Heatherwith4 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) So, I was trying to wait until my birthday or Christmas to get the Instant Pot. However, the 6 Qt. is on sale at Amazon for $69.99. Is there any point in me buying this for my family of 5? ETA: I'm so confused. Is there even a bigger one?

Mama2BugNBear Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 $69.99!!!! That's an awesome price! I was looking at these today and may just have to jump in on this deal. I have zero experience with the Instant Pot or what size is best given family size... Following for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmvaughan4 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm pretty certain that's the size I bought on Prime Day. We're a family of six (although ones an infant) and its big enough for us. I'm really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bigger one--an 8-quart--but that one is priced around $160, and I don't think I've seen it go on sale. I'm considering this today too, but I really REALLY want the one with the yogurt feature. I'm on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Oh, bummer. I didn't realize it was the one that wouldn't make yogurt. I wonder if the one that makes yogurt will be on sale around Black Friday. I should probably just wait. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably just wait. :/ I was just doing some quick research, and according to a post on the FB group for IP users, you can still use the basic IP to make yogurt, you just need to add some extra steps. I couldn't find a recipe in my quick search, but I think I'm going to buy the one that's on sale anyway. I figure, if I love it and use it a lot, I'll catch the 7-in-1 on Black Friday and find a way to use two :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samm Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 You might need a big one and a small one. Because the the big one will can cook bigs things like multiple racks of ribs, corn on the cob. And many things taste better and have better texture if you allow the pressure to release naturally. This means the big pot will be occupied and not able to accept other stuff to cook during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 OK, i found a post on the FB group that talks about yogurt in the Lux: https://www.facebook.com/groups/InstantPotCommunity/permalink/981087981985190/?hc_location=ufi You can read without being a member. You might have to expand some of the replies to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
