[quote=Anonymous]I am in love with this gadget, which I just received from Amazon on Saturday:  http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-IP-DUO60-Programmable-Generation/dp/B00FLYWNYQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1410968012&sr=1-1&keywords=instant+pot

It has both a slow-cooker and a pressure cooker function, and also can be used to make yogurt and cook rice.  I've used a stove top pressure cooker for years, and really like it for cranking out a quick stew or cooking beans, but you have to be around to monitor it.  This one is electric and has a timer and a keep warm mode, so you can do other things while it's cooking.

So far I've only tried the slow-cook and pressure cooking functions, but both worked very well.  I used it to make chili last night--started cutting up beef, onions, and garlic at around 6:45 last night and had dinner on the table by 7:30 after a 20 minute pressure cooking session (it takes about 5 minutes to get up to pressure, and I waited about 5 minutes after the cook time was done before doing a manual steam release).  The meat (chuck) was really tender, and the chili got very good reviews from my somewhat picky family.[/quote]
