Instant pot is it worth it?

Julie79 · 2022-09-02 16:54:05

Instant pots are half price right now and I'm tempted but also worrying about whether it will be worth the initial outlay to save energy costs when cooking? Does anyone have one? What types of things do you cook n it?

Is an instant pt JUST a fancy-pants pressure cooker?

I never use mine as a pressure cooker (just never got comfortable with pressure cooking) but I often use it as a slow cooker. It does the most amazingly succulent chicken (for those who eat chicken) but my favourite thing about it is the yogurt setting. Excellent yogurt, ready overnight.
