    I received my Instant Pot right before the end of the year as I had pre-ordered it. I had done a good amount of research on the previous model and was convinced it could replace my small slow cooker as well as diversify my cooking and reduce my time in the kitchen. The main improvements I liked on this model over the previous model was the holder for the lid on both sides of the handles of the pot, the larger display, and the main improvement I was interested in was the dual pressure setting (mainly comes in handy for veggies for me).At first use it took a little getting used to this new appliance. Some of the features which take some getting used to for me were the pressure release valve, and how to use the electronic controls. When cooking in a pressure cooker using traditional methods it is necessary to set the pressure release valve to closed, this allows pressure to build up in the pot during cooking. During the first few times I had forgotten to twist the pressure release valve to closed. Not doing this will eventually cause a light whistling sound and steam to come out of the release. Twist it back and all is well. I mention this because I read a review giving this pot a 1 star rating, and I could tell they hadn’t closed their pressure valve based on the results they said they achieved.Once you have used it a few times you will remember to shut the valve, as I have. Once the valve is closed then the second part I found took some getting used to was the controls, but now I realize they couldn’t be easier. This is truly set it and forget style here people. Once you close the valve on the lid and lock the lid in place (you will hear an electronic “chime” letting you know the lid is closed) then it’s as easy as hitting the button labeled “manual” and choosing an amount of time with the selector. This will allow you to follow recipes for times if you’d like. You can also hit the “pressure” button to adjust between high and low pressure. There are also a whole bunch of pre programmed recipes, a slow cooker option and a convenient “sauté” function which I have used a number of times. 10 seconds after choosing your options the cooker will beep 3 times and the pot will start to heat up. (make sure again you have the pressure release valve closed here)It takes varying amounts of time for the pot to heat up but usually it’s between 5 and 10 minutes for the pot to create enough pressure to where it pushes up a metal lock on the back of the unit, this prevents you from opening the pot until the pot is at a safe pressure. Once the lock sets it’s only a few minutes till the timer will count down on the pot letting you know how much time is left. So keep in mind it takes 20 minutes or so from start to finish to cook 10 minutes cook time on the pressure cooker. Sometimes it seems like nothing is happening, but if you listen carefully you will hear boiling in the pot whenever it is in cycle. Once the time is up the pot will stay locked until you release the pressure by twisting the pressure release valve, or by waiting for 10 minutes to an hour for the pressure to release naturally. This will drop the metal lock in the back so you can open up the pot. One feature i love is the keep warm function. After any cooking is completed the system automatically goes to “keep warm.” One night i forgot my chili in the pot after cooking it, but woke up late at night on the couch to realize it was kept warm all night! Pressing the off button will toggle the keep warm function on and off.The stainless steel cooking pot is very easy to clean, however 6 of 10 on the unit for ease of clean. I love the stainless steel insert especially, it is very thick and of high quality. I just ordered a second one so i can more easily cook and store a variety of different things without having to constantly be cleaning and moving containers and food.It does take a bit of getting used to this seemingly complex cooker, but after a little reading of the manual (which is great by the way) and some experience you will be able to cook just about anything in the instant pot. I just started cooking in the last year and I’m cooking up some amazing soups, chilies, meats, rices, pastas, and vegetables all in my first couple weeks, and i’m a beginner!After looking into the pressure settings (it runs at around 11.x PSI on high) I am able to better plan my cook times. Note: Many recipes I found for pressure cooking on high are for 15 PSI so I have had to add a few minutes to most recipes. I also live in Denver, CO so I have to add some cook time due to the higher altitude as well. I found some good info using google on how to adjust pressure cooking for altitude.I would highly recommend picking up a food slicer with the instant pot as well. I am dicing onions, celery, carrots, pineapple, potatoes, and more in seconds instead of minutes, then with the help of the instant pot I’ve got that stuff cooked quick and served hot. The slicer in combination with the instant pot cuts my cook and prep time by a third to a half I would estimate, in some cases more. I got a top rated Borner slicer off Amazon for about $30, and it’s worth every penny.Most importantly the food tastes amazing, meats are tender, rice is well cooked, veggies are incredible. I would recommend this Pressure cooker to anyone in the market for a replacement slow cooker, someone looking to cook more quickly, anyone looking to eat healthier, and for any person without access to a stove.I plan on purchasing more as gifts for family in the future. For those of you ordering an Instant Pot: Your only regret will be that you didn’t get one sooner!

