Title: This is like having a personal chef!!!
Review: I've been cooking dinner for more than 50 years. I'm at the age where I don't like to try new recipes because it's too much mental strain on me to find a recipe, read through it, then follow it step by step. I never thought I'd say this, but it's too much work mentally, and it's too much physical strain to stand at a stove, so I stick to simple cooking at my age.Then I needed a new pressure cooker, came to Amazon to find one and came across this gem. It looked easy enough for me to understand, it was digital, and the reviews were great, so I took a chance and paid twice the amount I would have paid for a regular stove top pressure cooker pan that only is used to pressure cook.I'm glad I took the chance!!!This Chef iQ is like having your own personal chef standing next to you telling you step by step how to make amazing meals!It has made cooking fun and easy again!The app has many different recipes, including beef and barley soup which I have been wanting to make for years but have no desire to stand at a stove cooking...now I can have my Chef iQ tell me step by step what to add, and the best part is thr scale. It weighs the amount of water you put in, it weighs the meat (no more digging through the garbage to see if it was 2 pounds roast or a 3 pound roast) it weighs it for you!A dinner that would have taken me hours, and dirtied many dishes and pans, is now made in one pot and it does everything for you!It took 30 minutes to pressure cook 5 pounds of roast. When it was done I pulled it apart some of them and added some BBQ sauce and we had pulled beef sandwiches, then saved the rest for dinner, again using the insta pot to steam veggies to add to the beef to make a stew. It took less than an hour to make 2 meals!Washing the unit is simple, just make sure you remove the gasket ring and wash under it, then replace it.This unit has made 2 elderly people become instant chefs! My husband can't stand for long and for years had to give up making his famous rice and beans. I came back from walking the dog to find a plate of freshly made rice and beans waiting for me, and a husband with a smile so big because he was able to cook again! This pot gave us more than easy and amazing meals, it gave us back the pride and confidence that we can once again make difficult recipes that used to require standing at the stove all day and using and washing many pans, it's given us more time together and has truly made life easier for both of us!I highly recommend this product for everyone!It would have been amazing to have this unit when I was in college, to be able to cook full meals in one pot without knowing how to cook would have been so great as a college student living in a dorm!This makes a great wedding gift, housewarming gift, college student gift, and just a great gift for everyone you love and want to make their life easier!

Title: Just buy it
Review: Iâve had this pressure cooker for about a year and it is amazing. My favorite features are:Automatic steam release. Who hasnât been shy about releasing pressure from a cooker? The sound alone used to make me jump, even if I knew it was not going to burn me because the valve was pointed in the opposite direction. Now I just sit in the living room and listen for the appliance to release in the manner I asked it to. Ahhhhh. It does instant, intermittent and natural releases. Truly my favorite feature.Step by step instructions. Now, I donât really need these, but it is so much fun to choose a recipe and have the app tell you what to do. Need to add a cup of water? Sure, you can add a cup of water after measuring it. But itâs so cool to see the scale tell you EXACTLY when youâve added the right amount. I can imagine a person who has never cooked anything would love the step by step instructions even more than I do.Next, I love the app. âWhen will dinner be ready?â Umâ¦. (Open app) â13 minutes and 11 seconds.â Iâll bet you canât be that precise unless youâre using this awesome app! By the way, even if you arenât using the pre-programmed recipes, the app still shows you whatâs going on and allows you to make changes.I love being able to do almost everything in one pan. Want spaghetti? Brown the meat, sauté the vegetables, add the dry pasta and water, and itâs ready in literally a few minutes. One pot.There is no guesswork in timing. Tonight I selected sous vide, pork, pork chops, one in thick. It set the temp and time automatically and automatically selected sear when finished. This works for whatever feature and ingredient you are cooking.Sooooo many cook functions. Slow cooker, pressure cooker, sous vide, sauté, and the list goes on and on.The only feature that I wish was better is on the app. I wish there were two ways you could save recipes. Right now you can click the heart on a recipe to mark it as a favorite. I would like to see a way to add a folder for âwant to tryâ or something similar. I look at recipes in the app and donât know yet if they will be a favorite but definitely am interested in trying them. They all get lumped together in one folder which can be inconvenient if you use the cooker and app as much as I do. I did send a request to the company but I donât know if itâs scheduled for an update in the future or not.I hope this helps if youâre trying to justify the investment. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but if you use a tablet or smart anything I donât think youâll have a problem.Bottom line? Just buy it!

Review: En mi opinión le faltan muchas recetas mexicanas como el pozole pero aún sin la receta puedes cocinarlo sin ningún problema, gran producto y fácil de usar, pero si no eres bueno con la tecnologÃa no le vas a sacar el máximo provecho

Review: I love this cooker!!! This pressure cooker should be called the holy grail of your kitchen!! âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸Itâs a great size 6 oz. Feeds my family of threeI love the black matte colour.The Chef IQ app is amazing!! Itâs so user friendly and has so many good recipes to folllow.For someone who doesnât really enjoy cooking, I can rely on this cooker and chef iq recipes any time.The app connects to your pressure cooker using wifi and then tells you what to do with each next step with cooking!I know this appliance is expensive but I think itâs SOO worth it!I love that you donât also have to pressure cook with it. You can saute or just simply cook in the pot. We barely use our oven now as we have an air fryer too. You can cook pasta, soup, chicken, beef, desserts, almost anything. The app helps you with recipes and guides you as itâs wifi based.Itâs fairly easy to clean! The inside pot is a nonstick so everything slides off.If you arenât confident in the kitchen, this a perfect to go appliance. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

Customers say
Customers like the ease of use, functionality, and recipes of the pressure cooker. They mention it's well-executed, provides a great set of recipes, and the slow cooker function is significantly better than the Instant Pot. Customers also like the ease of cleaning, build-in scale, and design. However, some customers have reported that the product fails time after time.
