It is basically a pressure cooker/slow cooker. There seem to be a lot of people online obsessed with them.

I pretty much cook every meal at home so I am interested in trying it out here tomorrow.

I just got one yesterday too. A lot of the indian recipes I've been looking at call for an instant pot, so MIL got us one. Got a few cookbooks with it. Pressure cookers kinda freak me out but I know im gonna love it once I figure it out.

Yea regular pressure cooker pots always scared the shit out of me. I would never use one, afraid they would explode or something. I trust this thing though.

I have a dedicated pressure cooker (works on a higher pressure which I needed for canning) and a rice/slow cooker. I use both routinely tho. That's a good gift.

Keep in mind, you don't need to cook something until it falls apart, a chicken breast for like 7 (12 frozen) minutes fully cooks, stays juicy, has a wonderful texture.

this is the one I got, he got me the 8 quart (waaaay bigger than I need) because he got a deal on it

"Instant Pot" is the more well known brand of these things but this is the exact same thing

You could say pressure cookers are good for mushrooms if instant pot isn't enough

I love my Instant Pot. Been able to use it to both be lazy and mildly impress an ex-culinary school ladyfriend. So far I've made pressure-steamed artichokes (with herbs infusing the steaming water), pork chile verde and mushroom risotto. The prep tends to take longer than the cooking.

I think for New Year's I'm going to use it to make either mulled cider or wassail.

My aunt has one, my parents bought one, and they bought my grandparents one. I hear they make cooking a breeze.

I got one 5 years ago for Christmas. Head it for the first time about 2 months ago. Have used it about 4 times a week since.

I didn't use it for so long because I was intimidated. After using it there was no reason for the intimidation. It's the best

I made ribs in it tonight and they turned out very good, whole process only took an hour too.
Pics to come.

My one complaint is all the quick cooking times they give you are bullshit because it takes like 15 minutes for it to build up heat and pressure before the cooking time actually starts.

Here are the ribs I made yesterday.

After cooking in the pressure cooker I sauced them and put them in the oven.