    Some of the positive reviews here have expressed many wonderful aspects about the Instant pot which I don’t feel the need to repeat. I agree with all of them!I’ve been a stove top pressure cooker person for over 20 years and wasn’t really very knowledgable about electric pressure cookers. Lately I’ve been searching online for pressure cooker recipes and I started noticing how many people love their electric pressure cookers. I was drawn to the convenience of “set it and forget it” as well as the many other functions electric pressure cookers offer.Addressing Cook’s Illustrated advice on pressure cookers:In spite of what Cook’s Illustrated said about electric pressure cookers, to me electric pots like this that perform several functions should not quite be placed in the same category as stove top pressure cookers. In my opinion they should not be tested together unless one is a designated Electric Pressure Cooker with no other features on it. It’s almost trying to compare apples to oranges, so to speak. (BTW I am a Cook’s Illustrated addict!- I learned to cook from them…)Although I have not had the Instant Pot long I can tell it will be a very useful time saving addition to my kitchen right along side my regular pressure cooker. I have two stove top pressure cookers, and have tried to use both to cook two different things at the same time but found it too cumbersome and attention draining to use both at once. Not a problem with the Instant pot! It’s easy to fire both of them up simutaneously because Instant Pot takes over and requires very little monitoring. Example: We love greens and now I can plop them in the Instant Pot while I have something going in the Kuhn Rikon. Perfect! Talk about a fast dinner! Easy cleanup too.Note: Pressure cooking retains up to 90% of nutritional value of food over stove top methods,…as well as easier cleanup.

The flavor of the broth was awesome though but I cooked the meat a tad too long so that it released too much flavor into the broth. The brown rice was perfect.I have to say that I was impressed at how quickly the pot came to pressure, especially with hot liquid.I did not heat the liquid for the rice but the braising liquid for the lamb I let heat up on “saute high” before I added the lamb and put the lid on. It came up to pressure quickly.NOTE/TIP: I pre-heated lamb braise liquid mix to simmer because there were diced tomatoes in the braising liquid and I wanted to give a quick stir before placing lid on so they wouldn’t sit in one place for long against the super heated bottom and possibly burn before coming to pressure. It is a good trick for me if I have questions with mixes of tomato sauce or sweet items in pot. Simmer/boil it first and stir right before putting lid on to bring it to pressure.So far I am loving the InstantPot. It’s extremely user friendly and appears to be very good quality. It performs as described. I look forward to trying new recipes plus using it along side my stove top cooker.I’m finding that everything that comes out of a pressure cooker simply tastes better, even simple potatoes and carrots! It’s a learning curb with the timings, but once you “get it” I think most anyone would agree that food tastes better when cooked in a pressure cooker.Time will see how well the Instant Pot holds up!PS: A bag of Trader Joe’s Kale, (triple washed)steamer fan, two cups of water, 5 minutes on LOW pressure, quick release= perfection! No salt needed nor butter or anything else! The natural salt comes out in the Kale! Swoon worthy! I heated the water first on Saute’ High to a boil before adding the kale and put the top on.Update November 4 2015:I now have 2 Instant Pots, one which is the Smart Pot Blue Tooth model. I use both of them all the time. I’ve also purchased 3 Duo’s for gifts. Everyone loves their Instant Pot!

    We’ve been using the insta pot/pressure cookers for many years. When our first one finally succumbed to one too many drops/knocks we picked up this one as a replacement. The quality of life upgrades that have been implemented over time are really nice. Like the vent switch rather than needing to turn a knob. It is my favorite easy meal prep, replacing the crockpot for any laid back meals.

    We’ve been using the insta pot/pressure cookers for many years. When our first one finally succumbed to one too many drops/knocks we picked up this one as a replacement. The quality of life upgrades that have been implemented over time are really nice. Like the vent switch rather than needing to turn a knob. It is my favorite easy meal prep, replacing the crockpot for any laid back meals.
