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.

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

Sorry, I have never tried non dairy!

Yes, I use it to make homemade broth, cook beans, cook rice.

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.

I never use it.

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!

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

Yes I definitely use it a couple of times a week. Salt potatoes, brown or white rice, chili, hard boiled eggs, a couple of one pot meals

I use it for hardboiled eggs, steamed egg custard, ribs, pot roast, beans, yogurt, soups, lots of things.

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.

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 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?

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.
