I'm self-taught and used to be a private chef in Beverly Hills. When I was growing up, my Mom used to have one of those old-school pressure cookers with the weight on top that spit and shook and released steam as it cooked. When I was on my own, I bought one and used it pretty regularly, but it was still the old-school kind, but the pressure valve was built in. It was a pain to clean, though. And then I found this one. It's electric, which means that I can put it on my center island and not have to use the stove. I love all the features and programmability, but I really just use it for my Italian sauces, making my patented "fall-off-the-bone" ribs and the meatiest, most tender beef stroganoff ever.
It is flawless. It's so easy to set and use that anyone can do it. And the best part is that you can set the timer and it won't start counting down until it is already under pressure. The cooking vessel comes out for cleaning and although I usually clean it by hand, I have used the dishwasher from time to time--it's fully dishwasher safe. The rubber gasket fits firmly and is not difficult to remove for cleaning and reinstalls easily after cleaning.
While I usually use it as a pressure cooker, I have just started using it as a crock pot and am loving how easily it can do that too! I purchased the larger unit so I can fit more ribs in it! It's a bit big, but well-worth the cabinet space for all it can do. Highly recommend it for virtually anyone that cooks!

Moving up from a regular pressure cooker to the Instant Pot is a blessing for me!
First off - I'm an experienced pressure cooker user and this:https://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Under-Pressure-20th-Anniversary/dp/0061707872/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524554310&sr=8-1&keywords=cooking+under+pressure+by+lorna+sass is my favorite pressure cooking guide.That said, I've been researching the Instant Pot for some time as I considered changing from a regular stove top pressure cooker to the Instant Pot. My primary motivation has been the concerns that come with using a pressure cooker. I've blown one up on the stove while cooking lemon chicken. (horrible clean-up!) and I've have problems with getting the lid to seal properly which means I end up having to start the cooking process over. Also, I feel like I'm chained to the stove when I'm using my regular pressure cooker and can't do anything else besides monitor it.The safety features of the Instant Pot eliminate all of those concerns. I chose the 8 QT model even though I only cook for two people since I like to make several meals at a time. I regularly cook beef, caribou, and chicken including meatloaf and chili several times a month in my pressure cooker. It's my favorite way to cook meat of any kind since I can take it out of the freezer, put it in the pot and serve a wonderful meal in a couple of hours (from prepping to finish). The Instant Pot is well suited to take on my regular cooking.For my first attempt, I made Ginger-spiced chicken and vegetables in 20 minutes using the pressure cooker function and tips I learned in Lorna Sass's cookbook. The meat was tender and the vegetables can easily be mashed or eaten with the ginger/raisin sauce. The Instant Pot was easy to set up and even easier to use. The clean-up was also easy and I hope for a long and happy relationship with my new primary method of cooking - the Instant Pot!Update: Today I made my usual "Pressure-cooked" meat loaf meal in the Instant Pot. It's a family favorite and regular menu item as the leftovers make wonderful "meat loaf burgers". I'm happy to say it was a raging success with 20 minutes of cooking time. If you haven't tried cooking meatloaf in a pressure cooker, you're missing out on an easy and tasty meal! The original recipe is from the cookbook linked above, but this is my Sicilian version with spinach and tomatoes. Loving my Instant Pot!

I wish I could give this a ten star review but amazon only allows up to 4 stats. I did just get it but over all the kitchen Appliances this one takes the cake. I can cook a whole chicken covered in herbs and veggies in a broth in 25 minutes flat and it falls off the bone by that time. Amaxing pressure cooker, tons of amazon books and recipes as well as apps on the AppStore. It’s not difficult to understand all versions. Definitely get this model if possible as it has egg anndddd cake also buy a spring release pan pan for cakes etc regular 7” spring release exists so does dadio brand which is slightly deeper I think but I don’t even cook lasagna in the extra pan I just put 1.5 cups of water down literally the sides it works like heaven best lasagna ever made! . The only difference besides 40$ more for the duo 8qt is duo has a yogurt button but you can still do that and then some in the lux8Qt on Manuel mode so it just makes sense. Using it daily . Invest in extra rings as after time those I hear can get stinky . Those are cheap and if you want you can get egg stacker to stack more eggs than it comes with and a steamer as it dies that too: this is beyond overly excited as I neverrr put teviews but taking the time it is just that amazing!
Definitely best kitchen appliance so why wait to buy?

It's Official! I LOVE my InstantPot Lux 80!

First of all, I don't normally review products unless someone asks for my opinion. But I just have to say something about my new favourite small kitchen appliance - my new InstantPot. I'm totally wowed by it. 🤩Amazon CustomerIt's Official! I LOVE my InstantPot Lux 80!

You have to know me well to know that I normally don't buy products when they first come out. Basically, I won't pay the high price for something new and normally wait until the price drops as new models go on the market (my kids did not inherit this gene! LOL) Then I research the heck out of what I am thinking of buying to make sure I get the best version of the product for us.
So, after many hours of intensive review reading and searches for recipes and options to make sure it would suit our laid back lifestyle, I finally caved and bought an InstantPot. BEST. INVESTMENT. EVER.
It's so easy to use! If you're not familiar, it is an electric pressure cooker - much safer than the older 'on top of the stove' version (I'm not a bit nervous around it). Surprisingly, I am actually having fun with it, even though I thought it would be a chore to learn new tricks at my age! LOL
Last night we were destined to have a late supper (after 7 before I realized I had no leftovers to warm up! lol) Normally, on nights like that, we would just open a can of something or get take out. Not last night. 😲 Willie was out in the garage working on the car and would not be in for awhile (making supper even later), so I thought I'd play with the new cooker since I had the time to kill. I took a whole frozen chicken out of the freezer, put it in the InstantPot with a cup of water as directed, and sprinkled it with my regular go to spice - Montreal Chicken. I set it to cook for 60 minutes, tossed a couple of potatoes into the oven to bake, and just walked away. In approximately 1-1/2 hours, we sat down to a meal of wonderfully moist chicken (which was literally falling off the bone), baked potatoes, gravy (made right in the same pot) and veggies 😋- and remember - that chicken was frozen as hard as a rock when I put it in the pot! I'm still amazed. And clean-up is so simple because I can toss the liner pot right into the dishwasher (it's stainless steel). Best part??? I don't have to figure out what to cook tonight because we have leftovers! 😁
Like everyone, we have a lot of favourite go-to meals and I was really concerned that I wouldn't get much use out of the Instantpot because we'd still want to have those favourites. I'm happy to report that, so far at least, it has been easy to convert the ones I've tried and with very little tweaking. Mind you, I won't be able to cook everything in this pot, but variety is still the spice of life, right? 🤪 Another bonus? It will be a wonderful asset for cooking on hot summer nights and my kitchen will stay cook because, unlike the oven, there is no heat that escapes. 😈
There are a number of different versions of the InstantPot, but this (LUX model) is the one that I ordered through Amazon online (the price was right that day and I see it is on sale again). You can also buy them in town at the big box stores. Some make yogurt (DUO model), but I prefer to just buy that off the shelf, so it wasn't important to me. Other than that, they are all basically the same when it comes to cooking a meal, at least. Apparently I will also be able to cook desserts in this magnificent creature, but one hurdle at a time. 😏
