    I was so happy to be able to purchase this Insta Pot through the "Deal of the Day"at Best Buy. I have used it several times and it's made life during this Coronavirus more tolerable because I truly hate to cook. You just pt the food in and walk away until it's done! Now that's my kind of cooking!!

    This is a great pressure cooker. I only use 2 options: saute and pressure cook. Rice comes up perfect and without having to watch over it, as well as any kind of meat. It is specially good for pot roast and soups. It might be too powerful for certain chicken parts.

    I gave this instant pot as a gift. The recipient does a lot sous vide and now she can do it in her instant pot. She has one appliances for many uses beside pressure cooking, rice cooker, slow cooker , making yoghurt and now sous vide! She has a small counter space so she is so appreciative!

    I really like this Instant pot. I have another one as well. They are all pretty much the same I think as far as cooking, some just have different features. This one has the easy seal lid which is nice, you don't have to remember to seal it manually. I haven't tried the Sous Vide yet.

    The Instant Pot arrived as described. It came with a quick timer sheet that helped with setting appropriate times depending on the food you cook. For example, chicken breast are cooked instant and falls off the fork, soft. The only complaint I have is when you cook chicken the pressure creates a ring around the pot that you have lightly scrub before placing in the dishwasher. Everything else has been good so far.

    This was a gift for my mother, and she loves it. She uses it all the time, for all kinds of food. She's always talking about how she can cook green beans in under a minute. The price was great, and she was able to find a decorative wrapper for it on Etsy that she loves.

    I had higher expectations for my air fryer, but actually this product was a great surprise. You can cook different meats, rice, beans and anything that you can imagine. No air fryer function, but it is very useful for main courses or complements to eat every day. Highly recommended.

    I bought this because so many friends love theirs. I'm not sure if I'm messing up or if I have a defective product but it sprayed the cheese from the Mac and cheese recipe I found for an instant pot. I did not enjoy cleaning my cupboards and ceiling. I believe I read the instructions correct. Otherwise it works great. I'll recommend an instant pot when this one doesn't make such a huge mess.

    This product is great! Things cook so fast with the pressure cooker settings. It takes some time and research to navigate through a normal recipe. The instructions should come with basic recipes so you can tell how the machine works as compared to a pot on the stove. Also the type that is used on the instructions on top of the cooker needs to be easier to read. It's very tiny. The markings on the steam release valves are black on black and at the back of the lid. Also hard to navigate the first couple of times using it.

    I had my eye on this and then got this for a really great deal. I was totally excited about the pressure cooker. Haven’t tried to make a cake or yogurt yet but what a fun cooking item to have during this time of quarantine. Lots of great recipes to try in this awesome Instant Pot.

    A Very Versatile and Useful Kitchen Necessity

    Pressure cookers used to be dangerous if you're not careful. Not anymore. This pressure cooker does the job efficiently without the fear of exploding or burning you with hot exhaust. Not only does it cuts down your cooking time, it cooks/bakes most recipes for you with precision.

    BB had a great price on this, so I bought one for a friend. We used it and I saw that it was still on sale, and got 1 for our house. Having used pressure cookers before, I loved the advances. We've used it many times the month we've had it. All good. Old one heading to the trash.

    Been keeping an eye out for these to go on sale for the wife, so I grabbed for Valentines Day! Have yet to try it out, but heard lots of good things! Only negative about this model is it doesn’t come with the easy clean pot, this one is stainless which I heard is a pain to clean.

    While a little intimidating at first, this cooker can save you some time and energy preparing meals. The unit is all digital, which allows you to precisely adjust time and temperature. Got this on sale and recommend it for anyone who is not a chef.

    Have tried to make chili twice. Making it on the stove and then putting it Instant Pot to "slow cook". Had it on "more" and it never seemed to heat up. Finally, had to put it on "pressure cook" for a few minutes and it heated up fast. Documentation/guide does not give me enough information to get "slow cooking" working.

    This is the exact brand and type of Instant Pot that my daughter had and used every single day. Unfortunately, the lid was dropped on hers, thus ending a very useful life. When this went on sale I didn't hesitate one bit to purchase it for her! She loves it!!

    Have only used this a few times now (pretty new to cooking much), but have had success with everything so far. One item required that some meat (and onions and whatever else) be sautéd first and was able to do it in the Instant Pot, so no other pans were needed. Cool! Also, following directions, nothing has stuck to the pot, so it's been very easy to clean so far. Bit intimidated by it all, but so far so good! If I can do it, anyone can! ... within reason, anyway.

    So far I’ve only made eggs and pulled pork. Both turned out great. Delicious pulled pork in an hour and a half!! Im not much of a cook, so this is right up my alley. Super easy to use and you don’t have to wait all day for meat to cook to perfection.

    Got this on a daily deal for $50. My wife wanted this particular Insta Pot because of the yogurt setting. It is her dedicated yogurt maker and let me tell you we are saving lots of money making our own Greek yogurt. It has already paid for itself.
