I have used it 3 times in 3 years now to make spaghetti.  However, two out of the three times the "Burn" notice came on and it didn't come out right.  I did have plenty of liquid in it too.  It took me 2 1/2 years to get the courage up to use it!,  I'd heard the horror stories ove4 the years of pressure cookers but this one has multiple safety features and is safe!  Yet, I am doing something wrong.

@Rabbit Foot 4 Paws i only make the meat sauce in the pressure cooker and would be glad to share the recipe. It is to die for. I cook the actual spaghetti noodles on the stove.

I gave mine away too...

Found it to be too cumbersome and complicated.

I much prefer my Hamilton Beach Crockpot and the Air Fryer a friend gave me for my birthday - I use them several times a week - Love 'em! ♥

@Ainhisg I would love to see your spaghetti sauce recipe, if you would kindly post it.  Thanks in advance,

I love mine and have given 6 qt duos as gifts. I started with a duo and now use a duo plus that has auto sealing and venting. For me it was a nice upgrade.

It's great for beans, rice,,soups, stews. Ribs! I was at a friend's house last week and she made baby back ribs in hers. They cooked in the pot, then she finished them with some barbecue sauce under the broiler. They were fantastic!
