Update: Anyone use an Instant Pot See Warning Post #78

[My3kiddos]

I got one for Christmas and love it. I've mainly used the pressure cooker mode though. It's great for dried beans. My sister-in-law uses hers everyday. She says she just throws frozen stuff in hers and it cooks perfectly.

I bought one through my Amazon Echo, and got it for 59.99 with the extra 10.00 off. I'll give my regular pressure cooker to my sister. Looking forward to the yogurt function.

Its a pressure cooker that can also be used as a slower cooker. Take a look this web page has the different cooking times for different types of beans

I just bought the pot last week when it was on Prime Day. I finally got it out of the box today to try and figure it out. I just did the "test" where you put water in and set it on steam with a 2 minute timer. It took 20 minutes for the timer to start. Is that normal? It doesn't seem very fast to me. Then you have to wait for the pressure to release. That 2 minute "cook" time took over half an hour and that was using the quick release. Did I do something wrong or is that typical times?

I have a question please. I'm watching tons of videos and everyone adds water or broth when they cook their ribs. To the posters who stated they put them in only with the dry rub, what steams them if you don't add any liquid. Thank you!

We make ours using this recipe which can uses apple juice and apple cider vinegar. We don't use as much apple juice though since that much really isn't needed.

We use our Instant Pot almost every night in the winter and a few nights a week in the summer (we grill a lot in the summer) But, it's totally changed the way we eat and the foods we enjoy. Our favorite things are steel oats, ribs, roast, beef & broccoli, beef stroganoff and chicken and dumplings. I also use it to make rice once in awhile as well.

The booklet says it should take 15 minutes to complete the test. Did you try it again to see what happens?

 

[SunnieRN]

Thank you Nene! I'm having a lot of fun cooking with the pot! We need to have a leftover night lol.

I have watched the video a few times and wondered about so much h juice also. The video is what caused me to ask that question, soon thank you!!!
