Insignia™ - 6-Quart Multi-Function Pressure Cooker - Stainless Steel

I cook everyday, so I have seen these pressure cooker all over the internet and I was like, what's that about, so I decide to try this instead of the instant pot because everyone seems to buy only that brand. I said to myself, I am pretty sure there are others just as good. I took a chance on this so when I saw it was on sale, I ordered in online and asked my husband to pick it up. So far, I have made bolognese, shrimp biryani, ramen noodles with turkey meatballs, chickpeas curry, asian red bean soup. Easy cleaning and fast. The only thing I have slight complaint is that the searing temperature is a little high so keep an eye on it as this does not have the low, medium and high saute function and that it. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase ad I will buy it again & again!

I've steered clear of throwing in my lot with the Instant-Pot cult; I've heard too many stories of people buying or receiving one only to let them gather dust. I was curious though, as I do cook 3+ times a week, and banking recipes on AllRecipes.com in advance of my purchase pulled up some dishes I wouldn't otherwise have tried due to the amount of hassle and mess. A $30 special on this unit was the last straw, and I've been just amazed with the results. The time allowance for pressure to build in the pot isn't the drawback for me that some users warn of, and I learned pretty quickly that even the quick pressure release still needs to be opened gradually. I haven't been a big fan of making macaroni dishes in the cooker, as it forms a lot of gunk in the lid and tends to spray fine particles of the stuff out of the pressure release valve, but I've tackled chicken, pot roast, pork chops and ribs in this little gizmo, and everything has been amazing. Get an idea of what you intend to cook in it and research the little quibbles people have had with these toys before you take the plunge, but if you already like to cook and want to simplify things a little, or you're willing to invest the time to make some simple but amazing meals, this is a great place to get started, deep discount or no.

First off I LOVE this Cooker, have used it at least 4 times, But alas I see on the bottom inside on the heat plate there is a ring scuff from the insert.I have owned this cooker for less then a month, This SHOULD NOT be happening. I have had rice cooker for over 14 yrs never showed this type of defect, or wear. Kinda upset over this, I take very good care of my stuff , this shouldn't be happening in less then a month.

I received today and use it. I made honey sesame chicken and it was sooo delicious. I was very impressed and would highly recommend.

Great price to find out what all the buzz is about. Easy to use and clean. Right size for 4-5 people. Simple to use preprogrammed buttons.

Just got this yesterday looks very nice and it's pretty good size for family. It's bigger than I expected and it's a good price. Can't wait to use this.

It works great. On both slow cooker and pressure cooker.

I kept hearing a lot about pressure cookers until I bought and tried this Insignia. And it is simply amazing and I have since bought two more, one 6-quart and two 8-quart. I intend to buy a fourth one ... learn to use them because you're prepping different ingredients or condiments in separate cookers to mix later together in one cooker for the final recipe. Either that or cook in steps using the same cooker and that can be time consuming. The 6-quart cooker is big enough for most people and families and I would not recommend anything smaller than the 6-quart. If you're a big eater like me and you like to cook for several days, the 8-quart is ideal. I finally found the solution to my food problem. Almost immediately I stopped using my stove altogether. You can cook anything or almost anything in this pressure cooker. It's quick, easy, convenient and the taste is great. Plus I don't make a mess anymore in the kitchen and cleaning afterwards is minor. Not to mention all the money I am saving by cooking energy-efficiently compared to using my big stove. But you have to learn how to use the pressure cooker properly to enjoy all the benefits and make all the dishes and recipes you want. For that I cannot help you; turn to YouTube. Good luck!!!
