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.

From a die-hard standard pressure cooker user, this is a fantastic kitchen device and you want one!
Dear Mr. Instant Pot Inventor, THANK YOU! This is coming from a die-hard standard pressure cooker fan. I've been eyeing the Instant Pot for a year now. Chatting with my friends that purchase them to see how they like them and what they don't like about them but none of my friends use regular pressure cookers so it wasn't a true comparison for me. Well I went ahead and ordered the 8 quart on Black Friday and let me tell all who read this review I LOVE IT! My husband loves it. We've used it daily for the past week.I was originally wanting the 6 quart but by Black Friday the 6 quart on Amazon was sold out and the 8 quart was on sale so that's the one I purchased. In addition my friend had already been telling me to purchase the 8 quart and that I wouldn't be disappointed with it. When it arrived and I pulled it out of its box I thought it was massive and would be too big. To my delight this isn't the case and in fact is the perfect size for my husband and I. It's allowed me to do the pot in pot method easily as well as make a large batch of soup.My favorite aspect is the set it and forget it for the pressure cooker. I've not had the opportunity to use it as a rice steamer or crock pot yet. I know most people are afraid to use a regular pressure cooker because of the fear of it exploding and you have to be near it and watch it while it's in use to ensure it's kept at the correct pressure. With the Instant Pot you literally turn it on, set the settings, and walk away. You come back and it's done. Wahlaa!!!! Unlike a regular pressure cooker the steam doesn't vent and spit through the weight while it's cooking so there's no mess on your counter to tend to.I've also found that the recipes I'm using today can be used in the Instant Pot without any or limited modifications. The only modifications I've found I've needed to make have been on cooking time and it's to actually lower it. I'm assuming it's because the cooker keeps all of the moisture trapped inside it's cooking more efficiently (remember comment above about it not letting steam sputter out the weight). I've made burgundy beef tips with frozen beef and 2 medium sized sweet potatoes at the same time but using the provided steaming rack upside down so the potatoes sat above the meat. I cooked it for 18 mins and let it depressurize naturally. The meat was perfect but the potatoes were a tad over done so next time I'll drop the time from 18 to 15 mins. The interesting thing was the sweet potato skins, they were tender and could be eaten as well. They were as tender as one on a red skinned potato. My other favorite usage is to make my steel cut oatmeal in it. I've been doing this in a pressure cooker for years now using the pot in pot method. I've changed nothing on this recipe and it's coming out perfect in the Instant Pot. We make 5 servings at a time and it takes 5 mins to cook and then I let it depressurize naturally. We've also made a batch of ham, greens, and lentil soup from scratch and it was very easy to do. Again, you literally just set it and forget it and come back to some delicious food.So now I have 2 pressure cookers, 1 crock pot, and 1 rice steamer that's all been replaced by this one device. Will I get rid of my pressure cookers, crock pot, and rice steamer? No I don't think so. They'll be used as backups...unless I become like so many others and buy more Instant Pots! My friends before me all have multiple sized devices now so I guess it's inevitable that I will as well one day. I hear they're like cats, you can't have just one. So again, thank you and I hope you get to read this one personally someday. Till then I hope my review helps others who are contemplating on purchasing the device. The answer is yes...yes you want one but you just don't know it yet.

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.
