Multi Cooker/ Instant Pot

MandM90

A word of warning for anyone who goes for InstantPot - the slow cooker function is very inferior to my cheap and battered 10yo Morphy Richards Sear and Stew. I only really use it for pressure dried beans now (we're veggie) and am considering selling. Lots of things (lentils, rice) actually seem quicker on the hob once you factor in time taken to get to pressure.

I'm sure it's v. valuable for cooking cheaper cuts of meat though.

The Instant Pot I'm waiting for is only recently released in the US .

There did seem to be some issues with the models that were selling out last year . The only reason I haven't bought the King Pro is those I've seen are non stick and I prefer Stainless Steel when cooking .

Hello,

I've been wanting to replace my broken rice cooker, and was fortunate enough to be given a £50 Amazon voucher for Christmas. When I've searched for rice cookers, quite a lot of these multi cookers have come up and I wonder what your opinion is? Certainly it would be nice to create space by getting rid of rice cooker and rather cumbersome slow cooker, both which get regular use. But I also don't want something that is a jack of all trades but master of none.

Most of the ones in my price range are brands other than the famous 'instant pot', but if you felt the Instant Pot was the one that does all the functions 'properly' then I would probably hold out for it!

Many thanks!
