Still getting to grips with my Instant Pot with Ultimate Lid version. Unlike some, I will use it as an accompaniment to compliment my existing kitchen cooking devices, rather than as a replacement for them. I'd always wanted a pressure cooker and slow cooker, and our deep fat fryer went on the blink. I didn't have the worktop space for a replacement as well as have the other two cookers, so it made sense to get a multi-cooker that gave me all 3 (and more) facilities. I have managed to get fairly good results for the IP version of the triple cooked chips I made on the DFF. It's great for steaming potatoes and veg. I've used it for slow cooking pot roast style pork and topside of beef. There are only the two of us, but I wouldn't want the air fryer basket to be any ... MoreStill getting to grips with my Instant Pot with Ultimate Lid version.

I think this version of IP might be a bit big for just one person, but then maybe not if they do batch cooking and soup making. The inner pot used for pressure and slow cooking is big, but I need it that size for making my huge pots of soup coming in to winter. I know I haven't used it to anywhere near its full potential yet, and probably never will. Be aware that it's VERY heavy and really quite large, but not much bigger than the DFF it replaced. It needs to be stored on the worktop, as it's too heavy to lift out the cupboard all the time. It has a hinged lid that doesn't come off. I have it sitting underneath my wall cupboards and pull it out to cook with. The tiny manual that accompanys the IP has a cheek to call itself that, everything's online. However, you have to do a lot of digging to find what you need. There are however lots of excellent websites and plenty of groups on Facebook. Instant Pot has its own UK Community Facebook group. It contains some fantastic help provided by it's members, as well as a diverse searchable recipe database. There's also an IP app, which is worth looking at. It's a good solid piece of kit and useful for everyone. I hope it will save me lots of time and be a real boon in the future.

I have a big pressure cooker that I never use - too fussy, too much work, I never know how long I should cook stuff, whether it's pressurized enough to start counting yet or not, etc. Plus it's too big for me alone. I have been hesitating on the IP for a long time. I was waiting for the Ultra 3qt to come back, but it seems like that's not going to happen. SO I finally caved to peer pressure (ah!) and got this one instead. And oh, my. YES. SO MUCH YES. I haven't done much yet, but the simple fact that I can finally steam veggies as much as I want to with zero fuss, next to zero dishes, and with barely any work, have more than sold it on me. In a week, I've eaten stuff I love but almost never cook. Steamed cauliflower and broccoli? Check. Steamed whole artichoke? ... MoreI have a big pressure cooker that I never use - too fussy, too much work, I never know how long I should cook stuff, whether it's pressurized enough to start counting yet or not, etc. Plus it's too big for me alone.

Food prep in the morning because you can delay the start or slow cook with no supervision? Check. This little baby is now my Air Fryer's best friend, and the rest of my cookware hates them. My stovetop too. I cook a whole meal and end up with one pot to clean (or two if I used the steamer basket) that doesn't need actual scrubbing, plus the air fryer's basket, and the cutting board. That's it. All that being said, I wish it had a few things it doesn't: - Ability to set the temperature lower (in yogurt mode) so I could make fromage blanc ( a cross between yogurt and fresh cultured soft cheese), - Higher sauté temp. As it is, it's barely hot enough to sear anything. Oh, and get yourself a steamer basket. It comes with a trivet that will hold big food chunks out of the water, but the keywork here is *big* chunks - and it's *below* the food, so good luck taking it all out. If you want to actually steam stuff, get a steaming basket. Also negates the need for a colander. I also got the silicon lid, so I can put the leftovers in the fridge directly without having to transfer them. You will also need some kind of mitt because the pot can get hot and doesn't have a handle.

To start, I really wish there was a way to give this product four and a half stars. That said, it's closer to five than four, so here we are. We had a trusty 5 quart Duo Instant Pot for about six years and it served us very well. It was one of the earliest iterations, so it had its limitations in terms of what it could do (no variable pressure settings, limited pot size, etc.), but we never had any complaints. Sometimes its size would prevent me from being able to cook a few things, though, so I recently decided to cash in some credit card points for an upgraded model. We jumped from 5 quarts to 8 quarts so we could meal prep and make larger batches, as well as cooking things like a whole chicken. This model has a few more bells and whistles than our last IP, though ... MoreTo start, I really wish there was a way to give this product four and a half stars.

The display is bright and clear and this pressure cooker has been the MVP of our quarantine experience. However, there is one drawback. I really don't like the pressure release mechanism on this model compared to our previous version. It isn't as reliable and you often have to make a few attempts to get it to stay open, which isn't fun considering how close you are to a blast of piping hot steam while you do it. It's not the end of the world, but I can't imagine why this mechanism was changed from the old reliable one. Oh well. Pressure cooking has become a huge part of our cooking routine in our kitchen due to how time-efficient it is. Food comes out delicious!

