Title: Love it!
Review: My wife and I are really happy with our instant pot! She's been wanting one for a while and we finally picked one up on sale on Prime Day. Wish we hadn't waited so long - we use it almost daily. We like and follow the recipes on the Instant Pot website but this makes everything so much easier. I can't tell you how many times I overcooked pasta or the boiling water spilled over the sides of the pot making a mess. No more - set it and forget it - it comes out perfect every time. We bought the ceramic pot accessory and then threw away our old rice maker. This week we made Shepard's Pie and Spicy Veg Chili. Our son's new favorite meal is the Mac n Cheese recipe we found for Instant Pot. If you cook at home a lot this is a must have item because it makes cooking so much easier and efficient. We bought the 8 quart pot but in hindsight the 6 quart would have been sufficient for most of our cooking and would take up a little less counter space, but it is nice to have more room to be able to cook larger family meals periodically. Recommend!

Title: The 8-Qt IP is "ALL THAT"!
Review: My 8-quart Instant Pot arrived yesterday mid-day. This is my 4th or 5th electric pressure cooker, and it is replacing a Cooks Essentials 6-quart electric PC whose interior pot's non-stick lining had chipped. I also have some smaller Kuhn Rikon stovetop PCs, which permit really quick cooking for the recipes that fit into them.I "must" have a large electric pressure cooker for 5 things:1) I love to cook a whole chicken and make my chicken soup completely from scratch. In the U.S. our grocery stores have big chickens.2) I am hooked on my own Corned Beef and Cabbage, because I cook the corned beef the night before, and remove the fat after a day of refrigeration. It tastes "cleaner" but still has lots of flavor.3) Recipes for beef stews might limit the volume of potatoes, carrots, and onions to fit in the pot. An 8-quart pot allows me to use a larger cut of beef, and add more potatoes without jeopardizing the PC's ability to come up to pressure.4) PC recipes that take longer than an hour test my patience for hanging around. I like to "set it and forget it" for a while.5) Ribs. Ribs take up a lot of space, and most people don't limit themselves to a proper "single" portion. Set dry-rubbed ribs on a trivet in the PC and let the water's steam produce moist ribs. No BBQ sauce is needed!I still use my smaller stovetop PCs for:1) 3-qt is perfect size for rice. I prefer PC rice to rice cooker rice - less scorching. I freeze extra cooked rice.2) 2-qt is perfect for simple dinner for 2 - and fast - it takes little time to come up to pressure or for natural release.3) 5-qt braiser holds a full-size round cooling rack, allowing me to steam 4-5 chicken breasts or quickly steam asparagus.4) I use the 5-qt braiser when I need a truly "quick release" to add foods in stages. With a stovetop PC, you take the PC to the sink and run cold water on the lid to reduce the pressure quickly. You can't do that with an electric cooker.So, how about the 8-quart Instant Pot?1) The inner pot is high quality. Soaking solves a lot of cleaning problems in stainless steel.2) The silicone gasket fits very snugly. In fact, after I did my preliminary sudsy wash, it seemed like torture to get the gasket to fit correctly. I thought I had fit it correctly... until I tried to do the Water Test and I was unable to lock the lid in position. Thank goodness some kind souls on the Instant Pot Community page on Facebook helped me identify the problem. (When you get your 8-qt pot, observe carefully how the gasket fits before disassembling for washing.) Today,when I reassembled my IP, I patiently positioned the ring in one spot and patiently coaxed it into place, so apparently this old dog could still learn a new trick. (It is important that the gasket and the lid both be completely dry!)3) The 8-qt. machine is BIG, and TALL. My kitchen counters are the high standard height, and it seemed awkward to me to try to saute in the Instant Pot. (One person suggested strongly that I use a step ladder - obviously no senior should try sauteing from a ladder.) With my beef stew recipe, I had planned to saute mushrooms and onions on the stove anyway (both emit a LOT of liquid, plus there is more "umami" when prepared this way) and add them to the stew at the end. So I sauteed the beef in the same 6 3/4 qt Le Creuset pot I was going to use for the mushrooms (I don't flip as much food out of that pot as when I use a normal saute pan). My method worked fine for me. If you dread cleaning an extra pot/pan, then you might choose to do everything in the Instant Pot - your choice. Today I reflected that I might use a table at the lower standard counter height, which would make it easier for me to saute in the Instant Pot itself, as long as the cord reached. (I loved the oval pot of the Cooks Essential PC - it was so easy to saute in it!)4) The IP came up to pressure and down from pressure faster than the Cooks Essential PC. For a "quick" release, you don't have to wait as long before letting some steam out. And once the steam lever was released, the pressure came down very fast - that was a huge improvement over the Cook's Essential.5) You can choose different settings for "Saute": great when you want a simmer and not a rapid boil!6) There was plenty of extra room in the pot for the additional potatoes and carrots DH wants in the next batch.7) Our beef stew was delightful, just as mouth-watering as doing the whole nine yards of Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon.I am looking forward to trying many more recipes in this versatile cooker.p.s. The packaging impressed me a lot! There was a reinforced plastic strap around the Instant Pot shipping box that made it easy to remove from the slightly larger Amazon shipping box. Inside the Instant Pot shipping box was the product box with all the graphics as you might see on a store shelf. The product box also had a plastic strap to coax the product box out of the Instant Pot shipping box. The product box had styrofoam reinforcement of the product at top and bottom. So the product was well protected during its shipping!

