kitten18 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Awesome!!! I have been waiting for it to go on sale again. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xixstar Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Wish this wasn't so tempting. It's not an amazing price, but it is something I know I'll eventually get and the discount is nice. I have seen it at this price before just once and when shipping was going to be quite delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 So is this something that would be good for doing a ton of freezer cooking over a weekend? I've never used a pressure cooker before, but dh and I love to cook all weekend and freeze as much as we can. Usually we have a few things going in the slow-cookers and on the stove-top, but I would love if the cooking were faster for some items, like some of the stews or pot roasts we make.

I have seen it at this price before just once and when shipping was going to be quite delayed.I think it was that price a couple months ago and I didn't buy it then. I've been kicking myself and watching it since then. I remember too that shipping was delayed at that time. I need to look up some recipes for when it gets here, but I think I'm having DH give it to me for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I didn't know I needed it, but now that I've looked at it, I'm sure I need it. At least it is a good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 For a moment, I thought amazon is selling pot... they might ship to WA and CO... I puzzled over what "instant" could possibly mean since I am clueless when it comes to such things... Anything is possible on Cyber Monday, right?

samba Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I got an instant pot last Christmas and it has been an amazing kitchen tool. I use it almost daily and sometimes more than once a day. I love everything about it but I use it most often for cooking beans and soups. I can go from dry, unsoaked beans to tender cooked beans in 20-30 minutes. If you're on the fence about getting one, just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenvneck Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have one and use it daily. My latest discovery is that you can make boiled eggs in it and the shells just slip right off, even on fresh eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Never heard of this but have been considering a pressure cooker to make stock. This sounds amazing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 You guys had me thinking this was some new cooking technology that I'd missed. It's just an electric pressure cooker. Right? Not that a pressure cooker isn't a beautiful, magical thing. Or is this a bit different? I'd hate to miss out on the culinary equivalent of a flying car just because I don't understand what I'm looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have one and use it daily. My latest discovery is that you can make boiled eggs in it and the shells just slip right off, even on fresh eggs! I read a chapter in a Julia Childs cookbook where she compared different methods of boiling eggs. Pressure cooker was the best. Steaming was second. Rolling boil was the worst. In both pressure cooker and steaming, steam was forced under the shell so peeling was easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the pressure cooking, you can sauté in it so you can brown meat before pressure cooking and it can be used as a slow cooker. I am most interested in using it to cook meat.

DawnM Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 missed it. now I want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well, in addition to using it as a regular pressure cooker, you can also saute, steam, slow cook, make yogurt. I'd never used a pressure cooker previously because I was afraid to...no fear with this thing. I guess if you already have a PC that you love, maybe the added functions wouldn't be enough reason to get the IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It also automatically switches to keep warm after it finishes pressure cooking. I am enjoying mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've had one for about a month and really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 And it sweeps the kitchen after meals and stops the children from whining. ;) (I'm seriously looking into this item, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