So let me start by saying I have had the Instant Pot Duo Nova 8-Quart 7-in-1 Multi Cooker for several years now, and it's held up over that many years of use with absolutely zero issues. I'd say I use this maybe once a week to cook either rice, baked potatoes, or something of the sort (if not a full on roast) and it is a must-have addition in any kitchen if you have the storage space to accommodate it (it is a bit bulky). It cleans very easily and most parts are dishwasher safe. Certain parts you do need to replace every so often as they degrade such as the lids seal ring. All in all though this appliance has been a lifesaver in terms of my TIME and SANITY some nights when I'm simply too tired to stand at my stove and cook an entire meal.
I am impressed with the Instant Pot Duo. I am very happy that this product was well packaged and the instructions are easy to understand and very well written. Plenty of diagrams and pictures and warnings, but the reading must be done before attempting to operate this pot, if you want to become proficient. I love this little appliance for the convenience and ease. And there are so many functions to do the work.
I bought the 8 qt Instant Pot Pressure Cooker about month ago. I planned to buy Slow Cooker, but I didn't find such a big size. Now I am so glad I bought Pressure Cooker because it has a Slow Cooker function as well. It's amazing gadget - one of the best I have ever had at my kitchen. I have 6 (sometime 7) in my family, so, I use it every two days. I already bought the second inner pot to ease my life. I have a problem with my back. But since the time I got the Instant Pot, I haven't had troubles with my back whilw cooking as I don't need to stand at my regular pots for a long time. Once you have prepared all your ingredients and put it in the pot, you can forget it while it does everything for you. My parents still can't believe how fast I am cooking now.

Once you have prepared all your ingredients and put it in the pot, you can forget it while it does everything for you. My parents still can't believe how fast I am cooking now. I have tried almost all functions (except for Yogurt, Eggs and Cake). Clean up is easy. I like it is stainless steel and not non-stick surface. I would recommend having 2 inner pots (for soup and main dish) to save more time yet. Also, I bought a steam basket. In my opinion it worth every penny you invested in.
I really disliked my first Instant Pot , it was so poorly designed.But I loved the high quality inner steel pot (and that was all)So when it came time to get another pressure cooker, (the original one died after reasonable daily service) I was going to go with another brand. But they didn't have the great uncoated pot that Instant Pot has.Anyway I bought the newer 6 quart and its top has a much safer design and it is just easier to use.Then I bought the 3 quart on Prime day because I love pressure cooking my healthy vegan diet. I have them both plugged in , ready to go, depending on the serving amount needed.I really like the improvement on the new lids and some other features.I either eat raw or pressure cooked / steamed.I throw in some sweet potatoes before I go ... MoreI really disliked my first Instant Pot , it was so poorly designed.But I loved the high quality inner steel pot (and that was all)So when it came time to get another pressure cooker, (the original one died after reasonable daily service) I was going to go with another brand.

I highly recommend it for all my brothers and sisters in the vegan running fitness world. I don't use my stove or oven at all any more.Could I make it significantly better? Sure. But I will give it 5 stars because I love it now with the improved lid. It makes a difference.
If your looking for a fantastic way to prepare healthy meals quickly, look no further. My family uses our IP at least 3-4 times per week. The Duo Nova has an amazing release valve on it compared to the IP Duo. To release the pressure after the cooking is done, all you have to do is push a button down and it automatically releases it. (I recommend putting a tea towel over the lid so you don't have steam gushing towards your cupboards). The 8 quart size is amazing for a family. The LCD display screen is a little hard to read on some angles but has a nice display of what's going on with your IP. Overall a great product that I couldn't live without, no I'm serious, once you learn how to use an IP you won't know how to meal plan without it. Everything from making broth, ... MoreIf your looking for a fantastic way to prepare healthy meals quickly, look no further. My family uses our IP at least 3-4 times per week.

Everything from making broth, to soups, to perfect rice, to baked potatoes, to hard boiled eggs, to any kind of meat cooked perfectly. If your considering taking the plunge because everyone is talking about it, stop reading this review and buy it now! This is our second IP as we have often have a need for two at the same time. Total game changer. Especially for a husband who does most of the cooking in our household.
I live in a very small space (aboard a 30' sailboat) but love to cook and the Instant Pot has been a huge boon to me. I know a lot of people are intimidated by pressure cookersâ€"I was at firstâ€"but here's the thing: once you get over the initial fear and become more comfortable with it, you'll begin to use it more and the more you use it, the more uses you'll find for it. There is hardly anything it won't do. It excels at things like dried beans (no presoak necessary), rice etc. but it can do a whole lot more. Cook sweet potatoes from a cold start in less than ten minutes, a “baked†(steamed, really, but it passes) russet potato in about 25 minutes. Pasta sauces, no problem. You can even sweat the onions and garlic using the saute' function. I like steel cut ... MoreI live in a very small space (aboard a 30' sailboat) but love to cook and the Instant Pot has been a huge boon to me.