Title: Instant Pot is amazing!
Review: This is my second Instant Pot. I have found myself needing more than one and so I asked for this second larger one for my birthday. It is so easy to use. Our family uses it weekly. I make all of our beans from dry in it as well as rice, soups, stews, roasts, and anything else. It works for so many things. I love the improved lid on this. My original one had a part that fell off into the sink when I was washing it so I have to be super careful with it. This newer design just has a switch that changes the venting. I run the stainless bowl in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. It has not leaked and nothing has stuck to it. I think this is my favorite kitchen appliance. These InstantPots are great and I have never had any issues with safety. Exceptional product!

Title: Amazing LOVE IT, can't live without it. No more pressure cookers for me.
Review: I totally, totally love mine and plan to buy a few as gifts. I have a few pressure cookers and would give them all up but for my pressure canner to for this instant pot. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I have used most of the setting and have found it easy to use, the sky is the limit. So far I have made a roast with potatoes and carrots, ham and bean soup, bacon and bean soup, mash potatoes, old fashion rice, rotisserie chicken, Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo just to name a few turns out amazing cooked at the same time in one pot. I even cooked meat and used the fast release to add the vegetables later. Everything turned out amazing. Great to be able to cook it all at once which means less clean up. I love how it holds things warm, little or no steam coming out and almost no noise but for when it starts up. You get all the things you love with a pressure cook with none of the things you don’t like plus so much more.I told my son they needed one, he said I don’t like food cooked in a slow cooker, I told him this is nothing like that. They were coming over this weekend so I told them to let me make a rotisserie chicke, give it a try and see what you think. I waited until they got here and showed them from start to finish how easy it was, they totally fell in love with it. I will be buying them one this week. They will get so much enjoyment out of it with good tasting healthy food.Let’s face it everyone is looking for healthier ways of cooking that cuts your time in half, for my family this is the way to go. I love that everything is stainless steel, easy to use, very little mess and is so quite it is a shame not to have one. I got the 8qt for me and will be getting the 6 qt for my son and another one for a friend. I am also checking into getting another pan for the inside so I can go from making one things to another without washing it why it is hot. There are also some Accessories I want.It is made of good quality and will last for years. I may even buy another one for myself. I can’t see me every going back to a pressure cooker and do not want to be without one.

