Do you still love your Instapot?

For me, it’s sort of like my mandolin. Really useful for a small number of things.

If we had limited kitchen space, I’d skip it. But since I can store it easily, worth keeping for beans and hard boiled eggs.

I love my Instant Pot but I bought it many years ago and haven’t had to replace it. Maybe they became a victim of their own reliability?

Yes! Use it all the time for soup stocks and beans.

It's great for kid cooking because of the burn sensor and avoid them turning on the gas. They use it to heat up soups, stews, and other leftovers. Even without pressure they can cook simple dinners in it, just like they would on the stove, like canned bean chili (cans of beans, can of tomatoes, can of corn, onions, spices, etc.).

I use it at least twice a week. Rice, soup, eggs….also great on thanksgiving so you don’t take up stovetop space. Great for keeping mulled cider warm for parties.

I use most often as a rice cooker snd to make butter chicken (look up famous butter chicken instapot recipe from two sleevers). I need a yogurt recipe/instructions. We also use for ground turkey for tacos and occassionally mashed potatoes.

I use mine every day. Oatmeal, eggs, grains, soups, curries, beans, etc. I’m always converting recipes to use the instant pot.

It's really great for the things it's really great for:
Rice
Wild Rice
Yogurt
Bean Soup
Turkey breast
Pulled Pork
Hard Boiled Eggs
Salt Potatoes
Several Kinds of Asian Soups

It's not useful for a lot of the crazy things that people try to use it for. Baking quick breads and brownies - yuck!

Easiest way to make yogurt is to use Fairlife milk. It's ultra Pasteurized so you don't have to boil it.

Dump container of milk. You can do skim, 2% or whole. Whisk in 2 heaping tablespoons of plain yogurt as a starter. Hit the yogurt button and let it go overnight 8-10 hours. Strain in a fine mesh strainer. It's so easy.

I never use it.

I rarely use it, only for hard boiled eggs and sometimes soups.

I just don't like the texture of most things that come out of it, I prefer the stovetop.

Awesome! Thanks. Any suggestions for non-dairy yogurt (cashew)?