You can even sweat the onions and garlic using the saute' function. I like steel cut oats for breakfast and because it's fully automatic I just dump in the oats and water, dial in the settings then leave to take a shower. When I come back, I have perfectly cooked oatmeal waiting for me, kept warm. About the only negative thing I have to say about it is that you really need to take off the silicone sealing ring to clean the lid completely and doing that shortens the life of the seal; however, replacement seals are easy to find and not too expensive if you buy them in the two-pack. Overall, this is a great little machine for one or two people and well worth purchasing.
I just bought this yesterday and have been trying the basics.1. Sautes - yes, did some onions. With the stainless steel you need a lot of fat so I ended up spending an extra $16 to get the ceramic non-stick pan today. Will see how that helps. Anything starchy like potatoes will absolutely stick unless you drown it in fat/oil... and it created a nice fond (aka will eventually burn) so I had to deglaze quickly which ruined the crust I had developed on my cubed potatoes. Ended up putting everything into a skillet on stove to salvage my breakfast and get it crispy without having to add a ton of oil or butter.2. Scramble eggs in saute mode - yes, same problem with too much fat needed though. Also, used saute on low. Normal and high was too hot and eggs overcooked fast ... MoreI just bought this yesterday and have been trying the basics.1. Sautes - yes, did some onions.

Ended up putting everything into a skillet on stove to salvage my breakfast and get it crispy without having to add a ton of oil or butter.2. Scramble eggs in saute mode - yes, same problem with too much fat needed though. Also, used saute on low. Normal and high was too hot and eggs overcooked fast and got hard.3. Boiling water - I wanted to see if this could replace my electric kettle for French Press. Yes, it can. Take about 6 minutes to bring 1 liter of room temp water to boil though. I had a race between IP and electric kettle. Kettle won in 3 minutes, but I didn't have a lid on IP either. But it worked fine if you have an extra 3 minutes haha. When I used my kettle to hard boil eggs, it was about the same speed as the IP overall from start to finish.4. 1/2 cup rice = 2-3 servings of cooked (about 300 grams cooked weight) - yes, no problem using the rice setting. I don't need to make 10 servings of rice at one time. And yes, I normally make 1/2 to 1 cups uncooked (at the most) on the stovetop in a 1.5 qt pan. I can make and freeze but sometimes I don't have access to a freezer when traveling so I wanted to simulate "a la minute" cooking5. Oatmeal - 1 serving, saute mode, boil water, add oats, stir, add fruit and PB, works fine. Basically, you can make anything that requires boiling of liquid using saute mode.6. Garbanzo - no soak, for hummus and salad and will make falafels. Followed the IP instructions, came out perfectly. 35 minutes and done. Wow.7. Will it toast bread? - yes, saute mode again (basically it's a hot plate). Will only fit one slice but that's okay for just me. Took a while, and had to move it around to get somewhat even browning, but it's doable.Update: homemade pita dough (AP, yeast, sugar, water, salt, oil), did the normal proof etc, then rolled out 5 inches or so (actually just used my hands, no rolling pin required), lightly oil the base of IP pot (used both olive oil and then tried it with clarified butter), saute on HIGH, and fried the bread to go with my hummus. Took about 8 minutes (4 per side) to get it done. Obviously super slow, but still do-able. Got some puffy spots so steam is happening inside the bread. Will try smaller dough balls next time and rolling them much thinner to see if I can get more steam action inside going.8. Hard cooked egg - yes, found a video that suggested 2 minute of pressure with 10 minutes of NPR. Most videos (to include IP) says 5 minutes of cook time (5 cook, 5 NPR, 5 ice bath = 5-5-5) but that really overcooked the egg (made it too firm and kind of rubbery). I strongly suggest less pressure cook and just let it NPR cook. Similar to stove top method of shutting off heat once the water is boiling and just cover pot and let the eggs sit in heat bath for 12 minutes for Hard.So basically (obviously), this appliance with the stainless steel pot insert on saute mode has the same uses and issues as having a stainless steel skillet. I prefer cooking with non-stick pans to avoid using all that extra fat. So it makes sense to me to buy the non-stick pot since I am using this appliance as my all-in-one-single-life-one-pot-for everything cooking appliance. I don't want one device for boiling and one for frying/saute. And I find the stainless steel to be slightly problematic (not impossible) but I figure I now have a 2nd pot, and also an extra mixing bowl/storage/prep bowl.