Review: I am an admittedly terrible cook when it comes to traditional means of using a stove and I imagine that my cooking is a slight step up from eating canned dog food, but the Instant Pot has entirely changed this.This thing is friendly for cooking dummies like myself. There are tons of delicious recipes online that are easy to follow and once everything is in the pot, you simply start a timer and that's it. Once the timer is done, open the valve to release the steam and once the steam has released, dinner is served. There is literally nothing to screw up during the cooking process; it's simple and ingenious.The Instant Pot works by using pressure from steam to significantly shorten cooking times meaning more time for you to do other fun things like hanging out with your significant other, or watching TV, or both! We've made 'fall off the bone' ribs in about 45 mins (including creating the sauté and taking into account warming up and steam release) that were comparable in taste to ribs that had been slow cooked for 4 hrs. We've also used it to make homemade soups as it takes much less time for the flavour in the ingredients in the soup to trickle into the soup vs traditional boiling over a stove. Chicken in ten minutes? You bet. Perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs in under 5 minutes and delicious cheesecake in under an hour (including steam release) were all no problem for even a simpleton like myself to make, and best of all, everything actually tastes great too!! I've included pictures of a few of the things we've made using the Instant Pot. Yes, all of the food pictures in this review were made using the Instant Pot!When it comes to cooking, there aren't too many things out there that are game changers, but an air fryer, a sous vide and an Instant Pot are, and if you happen to have all three, congratulations for having the trifecta of cooking greatness in your kitchen!PROS* So easy to use that even guys that literally can't cook (me) can look like a rock star. Once everything is in the pot, you set the timer and go. Once it's done, open the valve to release the steam and dinner is served. There literally is nothing to screw up and best of all, the food is delicious!* The Instant Pot significantly shortens cooking time of most things, freeing up your valuable time to do other fun things! :P* There are literally tons and tons of delicious recipes online. Guaranteed you will discover there are things that you can make in the Instant Pot that you never knew could be made in an Instant Pot.* Goodbye slow cooker. That was so the 70's.* Easy to clean. The pot is stainless steel and the lid can be removed and fully submerged. The seal on the lid comes off and replacement seals for the lid can be purchased when it eventually wears out.CONS* Too many models just make for mass confusion. Have a look at my TIPS section for some help.* Expensive, so wait for a sale if you can as they do on sale, especially for big events like Boxing Day, Black Friday, etc.TIPS* Don't get too caught up with the "x-in-1" features. They just add a button for preset cooking time for a particular type of food to the Instant Pot and up the "in-1" number. You can just manually input the cooking time yourself.* The most important thing is determining the size of the Instant Pot that you need. For our family of 4, we went for the 8 quart esp. since the wife likes to make home made soups.* The Lux model does not have low pressure cooking while Duo models have both high and low pressure. Low pressure cooking is typically used to make delicate foods like yogurt, eggs and veggies. If you don't think you'll make yogurt, eggs or veggies in the Instant Pot, just get the Lux model which skips the low pressure. Pro tip: Cooking rice uses high pressure.* Take the Instant Pot outdoors to release the steam when doing a quick release or it will quickly smell up the house of whatever you're making. Use a glove or mitt to be safe.* When making a lot of food, esp. soups, mind the max line. If you want less chance to have a mess on the bottom of the lid, go an inch under the max line.* Be careful when releasing the steam. I've included a video of what a fast release of the steam looks like. You don't want your bare hand anywhere close to that hot steam. Read the instruction manual!!! Seriously, read it.

Review: I discovered that I have a histamine intolerance, and I can only eat cooked meat from frozen. This instapot is serving me well! It's large enough to put a whole frozen chicken in it. I just needed to be careful to make sure that it was thoroughly cooked through and through. I've been using it almost every day. (it's very easy to clean. The silicon gasket inside the lid is easy to remove and clean too. It has other modes other than pressure cook, which I haven't tried yet. It has a very robust locking mechanism that won't let you open the lid when the content is still under pressure. It has a pressure release valve to allow you to quickly depressurise your cooked meal, but I prefer letting it cool down on its own. It makes some music when you open/close the lid, which is cute.My only issue is with the lid condensation catcher. Water ends up pooling around the lid locker and drips through the button and end up on our counter instead of into the catcher. But it's not a big deal. We just need to shake the lid once or twice over the cooked meal before moving the lid away.
