[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]beans, basically.  you can go from a bag of dried beans to perfectly cooked in under an hour, with 5 minutes of prep and otherwise totally hands off.[/b]

also handy for cooking meat from frozen if, like me, you are bad at planning ahead, but quite like meals that consist of chicken thighs + delicious sauce of your own devising (or from a bottle, no judgment here).

I've tried a few other instant pot recipes and don't really get the hype for the most part.  but I use it for those two things pretty regularly.   I cook a big pot of beans at least once/week and do some chicken + sauce at least every other week.

YES, this. No-soak dried beans is one of my favorite uses for the IP. And cooking from frozen, and occasionally the much-praised hard-boiled eggs...pretty much only for Easter. Even if you only used it as a slow cooker, the ability to sauté and brown food right in the pan is a huge, huge plus.

That said, I agree about some of the recipes you see online for the IP...whole chicken? No thanks.[/quote]
